Correct Understanding the Human and Islam

The Way Going to Allah

2009-01-19T01:12:00.000-08:00

The divine world is seen with the heart's eye, while the material world is seen with the head's eye. The way going to Allah passes through the heart. Heart is the representational existent in which all the conscious and unconscious spiritual events happen. It's existence is figurative.

True nature of spirit doesn't be known. So much knowledge hasn't been given about spirit by the Creator. It seems that as if the ways going to obtain the knowledges about spirit by the humans have been closed. The spiritual phenomena are very complex events effecting us down to our smallest cells, minor capillary vessels and most unimportant muscles of our body. It is continuing to be an unknowable subject the true nature of spirit, while the psychic events being induced by spirit can be known by using empirical methods. Why?

Because, the knowledges belonging to the divine world can not be obtained by using the knowledge obtaining methods of the material world... The method of "experiment", which is the modern sciences' knowledge obtaining method, works only on the material world. But it doesn't work on the spiritual world being timeless and spaceless.

HOW MUCH BELIEF, SO MUCH BENEFICENCE

The knowledges belonging to the spiritual world obtain only by self methods of this world. In fact, these knowledges don't be obtained, but are bestowed upon persons by way of the intuition and inspiration, by God. The password of this favor is "the belief". Everybody is informed about the spiritual world in the ratio of his belief.

"Belief" isn't such a visual and tactual thing. The degree of the belief of a human is in the ratio of obeying his God, by abandoning from his ego's desire and greediness. As long as the human obeys the will of Allah, in time, he begins to see everytihing with the divine light of Allah. Then, the knowledges belonging to the divine world begin to flow into this person's heart. As long as the human subjects to this divine system, wihich was endowed to us as a living system by Allahu taala, in other saying, as long as he goes away from his ego's demands and desires, he observes and learns so much thing from the realities of the divine world.

My very dear readers,

It is necessary to understand the heart very well, for arriving at the spiritual world.

The heart is a place where all the conscious and unconscious spiritual events happen in it.

All the feelings through the five senses; all the desires being the lusts of the flesh; all the judgments, discoveries being the products of intelligence; all the ideas, thoughts, concepts, opinions, intentions being the products of mind; all the emotions and excitements; angers, furies, fears, anxieties, arrogances, grudges, hatreds, envies, passions being the reactions of ego; the belief and inspiration being the divine proposals; blasphemy, discord and misgiving being the satanic suggestions; reminiscences being the yields of memory... All these happen in heart.

Sometimes, "heart" and "spirit" are used in the same meaning for the reason that the heart is a place where all the spiritual events appear in. In fact, these are different things.

HEART IS VARIABLE

Heart is very variable. It is as changeable as the moon.

Sometimes, sex hormones increase in body, lustful passions invade all the heart

Sometimes, he calms down, a calmness covers the heart, the feelings of mercy cover in it.

Somatimes, he loves a girl. He begins to think about his darling day-and-night. And this love has left no vacancy at his heart except his beloved.

And sometimes, some passions occupy the heart. Heart pulsates with the dreams of being the owner of the wealth, honour, position and dignity.

But, my dear readers, certainly the most satisfied moment of the heart is the moment in which person remembers his God and obeys to Him.

HEART IS THE FOCUS POINT OF EGO

My dear readers, I had said that "Heart is very changeable". For this reason, one must be owner of his heart very well.

The heart is a place where all the spiritual events happen. In a way, the heart is the focus point of our ego and personality. Because the heart is an arranger and an organizer of all the events and activities in our body. Our whole organs are under the command of our heart. Our heart is the manager and director of our whole acts.

The behaviours of the human take shape according to the feelings and ideas in his heart. If which feelings and ideas are there in the heart in a certain time, the behaviours in accord with these feelings and ideas emerge from all the organs of body, in that time. The nearness of Allah also begins at the heart.

HEART IS A WINDOW OPENING TO THE DIVINE WORLD

As the heart is a place where all the spiritual events emerge, at the same time, it is a window opening to the divine world.

While the phenomena in the material world are observed and perceived with the head's eye, the phenomena in the divine world only can be observed and perceived with the heart's eye, from the window of the heart. For this reason, persons trying to perceive the divine phenomena with the head's eye, while their heart's eyes are blind, can not see anytihing, and they suppose absent them. Whenever heart's eyes of a man begin to see, then only then, he also begins to notices the spiritual realities.

A heart without belief is a dead heart. It does not see the divine realities. Whenever the belief's light begins to shine at heart, which had been mentioned from it in the former articles, then only then the heart also comes to life again, and begins to notice the divine relatities bit by bit. As long as this belief's light increases, the flowing of the knowledges belonging to the spiritual world to the heart also accelerates. For that reason, being informed about the divine world is in the ratio of the belief of person.

My dear readers,

The thing, killing the heart, blackening the heart's window, and preventing to be seen the divine realities by human is, actually, the endless desire and graspingness of ego. In a windy weather, the pieces of dust floating through the air make dirty the glasses of our windows and we can't see the outside clearly. Like this, the greediness and desires of ego make dirty the glasses of the heart's window and prevents to be seen the divine world. How the heart remembers its god, Allah, while it is completely full with the demands and desires of ego, and the imaginations belonging to them.

ONE MUST FIRSTLY CLEAN THE WAYS GOING TO ALLAH

My very dear readers, the way going to Allah passes through the heart. When the heart has been full with the world's greeds, with the passions, and with the endless wishes and desires of ego, this way closes and Allahu taala become doesn't be remembered. For this reason, if a person wants to be near to his God, firstly he must remove this world's love and the world's passions from his heart. This becomes possible by means of "the repent for sins", "the zikr" (to remember Allah, always), "riyazaat" (to avoid Islamic forbiddens) and "mujahada" (to worship). Turning back again to Allahu taala by repenting, provides to see once again the realities of the divine world by cleaning the heart's window.

The repentance is the first step for the heart's invigoration. The repentance is remorse. Sincerely being felt remorse by person by being noticed his sins is enough for the repentance. An other thing isn't necessary for this. Almighty Allah knows all the thing occurred in the heart, He is aware of all thing.

The Start of the Nearness to Allah (2)

2009-01-19T01:10:00.000-08:00

FROM THE IMITATED BELIEF TO THE RATIONAL BELIEF

My precious readers,

I had said that "After beginning to shine the belief's light in heart, the doors of the heart become open to the divine knowledges, the divine recommendation and advices"

As a matter of fact, after beginning to shine this belief's light at his heart, a person be more enthusiastic for the divine knowledges which have been brought by Prophets. Beforehand while he thinks them as cock and bull stories faked up by the human imagination; after belief, his perspective and viewpoint changes. Man notices that they are not invented stories; they are completely true, and every divine rule being obeyed carries away a man to unlimited goodnesses. This also take him to a new process where he tries to obtain a thorough knowledge on Islam and tries to value these knowledges in the scales of wisdom.

