The Essence of Human and Mevlana

Cover art: Veli’m, Beliz Demircioğlu İnanç

This is the inner crux of the views and beliefs embedded in the very rich and influential Qadiri tariqa. As such my partner Beliz was born into a milieu that flourished in Presence of their beloved Shaika. I, on the other, was given the name Abdülkadir by my mother, which belonged to my grand-father. My grand father’s grand father, İlyas, was a Qadiri Sheikh, and my grand father got the name Abdülkadir after Abdelkader Gilani. Life it seems is not without its synchronicities. I have transcribed the text, digitized the pictures and organized the post, and Beliz shared a glimpse to introduce her experience and her artwork which is a symbolic representation of her Shaika. I have preserved page numbers for reference.

In summary, this pamphlet explores Islamic mysticism, describing the journey of the human soul from birth to death and beyond. It presents a cosmology where humans originate from divine realms, descend to earth, and can return to the divine through spiritual awakening. The text emphasizes that man’s purpose is to “hear God’s speech”, which requires finding “the speaking Koran” (identified as the Nur of Muhammad or godly soul) in one’s heart by abandoning worldly desires before physical death. It describes Allah as the essence of existence with ninety-nine divine names, and presents a hierarchical universe where the “godly soul” (identified with the Nur of Muhammad) mediates between God and creation. The work discusses saints in Islam who achieved divine connection, particularly focusing on figures like Jalaladdin Rumi and Ahmet Süreyya Emin.

Both Mehmed Ali Özkardeş, and his master Ahmet Süreyya Emin are inventors. Master Süreyya built an auto-cannon in 1848, and M. Ali Özkardeş built a teleprinter. On wikipedia:

In Turkey, a Turkish telegrapher named Mehmed Ali Özkardeş developed a Teleprinter (receiving and transmitting telegraph machine) device in 1935 and exhibited it at an exhibition opened in 1952. This device, which was invented in 1935 through the personal efforts of Mehmed Ali Özkardeş, who was the manager of the telegraph factory and retired from the Istanbul Science chief inspectorate in 1953, was made entirely with local materials and local workmanship by master craftsman İbrahim Özkural. In 1981, it was handed over free of charge to General Manager Ruhi Özer and General Manager Yusuf Çetiner by Vedad Karabol on the precondition that it would be exhibited in the Museum in Ankara. Today, the device is on display at the PTT museum in Sirkeci, Istanbul. (see teleprinter on wikipedia)

This invention serendipitously reflects the content of the teaching expounded in this pamphlet. Where the teleprinter is a military communication device that enables point-to-point secure transmission between two parties, the Nur of Muhammad, godly soul, does this at a cosmological level. The locus of the Nur of Muhammadi, so to say the teleprinter of the soul, is the human heart. I leave you to Beliz’s writing and art to feel the heart’s content.

Some teachers are hidden, like stars in the sky at midday… And some are in plain sight.
Some proclaim to the masses: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
While others share only with a small circle: “All creation is built upon love.”
I met my teacher when I was a child. I remember many things about her from my childhood, but most of all, her eyes…
Our gaze meeting…
Her eyes were an ocean—flowing deep both into herself and into me at the same time…
Her eyes were an ocean—stirring the divine love within me…
She passed on in the summer of 2024. I can recall her gaze without even closing my eyes—the longing runs deep in my heart…
She was the spiritual child of Pir Abdul-Qadir Geylani, Hz. Ahmet Süreyya Emin, and Hz. Mehmet Ali Özkardeş. And I am hers.
After her passing, this work of her sheikh found its way into my hands in an unexpected place.
May it reach others who, knowingly or unknowingly, are on their own journey of seeking…

