| Kitap Tanıtımı | ´I can bear my own sorrows, but the sorrows arising from the calamities visiting Islam and Muslims have crushed me. I feel each blow delivered at the Muslim world to be delivered first at my own heart. That is why I have been so shaken. ´During my whole life-time of over eighty years, I have tasted nothing of the worldly pleasures. My life has passed on either battlefields or in prisons or other places of suffering. There has been no persecution which I have not tasted and no oppression which I have not suffered. I care for neither Paradise nor fear Hell. If I see the faith of all the Muslim nation secured, I will not care even burning in the flames of Hell. For while my body is burning, my heart will be as if in a rose garden. ´We, Muslims, who are students of the Qur´an, follow proof; we do not abandon proof in favour of blind obedience and imitation of the ´clergy´. Therefore, in the future, when reason, sicence and knowledge prevail, the Qur´an will gain ascendancy, which relies on proof and calls reason to confirm its pronouncements. ´If we are to display through our actions the perfections of the moral qualities of Islam and the truths of belief, without doubt, the followers of other so-called religious ways will enter Islam in whole communities. Some entire regions and states, even, on the earth will take refuge in Islam. ´God has two kinds of laws: one is the Shari´a, known by everybody, which is the group comprising God´s laws issuing from His Attribute of Speech and governin man´s ´religious´ life. The reward or punishment in following it or not usuall pertains to the afterlife. The other group of Divine laws comprise those governing man´s ´religious´ life. The reward or punishment in following it or not usually pertains to the afterlife. The other group of Divine laws comprise those governing creation and life as a whole, which issue from His Attribute of Will and are generally (but wrongly) called the ´laws of nature´. The reward or punismnet for them mostly pertains to this world. ´Be certain of this, that the highest aim of creation and its most sublime result is belief in God. The most exalted rank of humanity is the knowledge of God. The most radiant happiness and sweetest bounty for jinn and mankind is the love of God contained within the knowledge of God; the purest joy for the human spirit and the purest delight for man´s heart is the spiritual ecstasy contained within the love of God. Indeed, all true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties and unclouded pleasure are undoubtedly contained within the knowledge and love of God.´ (Arka Kapak) |