This is the rational belief stage. The rational belief is a stage that person tries to interpret the acts of Allah by using his wisdom, by enquiring and by investigating the religious knowledges. Man is more near to his Creator in this stage than being in the imitated belief stage.

FROM THE RATIONAL BELIEF TO THE REAL BELIEF

But, after a certain duration, person will immediately notice that he doesn't explain everything by using his wisdom. Because, wisdom is a mechanism that works only on tangible realities. It works only by using the senses, images, imagines, ideas and consepts obtained from matter, whereas the divine realities are completely different from the material realities. The divine realities are spaceless and timeless. The words using for stating the divine realities are also representational statements. These realities can not be undestood by sense and wisdom. To try understanding the divine realities by using methods of the material realities is, so to say, similar to try understanding the vapour by investigating an ice bar; whereas, vapour and ice are the things that they are endued with the completely different constructions. The rules, which they are subject to, are completely different. True knowledges can be obtained only if every construction are been investigated by their own rules and canons.

The place we stand now is the exhaustion point of wisdom for believer. Because, on the one hand, person comes face to face with some events confirming the divine realities and these power his belief; on the otherhand, some events appear that these can not be accepted easily by wisdom, and these cause him to fall into hesitations.

The real face of the belief emerges in the heart of the person when it has been passed to the spiritual dimension providentially by climbing over the enquiry (by wisdom) phase. Certainly, this doesn't be so easy. For passing to this dimension, usually, it is necessary the helps of the persons called awliya (saints). But Allahu taala also predestinates this dimension to some person He likes, without taking any help.

In this phase, the divine (spiritual) realities begin to appear in such a way that more transparent, more explicit, as clear as crystal in man's imagination. At the time, the believer begins to see the divine (spiritual) realities as clear and doubtlessly as in the material realities. This final phase which the believer comes to, be named as the witnessing phase, is the peak point of the belief. Nobody can turn back such a man from his belief, hereafter.

The peak point of the belief is also the peak point of the nearness of Allah, in the same time.

IT IS NOT SO EASY TO REACH THE REAL BELIEF

My dear readers,

Certainly, to reach a real belief is not so easy and is also not an event being quickly. And also, it doesn't be vouchsafed to everybody.

The start of this process, as mentioned above, is the moment in which begins to shine the belief's light in heart with the word "Lailahe illallah - There is no God, but Allah". The belief process which has begun in this way, reachs to peak by developing with the various Riyazat (means to avoid Islamic forbiddens) and Mücahada (means to worship), and with the different ego cleaning activities such as zikr (means to remember Allah). But the principle of the act never changes, this is to increase the belief's light in heart, namely, to increase the love of Allah, Muhabbetullah, in heart.

When a person is acquainted with a new good man, how his attachment to him increases in his heart as long as he sees his good behaviour; in the same way, as long as increases the belief's light in the believer's heart, namely as long as increases the love towards his God, the nearness of his Creator, also, increases. It is called as "kurbet". Kurbet means nearness and approaching. Also the acts which approach to Allah are named as "kurbet".

In these articles, i am trying to tell what means the nearness to Allah and what the ways and methods of this, without going into detail and without missing out the essence in a lot of argumentative knowledges. The details can be learn from the "ilmihal"s, the books explaining the principles of Islam. My purpose is to tell you the main prenciples being near to Allah. I am expecting to achieve this by the helps of Allah.

I wish Allahu taala makes me and you successfull on our beneficial acts, inshaallah. And almighty Allah cleans our hearts from the useless and unnecessary things, and He increases his own love (Muhabbetullah) at our hearts, and He makes me and you from persons close to himself, inshaallah.

The Start of the Nearness to Allah (1)

2009-01-19T01:00:00.000-08:00

My precious readers,

The start of the nearness to Allah is certainly the start of the belief.

The respectable erudite Imami Rabbanî states at his work named "Mektubat" that, when a person said "Lailahe illallah - There is no God, but Allah" by knowing its meaning, a mote of the belief emerges in his heart.

This instant in which a mote of the belief emerged in heart is a very much important and very much valued moment.

How, for a narcotic addict, the moment in which he took the first drugs, is the start of all the unexpected troubles and all the malignancies that will bring him to death; likewise, for a believer, the moment which a mote of the belief emerged in heart, is the start of all the goodness to bring him a true belief and to open him the door of a perpetual happiness.

After emerging of this belief as little as a mote, the light of the belief begins to shine in heart. The thing named the belief's light is the love and attachment to Allah, in the fact.

It is talking at Qur'an about increasing and decreasing of the belief. The meaning in here is figurative. A man either belives or not. There is not middle of this. In short, the belief doesn't increase and decrease. The thing increasing and decreasing is the light of the belief; in other words, is the nearness to Allah, is the love of Allah (Muhabbetullah)

THE SOURCE OF ALL GOODNESS

This belief fact and this love of Allah in a heart is the main source of all the benefits and goodness, and also the nearness to Allah.

This love emerging in heart towards Allah, towards the believers and lovers Him after believing, is the light of the heart, and is the start of the every maturity and all the goodnesses. After shining this belief's light in the heart, amazing and shocking alterations occur at behaviours of that man.

I compare this case to the case of a fanatic beginning to support a new football team.
After he has begun to support this new team, a love emerges to the captain of team, players, and fans of this new team in his heart. He goes to all matches of this new team. He follows all news about this new team. Similarly, a love emerges towards Allahu taala, towards all His prophets and whole muslims, in the heart of a person who has newly begun to believe.

Every thing changes after emerging this belief phenomenon and this love in heart. That person begins to listen to every thing coming from his God and tries to internalize them. He begins to research the realities of the rumours.

After beginning to shine this belief's light in heart, the doors of the heart become open to the divine knowledges, to the divine recommendation and advices, and to the divine advances.

BEFORE AND AFTER BELIEVING

While person tries, beforehand, to change the subject by being bored of being talked about Allah as if it is being talked about a simple thing; after this a mote of belief, person is all ears when talked about his God, and tries to be a more respectful and a more decent man towards his god, Allah.

Beforehand, while a lot of exemplary events happen around him and he doesn't draw a lesson from any one of these; after believing, he begins to value them from a different point and to hold up as an example of those.

Before belief, when anybody wants to caution him about any subject, he doesn't give ear to these and he is angry at these advises by reason of his arrogance. But after believing, he begins to be all ears for these advices and cautions.

These changes emerged after believing and beginning to shine the belief's light in a person's heart are countless.

The reason of these changes is closely connected with whether a man be subject to his ego's desires or he is subject to his own God's wills.

After belief, a man begins also to take the Allah's wills into consideration near his own ego's desires at all works he did. So, he is gone into the education of his God.
In other words, the Rabb attribution (Rabb means educator in Arabic) of Allah begins to appear on that man.