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH AND BEYOND THAT

The birth of a man on this earth is to say the seeing of him his appearing among the earth men after his wanders from the divine world untill this world which is the lowest one with the going round the divine and the angelic worlds which are arranged fewer and few condensed and with the traveling the finest parts of the cosmic body as arsh and kursu and the parts of it (cosmic body) which are more and more condensed as the substances of all arts and with the being instructed by many divine names during his wanders in those worlds abovementioned. As the man forgot the afore said wanders made and the knowledges obtained by him before to come on this earth, if he begins to ask himself so much so in his childhood: «what am I? why am I on this earth? where am I coming from? and where must I go?» he doubtless is a soul the most expected to the prophethood or to the saintship of high degree. My high moral leader Hz. Ahmet Süreyya Emin said that he did not worship a fancyied God, because he knew since he was still a boy of four years old that his essence is Allah (one God).

In that case an enlightening and awakened human soul is that who knows and comprehends that God is his essence and in his childhood also says that «I am not created from inexistence, I am from the existence of a powerful and mighty Sovereign. That Monarch constructed me with His existence and forces. What are of things in me that I see them they belong all to Him and they are all of things lent to me. With Him I can taste a sniff of existence». A soul who can think this reality is a real human one.

— 3 —

If so the purpose of the coming to this earth for a man is to have the luck to hear the speech of God in his human heart and to effectually know that God is together in him with His divine speech and not with His silence and to have the prosperity to obtain an eternal life with Him. A man who obtains this aim is undying (immortel) in the moral world.

The natural death seen is the abandoning of his body garment by the human soul and the returning of him (of human soul) in the divine world with his lucky wander in it.

If the human soul has exalted the degree of his cosmic body in the fineness of his soul, this lucky wander of him in the divine world is to be happened with soul and body together.

Nur for this high acquirement is necessary for a man to be freely died- (that is to abandon all his ignorant and sensual desires and obtain of divine morals)- before the natural death and to be animated with te godly soul.

THE FIRST CHAPTER

ALLAH (ONE GOD) WHO IS THE CREATOR AND THE KEEPER ALIVE

Allah taught and informed His Godhood with His ninety nine divine names in the Koran. Allah is the essence existence. The visible existence is possible to be created (that is to be appeared) from Allah who is the creator and the essence existence as to His divine wills; that is Allah constructed the possible and created existence with His inner existence. If He wills He can put it again in an invisible form. Nur the thing that He created He kept and showed it as a thing existing in order to make taste to it a sniff of existence as to His Wisdom. In this manner He effectually proves that he can put any created into different forms letting it to taste life and death and showing so that every created always is under His divine rule.

— 4 —

As Allah taught His Godhood with His ninety nine divine names, every verse of the holy Koran is to be interpreted according to those ninety nine divine names and to give ninety nine different meanings for it (for the verse).

However where is a learned who can give more than two meanings for every verse of the glorious Koran.

In that case with these some words it is at once to be understood how difficult is to possess the mysterious substances of the ninety nine divine names. It is possible to know with Koran the divine realities (that is the divine knowledges about the names, the attributes and the existence of Allah) and the meaning of this is to find in heart (in the human heart) as teacher the speaking Koran who is the encircling Nur of Muhammed (other wise to say: the godly soul that is the general prophet in the entire Universe).

It is to say: before to find the speaking Koran (the godly soul) in heart as teacher it is impossible to know the divine realities in the degree of the certitude (certainty). The below written verse of the holy Koran teachs the reality of this divine mystery:

«Godd teachs with pen, he teachs man what was unknown to him». In this verse pen means the godly soul otherwise to say the relative soul.

PART ONE

THE ENTITY AND THE VALUE OF TRADITIONAL AND RATIONAL KNOWLEDGES IN THE WAYS OF THE GNOSIS OF ALLAH

What is the divine gnosis? if it is this (the divine gnosis) known, it can be understood what is to know with the words: «in the ways of divine gnosis». The divine gnosis is: the manifestation Himself of Allah in man’s heart with

— 5 —

His divine name the speaking and the teaching of Him the divine knowledges about His divine names, attributes and existence. A man who has of such divine manifestation in his heart can only possess and know the divine gnosis in the degrees of the certainty.

