MÂ-İ  BİLLÛRİ (CRYSTALLINE WATER)

By Dr.Munir Derman (K.S)

 

Mâ-i Billûri, a crystallised form of the nonvanishing drop of “WATER”

(the drop which is formed from the command received in it’s disposition, in accordance with the laws,)

 

(Alternative translation to the sentence above: the drop taking form in accordance with the laws related to the elemental characteristics coming from it’s own disposition )

 

This does not vanish

It is everywhere.

It is called “billûr-crystalline”.

 

‘Mütevelidi’l-mai’ (Hydrogen).

Divine thing bringing forth( giving birth to) the Water. 

 

Billûr is the frozen vapor or water.

There is water in the vapor.

There is a droplet of water in everything in the world.

 

The Ancients knowing that, used to call this “Mâ-i Billûri (Crystalline water)”.

 

In 1784, René-Just Hauy(who was an abbé) wrote the book of Crystallography.

Everything takes a  certain/definite(muayyen) form while changing it’s form.

ALLAH:

Says “ We created every thing from the water”.

He doesn’t say “I created “.

He says “ We created”.

Every thing has been created with form, weight and volume.

It is not “everything has formed”, it is “everything has been created”

Pay attention and understand the difference between!…

 

From the visible ones to the microscobic atom, this trait exists. A habba [*] of water exists in all. While water vapour is being turned in to the rain, if it is exposed to cold longer,  it turns in to snow (because it is bound to the orders commanded).

This is the crystallisation(being Billûr) of the water.

It takes a form(shape).

It gets weight while turning from water vapour to water.

While water turns in to snow, it’s weight decreases and it’s form changes.

This changing takes various forms.

Geometric and beautiful shapes…

 

[*] Habba: Small, tiny and round seed or drop. Habba has deep meanings in Islam. Term Habib also comes from this word and it means “beloved one, the one who loves, friend”.

 

In accordance with the whether condition:

Windy. Calm. Sunny. Dark.

It takes important role in crystallisation in respect of shape/form.

All snow flakes are in a hexagonal star form.

“Musaddas” means it is perfected to six.

Honey comb also has six corners.

Number six is a blessed(mubarak) number.

Right.Left.Front.Behind.Upper.Lower.

Moon.Mercury. Venus.Mars. Jupiter. Saturn.

These are also six.

 

I know why snowflake is like a six cornered star made of water, and why honey comb is six cornered. There is almost no one knowing that they announce a divine duty.

Do not attempt to think of a sarcastic word in your mind by saying “How do you know”

I will not go in for a race with anyone.

I go on foot.

There is a feeling of pudicity in human being.

 

I would be afraid of influenced shameful nafsanic [*] state which could emerge from commiting an activity that will cause the public to condemn…

 

[*] Nafsanic: This means it is related to Nafs(Self /Soul). Nafsanic state means the state of the soul. Nafs is an Arabic word. In English translations, it is translated as “ego/ self/ soul”in accordance with where used. This term is one of those mysterious words in Qur’an. It includes three letters ‘Nun’-‘Fe’-‘Sîn’. Nafs is the light(Noor) of humaneness in a person’s identity. Nafs is the light of the secret of ’sin’ within. It is the light(noor) which reflects as our personality and identity. These three letters can be explained in so many ways. There are vast knowledge about Nafs in islamic literature. Allah knows best.

 

Water is flowing “sharil sharil”[*]

It is snowing “lâpa lâpa” [*]

It is raining “damla damla”[*]

What are these?..

What is water? I don’t know…

It’s Owner says “rivers flow beneath the Garden (Jannah)[*]”…

Is it not enough to know what water is?..

Look at the water and see the Garden(Jannah)…

Drink, and get the taste of the food(Taam) of the Garden(Jannah)…

 

[*]“sharil sharil”, “lâpa lâpa”, “damla damla”: These sayings are phonetic or visual sayings related to Water, snow and rain respectively. They describe the actions of water, snow and rain while they are moving. We don’t know what Dr.Munir Derman means by using these phrases. However we can give a few commentaries here to describe some of them,“sharil sharil” might be the sound of water while flowing. As well as this, “shar” means “city” so sharil sharil may mean city by city. So the water flowing from city to city. “lâpa lâpa” is perhaps defining the flaky form of the snow. “damla damla” means “drop by drop” . It is to state the way and form of raining. The volume  is decreasing from water to snow and snow to rain.

[*] Qur’an [3/15]:

قُلْ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُم بِخَيْرٍ مِّن ذَلِكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزْوَاجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ وَرِضْوَانٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ 

Say: Shall I inform you of something better than that? For those who keep from evil, with their Lord are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pure companions, and contentment from Allah. Allah is Seer of His bondmen,

(There are so many related verses in Qur’an e.g 3/136, 3/195, 3/198, 4/13, 4/57, 4/121, 5/85, 5/119, 7/43, 8/72….)

