Dear Readers,
I stated that one of the most important mechanisms enabling
the harmony to social environment is "automation" in my
previous article. Automation means becoming the unconscious spiritual
acquisitions of the repeated behaviors, repeated ideas and repeated memories,
by connecting to a spiritual automation. Most of the time people are not even
aware of it. Automation is a phenomenon acquiring skills in behaviors,
interactions, relations, and connections. Those spiritual acquisitions and
relations reflect to heart as "spiritual affinities" or "spiritual
connections". As long as repeats increases, this spiritual
connections become more stronger. Moreover, after a while these spiritual
passions become addictions. This love and passion in the heart makes
the person a crazy of the loved thing.
These love and passions, which became addictions, are
blessings if they are for good things that Allah (swt) approves. They bring
benefits and good things for themselves and their society. However, if they are
about their nafs (ego), they will bring disasters for both themselves and their
society. Even the things that are considered as harmless are related to
the nafs, cause problems when they become passions and addictions. For
example, a little child who always plays computer games can be a "game
addict", a teenager who listens to music becomes "music addict",
a mother who watches tv series becomes " tv series addict" and a father who always watches football matches
becomes "football addict". Those people are interested in anything
but what they are addicted to. They began ignoring each other because of their
addictions. They never quit their addictions as they really enjoy them.
Therefore, the family members are like strangers even they live in the same
house. The communication, love, and connection between the family members
disappear.
# Spiritual passions and addictions are the disasters of the human
The spiritual connections and passions that emerge by
repeating the spiritual desires are generally not limited to the thing what is
being addicted to according to the strength of the spiritual love. It comprises
other related things. For example a football addict is also interested in
the football teams, players, TV shows and football interpretations in the
newspapers. In other words, interest and love for something is not limited for
the thing itself but also comprises what is related to them. Therefore, these
addictions and passions are for a group of objects and events.
These passions and addictions of nafs (ego), which are
illnesses, are disasters that capture his nafs unconsciously and unaware of the
bad things it brings because of the love in his heart. Many people don't need a
cure, as they are not aware of the situation.
The shortest way to get rid of such passions and addictions is being away
of their addictions. The repeated
synergy causes spiritual connections although when a person abstains them these
spiritual connections disappear. There is a proverb in Turkish "Out of sight, out of mind".
The real key to salvation from these addictions is love and remembrance of
Allah (swt). This remembrance draws away
all other passions in time by keeping him away from all other desires and
creates a love and passion for Allah. Ibrahim Hakki hazrats from Erzurum
# Human's Debt of Gratitude
The most important passion that must be in a person's heart is the love of
Allah. This is a person's debt of gratitude. Because Allah is the one who created him and meets all his
needs. Allah is the owner, patron
and the closest friend of the human. Allah is the real owner of every
blessing that is given to human in many occasions. The Creator presented the
human with a hundred of bio-mechanisms. Every moment, hundred thousands of
enzymes, coenzymes, hormones, chemical group agents and electron agents provide
the power and energy for some precursors and components and keep the body
healthy by completing ten thousands of biosynthesis perfectly. Allah (swt)
protects the human from the harmful fungi, bacteria, and viruses with various
protection, defense, and immunity mechanisms. Allah (swt) supports the human
for the negative conditions of the ecology with hundreds of compliance
mechanisms. Allah (swt) enables the healthy continuity of humankind by genetic,
somatic, physiologic, and psychological mechanisms. Allah (swt) is the one Who provides health, welfare, and well-being of
human and humankind every minute. Allah (swt) enables human evaluate his
present, past and future and take precautions beforehand for the possible
difficulties by creating amazing and helpful knowledge, inventions, and works
as a result of various plans and designs. Allah makes human righteous by the
perfect education support which is called "religion" and reach the
level of moral nobility that no other creature has. Doesn't human have a debt of gratitude for the infinite blessings,
which cannot be listed here adequately? Therefore, the biggest love,
passion and addiction must be for Allah (swt) Who is the creator and ruler of
the entire universe and the real owner of all benefits, goodness and blessings
that the humans are gifted with.
Unfortunately, most of the people live unaware of Allah (swt) and the
infinite blessings given by Allah (swt). Of course, the most important reasons of this blindness are the wishes and
desires of nafs. The human who is stuck in the never-ending desires of his nafs
cannot realize the blessings of Allah (swt).
The human must try to identify his nafs and educate it
by abstaining from what Allah (swt) forbids (Riyazat) and being subject to what
Allah (swt) orders (Mudjahada). Afterwards, he must have a strong love for
Allah (swt) by remembering Allah (swt) to whom he owes gratitude and thanks. A
person mustn't forget Allah even for a second. Everybody will meet Allah (swt)
one day when he will be asked how and where he used these
blessings. Nobody can escape from it. Allah, who has the power to create
out of nothing, build and rule the universe having perfect order, also has the
power to recreate the human and question him. Nobody must doubt it.
One mustn't forget that human needs the love and
closeness to Allah. Allah (Swt) doesn't need the closeness of any of His
servants. As He is nearer to each of servant than (his) jugular vein. It is
ordered in the verses from the Qur'an that:
"It was We Who created man, and We know what suggestions his soul makes
to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein." (Qaf, 16)
# A person must remember Allah
every minute
Dear Readers,
A person must zikr (remember) Allah (swt) and recite
"bismillah" before beginning any work. He must recite "Lailahe
illallah" (kelime-i tevhit) when he feels that his heart is filled with
anything rather than Allah, "Subhanallah" (kelime-i tenzih) when he
thinks the greatness of Allah, "Elhamdulillah" (kelime-i tahmid) when
Allah gifts him with blessings, "Allah-u Ekber" (kelime-i tekbir)
when he thinks the supremacy of Allah (swt), "La havle ve la kuvvete illa
billah" (kelime-i temcit) when he thinks Allah has the power for
everything, "Hasbinallah ve nimel vekil" when he trusts Allah about
everything, "Estagfirullah" (kelime-i istigfar) when he falls into a
sin or remembers his past sins. A person must remember Allah (swt) by every
work he performs, everything he faces, and every condition he is in.
One must cite "Lailahe illallah"
which is the superior zikr as much as possible. He must cite it so many times
that the others think he is crazy. It is ordered in the hadiths that:
"Mention Allah as much as you want, until
(factious) people say that you are crazy" (Ramuz'ul Ehadis)
Zikr must be cited by heart or by words that can be
heard only by the person himself.
A person reaches the real knowledge of Allah only
after the remembrance of Allah becomes an irreplaceable passion in his heart.
This is when Marifetullah occurs. Therefore, how a newborn baby gets to
know his mother, who is always with him taking care of all the needs, better
than everyone, a person who remembers Allah and His blessings is aware of
Allah.
Be entrusted to Allah.