[(After the prophet Muhammed Imam Ali… Abdülkadir Jaylani… Mavlânâ Jalâladdin Rumi… Ahmet Süreyya Emin … Possess the divine gnosis in the degrees of the certainty.] As the reality is so the learned men of today who have of theoretical knowledges on the divine gnosis must be attentive to the divine knowledges of Kuran and to the real knowledges of saints of the first and high degrees appeared in Islam who have found the godly soul with His name the Speaking as teacher in their hearts.

The divine knowledges come down from the hearts of those saints of the first degrees are of divine title-deeds in order to be respected and learned by those who are in the theoretical degrees of the divine gnosis. The essence knowledges of the divine gnosis are based upon the divine realities that is upon the names, attributes and existence of Allah.

This real knowledge is to be estimated as traditional one for other men’s account in order to have an enlightenment in their hearts.

In that case the traditional knowledge is that which is heard and learned from the prophets and the saints. The rational knowledge depens on the condition to have a form and reality which can be acceptable by the mind. Only how is the luck and the divine approach of a man who has in his heart the manifestation Himself of Allah with His divine name the Speaker; this matter and reality is to remain and to eternally remain unknown for a man who merely has of rational knowledge.

For this reason as it is not possible for every man to be endowed with the manifestation Himself of Allah with

— 6 —

His divine name the Speaking and to have so pure divine knowledges it is absolutely necessary for all other men to possess of traditional and rational knowledges based upon the knowledges of prophets and saints.

It is to say every human soul is in the necessity to have knowledges on the divine gnosis with traditional and rational knowledges in the condition abovementioned.

Those who are learned are not the same of those who are uneducated as the light is not the same of the darkness.

PART TWO

THE ORIGINES OF THE KNOWLEDGES, THE DIVINE SPEECH AND THE DIVINE INSPIRATIONS

The divine inspiration (the revealment) is that which comes down in heart of a prophet or saint according to the divine rule in form of a regular conversation with the condition to be said the divine name to whom this inspiration belongs. As an example, if a regular expression in form: «I am God, I am together with thee, I am speaking thee…» is come down in the heart of any saint and after this words: «God is speaking with the name Esselam that is the powerful Sovereign of the safety» are added in the heart of him, this saint understands that Allah (one God) is in speech with him. In the angelic inspiration, the divine name is not revealed in heart of the God’s slave who received it. As an example, if any human soul receives in his heart an inspiration form : «do not make this» and he is obedient under the effect of it, this inspiration is an angelic one. If the inspiration was divine, the divine addressing in form «Esselam is speaking» would revealed and added in the heart of him. The angelic inspirations are ag-

— 7 —

reeing and suitable to the holy Koran and to the words of the prophet.

The carnal and sensual inspirations are not conforming with the Koran and prophet’s words.

The satanic inspiration is insidious. The outer side of it appears as angelic and the poison is hidden in its inner side. As an example, if any one has this inspiration: «Perform thine divine service» and when he is in divine service it begins to come down in him the second inspiration in form «Look now, you are becoming a good God’s slave better than those who will not perform their divine services» and with it (the second inspiration) he understands that the first inspiration was satanic; for the thinking of one that he is better than the others is a satanic idea. Because Satan said that he is better than Adam and his stating was rejected by God. When a God’s slave performs his divine service, he must not think the others if they do it or not and so not to be laughty of his deed, because this is a God’s order for each slave of Him.

PART THREE

THE NAMES, ATTRIBUTES AND EXISTENCE OF ALLAH

God is the owner of existence. If He has not existence, how can come into existence all the created things in the Universe. The existence of God is in His absolute possession. All the created things can not taste an absolute existence proper to them. Because their existence definitely belongs to God and they are all in need God’s bestowings from points of view of existence and forces. God has other names, proper to his absolute God’s world; they did not appear remaining hidden in the absolute existence world of God. Because to know them depens on the necessity to be self-

— 8 —

standing and selfsufficient like God. For this reason God never bestows the endowments of those hidden names to His creatures. To say that God never gives His endowments of the selftsanding to any created it is to state that God never gives His Godhood to any one of His creatures. That is all the creatures and among them the prophets and the saints are in need God for their existence and powers. They are all in the addressing of God which is: «You all the creatures, you are poors toward me from points of view of your existence and forces, they belong all definitely to me and they are lent to you by me.»

