THE REVELATIONS

Ahmed Hulusi, translated by A. Cuneyt Tari

Dear Honoured Person:

Indeed, many words have been spoken already. Every single person has written or related something about things they have heard from others, or have understood for themselves to the best of their knowledge and their ability.

Some of them have not even bothered to talk about anything at all; instead they have wanted to express everything with just one word.

Some have accepted the Truth, and some have denied it. But theirs was such a denial that it revealed the most definite proof of all. In other words, with their denials, they have actually proved the Truth.

Some of them have spent their days accusing one another. They have said, "He has certainly been separated from the Truth, whereas we are on the right track. Indeed, we are the guardians of the Truth", as if the Truth were something that needed to be protected.

There have been others who have come out and said, "You can see yourselves as being different from us as much as you want, but in actual fact we are all together as one".

And so we have come to this moment in time, and still the same things are being repeated over and over again in more or less the same way.

We can classify the whole of mankind into two main groups: one group would include those people who sincerely think about others in the same way as they think about themselves; the other group would include those people who place importance only on their own status, and are always striving to serve their own selfish ends.

By the end of this book, it will become crystal clear that none of us should criticize anybody or any group for their actions, nor should we reach a negative verdict about them. Because the following command reveals everything:

"Say: Everyone acts according to his manner". (Qur'an 17:84)

When all is said and done, it is not for us to accuse or blame another being whom Allah has created.

Success comes from Allah, who is the Lord (Rabb) of all the universes..
