    In the name of Allh, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate

    PREFACE

    Our dear readers, nowadays people act with the fiveconditions of Islm in the four corners of the earth. And they are surethat their worships are sufficient. But Islm necessitates much morethan they have been doing.

    Is the situation really so?

    The answer to this question exists in the Noble Qurn. Thelife lived by our Master the Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions

    (sahbe) was Islm. The life that they had lived was to observe theentirety of the Noble Qurn (3/l-Imrn 119). The whole of the

    Noble Qurn contains the four Trusts in us:

    The Spirit

    The Physical Body

    The Soul

    The Free WillAllh has given orders not only to our physical body, but also

    to our soul and our spirit.

    And what is important is to surrender these trusts to Allah inaccordance with these orders, these obligations placed upon us, withthe Invitation of Allh, and that the person may reach irshad bysurrendering his soul that is the body and the free will he willsurrender lastly to Allh (2/Al-Baqarah 186). And this is a

    prescription (farz). It is possible to find it today in all the HolyScriptures. The verses concerning the surrender (teslim) have beenexactly preserved in all the Holy Scriptures (42/Ash-Shra 47).

    Our Master the Prophet (PBUH) and all sahbe hadsurrendered firstly their spirits and then their physical bodies to Allh

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    22/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    XX

    (3/l-Imrn 20). And afterwards they had reached irshad(perfection). They had also surrendered their souls and their free willsto Allh (49/Al-Hujurt 7).

    They had thus surrendered the four trusts to Allh.

    They had become Islm (muslims) in the real sense of theword.

    The first meaning of the word of Islm is the surrender(teslim, submission) Only the person who has been able to surrenderhis four trusts to Allh attains the honor of being Islm. As for thissurrender: it does not come into being by saying merely: I have alsosurrendered to Allh. It has its conditions.

    The second meaning of the word of Islm is peace andtranquility, happiness. Our Exalted Lord names this infinite happiness(Hazzul azm = Supreme Delight) (41/Fussilat 35).

    We had already said: Surrendering to Allh (being Islm) hasits conditions. These are the conditions of the first (bottom level) andsecond (top level) order.

    The conditions of the first (bottom level) order are these:

    1. The purification of the soul.

    2. The spirits reaching Allh (Hidyet = Guidance)

    3. The physical bodys becoming a servant to Allh.

    The condition of the second (top level) order are these:

    1. The spirits surrendering to Allh.

    2. The physical bodys surrendering to Allh.

    3. The souls surrendering to Allh.4. The free wills surrendering to Allh.

    A. THE FULFILLMENT OF THECONDITIONS OF THE FIRST ORDER

    First of all, the oaths belonging to our three bodies that wehad given to Allh in the Pre-eternity should be fulfilled.

    1. Our spirit has sworn to reach Allh in the life of this

    present world (before dying) [13/Ar-Rad 20, 21] [the Covenant Msk].

    2. Our physical body has sworn to be a servant to Allh andnot to be a servant of Satan. [36/Y-Sn 60, 61] (the Oath Ahd).

    3. Our soul has sworn to be purified (91/Ash-Shams 9, and74/Mddessir 38, 39, 40) (The Vow Yemn).

    Our Exalted Lord has given us orders that constitute theprescriptions concerning the fulfillment of these four oaths.

    1. Our Exalted Lord has made obligatory upon us twelvetimes our spirits reaching Allah while we are living the life of thisworld:

    1. 39/Az-Zumar 54 7. 42/Ash-Shra 47

    2. 89/Al-Fajr 28 8. 73/Al-Muzzammil 83. 30/Ar-Rm 31 9. 13/Ar-Rad 21

    4. 51/Adh-Dhriyt 50 10. 10/Ynus 25

    5. 31/Luqmn 15 11. 5/Al-Midah 7

    6. 6/Al-Anm 152 12. 4/An-Nis 58

    2. Our Lord has made obligatory upon us our physical bodys

    being a servant to Allh through three verses (2/Al-Baqarah 21;6/Al-Anm 152; 5/Al-Midah 105)

    3. He has made obligatory upon us the purification of oursoul again through three verses (5/Al-Midah 105; 89/Al-Fajr 27,28; 6/Al-Anm 152)

    The fulfillment of these oaths is realized at the 21th stage.

    1. We experience some events.2. We evaluate these events.

    3. We wish to reach Allh in the life of this world.

    4. Allh manifests Himself with His All-Compassionate(Rahm) name over us.

    5. Allh takes out the invisible veil between us and ourmurshid appointed for us in the Pre-eternity and the veil namedgavet on our sight.