 

 

 

 

What is Jannah ?

It is a place (mekân) from placelessness (lâ mekan) bestowed upon the slaves of ALLAH as a reward.

Mighty and blessed (mübarek)  visible element of that place in this world, in this place…

What is it ?..

Water…

 

Do not drink water while standing.

Show reverence(hürmet) to the one drinking water.

Do not make them talk.

 

Give water to plants and animals.

Do not harm animals while drinking water.

Do not frighten.

 

There is a reward (ecir) in giving water.

The reward (ecir) is the pleasure(ridha in arabic) of ALLAH .

What is “Ridha”?

Showing reverence (hürmet) to the creation of ALLAH, every thing, and the Law.

These are the words of Messenger of ALLAH (Rasulullah)…

 

ALLAH is not unjust/oppressor (Zalim)

(ALLAH) does not like the Zalims.

(ALLAH) is RAHEEM [*] in the world(dunya).

There is a surrendering/submission(inkıyad) in this.

There is a thinking(consideration).

RAHMAN relates to akhira [*].

There is forgiveness and reward hidden in this.

A reward that we are not able to know…

A compliment and a reward befitting to the Glory of ALLAH…

It is so that they would not forget RAHMAN-RAHEEM…

 

[*] Al-Akhira : Akhira is an arabic term related to Hereafter, afterlife.

[*] AR- RAHIMU (J.J) [Qur’an Ref: 1/3]  (dhatī)( الرَّحِيمُ) : the All/Most Beneficient
     AR- RAHMANU (J.J) [Qur’an Ref: 1/3]  (dhatī)( الرَّحْمَنُ) : the All/Most Merciful

 

If you have a complaint about illness and pain:

“ Have treatment.”

Have treatment not to rebel against this order!…

If you don’t have a complaint , there is no need for treatment then…

Leave it to it’s owner…

Seeking proof and evidence is for removing the doubt…

Doubt and hesitation can never come near what you believe.

 

Death is due to the law that ALLAH put in to the creation When ALLAH created the universe. Everything is perishable(mortal/temporal).

They have an end.

As it is not comprehended in this way,  every human being sees death in his own mirror. Death does not perturb the human being.

What perturbs the human being is the fear of death.

Death is not vanishing(perishing).

It is in a way like disintegrating to the atoms combining it’s essence by changing form.

As we can not understand that we were in dream unless we wake up,

We can not understand that death was a secret too…

 

Love is almost like the air of the other world.

Neither a living nor a non-living finds annihilation without it.

Nearly like the closeness of the waves to sea, love is…

 

If there is no sea, no one knows the wave.

If there is no wind,  the wave is not seen in sea.

 

There are pains in the world.

There are troubles.

There are sorrows.

These come and go.

But “loves”, No…

Love does not vanish.

It doesn’t. ( alternative translation: “It does not become”)

If It is, it is not forgotten… (alternative translation: If it becomes, it is not forgotten…)

 

Loving is not a carnal complex.

Loving is related to dimağ [*]

Love is divine(ilahi) and it is a feeling giving human being his humaneness.

This trait is ornamented with many various emotions and actions..

The mortar unifiying every thing is love.

Head of love is the love of ALLAH(God).

(It is) Ineffable.

It is not understood what a feeling it is.

It is a big thing remained within it’s own shell.

I can’t know(BileMeM)…

 

[*] Dimağ: Mind .Conscious. Conscience. 

 

Human being loves his spouse

Loves his mother.

Loves his father.

Loves his children(Evlat).

Loves every thing.

But He can not describe this…

 

People try to fit it in to words, and the relationships in the actions.

And it has remained so.

In the MeaNing ( MâNâ [*]), in that much.

 

[*] MâNâ: MaNa is the main set up becoming cause for the action and work. It is the inner face of something. E.g “Suffering is to live the MaNa of the questions in the test of life.”

 

Rasul said : “I was made to love” [*].

This means as much as it can be understood.

If it was said  “I loved”, the meaning(the essence and the truth of it)   would have been understood.

 

[*] Hadith : “I was made to love three things from your world: women, and perfume, and the comfort of my eye is in salat.”

 

There is no logic , mind(akıl) in Love.

 

I was made to love woman : Intercourse is a worship(ibadat).

I was made to love perfume: It is the perfume of woman.

(Pay attention!) this is to be contended with the other worldly favours(nimet).

I was made to love Salah(prayer/worship): This is to turn towards the love of ALLAH(God).

