Reading RasulAllah

While it is so much important to "read" the Koran al Karim

Do you think it is at all behind it to "read" the Rasul of Allah who brought us face to face with the Koran al Karim?.. How far and to what end do you think the "Book" could be "read" without "reading" the Rasul of Allah who communicated It to us?

People including Muslims in general are not concerned about "reading" RasulAllah, at all!

In the eyes of that dull-witted majority…

Hazrat Mohammed aleyhessalaam were, as if, a postman on earth chosen for communicating the commandments of a god who sits on the Sirius star and sends commandments down from there!

He is considered, sort of a justice official appointed to the official communiqué with people for delivering the imperial commandments of a God according to His whims, that were received by the agency of an intermediary institution known as Gabriel!.. God were to declare commands from up-there, the postman were to deliver them, and we, the door servants were to obey the commandments! The more-royalist-than-the-king servants of him-up-there, however, were to punish, beat to death and murder those who disobey the commands; and also issue court orders that "it is lawful (vajib) to murder such people". Marry, judge and murder all on behalf of him-up-there!

In short, as it were, a PROPHET acting like a shadow or a loud speaker on earth for a god-up-there!

Besides, there is the majority of people who follows the PROPHET upon their CONJECTURE (imaginal opinions -anxieties)!

Why should not they follow? They should of course follow, so that they may have to suffer less torment in future; even get rid of the Hellfire and enjoy Paradise forever within pleasures and felicity!

They look like those who run about after with the hope of a carrot and the fear of cudgel… At one side they try their best within both fear and hope to do what is ordered to do as much as they can; on the other side, they try to penetrate the prohibitions to enjoy the outcome of it as much as could be, assuming that they are being hidden from the eyes or from the care of Him-who-is-up-there, at all.

There is no questioning, investigation and reflection in them! Such words as "why-how-what" never cross their minds. “Came this way, go this way! You were for hell if you disobey, and for heaven if you obey”!!!…

Let alone the answers to the questions like "why hell?" and "what kind of heaven?”, they do not even bother to take the questions into their minds! “You know, the Prophet has received those commands from God up there and communicated to us as a loud speaker! Forget about the rest!

He has said, ‘perform namaz’; and you see, I bow down and stand up five times a day! Do you mean my purpose in doing them? It does not matter; what matters is that I should perform those movements and repeat the words that I do not understand! I have been obeying the orders of Him-up-there, why should not He put me into his Paradise?.. I also suffer hunger one month a year upon His request! As the Creator of universe is rewarded with my hunger, so should I be rewarded with his paradise in return!.. Why shouldn't He let me in his paradise, as I listen to His PROPHET and follow his imperial commands?.. Why not then?.. Besides, I am spending so much money on sticks and stones for building schools-mosques and also for decorating His houses like palaces in the name of the RELIGION! And why shouldn't He give me a garden house in His Paradise as a reward?.. Of course, it is none of my business if people did not know the meaning of religion at all and if they did not find answer to their questions; or if the religious understanding is in an outdated condition and if people cannot reach the information without payment! I cannot care about tons of people who are at the doorstep of starving to death; God should take care of them as He created them! I cannot care about millions of people, I can only build schools for a number of fifty to one hundred children and just meet their educational expenses! I am spending hundreds of billions for that!

Of course, He will put me in His Paradise in return and give me seventy beautiful houries and seventy garden houses there!..

* * *

Such is the understanding of Muslimism that was created with so many more similar assumptions generated through the points of view that is shaped upon the understanding of a GOD up in the sky and His public speaker-postman PROPHET!..

Their subjection to the Prophet is one that is brought by CONJECTURE!

Dull-witted people's complex of GOD-Religion-PROPHET and their ways of life based on it…

* * *

Besides, there are some who follow the RASUL of ALLAH with their INTELLECT ―reasoning―(aql)!..

Some of Hazrat Mohammed's aleyhessalaam companions used to call him "Oh NabiyAllah", others "Oh RasulAllah"!..

Never anyone called him "Oh Prophet!"!.. Neither the word “prophet” was ever mentioned in the Koran…

What is "Nubuwwat" (the quality of being Nabi)? What is its function? Why is one a Nabi? How one becomes a Nabi? How "Nubuwwat" comes into being? Where does Nubuwwat take its origin in a person? Why was Hz. Mohammed aleyhessalaam given the quality of a Nabi?

What is the reason behind the distinction of these two concepts from each other for such a Person (Zhat) in the Koran al Karim, instead of referring him only with the term "Prophet"? Why does the name "Nabi" is used for him in particular as a reference to the function of "Nubuwwat" in connection with certain definitions, while his being a "Rasul" and the concept of "Risalat" are mentioned in connection with other definitions and other functions?

What is "Risalat"? What is its function? For which aspect is a person a Rasul? How to be a Rasul? How does "Risalat" unfold in a person and where does "Risalat" take its root? HOW and for which aspects has Hz. Mohammed aleyhessalaam become a "Rasul of Allah"?