    6. Allh takes out vakr (immaterial weight, deafness) fromour ears and the seal on our hearing.

    7. Allh takes away the coverings (ekinnet) from our heartsand the seal on them. As a result, the person becomes men.

    It has been decreed in the Noble Qurn that whosoeverbecomes men will reach the Straight Path (Srt- Mstakm)(22/Hacc 54).

    At the end of the above-mentioned 7 stages, a holy allianceis established in the inner world of the servant.

    8. Allh reaches the (souls) heart of the one who has

    completed these 7 stages successfully (64/Tegbn 11).9. Allh turns our souls heart created as turned to Satan up to

    this day to Himself. As for our hearts turning to Allh: it is theprerequisite of reaching Paradise (50/Qf 32) and Allh (13/Ar-Rad 28).

    10. At this stage, Allah Teal opens up the breast of our soulto surrenders by slitting it (6/Al-Anm 125). He opens up a way

    from our breast to our heart so that the mercy, virtue and benedictions(salavt) coming down from Allh may attain our souls heart whenwe do zikir (when we recite the Name of Allh).

    11. The mercy, virtue and benedictions (Allhs Lights) beginto arrive at our (souls) heart through the way opened by Allh by Hisslitting our breast (39/Az-Zumar 22).

    12. Thus, the mercy (light, nr) reaching our souls heart aslong as we do zikir brings forth hushu (reverence, awe) therein(57/Al-Hadd 16).

    13. When we have become the owner of hushu (reverence,awe), upon the requirement prayer we have performed, Allhu ZlCell (Allh, the Owner of Majesty) absolutely shows us our murshid

    (2/Al-Baqarah 45), because we have reached hushu, that is, wehave obtained the authority to receive the answer of the special help(istiane) we have sought from Allh (1/Al-Ftihah 5).

    14. We reach the murshid whom Allh has shown us andrepent before him (25/Al-Furqn 70, 71).

    Only beginning from this point, we take action in order tofulfil the oaths we had given to Allah regarding our souls

    purification, our spirits reaching Allh and our physical bodys beinga servant to Allh. When we reach the murshid whom Allh hasshown us and repent in front of him by kneeling down before him(25/Al-Furqn 70), the spirit of the Imm of the Era takes placeover our head (40/Ghfir 15; 58/Al-Mujadilah 22). This spiritgives a low-reading desk as a gift to our spirit by taking him to hisdervish convent together with himself. And our spirit sets out towards

    Allh (78/An-Naba 39). The word of Belief (mn, Faith) is writteninto the souls heart of this disciple (murd) who has set out towardsAllh in order to reach Him and obtain His Good Pleasure on the dayon which he has repented (58/Al-Mujadilah 22). And the disciple

    becomes a believer (25/Al-Furqn- 70 and 49/Al-Hujurt 14).When he has become a believer, (as Allhs mercy reaches this soulsheart as long as he does zikir) the seal on his souls heart is pushed

    into the (souls) heart and prevents fcr, darknesses coming fromSatan from entering it (2/Al-Baqarah 257). This seal was going onkeeping closed the mercy door through which Allahs mercy wouldreach our souls heart (45/Al-Jthiyah 23). Now, because the wordof Belief is written therein, as this seal leaves the door when we dozikir the mercy, virtue and benedictions rush through the mercy door

    during zikir and illuminate our souls heart. They purify thedarknesses and the filthiness in our souls heart.

    Thus, the improving deeds, deeds that improve our soulsheart, our souls purification begins (25/Al-Furqn 70). And ourspirit sets out towards Allh.

    Parallely to the conveyance of Allhs commands by our

    murshid, the application of these commands ensures our purifying oursoul (s heart) through the seven stages. The stages of Emmre(12/Ysuf 53), Levvme (75/Al-Qiymah 2), Mlhme (91/Ash-Shams 8), Mutmainne (89/Al-Fajr 27, 13/Ar-Rad 28), Rdye(89/Al-Fajr 28), Mardyye (89/Al-Fajr 28), Tezkiye (35/Ftir 18). Throughout these 7 stages, our soul (s heart) is purified. At eachstage of purification, our spirit ascends to one heavenly floor on the

    Straight Path and by surpassing the seven roads (tark) binding theseven heavenly floors (65/At-Talq 12), the Straight Path, turns

    back to Allh, reaches him (6/Al-Anm 87, 88 and 35/Ftir 18).The spirit reaches Hidyet (Guidance), arrives in Allh (3/l-Imrn

    73, 6/Al-Anm 71, 2/Al-Baqarah 120). Together with thepurification of our soul (s heart), our spirit also reaches Allh andAllah Teal accepts us to His servanthood. And we deserve to enter

    Paradise (89/Al-Fajr 27, 28, 29, 30). So, the conditions of the firstorder have been completed.