To say the attributes of Allah it is to state the forces of Allah. They are of meanings which stand with God. As an example, in the flint the fire virtually is existing. The fire in the hidden state in flint is to be considered as an attribute of flint. But when this hidden attribute of the flint is appeared in the form fire, the hidden arttribute has a name and it is named fire as a force of the flint. Like that, the forces of seeing and hearing of God are hidden in every point of existence. In their hidden states they are the attributes of Allah and when their affects of seeing and hearing are appearing from our eyes and ears they have the names that is we can say we have the forces to see with our eyes and to hear with our ears, that is we are bestowed with the endowments of the names of Allah which are: the seer and the hearer. In that case, from God’s attributes and names we have to understand His divine forces to which we need God for the endowments of them.

Niyazi Misri a saint in Islam says:

The God’s names appear from all created things, and from all names, God ever appears, that is from our eyes appear God’s endowments of His name the seer and with His name the seer, He Himself is appearing (in the reality).

The man who is endowed to have the manifestation of the divine existence (of the godly soul) in his heart knows

— 9 —

in the degree of the certitute (certainty) that God Himself is manifesting with His names in the heart of him and he does not look at the names of God but he looks and knows that the possessor of the names who is God, is manifesting Himself in him.

It is to say he is not confused with the names, that is he always is knowing God and looking at Him. As it is remembered, it is here to add that God is free from all imperfect qualities and He is the owner of all the perfect attributes. There is no addition or subtraction to do for them. As an example, there is no addition or subtraction for His seeing and knowing. To say that God is eternal it is to state that He is the first without a beginning and the last without an end. He is an eternal and everlasting Sovereign who possess the same endless perfections in every instant. He is free from the imperfect qualities as the acts of error lack and inadvertency. He is also free from all the needs of sleep, sex, food and drink. He is free from birth or giving birth, He has not adopted son, wife or children. Briefly to say He is free of all the wants towhich the createds are in need. He is a Sovereign selfsufficient, selfstanding, powerful and omniscient to do and create what does He will. He gives life, puts to death, He ressurrects. He is the lord of all worlds.

His Godhood is indivisible. There is no partner and peer for Him. equally sees in light and in darkness. There is no difference for Him to see all the creatures of the creation in form of visible or invisible existence waves. This is the mystery said for the reality that God had of apparitions before the appearing of this universe. When the createds were in the hidden waves they were unaware the one of other. Only the great souls of the prophets and the saints were in the state to hear God’s speech in them and to know taht their essence and reality is God.

The word below said of Hz. Yunus Emra, a saint appeared in Islam, teachs this mystery:

— 10 —

«God is eternal, his slave is eternal, no separation even a step.» [Only the hidden existence waves of the God’s slaves were unable to put themselves into visible existence waves and to be aware the one of other. God put them (the invisible existence waves of the slaves) into the forms of visible existence waves and gave them of endowments in order to be aware the one of other; this reality is a duty to be known by each created that all the creatures of the universe need God from points of view of existence and forces. The great souls of the prophets and the saints which are alive with the godly soul have of divine perfections with God’s endowments, this is to be God with God. They are immortel with the divine endowments of perfections forever.]

THE SECOND CHAPTER

THE DIVINE AND COSMIC WORLDS

God constructed at first His divine existence (with His outer and finer existence), then He constructed the existence of the creation (with His inner and denser existence).

He did those constructions with Him to Him, in Him, for Him. (as His divine love of the being recognised). When it is said the spiritual world it is to be understood the souls who direct the cosmic bodies.