 

The path that you will walk on, is to follow the foot prints of Rasul, and to conform to his sayings…

That is all…

 

In the world: Human, Animal, Plant and Mineral changes in accordance with

The continent.

Region,

And Climate …

 

There are big differences in the poles, in mild places, and  in hot places…

Louse, Flea, Bed bug, Insect, Fly, Ant, Butterfly, Spider, Bee, And Microbe do not exist in poles.

Their animals are different.

There is no Bird, no Plant, no Mine, no Canary, no sparrow, no swallow, no stork, no Crow, no Elephant, no Lion, no Cat, Tiger, no Snake, no Monkey, no Vegetable, no Olive, no Date, no Fig, no Pomegranate, Apple, no pear, no Grape, no Mulberry,

 

The ones being in hot and mild countries do not exist in cold countries.

There are no black people or black man in poles.

People of diverse areas are different.

Places where they live are different.

White race.

Yellow race.

Black race.

Red race.

 

They are in separate places.

There are a lot of differences between those as well.

There are even differences in their blood types.

 

After all: The world is a forest, enter there!

Go around but let there be no axe in your hand!

 

This is surrendering to destiny(qadar) in the harmony(aheng) of the world.

Harmony in the world is the destiny.

 

When this harmony is upset, we are calling this ‘coincidence’.

There is no such thing called ‘coincidence’.

There is no such thing called ‘upsetting’ either.

We say qaza [*].

We say foreordination, Destiny(qadar), allotted share(qismat).

We are confirming this harmonical consciousness.

We are not aware of it.

If the adverse happens , we battle physically and mentally against.

 

[*]Qaza and Qadar:

Qaza is in Arabic qadā’, Farsi/Urdu qazā’:  divine decree, predestination; fate, destiny; fatality; death; decree, mandate, judgment. In esoteric usage, qazā is the will of ALLAH (Muradullah).

Qadar is in Arabic  qadr:  measuring, determining; deciding, choosing, comparing one thing with another; measuring out; portion, part. Qadar is the manifestation of the divine decree.

Qaza and Qadar is like divine will(Iradullah) and free-will (juz-i- irada). There is no choice in Qaza because it is related to the Dhatullah(essence of GOD), but Qadar is based on choices in this test of life. The choices are also based on naseeb and qismat. Qaza can not be known by anyone but ALLAH j.j. Qaza means the Divine, indisputable decree regarding the creation of events and phenomena and Qadar means their measure size of events to happen.

 

 

The war is a word covering up the sins of the committed murders.

It is born from the hatred (spite/enmity).

The hatred does not ease the pain.

The revenge increases the pain of another person.

The hatred is born again from that.

This continues like that…

 

The hatered is like drinking salty water.

More you drink, more your thirst increases

 

Killing does not bring honour to human.

Killing is not an act of courage.

It is the act of cowards.

 

‘Killer’(Katil), is the name given to the one killing.

It’s description by religion(Din) is : the one on whom the penalty for the act of removing the spirit from the body was got(assigned) (Cesetten ruhu izale eden fiil-i müessirin müterakibi).

This is a description in Religion(şer’i) and it is very interesting.

This needs to be read again and again.

It’s description by law is : the one who kills whether by arm and poision or by other means.

These descriptions are in accordance with ‘Fiqh’.

‘Fiqh’ means to know.

İt is the knowing of what is in favour and against of Nafs-Insaniyya’s himself  by contemplation. 

 

Behaving good towards everything will bring honour(dignity) to human being.

There is a big difference between the expressions ‘bringing honour(causing to earn honour)’ and ‘giving honour’.

Bringing honour(causing to earn honour): it announces that the merit (fazilet) and exalted feelings in human being has begun to function.

Giving honour: it is the warning of using these exalted feelings.

 

This writing is finishing here.

Tomorrow, you will watch me in my absence.

In my words remaining in your mind(aql).

In the things reminding me.

In my writings, in my voices you will watch.

He/She will perhaps be the only one person showing wafa [*] to me. (Alternative translation to this sentence: Perhaps there will even only be one person showing wafa to me.)

 

[*] Wafa means to be loyal to his word and oath, to be loyal and connected to someone with love. 

 

I got old.

My eyes don’t see.

My legs don’t support (me).

I can’t breathe.

There is no one close to me…

(I see closenesses, I see concerns, I am getting jealous)

of Who ?

I can’t know…

I am all alone in every way.

I can’t see the ones whom I love.

I can’t see the manifesting beauties of my friends…

The one who seeks for me is in my writings,

let him seek in my books [*]…

I am being burried in them…

Who are my writings written for?…

To Him…

 

[*] Alternative translation: “the one seeking for me, should seek me in my writings and in my books”.