My dear readers, this a mote of belief is so very much important for a man that person firstly accepts his God's will, by going beyond his own weak and impotent existence and by climbing over his own ego. When he says "Lailahe illallah - There is no God, but Allah" by accepting it's meaning, person begins firstly to be subject to Allah's will, by abandoning his own ego's endless desires, one by one. It is called as "ibaadat". "Ibaadat" means to be servant, slave, to serve for Allah, in Arabic. In other words, this a mote of belief is the start to serve, to be slave for Allah, from the point of this person. In fact, not being a servant and a slave, but it is the start of the liberation and the salvation from the desires and wishes of ego, which they make person a despicable and dishonorable man at everywhere and every time. This "being slave for Allah" will slowly slowly take away him from the hegemony of his ego to the peak of the divine maturities, and will be the basis of the world and afterdeath happinesses. Man will appreciate this in time and will know increasingly the value of this, as long as complete his salvation from his ego, later.

My dear readers, this completing process is called as Islam. Islam is to submit and to be subjet to the will of almighty Allah, who is only one, He has not a partner, a cooperator, an assistant, and nothing is an equal and similar to Him; He has created all the thing (takwin) in certain measures (taqdir), has ordered, arranged and organized them at his will (tanzim), has programmed them (qadar), and He is realizing this programme when its time comes (Qazaa), and He is managing all the worlds at his will. Briefly, Islam is to obey the will of Allah, not his own will.

While a man be his own man and be subject to own low desires of his ego before belief; after belief, he begins willingly to be subjet to the will of his Creator. In fact, here, man doesn't renounce completely from his own desires and wishes, but he limits his desires with the boundaries established by Allah, and tries to not go beyond these boundaries.

(Some parts of the commands and forbiddens haven't been given here because they were given beforehand)

My dear brother, if you conform to these golden rules, you be from those are happy and calm, and from those are enviable at the world and the afterlife. Don't forget, choice is under your volition. There is no sanction except "shame on you!" for many of these. Also it has disappeared in these days. Frankly speaking, every thing has been leaved to your conscience. Try to do your preference aright. Don't think "what everybody says about". Don't forget, the consequence of faulty choice is frustration. The troubles of this world come and pass. Are the troubles of afterdeath such as those? The pains of the otherworld never resemble to this world's troubles.

If whichever person and group conforms to these rules, in the ratio of conforming, benefits from it at the world and the afterlife. If which person and grup doesn't conform, in the ratio of not conforming, lives its troubles. Allah taala has established his arrangement and organisation thus.

My precious brother, to able to conform to the wills of Allah taala mentioned above is possible only by loving Him. To love Him means to prefer His wills to own wills. "The belief" and "the God's love" are things in the heart. They are not seen with eye and not hold with hand. But there is also a sign of the God's love in the heart, as there is a sign of every thing existed in the heart, which reverberates to this appearing world. This is to conform and to be subject to His messenger.

Say: "If ye do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Qur'an, Al-İmran, 31)

He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah. (Qur'an, An-Nisaa, 80)

That means, to love Allah is only possible with obeying to His prophet.

I wish that, Allah, who possesses the endless mercy and compassion, render us from those are precious and happy at both world, not render us from those are in disappointment.

Be trusted to Allah.

The Golden Rules of The Perpetual Happiness (Part 1)

2007-05-05T06:01:00.001-07:00

I try to explicate the human and Islam since my first article "Correct Understanding The Human". It should be well understood that the happiness of the human is at heightening to the fifth "divine schooling" dimension from the fourth "mind" dimension.

A lot of men search for the reasons of their happiness at the realization of their desires.

Whereas the desires of the ego are endless; trying continuously satisfying these desires of the ego is fit for nothing except making the human an insatiable monster who thinks nothing except his own self. To be searched for the happiness at satisfaction of the desires of his ego by human is with the reason of not enough knowing his self and his God. The soundness and peace of the human is at being subject to his Creator. The perpetual happiness of the human becomes fact only with his going into the circle of Islam, with his knowing his Creator and with his submission to His Creator's wills.

The creator (Allah taala) is equitable. He doesn't persecute anybody. He is the enemy of the cruels. He is the most gracious and most compassionate over all His creatures, and He is also a closest friend of the human.

If a person obeys to his Creator's wills, he comes face to face with beneficences, goodnesses and favors always. But if a person obeys to the rubbishy desires of his ego, he also encounters ever with troubles, botherations and difficulties. He can not escape from being in trouble. Everybody find the counterpart of that whatever he has done, in the world and the afterlife.

My honorable brother, don't be unaware of your God. This unawareness takes away you being destroyed at the world and hereafter. Try to remember your God and to behave according to your God's wills every moment. If you can't conform to all, at least, try to conform to majority of them. If a tribulation occures and you encounter with troubles, don't search for the reasons of these troubles at other places, search for them at your self behaviours, your self mistakes and faults. If you come face to face with various beneficences and favors, don't slide into arrogance with the reason of these benefactions which you don't know it is good or bad for you. Your mind and your attention must be on your God who is the true possession of these benefactions, but not on these favors. Be grateful for these favors to your God. If you behave suchlike, you be in the peace and soundness at the world and also hereafter.

The behaviours of the tactless persons present around you must not make you perplexed. Don't be mistaken looking the reasons, the means, and the powers of atrocious men. Giver and taker, booster and reducer is Allah taala. A feather can not move from its place without His volition. Every event has also a metaphysical reason as it possesses a phisycal reason. You can't see these metaphysical reasons before your belief becomes an absolute belief. See the consequences of the events, not only the fore.

My very dear brother, I had stated that "submission to the Creator's wills produces allways goodness, but to be subject to the own ego's desires engenders allways troubles." What our God wills from us?? These are all the 110 items as cumulative. I leave the belief essences out of these. Because the belief is the pith and marrow of the matter. Neither the divine schooling nor God's compassions and favors never become reality without the belief. For this reason, you must try firstly to correct your belief.

The Faith:

Our God's commandments relating to the belief principles are those;

01. Will be believed Allah, who is existent and the one
02. Will be believed His angels
03. Will be believed His all holy Books (Quran, Bible, Torah and others)
04. Will be believed His all prophets (including Mohammed aleyhissalam)
05. Will be believed the judgement day
06. Will be believed the Qaader (Everything occurs according to a divine program named Qaader; all good and bad things are created by Allah)

My dear brother,

These are the stipulations of the Islamic belief. A person doesn't become the believer without believing these. Don't attempt pondering with mind criterion on these belief essences. The mind is a weighing machine that it can measure only the physical world's values. It has not been created in power so that it can scale the metaphysical world's values. You have to accept these so how almighty Allah has notified to you. The base of the religion is not mind, but is transferred knowledges by prophets. To be subject to the mind by leaving these tranferred knowledges means, in fact, to be subject to desires of the ego and to build a new religion according to ego.