When it is said the cosmic world, it is to comprehend all the cosmic bodies in the creation.

God is the outer and surrounding existence. The creation is the inner and surrounded existence.

For the construction of the divine existence worlds which are the essence of the spiritual and cosmic worlds, it is to be known:

World proper to God Himself. This is the essence of existence.

— 11 —

The world of the Nur Muhammed who is encircling all the universe and who is created and encircled by God as His mirror and general prophet in the creation forever, this is the essential existence.

No human soul can step in the God’s world which is selfstanding. For this reason we have no knowledges about the essence of the existence who is God. Because it is necessary for this to be selfstanding like God, but this is impossible; for God never gives the endowment to be selfstanding to any created that is God never gives His Godhood. He is God, all the createds (the prophets and saints are included) need Him from points of view of existence and forces.

The human soul can step in the world of the Nur of Muhammed who is the godly soul.

It is to say a human soul can be alive with the godly soul and have so of divine endowments of the perfections of the divine names who have of apparitions in the creation. This state is to possess the mysterious substances of the divine names. He who is endowed with the perfections of the divine names, the order «be» depens on his rule. (as God’s wills are for him). It happens what does he say.

Before to farther give of knowledges it is considered convenient to add here some divine realities as below:

God is free from shape and colour, but every shape and colour appeared from Him.

God is free from time and place that is He always existe everywhere in the space. This endless space is His possesion. There is no other possessor, only He is. All the places appeared form Him and He is together with them. As He always exists, there is no meaning of the time for Him. He is the first without a beginning and the last without an end.

He is the creator of good and evil.

He rewards good and punishes evil. He created all the things with their opposites and proves so that there is no

— 12 —

lack in His God’s Knowledge. A thing with its opposite clearer is to be shown and taught. This proves the high wisdom of God.

Here below is the very simple form showing how are the divine, angelic and cosmic existence-dispositions placed in the entire universe according to the divine Kuran sent by God to the prophet Muhammed. It is known today that all simple and combined corps, in other words to say the cosmic bodies in the whole universe are constituted by four corpuscules named Neutron, proton, positron and electron by coming together in different proportions. If the entire cosmic body of the universe is taken into consideration, it is encircled until these four corpuscules in every atom constitutions by some sur-rounding angelic souls, fluxes then godly soul and at last by God.

(I) These fluxes are imponderable oceans (as souls) lighter than the four corpuscules (Neutron, proton, positron and electron) constitutions.

The souls of all creatures (bigs or littles). Each one of four main corpuscules (Neutron, Proton, Positron and electron) constitutions.

— 13 —

This scheme teaches us the reality of Kuran which is: «God created heavens and earth in six days.» The word day is not to be understood with a time meaning but it is in the existence meaning which is Nur, that is: «God created heavens and earth in six nurs». These six nurs encircle the universal (cosmic) body which are:

1 — Allah Himself (Who is the essence and the reality of existence selfstanding).

2 — The godly soul (God’s calif) whose world is divine. He is created and arranged by and appeared from God. He is the general prophet for all creatures in the universe. This soul is to be understood by christians «God Father» according to their beliefs. This soul is called by the moslem saints: The surrounding Nur or soul of Muhammed or the godly soul or Kalem or the speaking Kuran according

— 14 —

to the holy Kuran. This godly soul has no share of Godhood. Only he is standing with God’s perfect divine endowments of knowledges and forces so as his attributes and morals are divine according to the divine endowments ever bestowed to him by God all the time. He encircles all the souls and the bodies in the universe holding them under his hand as commander, teacher and owner in the capacity of a real representative of God. He is God with God.

God encircles the godly soul. God appears with godly soul kindly and condenscendingly forever. So, every human soul of prophets or saints who are alive with the godly soul is named prophet or saint as to his divine degree and he is called God son by the christians according to their beliefs with condition of the understanding to know that he needs God for his divine perfections. This is the mystery to be God with God. The moslem saints do not use the term God Father for the godly soul and the giving a name as God son for the prophets or saints in order not to make an erroneous understanding for men to let believe them that the godly soul or a prophet as Jesus Christ have shares of Godhood.