    1) Our soul (s heart) has been purified (89/Al-Fajr 27, 28;35/Ftir 18).

    2) Our spirit has reached Allh (89/Al-Fajr 28; 35/Ftir 18).

    3) Hz. Allahu Zl Cell (Allah, the Owner of Majesty) hasaccepted us to His servanthood (89/Al-Fajr 29).

    All sahbe had fulfilled these conditions (39/Az-Zumar 17,18). Thus, we deserve to enter Paradise (89/Al-Fajr 30). Thefulfillment of the conditions of the first order (bottom level), thefulfillment of the orders related to the purification of the soul (sheart), the spirits arriving in Allh and the physical bodys being a

    servant to Allh make us a Friend of Allh (a Vel, a Saint) andensures us Paradise. But this does not provide us the worldlyhappiness, the Supreme Delight (Hazzul azm). It does notguarantee our being Islm (muslim). If we can carry out theconditions of the second order (top level), if we can surrender toAllh, only then we reach irshad (we become irshad) we becomeIslm and reach the infinite happiness.

    B. THE FULFILLMENT OF THE (TOPLEVEL) CONDITIONS (OF THE SECOND

    ORDER)Allhu Zl Cell Hz. has made an Invitation reaching up to

    irshad and ordered mankind to respond to (accept) this Invitation ofHis (2/Al-Baqarah 186; 42/Ash-Shra 47).

    To be irshad is possible only through our souls heart beingembellished, its ugliness (its vices) being changed into beauties andthus being ornated [through the fact that the good qualities of our

    spirit can replace the vices of our soul (s heart)] (49/Al-Hujurt 7).The darknesses in our souls heart represent the vices of our

    soul (s heart), whereas the lights represent the good qualities(haslets) of our spirit. The fact that our (souls) heart consists only ofmercy, light and luminousness through the mercy coming down fromAllh is the state of our (souls) heart being embellished, ornated. Thesaint who has attained to this state is named the one who has become

    irshad in the sense of one who has completely reached theluminousness, the Light.

    In which case, all the darknesses (vices) that spoil the contenthave been annihilated and only the virtues have remained in a soulwho possesses a heart completely illuminated where all the vices ofthe soul have vanished and all the good qualities of the spirit have

    settled down in place of them. Henceforth, that spirit has become pureand unmixed.

    As for such a spirit: He has surrendered to Allh and becomemuhlis (utterly pure) [98/Al-Bayyinah 5]. This is why this stage iscalled the stage of Ihls (utter Purity). And this indicates that oursoul, the third trust, has been also delivered to Allh. We see that all

    sahbe had passed through these stages, become irshad and thuscompleted their four surrenders. Allh has ordered us to surrender ourthree bodies to Allh and our free wills and thus to become Islm[39/Az-Zumar 54; 4/An-Nis 58; 2/Al-Baqarah 208]. And allsahbe had surrendered their three bodies and their free wills toAllh.

    1. Their spirits [39/Az-Zumar 18; 3/l-Imrn 20]

    2. Their physical bodies [3/l-Imrn 20]3. Their souls [2/Al-Baqarah 136]

    4. Their free wills [2/Al-Baqarah 136, 9/At-Taubah 100]

    All the faithful of all the religions know that all the prophetsof Allh charged with the duty of expounding the Holy Scriptures ofAllh and those who had depended on them had obtained the greatest

    rewards of Allh by surrendering to Him with their three bodies andtheir free wills.

    C. WHAT IS SUFISM (TASAVVUF)?WHAT IS ISLM?

    In fact, it is not at all important whether the word ofTasavvuf stems from the dwellers of the hall (shed) [Ehl-i Sufa]according to the outer appearances or from the word of sof (wool)as they had put on woolen clothes in the Age of our Master theProphet.

    But there are certain things considered as very important:

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    29/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    XXVII

    1. Tasavvuf (Sufism) is to act with the whole of the NobleQurn. It is to act not only with the verses concerning our physical

    body but also with the verses laying tasks on our soul and spirit, too.

    2. Tasavvuf (Sufism) is to live that which our Master theProphet and his Companions (sahabe) had lived. The life that all the

    prophets and their dependants had lived was also Tasavvuf

    (Sufism).3. Tasavvuf (Sufism) is to surrender to Allh our trusts (the

    spirit, the physical body, the soul and the free will) that He hasconfided to us. It is to reach irshad, which is to be Islm.