If one suggests that Rasul refers to those only who have brought a book, why then it is made clear in the chapter of Mariam (Mary), sign 54, that Ismail aleyhessalaam is both a Nabi and a Rasul, although he did not bring any book or scripture?

Without realizing these…

Without understanding what is referred to as "ALLAH" that Hz. Mohammed aleyhessalaam informed and tried to make us realize…

Without grasping the wisdom in the fact that "WALI" is the One who is denoted by the name Allah

Without evaluating the fact that "Sema" (heavens) in many places of the Koran is cited with reference to some "DIMENSIONS" rather than the "sky"…

Without understanding that the act of "NUZUL" (descension) is toward the consciousness of an individual from within his reality, without being from the sky down to earth…

Without experiencing that "URUJ" (ascension) is an ideational action of ascension toward the reality of existence from within the consciousness

How can one call some PERSON (Zhat) as a PROPHET and regard him as a postman or a loud speaker, while he lived all that mentioned above and consequently made the necessary announcement, showed the way toward the eternal felicity for the entire humankind as a RASUL of ALLAH?

Come to your senses!..

Retire in to a corner in private and start REFLECTING in a SYSTEMATIZED manner!

How can you consider the One denoted by the name "ALLAH”, as a God sitting on the Sirius star, considering that it is Hu that has created this universe out of a PIN-POINT (nokta), that contains billions and billions of galaxies, and that created countless POINTS and countless universes from each of those POINTS, and what's more, whose execution continues all the time; and how can you accept that a PROPHET is His, as it were, something between a loud speaker and a postman on earth?

If you are still for the same opinion, then I wish you happiness in your cocoon!

But if you are able to say instead, that it is impossible for you to think the same any longer…

Then, leave behind all your opinions of value and welcome the "BOOK" found on a shelf anew, entitled " MOHAMMED MUSTAFA, the RASUL and the NABI of ALLAH", that is essential to "read" but not read so far! (I am not speaking about a printed book made of paper for those dull-witted people!)

Start with trying to "read" the life stages and the SYSTEM OF THOUGHT of an Intellect who unfolded in Mecca for the purpose of becoming a "KHALIPH" and with a convenient fitrat to actualize such a purpose on a planet which is a satellite of a star among the billions of others in a galaxy beside billions of other galaxies in our universe, while all that exists only as one of the pin-points out of countless POINTS, that what is denoted by the name "ALLAH" creates at every moment…

Try to distinct, understand how it can be for an Intellect to evaluate the surrounding conditions, the existence as well as his own reality, while taking part in this physical world bearing the fitrat of "caliphate" beforehand and who sustained the genetic database of “khanifism” and found within himself the genetic heritage of a consciousness, that destroyed with his hatchet (!) the recognition of angelic powers in stars as gods and also resurrected the dead bird with the power of Allah?..

Such a unique consciousness (intellect)!..

Such a magnificent identity!..

Such a marvelous reformist personality!..

Did he receive a PROPHETHOOD from a GOD sitting in Sirius or in BETA NOVA?..

Or if not…

A “RASUL” was he and also a “NABI” of the One that is informed through the name “Allah”?

Was he a governor-commander-loud speaker delivering the imperial commandments of a god-up-in-the-sky?

Or if not…

A “RASUL” was he who expressed the recommendations offered with the aim of helping people realize the One denoted by the name “Allah” within their own reality and live its effect, through transferring them into this dimension in a manner that they all arrive from Allah being his own reality (haqiqat)?

Or a ”NABI” of Allah was he who offered the worldly perspective and types of practices that will enable people to save themselves from endless sufferings and attain eternal felicity?

Consider it seriously now; if you live to believe in God’s prophet named Hz. Mohammed, or Mohammed Mustafa aleyhessalaam, the “Rasul” and the “Nabi” of what is denoted by the name "Allah"?

If you believe in the latter… Then what kind of different aspects from believing in the first one do you have in your thought other than its verbosity with mere words? Pick them out and put in one side!

First of all, we must very well understand these points, so that we may start trying to “read” the “BOOK” named MOHAMMED MUSTAFA who is a “RASUL” and “NABI” of the One referred to as “ALLAH”!

Let us prepare ourselves to “read” how that Person (zhat) dealt with circumstances at each event, how his point of view toward events (circumstances) was, how he sought solutions in “Allah” for problems; and what it meant for him to “seek solutions in Allah” and how it could be; also from where to where he directed the circumstances to get a solution, why people’s perspective must be based on Allah’s viewing to evaluate life and circumstances…

Besides…

We should know with certainty that…

We have not got any chance or opportunity other than being dependent on the last “nabi” of the One referred to as “ALLAH”, if we want the felicity in this world and Hereafter; and on the “RASUL of ALLAH” if we want to attain the One referred to as “ALLAH” that is our reality!

May Allah make us realize and comprehend this fact; facilitate its effect and bestow its digestion!
