The HIDDEN ROSARIUM
Ahmed Baki
(translation in progress)
 When
we connect modern scientific findings with the teachings of Sufi
authors who were focused on the deep spiritual understanding of
Islam and thus were inspired to know and experience the oneness
of “Allah” as the Unlimited Whole, it shows up that, for those who
were granted the gift of capability of reading it, our universe
that we observe through our brains as our environment of life, serves
us as a complete book of metaphors unfolded to recognize our true
potentials and the purpose for which we are here.
However, on the other hand, in case we spend our
lives exclusively within the limits of the five senses and with
a strong sense of individualism, the same world may become a permanent
cocoon for our minds in which we may be imprisoned forever and may
have to suffer great afflictions when we realize our loss.
It is my firm opinion that there is only one real
enemy of mankind more than anything else, which is ignorance of
reality of wholeness, that blinds us from experiencing the uncountable
beauties bestowed on our brains.
By doing his best to survive in the conditions
of life of his environment some 14 centuries ago, Mohammed (peace
be upon him) served the entire humanity as a Rasul of Allah and
the last of Anbiyah and revealed us the meaning of the Oneness through
the name “Allah.” Man’s negligence to learn accurately what the
noun “Allah” referred to is responsible for that great enemy of
mankind. This enemy causes every agony for man that has been lived
in the past and is lived now and will be lived in future.
For a “human being” who is aware that what is referred
to as “Allah” is not a judge god sitting above clouds but is the
originator of universe and his own essence and true reality, everything
that restricts us in this world of the five senses is nothing more
than an illusion that should be detached off. Someone who is conscious
about this fact will never give harm to others, but on the contrary
will empower his surrounding through love and generosity.
May Allah make it easy for us to understand and
savor the truth of life and the purpose for which we are here in
this life.