3 – 6 – The other four surrounding nurs are the angel nurs named as Gabriel, Seraph, Michael and Azrael.

After these explanations it is to be understood that the prophet Muhammed appeared in Mecca is a perfect representative point of the godly soul in the earth; and the Gabriel (with another term to say: the holy Ghost) as a handsome one appeared to the prophet Muhammed is a perfect representative point of the surrounding Gabriel nur.

It is to add that the holy Ghost who communicates God’s orders to the prophet Muhammed has also no share of Godhood.

REMARK 1 — If it is said: God is three persons: «God Father, God son and the holy ghost and all these three have shares of Godhood, it will be an erroneous saying. The reason is: If I ask: Is everyone of Godhood shares

— 15 —

independent of the other two? and I have the answer: Yes, it will state that there are three Gods and this is contrary to the reality of God’s oneness. If these three are dependent on each other, then none of these three can be God, because God is never dependent. As God is one: God Father, God son and the holy Ghost need Him, that is all these three are created by God.

REMARK 2 — God has never adopted wife (as Mary), son (as Jesus Christ), children (as angels).

REMARK 3 — The good is ever bidden and the evil is always prohibited by God.

A verse in the Kuran reads: «Nur-un-alâ nur» that means: Nur upon nur. The nur who is upon means: God, and the nur who is under means: the godly soul. Another verse in the Kuran reads: «Nun vel Kalem ve ma yesturum» that means Nun (here it means Allah) and pen (the surrounding godly soul) and that which they write (that is the created things). A man needs pen, ink and paper when he wishes to write, then he can write the words and sentences as his knowledge on paper. This is writing by means of pen, that is why Allah has created first the nur of Muhammed as a pen, in His creator hand and with which has created all the universal property just like a man who with his pen in his hand writes words and sentences on the lines of a piece of paper. In this creation Allah gave to the nur of Muhammed which is a pen in His Inventor’s Hand, instead of ink and paper, some existence bestowings out of which appeared all the creatures in the universe.

This proves that the universe is full everywhere, there is no empty point. every point of the universe is encircled with the surrounding angelic souls (with otherwise to say: angelic nurs), fluxes and then godly soul and at last God.

As to the fluxes, Arsh is God’s throne. The divine orders appear at firts in Arsh. Arsh is the general heart of the universe. Kursi is the general brain of the universe.

— 16 —

The endowments of God for executing appear first in Kursi; Levh is the general preserved tablet constitution of God’s will (destiny).

These fluxes with their souls direct all the events happening anywhere in the universe with God’s endowments coming through the godly soul to them and going downward by means of four surrounding angel nurs which are embracing all the cosmic body to points of corpuscules. Gabriel gives mind, Seraph gives life, Michael gives food and drink, Azrael gives death to all creatures through God’s endowments.

In regard to human soul, he can be alive with the godly soul. In this case he is returned to the divine world, endowed with divine qualities attributes and morals. All the prophets: Muhammed, Jesus Christ, Moses… etc. are alive with the godly soul. After the prophet Muhammed, the great saints of moslem world also as Imam Ali…, Abdülkadir Jaylani (who is the owner of this divine way of Him, and says: My cocks will crow until the doomsday taht is, it is to appear of my divine way, of real saints who will go trough this divine way until the divine world hearing God’s speech in their hearts and possessing of divine perfections)…, Mevlana Jalaladdin-al-Rumi,… and in these last years appeared in Istanbul Ahmet Sureyya Emin who passed away in 1923, returned to the divine world.

Ahmet Süreyya Emin is my divine leader who is endowed with divine morals and attributes. He is the fourth second and the last guide of Abdulkadir’s divine ways, a personality of highest degrees of the saintship. He always is in the divine capacity to effectually prove his divine state with the performations.

