“O…!
Eba Bekr!
Shirk
(Polytheism-ascribing
a
partner)
is more
hidden
than the
sound of
an
ant’s
foot in
yourselves!”
For a
man
saying “Allah
has
wished,
therefore
I have
wished”
is
considered
Shirk”.
And for
a man
saying “If
such
person
weren’t
there
for me,
the
other
one
would
have
killed
me”is
considered
Shirk.”
These
holly
statements
coming
out of
Rasul
of
Allah’s
mouth,
are
moving a
big
stone
off its
ground
that has
barely
been
noticed
or
ignored
until
then.
Besides,
it is
not only
changing
the
shaky
parts of
the
system,
but also
approving
the “oneness”
of the
being in
a way.
The
reason
is that
shirk
is out
in the
open and
it is so
close to
us such
that we
can
reach it
by hand.
Basically,
it (shirk)
adds the
label
of
carelessness
and
irresponsibility
to the
destruction
that it
has
caused
in those
people
who have
assumed
themselves
to be a
body of
flesh
and
bones.
Naturally,
saying “There
is no
God,
only
Allah”
does not
abolish
Shirk.
Nowadays,
those
who have
faith,
thanks
to the
universal
guide-adviser,
are
showing
that
they can
behave
in a
more
courageous
and
determined
way and
set
themselves
free
from the
visual
compositions.
Moreover,
the
significant
signs/clues
that
will
prevent
us from
falling
easily
into the
state of
shirk
are
being
given.
Those
who can
evaluate,
on the
way to
understanding
Allah,
after
having
said “Let
Shirk
come to
an end”,are
thinking
that
that,
this
explanation
will be
the “opportunity”
to solve
their
problems.
At least,
this is
what is
being implied.
Because,
once
Shirk
has been
abolished,
getting
cross
with
someone,
being
offended,
feeling
bad will
come to
an end,
no one
will
look
down
upon
another
person,
will not
talk
behind
his back,
will
not
blame
and
criticize
him,
will not
become
angry,
furious
, will
not
imply
that he
explains
and
knows
ISlam
beter.
He will
be
tolerant,
humble,
open to
renewal.
Briefly,
he will
perceive
the
fundamental
principles
by the
help of
these
manners,
won’t be
stuck in
simple
levels
and most
important
of all
such
people will
reach a
point in
their
consciousness
and
realize
that the
being is
solely
one.
From now
on, the
coincidances,
betrayals,
big
sorrows,
the
burdens
and that
heavy
mood
will not
overwhelm
the
individuals
easily.
Actually,
this is
the
lifesytle-the
attitude
on which
one
wishes to
focus.
Those
who know
themselves
or those
who want
to find
the
truth
and to
get rid
of the
psychic
motives
in their
heads
have
agreed
that
this is
the
final
point.
Almost
everyone
is
determined
to take
this new
approach
(new
application)
all the
way to
the end.
Those
who
don’t
consider
the new
conditions
or who
don’t
care
much
about
them will
be
trapped
in this
“vicious
circle”
continuously
and will
lose
their
eternal
life by
being
blocked/
veiled
from the
truth.
Of
course,
there
are
various
reasons
to
remain
in the
state of
Shirk.
The most
significant
one, as
it is
well
known,
is to
assume
oneself
to be a
body of
flesh
and
bones.
This
assumption
initially
starts
to be “programmed
in the
mother’s
womb,
gradually
develops,
grows,
becomes
richer,
increases
its
density
and
causes
the
human
being to
loose
his
power (weakens
the
human
aspects)”.
In this
matter,
the
mystical
segments
of the
society,
especially
the
narrow-minded
conservative
ones
want to
take
advantage
of this
situation.
They are
making
an
effort
to find
some
errors
in the
matters
that we
have
discussed.
They
think
that
they
will
become
more
rich in
spiritual
growth
if they
combine
the
body-centered
approach
with the
belief
system.
However,
these
type of
thoughts
are
completely
wrong.
In fact,
the
warnings
of
our
Rasul
Hazrat
Mohammed
(s.a.v)
are also
showing
this.
Many
significant
problems
will be
wiped
out by
perceiving
these
warnings
deeply.
The
above
mentioned
attempts,
progress
and
growth rubs
out
seriously
the
individual’s
self,
that is
“his
assumption
to be a
body of
flesh
and
bones”.
Once,
these
new
adjustments
are
settled,
it
becomes
easier
to see
that “the
daily
life
wounds
caused
by Shirk
and the
absurdities
make
your
life
miserable”
are
so
meaningless.
This is
where
the
Classical
Approach
to Islam
and the
Renovative
Approach
to Islam
get
separated
from
each
other
with
those
type of
cracks.
Briefly,
if we
look at
the two
different
approaches
(and
practices),
we
witness
the
ongoing
opposition
between
the two
points
of view
the
common
one and
the
superior
one/the
point of
view of
those
who have
attained
certainty
to
Allah.
At the
beginning
Allah’s
knowledge
(science)
has
given
the
message
of “Renovation”
and as a
result
of this,by
all
means,
in
paralell
with
explanations
of our
Rasul
Hazrat
Mohammed,
it has
revealed
the true
meaning
of Shirk.
Following
these
explanations,
as a
basic
practice,
our
Rasul
Hazrat
Muhammed’s
warnings
and
suggestions
have
been
taken
into
consideration
more
seriously.
Nowadays,
the
difference
has
revealed
itself
out in
the open.
The
problems
are
gradually
being
solved.
In a
sense,
people’s
determinism
is
derived
from
this
point.
Everyone
has more
or less
understood
how
meaningless
it is to
ruin/to
sacrifice
a whole
life by
meaningless
obsessions.
The
awakened
ones
are are
not
disrespectful
to those
who
chose
the “old-fashioned
I know
all what
is
necessary”
approach,
but
they
strongly
emphasize
that
from
then on,
it is
absolutely
necessary
to reach
out for
the
truth
and
solve the
dilemma/the
difficult
situations
with “that
new
perception”.
If,
their
point of
view
doesn’t
change,
they
don’t
insist
because
they
sense
that it
is due
to their
purpose
of
existence.
They
know
that it
is
useless
to talk
about
the
practice
of life
to them.
Nevertheless,
if
Allah
wishes,
they can
also “attain
the
hidaya;convert
to the
right
way”,
and they
accept
that
those
ones
will
never be
the same
again.
The
important
thing is
to be
able to
come to
this
point,
to be
able to
read “Eshedu...”
from the
beginning
to the
end,
isn’t
it?
In my
opinion,
whoever
disregards
this
fact,
makes a
huge
mistake.
The
consequences
(of this
irresponsible
action)
will be
great.
We can
say that
these
type of
explanations
and the
consciousness
revealing
itself
openly,
has
brought
all of
us to
the
doorsteps
of the
divine
knowledge.
Therefore,
I am
saying
that
there is
no
reason
to waste
this
incredible,
magnificent
opportunity. |
