DIVINE (ILAHI) VIBRATIONS
Dr.Munir Derman (Kadesallahu Sirrehu)
Not being heard
Can not be heard (inaudible)
Can not be seen(Invisible)
Vibrations
Sounds
Lights
The atoms which are difficult to be reached by mind(aql)
The –origin(membağ) where all emerge from.
The VeRSe: “Falā ‘Uqsimu Bil-Khunnasi Al-Jawāri Al-Kunnasi ” [1].
Divine vibrations which are not heard and can not be heard by ear,
Divine noor and lights that can not be seen by eye,
Infallible dances of atoms which are linked to a discipline and difficult to be reached by mind…
All of those are emerging from a source which is beyond the conjecture and thought…
Give whatever name you can for it!.
Say Atom.
Say black point. Whatever you say, they are all one.
In order to get rid of the suffocation, mental thought will say:
Maqam-i Mahmud.
Black point.
THAT is…
Your mind will get stuck on this THAT.
Say “Khunnas and Kunnas” to that by the word of ALLAH.
ALLAH is swearing by the stars and their positions(locations), here.
What is “Khunnas and Kunnas”?
Atom has a nucleus.
They call this neutron.
There are electrons orbitting around it in accordance with it’s gender from right to left in an inconceivable speed.
This normal orbitting is called “KHUNNAS” in the language of ALLAH.
When these electrons spin from left to right in opposite direction, they are separated from the nucleus.
We call this “KUNNAS”, “ION” in applied science.
There are electrons which are close to and far from the nucleus.
They leave the atom by colliding with each other due to chemical, physical, magnetic or electirical reactions.
For these reasons, detaching an electron from an atom, the subject of ”ionisation” will arise.
It is possible to send electrons moving their vibrations away from the nucleus, back to their places again.
These actions happen at one billionth of a second(nanosecond) time.
It is impossible to perceive it.
These sound vibrations are called “photon”.
Some objects do not transmit the electricity.
The magnets do not pull some.
In short, they are not a complete transmitter(Naql).
Say “ALLAH” and get out of this swamp of knowledge…
These vibrations have consciousness as regards to themselves.
They are infallible(they don’t get confused)
They are in a state of dance(raks) orderly and continually…
They are all -originated this way( created this way) .
They are from the Creator, from ALLAH…
ALLAH is swearing by their conscious, orderly and continual functioning, and by their places. There are deep meanings in these swearings.
He is swearing to prove who ALLAH is right against.
God forbid!There is not anything like that.
In this case, there is another secret(Sirr) in this swearing…
Without constraining and harming your thought and mind(aql)…
The mind(aql) given by Allah has a limit too.
That is hidden inside that swearing.
If you understand this, the whole power(kudrat) will be within you, and then you can use…
Strive(make effort) to understand what we are saying!
We are not saying “work on”.
Striving is something, and working on is another thing.
The term, “swearing” here and all of these mean:
“ That is true, it is My work. You too confirm it!”
All of these “swearings” (Yemin) are in the surahs [2] revealed in Mecca.
As well as this, ayats of sajda are also in the surahs in Mecca…
Those vibrations existing physically and spiritually, will make the hidden(batin: inner, inward, hidden, spiritual) vibrations perceived as physical(zaheer: manifested, visible, outer) vibrations, and make the matter visible to the human eye. The vibration from the work of “Kun Fa Ya Kun” [*].
[*] Moment of creation. This means the vibration sensed when the nonexistent at that moment(“An” in Turkish language) becomes existence at the current moment.
From those,
The vibrations facing the matter : Atoms…
The vibrations facing spiritual side and soul(rooh): Divine (ilahi) vibrations…
The Creator transmit those vibrations to Rasul [3] by putting between the ones as a transmitter(medium) that are necessary to contact with human being.
We call this “wahy” [4].
Those lights(noors), that can not be heard by ears and can not be seen by eyes, are converted in to letters in Rasul’s body.
The letters in to the words(kalimahs), and the words in to the meaningful sentences.
The sentences (jumlas) that we will hear from the mouth of Rasul as “VeRSe(ayat)” , Kelamullah(word of Allah) that we will understand, are coming from the blessed(Mubarak) mouth of Rasul in the form of VeRSe(ayat).
We are calling all of these “Qur’an-i Kareem”, “Word of ALLAH(ALLAH’ın Kelâmı)”.
