THE MYSTERY OF THE KORAN

Ahmed Hulusi (translation in progress)

After reactivating my website (ahmedhulusi.org) at the beginning of 2005, I wanted to share various subjects with my readers in order to convey some new information to them.

Besides, especially those who could not follow our talks on the Expochannel TV during the month of Ramadan informed us of a need for a book of this kind.

So, we have decided to publish the articles that we have written before for the above reasons in a book upon public wish.

The main characteristic of my recent writings is the particular emphasis on the meanings of the verses of the Koran as per the mysterious meaning of the letter “B”.

Hadrat Ali, the King of Sainthood (Shah-ul Welayah) and “the door of the knowledge (ilm)”, said, “I am the walking Koran”.

Under the light of the hadith that “the Koran and man are twins”, he also said that “the mystery of the Koran is in Fatihah; the mystery of Fatihah is in Bismillah and the mystery of Bismillah is in letter ‘B’! And I am the DOT under that ‘B’! [In Arabic style, letter B is a horizontal line with a dot under.]

Leaving the last sentence of that saying to its people who have its experience, we shall now try to evaluate the issue from the very beginning in order to evaluate the Koran in view of the fact that the mystery of the Koran is in letter “B”.

I am trying to emphasize this fact:

There are two kinds of understanding in evaluating of the Koran.

The first one is the understanding of people who are not aware of, or who, despite their knowledge, fail to figure out the mystery that the letter “B” holds.

The second one is the understanding of people who appreciate the Koran in the lead of the meaning that the letter “B” brings in.

Every person that accepts the Religion (deen) of Islam is absolutely holds one of the two understandings.

Those holding the first understanding, take the matters of religion from a completely formalist and materialistic perspective. For those people, the god named as “ALLAH” that they believed is “up there” although He is said, in words, to be everywhere”! They stand before that god during their Salaat prayers! They worship that god to please him!. They take and accept every issue that is told in the Koran from a formalistic perspective based on the five senses, because they have been destined to fulfill this purpose in their basic nature and creation (fitrah).

Those who have the second understanding, however, accept and believe in the Rasul of ALLAH based on the mystery of “B” even though they may have not named it so. They accept the existence of all that is perceived or not, as a result of the Asma of the one named “ALLAH”, and have had conviction and even acquired closeness (yaqeen) that the Named behind the names is “Asma”. This point of view is the understanding of all folks of Allah (ahlullah) and saints of Allah (awliyahullah). Such an understanding is tried to be given to those who entered into Sufism step by step progressively so that they may digest it properly.

Those who hold the first view assume the right of having authority for themselves to talk on behalf of god up in the sky that they mistake to be “ALLAH”, and judge and question people in the name of that god with a “compulsive” and “domineering” perspective far from being tolerant and loving, and even declare others as “heretics” (kafir) if the others deny to accept their thoughts or to dress up in the way as they dress up.

However, the ones who hold the second view always treat people with a tolerant and loving attitude, they don’t condemn others because of the circumstances they are to live in, they do not target their dislike toward people but on actions, they advise others the Truth (Haqq) and handle what was done to them with patience, and as the outcome of all these, they have acquired closeness (yaqeen) to ALLAH from the inner path that goes deep within themselves and they felt respect for each person seeing the presence of one unique truth (haqiqah) in all people.

Open and read the innumerable works that have been written on this path.

The works that are in favor of the first understanding…

And the works that are in favor of the second understanding…

So the difference between the two is the difference between the understandings in which the mystery of “B” was disclosed and not.

Each of us will always be together with whom we share the same understanding today! So, may everyone’s understanding be blessed for himself!

How beautiful facilitator is the One that assesses and creates every individual with a specific function!

Let us hope that we will be able to join those who could evaluate the Koran by having attained the mystery of “B” with this point of view from the very beginning.
