I must
say it
beforehand
that we
have no
personal
problem
with
anyone.
Such a
thing is
cannot
be
possible.
The
reason
for this
is our
belief
in that
one,
whole
being
and in
relation
with
this our
belief
in the
system.
However,
we are
fully
aware of
the fact
that it
is a
must to
deal
directly
with the
problems.
Therefore,
from
time to
time under
these
circumstances
we are
obliged
to make
criticisims.
However,
if we
behave
and
share
in
accordance
with the
concept
‘’empathy’’
that
we love
so much;
most
probably
we would
have
done a
much
better
thing.
Perhaps,
people
will
find me
prejudiced
and
criticise
me.
However,
it is in
our nature
to know
what is
right
and talk
about
it, but
not to
become
afraid
and remain
silent.
When I
look at
some of
the
words
that are
being
said
among
the
people about
knowing
Allah I
am
asking
myself
this
question:
Are the
words
that are
coming
out of
their
mouths
a
result
of lack
of
knowledge-experience?
Or, is
it
because
they
really
believe?
Or, is
it
because
they are
perfect
and
faultless?
If, this
had not
been the
case,
most
probably
they
wouldn’t
be able
to put
forth
such
meaningless
ideas and
they
would
never have
the
courage
to do so.
PErhaps,
all of
these
are due
to lack
of
knowledge.
I am
thinking
that
if they
had
Allah’s
knowledge
they
wouldn’t
have the
courage
to speak
in this
manner
in
public.
Because,
one day
some
people
may say
to them
‘’You
see
Allah as
the one
and only
god and
your
thinking
is wrong’’
It is
very
natural
that
the one
who
refrains
from
moving a
finger (from
making
the
slightest
move)
and who
does not
want to
loose
the
possibilities
(the
things
that he
has in
hand
) that
are
available
for him
and at
the same
time the
one who
does not
believe
in
change cannot
realize
such
kind of
approaches.
It seems
to me
that at
this
point
there
are
things
which
cannot
be
understood
easily.
For the
approaches
that are
veiled
from
Allah,
I
suggest
you to
read the
masterpiece
of
Hz. Abd
al-Karim
al-Jili
‘’The
Perfect
Human
being’’(
The
Universal
Man).
Please,
believe
me that
this is
a
suggestion
from a
friend
and it
is the
indication
of
stepping
back
from a
great
big
mistake.
However,
at this
point of
perception
it is
necessary
to
answer
the
following
question
too;
Does
Allah only
consist
of
change?
It is
the time
to start
debating
about
the idea
that
considers
the
absolute
being
consisting
only of
change
every
instant.
The
reason
is that
Hz.
Abd
al-Karim
al-Jili
in the
chapter
about
the
revelations
says ‘’
Allah’s
revelations
change
all the
time,
but
Allah
never
changes’’.
Now, I
am
asking
‘’why
and how
do some
people
either
intentionally
or
without
knowing
find
within
themselves
such a
legitimate
source
which
justifies
such an
application’’.
All
right,
they can
perceive
in that
manner,
but
aren’t
there
any
first
class
people
who can
evaluate
these?
Yes,
there
are!
Sure
there
must be
some.
Our
people
in the
upper
segment
have
this
consciousness.
It is
certain
that in
order to
make a
decision
regarding
something
very
important
and if
you want
to know
its true
aspects,
then it
will be
necessary
to know
very
well
the
meaning
pointed
out by
the name
Allah
which
has
become
so
common
and used
so often
by
everyone.
The
corresponding
meaning
to the
said
concept
is
‘’Ahad’’*,
when it
gets
just a
little
bit
outwards,
then it
is named
as ‘’Nothing,
nothingness’’
and its
reflection
to the
zaqhir/the
visible
realm is
the
‘’Point’’
which is
the
dimension
of the
al-Asma,
the
beautiful
names of
Allah.
The
first
singular,
one
structure
that
will
become
manifest
from the
point
is
referred
to by
the
decree
‘’in a
new
state
every
instant’’.
In this
manner
these
points
become
more
clear.
As a
result
it is
possible
for us
to
express
the
following:
‘’Allah
does not
change,
(Allah
never
changes);
it is
Allah’s
revelations
that
change.
Before
this
information
formes a
firm
foundation/
basis in
our
minds
when we
use this
command
‘’Allah
is in a
new
state
every
instant’’,
in the
form
of ‘’yesterday
it was
so and
today it
is like
this’’
just as
we like
it and
if we
try to
describe
Allah in
this
manner,
then we
would
cause a
terrible
mistake.
This
would
mean the
seizure
of what
is
pointed
out by
the name
Allah
and the
burden(the
price to
be paid
for this)
for this
would be
great.
**Ahad:
literally
"one."
Islamically,
ahad
means
One
Alone,
unique,
none
like God.