(REMARK : The meaning of the word passed: «Divine» in the abovementioned sentences correctly is to be understood as below:

The sayings of a prophet or a saint in the forms: «I

— 17 —

have a religion, I have of morals, My religion and my moral way are divine, I have of divine knowledges, possessions and performances», they are all of thanks toward God and not of the being partner to Him. Because he knows with God in the degree of certainty that all those perfect endowments in him are of God’s bestowings to him and supported by them he can say, know and do. His seeings and performances belong to God. These mysteries of the divine perfections are revealed in man’s heart world with divine inspirations, godly seeings and performances. – The mystery of God’s teaching

It is to add here some words as below:

If a God’s slave says that I have eyes with them I see; I have mains with them. I do and I have mind with it I know. In this saying.

1 — If God’s slave Knows that his eyes, mains and mind and supported by them his seeing, doing and knowing are all in him of God’s endowments, of His existence and attributes and with this right knowing he said, his sayings are of thanks toward God.

2 — If God’s slave does not know this reality his saying will be as the being of partner toward God.)

After the learning very correctly those realities abovesaid it is to be affirmed that the state of returning of saints in the divine world ever continue here on this earth for every time and the divine revealments (the divine inspirations) come down in hearts of the divine men are not ended and those realities are known, seen and certifyied by the great saints appeared in Islam.

Jalâladdin Rumi who is a real moral inheritor of the prophet Muhammed for his time says: «My Masnavi (a divine book of him) does not depend on the astronomy and the geomancy nor on the dreem and fancy but it relys on the divine inspirations and revealments; God knows with absolute certainty». This explanation of him proves the above written realities.

— 18 —

In that case, If it is asked what is the meaning and the perfection of the man, it is to briefly answer as below:

The meaning of the man is to know that he is an identity of God and not else of Him (that is what has the man, all definitely belong to God). Just as Abdulkadir Jaylani (a great and very famous saint appeared in Bagdad) says:

«There is no little particle as outside and inside of me which is empty of God. My shape is the mirror of the essence and that (the essence) is God.» The perfection of the man is to have the mystery to be God with God that is to be endowed with the divine attributes and morals. The mystery of the man is a mystery of God.

After to be very correctly learned all those realities aforesaid it is very interesting now to add some words about religions in order to Know what is the aim of them and what is the purpose of their perfections. The aim of the religions is to comprehend the possibility of the subjet that a man can find God in him with the hearing His speech in his heart and take knowledges and orders from Him in order to communicate and to advise them to other men. A man who finds God and divulges and explains the knowledges given by God to him is named prophet or saint in the footing of prophet. The mysteries informed by the prophets about the hereafter as the mysteries of resurrection, the balance (on the day of the Judgement), Elsirat (that is the imaginery bridge between paradise and hell), the entering in the paradise or in the hell according to the good or bad deeds of the human souls and the eternal lucky or unhappy life of them, are all of the religious knowledgs.

[In the reality the right thoughts which assure prosperity are as the bridge of the hereafter: Alsirat which guides to the paradise: and the paradises are our good morals and the hells are our bad morals.]

All those mysteries really are seen by the prophets and saints with the being freely died (that is to freely abandon the ignorant and sensual desires and to find

— 19 —

God’s speech in heart) before their natural deaths. They effectually know what is to be died before the natural death and what is to find God in him by a man and what is to hear the divine speech in heart of him. In this case it is a luck to believe in the hereafter and in the mystery of the resurrection and to surely know that God never loves the evil and He loves the good and He Himself will be the Judge on the day of the Judgement for His slaves. For this reason each man must be attentive to God’s orders in order to obtain the resignation of God and to have His peace forever. As to the perfections of religions it is to say that the religious knowledges about God’s realities (that is knowledges about God’s existence, attributes, names) were from time to time modifyied and misundersstood the good morals were abandoned by men and for this reason God sent Moses… then Christ and at last Muhammed as prophets. The prophet Muhammed put to rights with the holy Kuran sent to him by God, all the divine realities (that is all the correct knowledges about God’s existence, attributes, names and deeds) and taught also all the good morals and states that a man who wishes divine perfections must be freely died before the natural death and with the finding God speaker in his heart, he can obtain of divine attributes and morals. The great saints appeared in Islam as Imam Ali… Abdulkadir Jaylani…. Mevlânâ Jelâladdin Rumi…. Ahmet Süreyya Emin…. are going in the moral traces of the holy Muhammed and with the being freely died before their natural death, they found God speaker in their hearts who bestowed them of divine attributes, morals and divine knowledges.