    The first content of the word of Islm is to believe in OneAllah, its second content is the surrender (teslim, submission), itsthird content is peace and quietness (tranquility, serenity). Whoever

    has attained to the honor of becoming Islm has reached the infinitehappiness in three respects.

    1. As all the good qualities of the spirit are transferred to thesoul in the inner world, man has reached peace and tranquility,

    because there is not any more state of conflict between the spirit andthe soul.

    2. Man has reached peace and tranquility in his relations withthe outer world, that is, with other people, because there are not anymore vices so that there may be conflicts with them.

    3. The best relations have been established with Allah Teal.Each order of our Exalted Lord has been fulfilled and each

    prohibition avoided. Henceforth, the virtues that the soul haspossessed (that is, the good qualities of the spirit) feel a strong desire

    to execute the divine orders and never commit the prohibitions,because all the vices demanding to commit them have vanished.

    It has been thus seen that Islm is a phase to be reached inorder that an infinite happiness, a supreme delight, (hazzul azm)should come into being.

    Allh loves mankind the most as He has created everythingapart from mankind for man [45/Al-Jthiyah 13]. The fact that He

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    30/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    XXVIII

    wishes His creature He loves the most to be happy is perfectly put inits proper place. For this reason, Allh orders man to reach irshad[2/Al-Baqarah 186, 42/Ash-Shra 47]. Because only the personwho has reached irshad has attained to Islm, consequently to aninfinite happiness. He has attained to the last rank of being a perfectman (Insn- Kmil). He has been a perfect man from the point ofview of happiness.

    1. Extinction (the spirits surrendering to Allh) [Fen]

    2. Everlastingness [Bek]

    3. Asceticism [Zuhd]

    4. Surrender [Teslim] [the physical bodys surrendering toAllh, being a muhsin (good-doer).

    5. lul Elbb (the owners of continuous zikir, consequentlyof the treasures of the divine secrets).

    6. Ihls (utter Purity). These stages of Sainthood have beencompleted.

    The second and real content of being a perfect man is theability to be able to lead (men) to irshad.

    This ability does not exist in man as he is merely of theopinion that he possesses it.

    To be able to be a murshid is only realized through his beinginvited to the Irrevocable Repentance (Tvbe-i Nash) [66/At-Tahrm-8] by Allah Teal after his having reached Ihls (utter

    purity) and through the fact that our Exalted Lord communicates tohim that he has reached Salh (Improvement). And those whose eye

    of the inner heart is open see the Light of Improvement (halo) overhis head [66/At-Tahrm 8].

    It should not be forgotten that the continuous zikir (zikr-idim) is essential during the three stages beginning from the stage ofll Elbb (the owners of the treasures of the Divine Secrets) [3/l-Imrn 190, 191]. But at the stage of Salh (Improvement) zikr-i

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    31/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    XXIX

    kull (the total zikir) (all the organs of the bodys repeating the nameof Allh ceaselessly) is essential.

    7. Thus, the stage of Salh (7. stage) is formed. At the firsttwo of the three ranks of Salh (Improvement) the connection of thefree will to the Will of Allh and then its removal are experienced.And at the last rank of Salh, Allh takes only one personage under

    His disposal in each Era.It has been seen that not only the fulfillment of the duties

    related to our physical body but also to our soul and spirit has beenmade obligatory upon us. As for this: it is to depend on the whole ofthe Book (the Qurn) in respect of the relations between Allh andthe servant [3/l-Imrn 119]. From this standpoint, to depend onthe entirety of the Book is to depend on the whole of the Noble

    Qurn. As for being Islm, as we have seen it, it can be realized onlyin depending on the whole of the Noble Qurn.

    To depend on the whole of the Book is to surrender to Allhthe spirit, the physical body, the soul and the free will, these fourtrusts granted to us. As for the process of delivering these 4 trusts toAllh: it is Tasavvuf (Sufism). It is the level reached by our Masterthe Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions (sahabe), the life lived by

    them. It is to attain to the honor of being Islm. Tasavvuf is tosurrender to Allh, to live Islm, Islm in the Qurn. Tasavvuf isto put Islm into practise.

    Therefore, Islm = Tasavvuf(Sufism).

    Allh has made irshad obligatory upon us [2/Al-Baqarah 186; 42/Ash-Shra 47]; Irshad is the surrender of the three bodies

    and the free will to Allh, is to be Islm, is Tasavvuf (Sufism).The Surrender (Teslim) is a prescription (farz).

    Islm is a prescription.

    Therefore, Tasavvuf also is a prescription.

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    32/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    XXX

    D. TASAVVUF IS A PRESCRIPTIONIn that case, Tasavvuf is not a superfluous activity requiring a

    lot of fantasies beyond the indispensable 5 conditions deemedsufficient in our time, it is Islm itself.

