THE VOICE OF SYSTEM

Ahmed Hulusi, translated by Ahmed Baki

My dear friends:

This book is composed of a series of writings originally published on our Internet web site as a weekly column under the heading "The System Calls". In this book we present the articles in a topical sequence rather than chronological.

My convictions, that I have acquired as a result of my years-long investigations have provided me with a viewing of the Deen of Islam and RasulAllah Mohammed Mustafa (peace be upon him) from a completely new perspective, by the grace (lutf) of Allah. I realized that many of problems of our day could be solved within that perspective.

If we can share that point of view with good intentions and genuineness, we will see that many of problems born out of misunderstanding and misinterpretation can be eliminated, hence we will come to face with a completely different and a new understanding of the Deen-i Islam and the Koran.

As there is a huge gap between the concepts of "god" and "ALLAH", there is equally great difference that exists between the concepts of "PROPHET" and "RASUL". This is one of the most important topics you are going to find in this book.

Besides, you will be greeted by a great number of points of fact in this book, which are quite different from what has been said about them before. One, for instance, is the concept of READING the Koran with its "SOUL" or "SPIRIT".

Many of the discussions you will find in this book involve my personal interpretations that have not been touched on before! Perhaps it is the precise purpose of my existence! Of course, you do not have to share these interpretations. But I hope you may at least reach some openness and tolerance that some points could have been understood that way as well…

If I may communicate to you what I would like to explain:

I hope you will have a quite different viewing about:

What the noun "ALLAH" refers to…

What the one qualified as "Rasul" signifies…

What the concept of "afterworld" (akhirat) is meant to tell…

What the concept of "Salaat" is used to inform to experience…

How to READ the Koran with a consciousness of Its SPIRIT could be...

How Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him) and those that he brought could be UNIVERSAL…

The Universe, the space, all that is around you and that is in your essence…

I need to give emphasis to the following as an addition to my discussions in this book:

I bear none of the titles or labels other than being a "thinker" making investigations about those themes for quite many years!
There cannot be a personal path peculiar to myself and neither should there be one! Everybody should define a path for himself with his own mind (maybe through taking the benefit of my explanations as well if desired), and should suffer the consequences of it.
There is nobody to talk on my behalf and there cannot be such a someone ever.

They, who share what I have written at the degree of their understanding, can only talk for themselves… I am not bound by anybody’s talks or writings.

A person can only narrate to others what he understands and how he interprets what I have written. I am responsible only for my own writings.
Pretence - Imitation (taqlid), it should be known, is a great mistake that extends to the denial of human honor and place.

Hazrat Mohammed (peace be upon him) has come not to be followed by imitation (taqlid) but to be understood (reasoned out) and the requirements of that understanding to be lived effectively. Considering that even such a Person is not to be followed by imitation, then it would be a great error to follow any other person by imitation.

Act on the effect of your belief wherever you fail to conceive, but this should never hold you back from inquiry and questioning, so that you may reach the wisdom of an idea.

My friend…

Please never dismiss it from your mind that…

There is no validity of a concept of making an excuse in the dimension you will pass to through death, and neither will there be a chance of coming back to earth again to gain what you have not acquired before… In the next dimension you will involuntarily live the outcome of the actions that you carry out at present.

How important is something for you if you are going to leave it here permanently?

How important is something for you if you want to have it with you forever?

Make your choice with careful consideration of that point, so that you may not live in irreversible regret everlastingly!..

I hope that the evaluation of these lines is placed in you by creation (fitrat) - by your allotment (nasib) and this book may be a vehicle for you to reach many novelties and beauties.

May "Allah" unfold Hu's beauties in all of us by means of Hu's name "as Salaam".
