Our web site can be considered to have a humble classification and understanding when compared to the magnificent web sites whose daily hits amount to 150 with almost 25 thousand readers observing them. From
time to time, some of the readers
who are visiting our web site
are directing us questions on mystical subjects. I
had said before that I would be studying on these and publish the answers
by referring to the questions in a way that would be useful for the the
other readers too. Now,
let us come to the questions and their answers. Question from
H.Macar Malkara
I
would be delighted if you could give me the addresses where I can find the
translations of Futuhat-ý
Mekkiye and Fususul Hikem which you have referred as Muhyiddin Arabi’s
books. Also,
I would like to say ‘’May Allah approve all the good things that you have done which I
have seen or could not have seen.’’ Yours
respectfully... P.s.
In Mawlana Celaleddin Rumi’s books Masnawi and Fihi Mafih, always the the
word God is being mentioned. Why isn’t it mentioned as Allah? Is
the mistake in the word or in its concept??? Answer: Dear
Mr. Malkara, unfortunately there isn’t an understandable one among the
translations of the books belonging to that precious
person. I have investigated a lot on the subject.
I have asked for the opinions of my friends who are also interested
in this subject and I have
searched the old
Booksellers’ Market as well as the White Building where it is possible
to find books on this subject. However,
the result was not satisfactory. As
a matter of fact, the late Abdul
Kadir Akçiçek was
translating these kind of works in the best possible way.
He had translated ‘’The Universal Man’’ into Turkish. It was in
conformity with the Turkish of our day, however the style in which it was
written was very complicated. Before
reading books of this type, I
suggest you to read the other relatively easier books on sufism and study
a little bit the concepts stated by the words in Arabic and
the Ottoman language. As
it is very well known by the possessors, in Sufism, in every case meanings
which are covering various
dimensions are inherent. I
am answering your second question as follows; Mawlana
Celaleddin Rumi was one of the
most distinguished saints who had got saved from his attributed false
self. In other words, he was
a saint who was living the absolute self. There
is no place for a concept of god in the perfection of
walayat/saintship. Therefore, the word God mentioned in Mawlana’s books has
resulted from the misunderstandinng of the unit who has made the
translation. It has been
reflected in this wrong manner. The
biggest misunderstanding in perceiving and evaluating Islam is identifying
the word ‘deity’ which passes very often in many places in the Koran,
with the word God and transferring this to the reader.
The science of Sufism solves these kinds of
problems with a very deep approach.
Question from Bora
Çiđdem- Bursa
Let
me salute you. I am a student in the education faculty of
Uludađ University in Bursa. Your channel is very good. May Allah
be pleased with you. I am
trying to work on Sufism as much as Allah permits.
However, there are questions which I cannot solve.
I would like to ask a question.
Allah, the endless and the limitless one has created this Universe
as real, but this is free from the concepts of time and place. However,
I cannot match this with the event of the big bang and my mind
cannot stop from thinking about the God that I have imagined before. I would be very pleased if you could give the explanation for
this. May Allah be pleased with you. Answer
My
dear friend, many people are concerned for understanding this subject, not
only yourself. The event of Big Bang has not taken place only once. It takes
place in infinite times. Allah
is endless and limitless, therefore it is necessary that this theory
should be in this form. As
a matter of fact, the positive science could not solve this subject yet.
Therefore, you are forming your understanding to
match the concept of God. On
this subject, you have to read my article ‘’Man in the Cosmic
Calendar’’ which is found in my web site and published in the monthly
‘’Popular Science’’ in which I am writing for the time being. Another
book which can save you from the concept of god is the one
written by Ahmed
Hulusi ‘’Allah, as explained by Hz.Mohammad’’. I suggest you to
read this book. I
hope that you can find this book in the book stores in Bursa and send my
greetings to you. Ahmet F.Yuksel