    The five conditions of Islm do not suffice to save anyone.

    The five conditions of Islm are but a little part of that whichare ordered to be done.

    Furthermore, no one is authorized to consider some parts ofthe prescriptions as non-existent.

    As for the fact that the human beings who are in a greatconfusion all over the world nowadays may reach happiness: it will

    be only possible through their living Islm in the Qurn.

    While we are presenting this book for your consideration withthe wish for our reaching those days on which Allh will completeHis Light in the (souls) hearts of all the human beings, we offerinfinite thanks and praises to our Exalted Lord because of Hisallotting this service to us.

    1- THE CREATION OF THEUNIVERSE

    1-1- ADEM (NOTHINGNESS)We should have a look at the creation in order to see what the

    realities are. Let us begin from the start of the event: Before, onlyAllah existed. There was no other thing apart from Allah. There wasnothingness called Adem in the Glorious Qurn and named

    Space-Time by the Science of our time. Only Allah existed. Therewas no other thing besides Allah. We can formulate the fact in thisfashion. Allah willed to create. He created the energy calledneutrino by the Science of our time. This energy constitutes the

    basis of everything. Everything created by Allah Teal will turnback to its origin one day, that is to say, to Energy and then will beextinguished.

    55/Ar-Rahmn 26, 27:Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish. And the Face (Zt) ofYour Lord full of Majesty and Honor will remain forever.

    Everything on the earth is ephemeral, will perish. But theExistence of our Lord is everlasting, that is to say, He is in

    Nothingness (Adem), we say. He was in Nothingness before creatingnothing. He created everything and is still in Nothingness.

    1-2- THE CREATION OF THE ENERGYThe neutrino we call energy bears four spheres of energy

    pertaining to four separate Worlds. The Manifest World is the firstworld. The Intermediate World (lem-i Berzah) forms its opposite(counter). The Invisible World (lem-i Gayb) is the second world.The Intermediate world of the Invisible World forms its opposite(counter). Thus, beyond this Manifest World (lem-i zhir) wheremen have been living, there is a different world where the jinn have

    been living and we call it the Invisible (Unseen) World. Just as wehave souls and when we die, our souls go to the Intermediate World,so too go the souls of the jinn to their Intermediate World. AllahTeal created these four Worlds out of energy we call neutrino

    composed of four spheres of energy. The event is only this that theenergy turns into matter. This energy has been reaching all theparticles in the universe at any instant and turning back to its origin(source).

    34/Saba 2:He knows that which goes into the earth and that which comes

    forth from it, and that which descends from the heaven and thatwhich ascends to it and He is All-Compassionate, Forgiving.

    1-3- THE CREATION OF EVERYTHINGIN PAIRS

    Our Sustainer (Lord) has created everything in pairs. Just asthis being created by pairs is present in the essence of energy, so toois it valid for the Paradises and Hells. We have Paradises. We haveHells. The jinn also have paradises and hells. For this reason, AllahTeal speaks of Paradises and Hells in pairs. He has created separateParadises and Hells for humankind and jinn. How is it then that thereexist 7 worlds? Both we say that everything has been created in pairs

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    37/841

    CHAPTER - I

    5

    and we say that the numbers of the worlds are seven. How is is thatwe are speaking of seven worlds whereas Allah has createdeverything by pairs?

    Allah Teal has created six separate Worlds:

    1. The Manifest (Visible) World (Zhir lem)

    2. Its opposite (The Intermediate World) (Berzah lemi)

    3. The Invisible (Unseen) World

    4. Its opposite (The Indermediate World)

    5. The World of Command (Emr lemi)

    6. Its opposite (The World of Darkness)

    7. There is also a World we name Adem (Nothingness)All of them are 7 worlds.

    51/Adh-Dhriyt 49:And of everything We have created pairs, that you maydeliberate (the Grace of Allah).

    36/Y-Sn 36:Glory is to Him Who has created all the pairs of that which theearth produces, as well as of their own souls (humankind), and ofthat which they do not know.

    Allah Zul Cell Hz., has used the term ezvce [by (in)pairs or the pairs]. Ezvce includes both zevc (male, husband) andzevce (female, wife) together. Male and female, husband and wifeconstitute a pair (a couple).