Before that I begin to give some knowledges about Mavlânâ Jalâladdin Rumi I must give here some knowledges of Kuran which will aid to understand how is the mystery of the God’s approch.

— 20 —

A verse of the glorious Koran teachs that «God is together with all the createds and He is to man nearer than the vein of his neck» and another verse of the Koran teachs also that «He who wills a god’s approach must have an opportunity».

The opportunity is a perfect man who has found God speaker in His heart and has morals attributes and morals. The opportunity of Jalâladdin Rumi was Shamsi Tebrizi (Shams of Tebriz).

Hz. Mavlânâ Jalâleddin Rumi had found at first the divine opportunity of his time who was Shamp of Tabriz and with him (with Shams of Tabriz) he had the luck to really find God’s approach. (that is to be endow with the honour to have God’s speach in heart). That is, as Mavlânâ Jalâladdin Rumi eternally had a candidature of the saintship in God’s knowledge, the divine guiding of Shams of Tabriz was successful and flourishing for him in order to have the happiness to be certifyied with the two orders given by the prophet Muhammed which are:

To be freely died before the natural death, and.
To have of divine attributes and morals with the being alive through the godly soul (as God’s wills are for him).

After the returning of Mavlâna in the divine world, God bestowed him, of His divine perfections in order to possess the divine Right and Capacity to guide the disciples of him in the divine path until the divine world. He who eternally has not candidature of the saintship in God’s knowledge and does not find an opportunity of his time that is a divine leader who diviny is autorised to guide men in the divine path (way) with the having divine attributes and morals, he never can find a real God’s approach. The right of the guidance belongs to the living knower of God for his time, it is to be known that the godly soul is the divine teacher in his heart. For this reason, it is not

the matter to farther search the godly soul as teacher in the tombs of saints.

On this reality Hz. Mavlânâ Jalâladdin Rumi says:

«After our death, our tomb will not be in the earth, it will be in the hearts of God’s knowers.»

Mavlânâ hints here with the word: death, the abandoning of his body by the human soul of him. With the word: tomb, he means his human soul who conceals the mysteries as a tomb and he is alive with the godly soul (the divine teacher); he advices so to those who will a God’s approach to search a human soul of the time who is alive also with the godly soul as he (Mavlânâ) is and can be the opportunity of his time as a real moral inheritor of the prophet Muhammed.

Briefly to say Hz. Mavlânâ is the divine guide in the way of him which conducts to the divine world, he is a godly leader appearing in the islamic world with a distinguished countenance in the rows of the great saints of God who are of the same glory of the divine guide and he is a graceful, noble and virtual moral Sultan. To know Mavlânâ as a poet only and to describe him with the possession of high degrees of poesy, or to say that he is a music teacher or lover and to know him with such toughts and mentalities it is not sufficient and it is necessary to be attentive in the points that he is a great saint in the footing of prophet and to be anxious to acquire his divine love.

The intercessions of prophets and great saints are of noble duties for those who call on their tombs with a pure love and intention, For this reason those who call on the tomb of Mevlâna Jalâladdin Rumi with a hearty love and interest have the luck to surely obtain the intercession of him.

As this Pamphlet teachs and contains all the realities

for those who will know the essence of the man, it is of a real value to be read and learned with hearty love and interest by each one who loves God. All thanks to Him.