The others except the belief principles are given below. Don't forget; these are the golden rules of the universal and perpetual happiness. Who conform to these rules, they win the salvation. Also those not being subject to them live its troubles at the world and the afterlife. Don't suppose that it doesn't be given an account for you did. The poetic justice calls you to account for everything on the judgement day. Take a glance at these rules every day. Every day, try to increase the number of those you could conform. Apologize from your God for those you couldn't conform, and be from the persons trying to not doing once again. Especially, try to staying away from deadly sin. To commit these sins is destruction of the human. Repent also for sins that you had committed until now. Your God possesses the endless mercy.

Our God's commandments relating to the worship principles are those;

01. Will be declared the faith that present in our heart with repetition of the shahada. (Shahada is the Islamic profession of faith, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger”)
02. Salat (the daily ritual prayer) will be performed at five times each day in certain times.
03. Will be fasted everyday during the month of Ramadan.
04. Will be given zakat if one possesses the commercial goods so much as "nisab". ("Nisab" is a richness measure in Islam; it's value is equal to 96 gram gold for merchandises)
05. Every able-bodied and rich person will make the Hajj one time in his life.

At some Islamic literature, it is said that these are the stipulations of Islam. If these were stipulations, it was necessary to go out Islam when these had been left. But a person doesn't go out Islam without to lose his belief. These are the pillars of Islam. A man destroys his religion if he leaves these. For this reason, don't consider that no one of them is unimportant, my dear brother.

The Cardinal Sins:

The following actions are the acts forbidden by Allah taala, that each one of them is deadly sin. Must be shrinked away from these. If commit, must repent, must appeal for mercy; if present, must be paid its redemption; and must not been committed exactly again.

01. Will not be appointed the partners to Allah taala. (He is only one God)
02. Will not be killed a man unjustly. (To commit suicide is same)
03. Will not be fornicated.
04. Will not be been disobedient against his parents.
05. Will not be run off from enemy at a war being done for Allah.
06. Will not be brought an adultery accusation against a chaste woman.
07. Will not be borne falsely witness.
08. Will not be perjured oneself.
09. Will not be unjustly used the properties of an orphan.
10. Will not be done magic.
11. Will not be lent and borrowed at interest.
12. Will not be done theft.
13. Will not be drunk alcoholic drinks.
14. Will not be been homosexual.
15. Will not be persisted on a little sin.
16. Will not be been certain of the torment of Allah.
17. Will not be been hopeless of the mercy of Allah.
18. Will not be committed a sin in the Harem-i Kaaba
19. A word will not be attributed to the Prophet, that has not been said by Him.

The givens above are notified as the deadly sins at various Islamic source books.

(Now some media presents these deadly sins to the humans such as they are normal and simple events. The believers must not be deceived, and must stay away from these sins.)

How is been Muslim?

2007-05-05T05:56:00.000-07:00

I had constantly remarked in my articles that Islam is to accept entering His divine schooling by submitting to Allah's will. Those who have adopted this divine schooling have arrived to the peaks of the maturities, since being created the first human. And so, they have possession of a perpetual happiness. But those who have preferred to subject to the rubbishy desires of their ego, by not recognizing this, could not escape from the world and hereafter troubles. They have also put to inconveniences always the humans at his arround, as they were in troubles themselves.

For entering Islam namely to be Muslim, certainly, it is necessary firstly to believe a unique creator Allah (God) that He has created all the matters and meanings worlds, and He has possession of the rule and providence on all things which being created by Him; He keeps them in existence by supplying their needs; He has not a match, a partner, a similar and an assistant; He treats well with mercy and justice to His creatures every time; He is free from all defects; and He has possession the endless powers and forces.

Also, it is necessary to believe all His prophets (including Mohammed aleyhissalam) and their notifications, which they have been sent to provide attaining to a perpetual happiness of the humans, by making passed them through a divine schooling.

The last shackle of these prophets chain is Mohammed aleyhissalam. Mohammed aleyhissalam has notified the rules that both to correct the false comments coming out at previous times, and to keep its currency along all times for maturing all the humans eternally, by the last Book that was been revealed to Him.

Everybody be Muslim believing in this wise and declaring his belief with the words "Lailahe illallah, Mohammeden rasulullah" "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His prophet". This declaration of faith is called the Shahada. This oral declaration is important in viewpoint of the law and procedures. In fact, the essential is the belief.

It is necessary to believe also Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Noah aleyhissalam and all other prophets, and their notifications. All of them were the most selected creatures of God. All of them have also been sent to point the correct living wise. It is necessary to regard and to be grateful to all of them. It is much wrong to divinize the prophets that they were a human such as we; it is never admissible before Allah. Allah is the only one God.

"Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed." (Qur'an, An-Nisáa, 48)

"They say: 'Allah hath begotten a son!' - Glory be to Him! He is Self- Sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! Say ye about Allah what ye know not?" (Qur'an, Yunus, 68)

"Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (Qur'an, ikhlas, 1-4)

Never must be hesitant in the matter of "The One God".

"No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah. (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!" (Qur'an, muminun, 91)

The fundamental of Islam is "The One God" belief that is stated "There is no God, but Allah" words.

To be Muslim is very easy. It is not necessary to apply to any place and to do any ceremony for this. It is not necessary also a special place and a special time. Every place of universe is suitable to be Muslim, to live Islam, and to do worship to God. It is enough to be clean.

Cleaning of the surroundings, body and heart is the base of Islamic worships. The first step of the divine schooling after the belief is the cleanliness. (Cleanliness is from the Belief. Hadith) For this reason, one must be cleaned with ablution by washing his mouth, his nose and his whole body, after accepting to enter God's divine schooling with repetition of the shahada.

For the reason that the essence of Islam is submission to Allah taala's volition, one must start to his every work with Allah taala's name by reciting "besmele", and he must intend to do any work for the contentedness of Allah taala.

(Besmele is to recite "Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahim" "In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful")

My dear brother,

A person firstly must learn the essences of Islamic belief, after being Muslim by saying the shahada. The fundamental of Islam is "The One God" belief and a correct faith as I signify until now. Person must not try to learn Islamic knowledges by asking to any ordinary moslem at around him. He must learn Islam from the books written by ahl-i sunnah scholars. The correct faith is the belief notified at these books. We must correct our belief according to the true transferred knowledges at these books.

And later, learning the God's commands and forbiddens, he must try to perform these rules as far as he can do. I have given these commands and forbiddens in brief at my following article titled "The Gold Rules of the Perpetual Happiness". Person must learn these rules with all details from the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) books. If a man how much be sincere at his effort of learning and performing these rules, he completes his maturity and perfectivity at world so much quickly. He becomes selected, truthful, confidential, well-mannered, decent and a polite human. He is loved and regarded by everybody at everywhere.

A man who is sincere in his belief becomes also sincere in his works, in his says, in his friendships and in his loves. If a man be sincere in his belief and his works and tries to do the worship duties as far as he can do in his knowledges, Allah taala teachs him the things who doesn't know. "Allah teachs the things who doesn't know" means that He creates the needed reasons for his learning them.