    But the term used by our Exalted Lord is zevceyn in the49th verse of Zriyt Sura. They are both male and female; husbandand wife, ( plus and minus, positive and negative) and theircounterparts. Out of these, we can see male and female, husband andwife as they belong to the Manifest (visible) World. But we cannotsee their counterparts, their souls (that are found in the physical

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    38/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    6

    bodies of the males and females, of the husbands and wives). Becausethey do not belong to this (manifest) World. Thus, the Quran speaksof 4 beings two of which belong to the Manifest World and two ofwhich belong to the counter-world (Opposite World). That is to say: 2

    pairs.

    Now, an electron with right spin and an electron with left spin

    express a male and a female, a counter-electron with right spin and acounter-electron with left spin express the opposites of 2 electrons notbelonging to this world. As you know it, the 4 factors of theFormation (of beings) are enumerated in the ancient books like this:water, air, earth (soil) and fire. The names given to them in our time

    point naturally to the subtleties of our contemporary physics. Whenthey say earth, we understand solid substances (matters). When

    they say water, we understand fluids. When they say air, weunderstand gases. When they say fire, we understand energy.

    Thus, the 4 fundamental factors are put in their proper placewith the real statements of our time. What had been said then wasright and what has been saying now is right. Of course, the One whocreated these 4 factors is Allah Teal. He constitutes all these out ofenergy. The name that the physics of our time gives to this energy is

    neutrino.Two created neutrinos with opposite spins and two counter-

    neutrinos produce 2 electrons and 2 counter-electrons that are themost minute material units of the Manifest World.

    Our Exalted Lord constitutes two pairs, the positrons andcounter-positrons of the Invisible World that are the most minutematerial units out of 2 anti-neutrinos with opposite spins and 2counter-anti-neutrinos. As it has been understood from here,neutrinos with opposite spins, counter-neutrinos and anti-neutrinos,counter anti-neutrinos are always in pairs as they have been created

    by pairs. It is not possible to speak of a single neutrino. A neutrinowith left spin and a neutrino with right spin constitute a pair; in thesame way, a counter-neutrino with right spin and a counter-neutrinowith left spin form a pair.

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    39/841

    CHAPTER - I

    7

    On the other hand, an anti-neutrino with right spin and ananti-neutrino with left spin form a pair, in the same way, a counteranti-neutrino with right spin and a counter anti-neutrino with left spinconstitute an other pair. Thus, pairs of neutrinos with opposite spinsformed in the World of Command (lem-i Emr) come and go back in

    pairs. Owing to the creation of everything in pairs and to the fact thateach world is made to subsist with its opposite in its own world, thatis to say, is equilibrated, it is necessary for the spheres of energy

    belonging to the 4 worlds to assemble so that the neutrinos can beconstituted.

    Two properties like being created in pairs and the oppositesbeing together explain why two pairs of neutrinos and counter-neutrinos and anti-neutrinos and counter-antineutrinos, come into

    each World being with left and right spins, because we have alreadyindicated it, only neutrino paired with counter neutrino, anti-neutrinopaired with counter anti-neutrino, they can enter into action together.

    1-4- THE FORMATION OF THE ATOM

    AND THE ELEMENTSWe live in our own World, that is to say, in the Manifest

    (Visible) World. In this world, Allah Teal created at first theelectrons and counter-electrons whereas He created firstly positronsand counter-positrons in the Invisible (Unseen) World. Afterwards,He created neutrons and protons out of these electrons and counter-

    electrons. He created anti-neutrons and anti-protons out of thepositrons and counter-positrons. According to the Laws of Hunnesand Kunnes, He constituted the atomic structure of the ManifestWorld out of the electrons, protons and neutrons whereas He formedthe atomic structure of the Invisible (Unseen) World out of positrons,anti-protons and anti-neutrons. He brought forth gas molecules byuniting atoms with each others and the elements by gathering together

    40/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    8

    various amounts of atoms in the Mannifest World and in the InvisibleWorld. Every kinds of matters existing in the universe are composedof atoms.

    81/At-Takwr 15, 16:I swear by the Hunnes (the nucleus in the center) and theKunnes [that which revolves (rotates) round it (electron)]

    The atom formed of 1 proton in the center and of 1surrounding electron is the hydrogen atom. The hydrogen atomconstitutes the initial element of the Manifest World. Later, deuteriumcomposed of two atoms, trillium composed of 3 atoms, then heliumcomposed of more atoms and in turn other elements have beenformed. Allah Teal has been forming gases and solid matters out ofthese atoms.

    The fact that the Divine Throne of Allah Zul Cell Hz. wasformerly on Water is indicated in the Noble Quran by OurSustainer.

    11/Hd 7:

    And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth in sixDays (Periods) and His Throne was on the water, that Hemight try (test) you, which of you is the best in deeds. But if youwere to say to them: You shall indeed be raised up after death,those who disbelieve would say: This is nothing but obviousmagic.

