Nowadays, in order to perceive the Quran and in spite of
all the things that are being lived, the only thing that
we have to do is to be sensitive as much as we can about
this ‘’universal dimension’’. We should be conscious (and
fully aware of ) this dimension as much as our capacity
permits us to do so in a determined and multi cultural
way.
If, this
cannot be done, then it seems that we shall not have any
chance to catch the limitlessness of what is pointed out
by the name Allah, to find this within ourselves and
live/experience accordingly. The lessons that should be
taken out of artificial knowledge accumulations and
experiences are pointing out these.
The core of the matter is
that when a commonsense
approach is made in accepting this, then this
matter and the ways of solving it would be much more
easier.
The subject that I am
talking about does not have any relation with having an
empathy. It is also not connected with healing the wounds
of the society. It is not ‘’We shall come to your home
watch the TV and talk’’ or ‘’You come to our home and we
can some cake and a cup of tea’’.
I am saying this openly;
what I am talking about is accepting a power, a science
and ‘’to melt away the old knowledge which means to throw
out the wastes’’.
Of course, I am writing
these for us, for the ones who are interested deeply in
this matter. My words are for those who do care about
this subject.
This is inherent in our
identity and in the blood that is running in our veins and
arteries. If, this subject cannot settle down in our
minds with common sense and develop accordingly, then
where will it go?
Let me
answer it right away: It leads to the worshipped God
(concept)!
The science which we have
once perceived only as words has changed, developed
rapidly and keeps on doing so and it is really at our
doorstep now. It reflects us the living Islam in the
most realistic way such that it doesn’t resemble anything
we have heard before.
Now, it has started to be the new
address of
the Quran.
Therefore, we must contribute and spend the utmost effort
in perceiving this. At least, in our bust daily life we
should give a place to this subject and think deeply
about it (so that it
can settle down in our minds).
I know, there are the ones
who are very much interested in Islamic stories, who want
to see the creation only at this level and who have been
used to live with these. They will start to raise their
voices and they will try to find a support for
themselves, but everything is over and there is no way of
turning back.
I believe that in a
framework of thinking where there is not a search for
making a show of good will, the problems will start to be
solved and they will be abolished by a way of thinking
which is open to the new.
The first detail about this
point is to determine that the material level does not
exist.
I can say only one thing to
those who say ‘’I
cannot undertand this’’ and my word is ‘’It is
necessary to know Allah’’!
When we talk about
‘’knowing’’ this should not only be something imaginary no
matter what you think about yourself. It is necessary to
understand ‘’that’’ meaning and understand it at the
scientific level (in
terms of science), even to leave the mystical
models carrying the smell of the allegories aside and
work on the concrete scientific data.
This is the only thing that
should be done.
When it comes to this point
none of us will have a word to say and at this point we
shall find ourselves
with a real understanding of the Quran.
You should know that if, we
remain stubborn and stay where we are
( stick with
the old),
then Allah will never forgive us.
In connection with this we
must point out an important development too.
It is our duty to take into
consideration al the sensitive and the delicate points in
order not to harm the recent manifestation.
The reason is that the
narrow minded, prejudiced ones who think that life is
only to stay away from the worldly matters will insist on
their old way of thinking and will not change their minds
with the start of this project. I know this. However,
with such an attitude (perhaps they are not aware of it ),
they have already made themselves outsiders and directed
themselves towards a chaos.
May you
remain with love and may you be entrusted to Allah.