Be trusted to Allah

Understanding Islam

2007-05-05T05:55:00.001-07:00

I had talked about the five existence dimensions of the human to you in my previous articles. The human gathers on himself all the physical and chemical features of the matters world in first dimension, all the physiological features of the plants world in second dimension, all the psychological features of the animals world in third dimension. He also gets a humanistic personality different from the other creatures with the thinking, deciding and adjudicating ability in fourth dimension.

Certainly the wonderful benefactions have been provided to himself until the human comes this level. Now, try to think only the physiological dimension. Thousands of chemicals perform their parts in this mechanism. Think to not do only one enzyme or only one hormone it's act. How distressed days human lives.

Try to remember the benefactions at your psychological dimension. Think to weaken your attention, to be absent your memory, or to lose your consciousness. Imagine that you are afflicted with mental deficiency. How bad case for you!

Now, think to be destroyed your mind benefaction. Everybody treat you like dirt, for you can not think and for you can not be possessed of the power of deciding and responsibility. You can not manage yourselves. You can not manage your wares and properties. Your relations with the society in which you live completely breakdown. You can not sign an agreement and a contract. You can not vote. Even, if you bring any information, nobody believes this news. This is how much bad case.

The human, here, in his first four dimensions, has attained measureless benefactions of his creator Almighty God (Allah) who has possession of mercy and compassion. But, I'm sorry to say, the majority of the humans are not aware of these benefactions.

My dear brother,

The Almighty Allah (God), who is the creator and the greatest conservator of the human, has equipped with such measureless benefactions the human up to fourth mind dimension. And He also wishes to complete His benefactions and favors on the human by carrying him to the vertex of the maturities for rendering him much more precious and excellent in fifth dimension after this point.

(Allah does not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favor to you, ... )(Qur'an, Maide, 6)

But these favors that will be realize after this phase has been rendered dependent on the own will of person. Namely, for this, it is necessary that person must abandon his own personality, his own arrogance, and his own egoism; and he must completely submit and subject to his creator's volition. This submission is called, briefly, as Islam.

I had tried to expound the human in the previous articles. In this article, I'll try to explicate Islam.

My dear brother,

Islam is an Arabic originated word and it means "submittal, to lay down one's arms". Its meaning as a religious term is submission and being subject to the volition of The Almighty Creator that He has not a match, a partner, a similar and an assistant; He has created the physical and metaphysical worlds; He keeps them in existence by supplying their needs; He provides necessary power, force and energy for them; He arranges and organizes them in wise which He wills; He renders present or absent every things who wills, at the time He wills; He is real owner the whole property and is only one sovereign on the worlds. Islam is to live according to the orders, the wishes, and the rules of this Almighty Creator, but not according to the wishes of person's own ego. Briefly, Islam is to live as Allah wills, but not as his own self desires.

Certainly, this is realized only by belief. Can it be under discussion to be subjected to God's volition, without believing and not being accepted His existence? For this reason, the religion erudites have accepted that the belief is the fundamental of the religion.

My precious brother,

Religions are the systems in which divine schooling becomes fact. Divine mercy turns into well behaviours in the personality of the human owing to religions. By means of the religions, the human gets a clean and mature divine personality, escaping from the bad and egoist humanistic personality.

The Almighty Creator sees proper the name Allah for Himself in His Last Book. This name gathers all nice attributes of Him on own self. For this reason, I'll prefer to use this name.

The Religion before Allah is Islam. (Qur'an, Al-i İmran, 19)

Islam is to appear the Rab (educator) nice attribute of Allah on the human. Allah taala has given Islam name for own schooling system that will bear away the human to the peaks of the maturities. Islam is a doctrine. It is the name of an educating and schooling system notifying by a prophets chain be ranging to Muhammed aleyhissalaam from Adam aleyhissalaam.

The essence of all the celestial religions is Islam, though there are some differences between their sharia. Islam is an ego educating system. Islam means to live a person according to The Almighty Creator's wills, but not his ego's wills. Islam means that submittal of the human to the rules of Allah by witnessing the existence of Allah taala who is the creator and pedagogue of him; to prefer the wishes of Allah rather than his own wishes; delimitating his own wishes by the wishes of Allah; not exceeding the limits being notified by Allah taala.

Islam means to be subject to His rules by beleiving only one Creator that He has not a match, a partner and a similars; He has created the universe and all the worlds; He holds them in existence; He provides all the needs of them by His mercy and His kindness. They are called as "Muslims" the persons who are subject to the rules of Allah taala in this wise. The Arabic originated word "Muslim" means "the submitted person to Allah".

The religion being notified by all the prophets since Adam aleyhissalaam is Islam.
Each one of the prophets did not bring different religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Mohammedanism that the majority of people such suppose; contrarily, all the prophets have notified only one religion Islam. The people has nicknamed afterward as Judaism, Christianity. All the prophets were Muslims. All of them were sent to introduce Allah Taala who has not a match, a partner and a similar; to teach to the people to behave according to the rules of Allah, but not according to the wishes of their ego; to point the correct way to them. All of them also baded to not kill the men unmeritedly; to not do harm the humans' body and goods; to not live intercourse out the marriage, namely to not fornicate. All of them also advised to love each other; to not do spitefulness; to not tell lies. Today, all merits being possessed by the humans, either prayerful or ateist, have arrived up to us by means of the prophets of Allah.

But it is existing that, each one of the profets brought partially different rules according to the conditicons of that time. The each one of these is called as sharia. The last prophet Mohammed aleyhissalaam has also notified the rules that both to correct the false comments coming out at previous times, and to keep its currency along all times for maturing all the humans eternally.

For this reason, a man finds the right by subjecting to a whichever prophet, on condition that he must subject to essence of religion. A person who subjects to previous sharia must take attention the abolishing rules by the following sharia. Subjecting to the last prophet Mohammed aleyhissalaam is also a completely maturity. It likes to prefer the latest model auto to arrive at the destination.

My dear brother,

I'll try also to tell you Islam at my latter articles. Islam is the perpetual happiness way of the human who is a precious creature. The walking men in this way attain the salvation both in this and the other world. But also somes turning aside by subjecting to their disdainful ego go heresy for own themselves harm.

Be trusted to Allah.

Understanding the Heart

2007-05-05T05:52:00.000-07:00

My precious brother,

I had talked about two faces of the big reality created by God (Allah), about Halk Alem (haalk aalam) and Emr Alem (emr aalam), in previous article. And I had stated that the human is a little world bearing the ingredients from both worlds.

The human is been constituted from two components as body and spirit. The first of these is from the Halk Alem, and represents the matter of the Human. The second is from the Emr Alem, and represents of the essence and the meaning of the Human.

The connection and the interaction between these two fragments are provided through the Heart. Implied meaning with the Heart word is not the meat part which placed in the middle left of the chest and pumping the blood to the body. It is the spiritual power representing by this organ. The soul or the conscience are also told to this. It is a representative and imaginary being.