    In fact, we see that the molecules of hydrogen and the atomof oxygen constitute the water. Allah Teal forms gases, fluids, thensolids by bringing into being new elements. At the beginning of theevent, we see the atom and the hydrogen. The molecule of hydrogenand later other gases have been created successively. Afterwards,through the augmentation of molecules and elements, liquid and solid

    41/841

    CHAPTER - I

    9

    matter have been constituted by Allah Teal. The universe emergesin this fashion, becomes manifest.

    1-5- THE CREATION OF EVERY

    LIVING BEING OUT OF WATERAllah Teal declares that every living being has been created

    out of water.

    21/Al-Anbiy 30:And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not

    then believe?To the chain of life beginning from amoebas with single cells

    living in the seas new species of living beings living in the water andcomposed of a great many cells have been added subsequently. Thesehave been constituting various kinds of species of living creaturesliving in the water.

    Our Sustainer decrees in the Glorious Quran:

    24/An-Nr 45:Allah has created every moving (living) creature from water. Ofthem there are some that creep on their bellies, and some thatwalk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates whatHe wills. Verily Allah is able to do all things.

    It has been seen that Our Exalted Lord has caused the life thathad begun in the water to leap (scatter) to the land after havingcreated various species of animals living in the water in the course oftime. The above mentioned verse explains to us in the best fashionthat the life starting with the living beings living in the water (sea)and jumping later to the land has brought about in the end various

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    42/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    10

    kinds of animals living on land. It discloses particularly this: the factthat the final form of these species of living creatures are fourleggedexplains to us that there is a species of ape with four legs at the lastlink of the chain of creation continuing in the sea and on land. Weobserve that the chromosomes of the apes that are the species ofliving creatures created at the latest on land have been graduallyincreasing within a process of evolution.

    There are a series of varieties of apes from the species of apewith 19 pairs of chromosomes to the orangutan with 33 pairs ofchoromosomes. If man had been the continuation of these species ofapes as they conjecture it, he would have had 35 pairs ofchoromosomes. Whereas, man has only 23 pairs of choromosomes.Thus, it has become definite that it is not possible for man to spring

    up from the ape. We observe that the legs serving as hands havenever turned into real legs in all varieties of apes. While the apes thatwere created on Earth at the latest were continuing to live, one day,Allah Teal was creating the human being (man) not on Earth but inHis Divine Proximity (in Ind-i Ilh). Adam (PBUH) and our MotherEve were not created on Earth. They were made to get down in thisworld.

    2/Al-Baqarah 36:But the Shaitan (Satan) made them both slip from it, and causedthem to depart from that (state) in which they were and We said:Get you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On earth willbe a dwelling place for you and an enjoyment (manking usethereof) for a time.

    In which case, dried (sounding) clay of altered mud fromwhich man was created was not clay and mud of this world but that ofthe Divine Proximity. The Earth was the place where Adam woulddescend. Therefore, the Earth was created at a certain distance of theSun that would give it life. It was created in an elliptical orbit andwith a definite axial inclination. It was enveloped with a layer of

    CHAPTER - I

    11

    ozone, with Van Allen belts. The Earth has acquired a property apt toshelter this most valuable and valued creature named man ofAllah Teal (during billions or trillions of years).

    Later, the humankind was made to get down on the earthaccording to the above mentioned verse. Not only men but also jinnwere sent down on the earth. We do not share this planet named

    earth only we human beings. There are also the inhabitants of theInvisible World named jinn in the same coordinates. Although thecoordinates are the same, as the dimensions are separate, the structureis different, we cannot see them, they cannot see us either.

    If you are to look carefully at the atomic structure in thehuman cell, you will see that the preponderant component is theelectron, the electron with (-) electrical charge. If you could have

    looked at the atomic structure in the cell of a jinn, you would haveobserved that the jinn had been living in a system where the

    preponderant component is the positron, the positron with (+)electrical charge. All the atoms of the Manifest World are composedof the protons with (+) electrical charge in the center and of theelectrons with (-) electrical charge in the surroundings. Whereas, weobserve that there are anti-protons with (-) electrical charge in the

    center and positrons with (+) electrical charge having a diametricallyopposite structure to them in the surroundings in all the atoms of theInvisible (Unseen) World, the world of jinn. Consequently, while ourelectrons that are with (-) electrical charge contain the half part of thesystem we name matter in the whole world, counter-electrons with(+) electrical charge contain the other half part of this system.