The Heart is very important. The knowledges and images belonging to both worlds (The Halk and Emr Alems) are represented in the Heart. The impressions of all the somatic, physiological and psychological dimensions, which appear as joys and pains, and also all the products of the mind and moral dimensions are take place in the Heart. For this reason, this imaginary world occuring in the Heart has been named as "the Misal Alem" (the misaal aalam). Misal means instance or example. The Misal Alem is not a reality world such as The Halk and Emr Alems, but it is an imaginary wold, an images arena, be formed from the images of other two alems.

An example can be given from nowadays facts to able to better explain the case: Now, please think the human as a personal computer named PC. The body of the human is the mechanical part of PC named hardware. The spirit of the human also likes the programme named software. We can compares to the monitor the meat part named heart. And also we can think the Heart, which is representative of the spiritual values that we tries to explain since we start, such as the images appearing on the monitor.

When a defect or a perfection occurs on the mechanical part of PC (for example on monitor board, power supply or on keyboard), this reflects to the monitor completely. In the same way, the whole features of the programme, all the defects and perfections on it, reflect to the monitor completely. Like this, all the occurrences on our body and our spirit completely reflect to the Heart which is our soul window.

Such as managing through the monitor images every things controling by PC, also, our whole life is managed by our Heart. If the Heart is good, also the human is good. But if the Heart is bad, also the human is wicked.

The Heart is not only an imaginary world on which be represented the Halk and Emr Alems (the matter and meaning worlds), but it is an imaginary passage, a passing point, between both worlds, at the same time. The Heart is a window opening to the meaning world from the matters world. The human can not observe and perceive the occurrences on the Emr Alem (the spiritual world) without his heart window. For this reason, the humans, whose hearts are blackened with sins, suppose that there is not a Spiritual World, because they can not see it.
--------------
I had explained in previous article: The components of the Halk Alem are "the objects". This world is constituted from "objects", "cases" and "phenomenons". And it is a "volumed", "timed" and "measurable" world. But the Emr Alem is not so that. It is constituted a pleasant and spiritual things such as spirits. It is not "spaced" and "timed". The knowledges of this world, namely the Meaning World, can not be obtained with the methods, ways and techniques belonging to the Matters World. The knowledges belong to this world are obtained only through the Heart. The key of this is "Belief". If you approachs with computer example to this case, you can think the Belief as the password for arriving any programme. How you can not arrive the programme without a password, also, you can not arrive the knowledges of the Meaning World without the Belief.

I had told that, the heart is an imanginary arena where the knowledges of both world are represented there. The representation ratios of the knowledges of both worlds on this arena, depend on the Belief.

The Heart comes to life by the Belief. The Heart without Belief is a dead heart from the viewpoint of spirit, at that the knowledges and images belonging to the Matter World take place, only. The persons possessing such dead heart (by losing his "meaning"), that take place images only belong to the Matter World in, is named as "heartless" or "unconscientious". Such heartless persons can do every wickedness, due to thinking only his world life.

The revival of the Heart begins with believing. When appeared a belief and love as little as grain for his God in a person's heart, the password has been decoded and a passage has been opened to "the meaning world" in person's heart. After this, it begins to represent not only the knowledges belong to the Matters World, but the knowledges belong to the Meaning World, at the heart. Flowing this knowledges to the Heart is in ratio of person's belief. As the knowledges belong to the Matter World disturb the heart, the knowledges belong to the Meaning World relax the heart and give serenity to the heart. For this reason, the worldly persons, who possess a weak belief, are always uneasy, anxious and flurried. As long as their heart are refreshed by increasing their belief, a conspicuous quiet down seems on these persons.

The largest barricade in front of obtaining the knowledges belong to the Meaning World, by seeing through the heart window, are representations belong to the Matters World, resided in the heart. These are the curtains belong to the Matters World, in front of the Meaning World. If the human destroys one by one these materialistic curtains in the heart, by restricting the desires and ambitions of his ego, he gets possibility of seeing uncloudedly and clearly the things belonging to the Meaning World.

The process of destroying the representations belong to the Matters World situated in the heart is named "cleaning of ego". Cleaning of ego, means its extinction. A such man getting rid of his egoism begins to better understand every knowledge coming from his God. And he also better knows his God. The way going to the true Belief passes through this cleaning.

The Alems

2007-05-05T05:50:00.000-07:00

Hello my precious brother,

In my previous articles, I have tried to explain and to describe the human by analyzing in different dimensions. In fact, the human is a wonderful creature owning amazing properties beyond these expressions. But to able exhibit these properties of the human, it is necessary to well understand firstly the physical and metaphysical medium in which the human stands.

When look at in point of the human, it is seen that all the creatures created by God (Allah) form two big classes of beings: One is "The Halk Alem" (the haalk aalam), consists of visible beings, and other is "The Emr Alem" (the emr aalam), consists of invisible beings. There are numerous little units in these two big classes. As to the human, he is a different and little world who contains some things belong to both big classes.

"The Halk Alem" is also named "The Universe". It is the physical medium that surrounds the human. The most important feature of this class is to be "valuminous" and "timed", consequently, to be "measurable".

"Space" and "Time" concepts are concepts that they have emerged after being created "The Halk Alem" or "The Universe".

The physical world is a world that consists of "objects", "states" and "phenomenons". To be have three dimensions of the rigit objects and to occupy a volume in the space spontaneously caused developing a "space" concept in minds. Since the objects also takes a place in space, spontaneously, it is been also needed to use some words stating its positions such as "in front of", "behind", "above", "below" for explaining the case of an object according to another. It is also been spontaneously needed to use some qualifying words such as "big", "small", "high", "low", "heavy", "light" for expressing their sizes, because of possessing the different value of an object according to another. When asked the question "How much", it is been also spontaneously needed saying " big such as this", "far-off such as that", inventing a measure for these greatness. For this reason, you see that, this world is an "measurable" world.

An other feature of this "objects" world is that, the "cases" and "positions" of all objects always changes more or less, they are not stable. It is also been needed, spontaneously, to talk about "a changing case" namely a "phenomenon" or "event", when a difference appears at the properties such as position, volume, weight, color, taste of these objects.

When these events are also be investigated, it is been seen that, some phenomenons develops depend on some former phenomenons, even some phenomenons forms a series by coming into existence following one another, and thus a "determinism" concept has emerged. Also, some repeated events such as rising and setting of the sun caused to develop the "time" concept in minds spontaneously.

My precious brother,

Why am I explaining these with all details? I am explaining these detailedly for this purpose that, it is difficult for the most of the humans to understand being "spaceless" and "timeless" of Allah. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that "time", "space" and "measure" concepts are characteristic only for "The Halk Alem" or "The Matters World" named "The Universe", and these concepts have emerged after creating The Universe.