    2- THE LAWS OF SPEED

    2-1- ENERGYMatter is formed of energy. What is energy from the point of

    view of its structure is still unknown to the scientists. When we speak

    of the laws of speed, the problem is based first of all on the structureof the matter. Three laws of speed are valid in the differences ofmatter and world. To be able to understand the difference of thematter is possible through knowing what the matter is, by knowingthe inner structure of the matter.

    As the matter is formed of energy, it is necessary to know thestructure of the energy and to depart from this foundation. The energythat brings forth the matter is a divine energy named neutrino. Itcomes from Allah. It comes from the original Source and constitutesall the creatures. The name of this Energy is Emir (Command,Affair). Allah Teal decrees in the 12th verse of Talak Sura:

    65/At-Talq 12:It is Allah Who has created seven heavens and of the earth thelike thereof (i.e. seven). His Command descends between them,that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and thatAllah surrounds all things in (His) Knowledge.

    This energy that is cited as Emir in the Glorious Quran andthat comes from Allah is named neutrino in the nuclear physics andchemistry of our time. Each neutrino is composed of four spheres ofenergy belonging to four separate worlds. They form two pairs ofspheres of energy. The primary spheres bring forth the outer energeticspheres whereas the secondary spheres the inner energetic spheres.Pair of primary spheres and pair of secondary spheres constanty

    produce energy. Energy forms matter in this fashion:

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    45/841

    CHAPTER - I

    13

    The primary and secondary energetic spheres of one pair ofneutrinos and of one pair of counter-neutrinos separate out from eachother and the primary sphere in the neutrino is united with thesecondary sphere of the neutrino and the secondary sphere of thecounter-neutrino. This unification is realized with the neutrinos withopposite spin and the neutrinos belonging to the counter-world. Outof the four groups of neutrinos, two electrons and two counter-electrons pertaining to the Manifest World are formed.

    While the first sphere of the primary group in the neutrino isrotating in the same direction with the first sphere of the secondarygroup before the energy was forming the matter, the first sphere ofthe primary group rotates in the opposite direction with the firstsphere of the secondary group in the electron after the energy has

    formed the matter, which causes the linear momentum to turn into anangular momentum.

    - The Manifest (Visible) World

    - The Opposite Manifest World

    - The Invisible (Unseen) World

    - The Opposite Unseen World

    Our Exalted Sustainer (Rabb) has created these four Worldsby the transformation of the energy into matter. How the energy hasproduced the matter and the photons are formed has been explained indetail in our book titled Matter, Energy and the Laws of Speed. It is

    possible to enter the subject of speed only when the structuralanalysis of the energy has been known.

    2-2- LAWS OF SPEEDThere are 3 laws of speed as

    - The Law of the inferior speed pertaining to the speedsbelow light speed.

  • 8/2/2019 Islam Happiness Sufism

    46/841

    ISLAM - HAPPINESS - SUFISM

    14

    - The Law of light speed

    - The law of the superior speed pertaining to the speedsbeyond the light speed.

    The determining and distinghuishing element of the laws ofspeed is the differences of worlds and the inner structure of thematter.

    2-2-1- THE LAW OF THE INFERIORSPEED AND THE ELECTRONSThere is only the law of the inferior speed that has been

    known on Earth. This law of speed put forward by Einstein is relatedto the kinetic energy and is valid only in the Manifest World. Whenan energy that will lend it speed is applied to a mass, the limit of thesuperior speed will surely be below the light speed. This law is basedon the supposition that there is only matter and there is only onesingle World. There is one single mass. The mass is that of thisworld. And it is in motion in this world (in its own world). In which

    case, if a mass is in motion in its own world, it is subject to the law ofthe inferior speed. This mass has a positive (+) weight in its ownworld. The mass is constituted of electrons. The electrons are thedominant components and belong to the original (actual, essential,asl) world (the Manifest World). As for the counter-electrons, theyare dependent components and they pertain to the Counter-World. Inthis case, the negative (-) weight of the counter-electrons pertaining to

    the Counter-World is the half of the positive (+) net weight of theelectrons pertaining to the Actual (Essential, Original, asl) World.This is named the law of half weights. And it is valid for eachWorld. Each particle can be observed in its own world. As for thecomponent (element) dependent on it, it belongs to the dependentworld, is observable within an interval of time of a billionth of asecond and than vanishes, that is to say, goes to its own world. In that

    case, the classical law of speed is only valid for the electrons that arethe foundation stones of this world.

    It is not necessary that the speed of the wave of De Brogliebelonging to a particle of matter should be the same with the speed ofthe particle. The relationship between these two speeds can be easilyexposed. If the wavelength of the wave of De Broglie is and its

    frequency is V, theW speed of this wave has been given with theequation (relationship) .vW = . Now, we know that therelationship betw