The second of the classes of the beings created by Allah is named "Emr Alem". It is also said "The Metaphysical Alem" or "The Spirits world". This "Emr Alem" is not "timed" and "spaced" such as to be at "The Halk Alem" or "The Matters world". Consequently, it does not possess also a "measurable" feature. Namely, this Alem is a "timeless" and "spaceless" world and it can not been determined and measured by using the tools and methods belonging to "The Matters world". Certainly, there are own different tools and methods of this world.

The components of "the Halk Alem" or "the Matters World" are "objects". Objects are things that they possesses certain properties that can be seen and can be measured by humans. The base of the scientific knowledge depends on determining the features of the objects, the changes of their cases, and the relations one another of these changes named "phenomenon".

Whereas, the components of "The Emr Alem" are pleasant and spiritual things such as spirits. They can not be seen by the humans. Their existance, their properties, the miscellaneous features being possessed by them can not be determined by using the establishing ve measuring tools belonging to "The Matters World". The measurement tools belonging to "The Matters World" have been developed only for establishing the matters and their materialistic properties.

A lot of men try to determine the existence of "The Metaphysical World" and its features by using the tools belonging to "The Physical World". Of course, they establish no thing. They suppose that there is no thing for they can not establish anything. And then they turn out to be ateist. This is a very foolishly thing like this that one recognizes the existence of ice looking a floe for he can see it, but he denies the existence of vapour for he can't see it in the air. These are the things being at different phases and the knowledges about their existances can obtain only with the different methods.

Like this, without doubt, the knowledges belonging to "The Spirituals World" representing a different phase can not be obtained with the knowledge obtaining tools and methods belonging to "The Matters World". As there are some methods to get knowledge for "The Physical World", there are also some ways and methods peculiar to themselves to get knowledges of "The Metaphysical World". The knowledges of "The Spiritual World" is obtained only by using these special methods. But there is the belief at the base of all these methods. It is never been arrived the spiritual realities of the meaning world without the belief.

My dear brother,

"The Halk Alem" and "The Emr Alem" constitute two different faces of the created realities. In addition, between these two worlds, there is an "imaginary world" as various symbols of materials of both worlds coming out at the human who represents both worlds. This imaginary world is named as "The Misal Alem" (the misaal aalam). The dreams are typical examples from this imaginary world. The Misal Alem is not a realities world. The Misal Alem is a representative world being formed from visions, dreams and imaginations, therein the realities from both world are been represented as sounds or imagines. Just like the imageries of things in mirror... If it is been destined, I'll talk about that, and obtaining the knowledges belonging to the meaning world.

GoodBye

"Mind" and "Moral" Dimensions of the Human

2007-05-05T05:48:00.001-07:00

My precious brother,

I had talked about five dimensions of the human existence at my previous article.

There are "Subtance dimension", "Physiologycal dimension" and "Psichological dimension" at the animals, also. But other two dimensions belong to the human only. I want to emphasize the last two dimensions for the reason that these are the base of the human manners.

The human gets a "character" and "personality" with to be taken the management of the body by the mind, at the fourth "mind" dimension. Because, the mind is a mechanism that "to think", "to analyse and synthesize", and "to decide". For this reason, this dimension is a dimension that the human behaves according to his self free demands and wishes, with his self free volitions and with his self free decisions. But, in this dimension, desires and wishes of the ego dominate on the manners of person, because, the divine schooling does not be realized, yet. That means, person takes the base thoroughly his self desires and wishes, his own volition, as he decides on any subject.

As a result, in this dimension, the being suitable to the wishes of the person is "good", but the being adverse to the wishes of the person is "bad". For this reason, the person can not escape himself from to be possessive double standart. Because, the same thing and case, as be "good" at a certain time, for suitable to his private benefit, at an other time, is be "bad", for adverse to his private benefit.

An other characteristic of this dimension is to be fond of money, status and havings. In this dimension, as the person takes essence the desires and wishes of his ego as main manager of his manners, everything satisfying this desires gets a big value in his eye. A big fondness arises in his heart for everything satisfying this desires and wishes of his ego. This extreme love and fondness for things such as money, status and havings makes these into a God in owner eye. And makes become merciless and hard-hearted againts the other humans, him.

The annoyances and confusions of the man in this dimension does not never finish. Because, the man in fourth dimension who affiliated to his ego, makes be exhausted every instant of his time of life trying to satisfy the interminable desires and wishes of his ego. Whereas the needs of human is endless. Also the desires and wishes occurring in human ego for these needs, are endless. Does it fihish the annoyances and confusions of the man who tries to do his own every sweet will? For this reason, one of the main characteristics of this fourth dimension is the boredoms, heart unrests, precipitancy.

One of the most important characteristics in this dimension is haughtiness. Haugtiness means to look up himself. This is a spontaneous result of to be ego centered. Because, the ego changes the realities according to itself's desires and wishes. And it looks excellent itself on everybody and everything.

The human in this dimension, also, does not know a "love" in real meaning. Because, the "love" of him is only for his ego and it's desires and wishes. For this reason, he loves everything and everybody satisfying his wishes, and giving the pleasure himself. But, he becomes instantly distant from everything and everybody giving a little trouble himself. He loves the performer any wish of him, he hates from everybody which has't performed his wish.

Therefor, the majority of the humans are very "well" as long as you perform his wishes. "The good and the bad of the human is be understood when you haven't performed his desires."

Shortly, the man in the fourth dimension is a man who is owner "personality", but egoist, tight fisted, atrocious, troubled, unrestful and unloving. Soever, he tries to seem such as a good man for the reason the behavior patterns coming from value judgments placed in society, there is always an egoism under these views. There is a artificiality and a spuriousness in these manners, always.

Everything begins to change, when a person has recognized to resign himself to God and to subject to Him, believing his own Creator. This instant is a instant that the human has took first step to the maturity. The fifth dimension starts here.

My dear brother,

The fifth "moral" dimension of the human is a divine schooling duration that its rules is put by God. The name of this schooling duration is the religion. The religion is a mercy and beneficence of God. Unfortunately, only the believings to God and afterdeath take advantage of this mercy and beneficence. This mercy is only for the givings up themselves to God with their heart contentedness. The most of the humans don't be aware this mercy and beneficence of their Creator, who are be so wrapped up in the desires and wishes of their ego.

The most important reason of the deprivations of the humans from this mercy and beneficence of God, doubtless, is their haughtiness. The haughtiness is the most important barricade in front of all the benefactions. But, the worst of the haughtiness is that being against his God by human. It is a so much fatuously thing to haughtiness against his God by human, that he was created by Him, his all needs provided by Him, and he is a weak creature who will be dead if he remains breathless a few minutes.

If the human begins to be subject to volition of his God, relinquishing his self free volition and his haughtiness, with self heart contentedness, believing Him, he goes into a spiritual ascension and maturation duration.

The method of this spiritual ascension and maturation duration is to remember his Creator everytime, and to do "riyazet" and "mucahede". "Riyazet" means to do not the things (forbidden things) which ego wishes, "mucahede" means to do the things (worship and favor) which ego doesn't wish.

During to be completed this maturation duration, doing "riyazet" and "mucahade", the politeness and the maturity of the human increases. He begins to be a "human" in really meaning. The endless desires of the ego being present in his heart be decreased little by little. The person escapes from his ego and egoism. The fondness against the money, status and havings in his heart finishs. The love of God, who is the real deity and is owner the mercy and high favour, takes place in his heart, in place of these fake deities.

If a person be how much sincere in his belief and be desirous in performing the worships for God, this maturation duration be completed so much quickly.

When the love of God was placed to the heart disappearing the other loves and subjections, shortly after, everything changes. I am comparing just this case like that one greedy caterpillar which devours everything, becomes one elegant butterfly which carries fragrances from flower to flower. After being completed this maturation duration, takes modesty the place of haugtiness, gentleness the place of coarseness, compassion the place of heartlessness, bashfulness the place of shamelessness, beneficence the place of grimness, love the place of hate. This "love" in fifth dimension unlikes the "love" in fourth dimension. It is a real "love". It is not like the loves which be showed for wold benefits and then disappears this benefit finished.

My dear brother,

The most important results obtained in consequence of this duration are those: A strong belief and a heart serenity depending on it. Resignation. Marifetullah. "Marifetullah" means to know his God by the human. The most valuable of the knowledges for the human is to know his God, videlicet "marifetullah". The human has been created for this purpose. The religion is not somniferous as the socialist mentality has thought. The religion means to be "a real man" by passing through the schooling of God. If a man doesn't pass through this schooling, in spite of to be an intelligent creature, he turns out to be a cruel, fiendish, merciless, shameless, contradictious, tightwad, egoist, unrighteous creature, who always uses for viciousness his mental activity. He sometimes is insomuch cruel that, even any animal does not the thing he does.

The viciousnesses can not be controlled in the societies being deprived of the religion. The society becomes full to overflowing with the humans who tries to crush each other. Therefore, the religion is not a somniferous, but it is a perfection elixir for the human. There are always serenity and happiness at the societies which sincerely lives the religion. The perturbations and discomforts stalks at the societies which does not sincerely live the religion or they have suspended from the religion.

The human knows his self ego and his God by means of the religion. He becomes a saintly creature owning the heart serenity, morality and good manner, by means of the religion.

Be trusted to God.

Correct Understanding the Human

2007-05-05T05:44:00.000-07:00

Hello, my precious brother,

The Human has been created in the just centre of the values in the universe. He is one of the most honourable of the Creatures. He is a dear and respected existence. If we can understand the human in a correct way, it becomes possible to understand a lot of things in a correct way.

To be able to understand even a simplest thing in a correct way, it is needed that to know all the dimensions of it, such as width, height and thickness. Like this, if the human was only evaluated with whole dimensions, his real status appears.

There are five existence dimensions of the human.

The first of the existence dimensions is his "substance". His corpse represents the "substance" dimension, which is put into grave when he diead. Human "substance" dimension is such as same all other substances. He has got a weight, a volume and a colour. He is able to analysis as physically and chemically. All the processes which can be applied to the other subtances are can be applied to this.

The second is "physiological events" dimension. This is plant-like life dimension of the human. A person in a coma represents this dimension. Physiological dimension is a dimension that the liveliness events (metabolical events) begin in the human body. The energy producing mechanisms (catabolism) and the biosentesis mechanisms (anabolism) using this produced energy is purposed as saying "the liveliness events". The energy transfer is executed by coenzyme ATP, between this two mechanisms.

A big groups of subtances and ions consist of thousands of enzymes, coenzymes, different chemical ingredients and various chemical carriers (chemical group transferors and electron transporters) and hormones which control all these chemical events act a role in these physiological events, except coenzyme ATP. This is a very complex, dinamic and difficult comprehensible organisation.

The third of the existence dimensions of the human is "psychological events". This is animal-like life dimension of the human. A mad void of mind represents this dimension. Psychological dimension is a dimension that the spiritual events begin in the human body. There is the consciousness at this dimension. There are sensations, emotions and passions, which appear as pleasures and pains. There is the attention. There is the perception the senses coming from the environment. There is to constitute knowledge and concept. There is to save these materials at the memory. There are some spiritual effectivenesses such as to identify, to give reaction to the effects coming from environment, and the intelligence.

The fourth of the existence dimensions of the human is "mind" or "senses". This is humanistic life dimension of the human. A man managing every thing by valuating every event by using his mind represents this dimension. The mind is a thinking, an analysing and synthesizing and a deciding mechanism. The mind is a special feature for the human that he is being differed from animals with it. If the mankind has not being posssesed a mind, any distinctness was not be from an other intelligent animal.

The mind is a measuring and valuating mechanism that valuates every thing according to "the measure" giving to its hand. At this dimension, human uses the "individual benefit" measure, for the moral values is not yet given to his hand. According to him, every thing being suitable to his private benefit is "good", but every thing being adverse to his private benefit is "bad".

The man at this dimension possesses of character or vigorously "personality", for this reason that the mind is a deciding mechanism. He is a man that owning some desires and wishes, owning some peculiar thinks, and trying to manage and to change his surroundings according to his self wishes.

The essential dimension is fifth dimension that makes the human in real meaning a true man. The fifth dimension is "spiritual and moral" dimension. This is heavenly life dimension of the human. A ripe, mellow, merciful, decent and well-mannered man represents this dimension. This dimension is a dimension that the human gets a heavenly character (personality) in place of previous humanistic character (personality), by passing from a divine schooling by his God.

At this dimension, "the measure" using by the mind is changed, and "divine consent" measure has been taken in place of "individual benefit" measure.

Every thing changes in the life of the human in consequence of passing to fifth dimension. The human becomes fine, graceful, decent, truthful, serious, mellow, ripe, tolerant, uncomplaining, helpful, merciful, righteous, generous, resigned, not hurry and confusion in his works, as wholly distinc from previous dimension. This is a situation that appears on the human in consequence of getting moral values which belonging to God and His prophets, by passing from the divine schooling. Such upgraded man to fifth dimension, at that, is a dear and respected existent. The human in this status is the khalif of His God, on the world.

My Dear Brother,

Of course, to be arrived the high character and morality at the fifth dimension by a man is not much easy. This is a long way, with seesaws. To be slowly or quickly of the travelling is not important in this. A man arrives to the destination early or late as he begins this travelling. The most important matter in this is to consent by a man to be schooled by his God, modestly and by leaving the haughtiness.

Of course, for this, primarily, it is needed to believe to the paramount Creator and to recognize the existence of Him. The most of the humans say that: "We believe the God". But the majority is not sincere in this. Whereas, there are so much reasons for believing a God who created all the universe and manages it as He wishes...