Be careful, we are not saying “ALLAH kelamı”, we are saying “Word of ALLAH” [*].
There is a difference.
Think of it and comprehend!
This matter is very important…
[*]Translator: Dear reader, this type of saying can not be defined in English language so I left Turkish words as they are in Turkish. As far as I understand, Dr.Munir Derman(K.S) is drawing attention to the difference between two different ways of expressing “word of God: Kelamullah”. This is like In previous sentences he explained that until the verse was coming out of the lips of Rasulullah(SAW), it had to pass through different stages and the words of GOD were heard from the blessed mouth of Rasulullah SAW not from ALLAH directly. That is why we can not say “ALLAH kelami”. If we had said “ALLAH kelamı” for “Qur’an-i Kareem”, in Turkish sounding, we would have put the Rasulullah SAW in the position of “ALLAH” and this would be shirk(associating partnership to Allah). Rasulullah SAW would be ALLAH and this would be a wrong way of saying. Although the words belong to ALLAH, they are being heard from Rasul’s mouth after stages, not ALLAH directly. We are not hearing it DIRECTLY from ALLAH, that is why we can not say “ALLAH kelamı” but instead we say “the word of ALLAH: ALLAH’ın kelamı”. Because in the way of saying “the word of ALLAH” , there is posessiveness. This means ”Word belongs to ALLAH” but the voice is the Rasul’s voice. This is what I understand humbly. Allah knows best. Please refer to original Turkish version for a better of understanding!..
This word is in Arabic, because Rasul was speaking in Arabic. While the word was being transmit to Rasul, it was in “ALLAH”ish(in the language of ALLAH).
Those divine vibrations are coming out of Rasul’s blessed computer in the form of Arabic..
That is why , it is a necessity to know the path (essence or morale) of Rasul in order to understand “Qur’an”.
The Qur’an is the name of the all word of ALLAH being revealed (being wahyed) to Rasul.
He himself gave the name of “The Qur’an” .
185th verse in Surah al-Baqara states that Qur’an started to be sent down(revealed) in the month of Ramadan , in the night of Power (Qadr) [5] .
Why is it Ramadan?
Why is it the night of power(Laylat-ul-qadr)?
When the Qur’an started to be sent down, neither there was Ramadan nor the night of power was being known.
Where is it coming down to? Where is it coming down from? From where to where?…
This matter is a different matter.
Restrain your mind(aql)!..
In this case, the Qur’an is the name of the word in ALLAHish, revealed to the heart(kalb) of Rasul.
The Qur’an –i Kareem can not be translated to any language.
The translation work can never take the place of real(asl) Qur’an.
The sounds do not change.
Below the sounds coming out while reciting the Qur’an, “divine vibrations” that bring them in to existence and can not be heard by ear, loose themselves in the grandeur of the word of ALLAH(kelamullah) by influencing the human’s spirit.
Arabic coming from the Rasul’s chest/innermost heart is ALLAHish in reality.
Hence, those vibrations make him lose the strength and power(quwwat and qudrat) of wrong pronunciation.
The revelation(wahy) has continued for 23 years.
Ayat : It means proof, sign, a word of command by ALLAH or the revelation.
There are 6247 ayats in the Qur’an-i Kareem.
If “Besmeles” [6] are added as well, it adds up to 6320 .
Ayat and chapters(surahs) got written and arranged by Rasul-i Akram. But it was not bound to a book.
“Be Careful !“ , it was only learned by heart.
93 surahs: were sent down in Mecca and
21 surahs: in Madina.
The prostration(Sajda) is made at 14 places in Qur’an –i Kareem.
When these ayats are recited, it is an obligation(fardh) to the ear hearing it, to the mouth reciting it, and to the spirit(rooh)by “As-Sami: The Hearer of All”.
It was sent down(inzal) in the chapter, ”Al-Hajj” in Mecca(Qur’an 22/18):
“Whosoever is in the Heavens and on the Earth(Be careful, Not on the earths! But it is said in the Heavens.), samawat(heavens), ardh(the earth), the Sun(shams), the Moon, the Stars, the Mountains and the trees are prostrating. Did you know that? You can not know!..” [7]
The verses of Sajda are in the chapters sent down in Mecca. They are not in the chapters revealed in Madina.
Why is it? There is a reason for this.
There is a very important wisdom(hikmat) in Sajda-e- Tilawat. It bears one of the secrets(SIRRs) of gaining the control of spirit(rooh) over the body(jasad).
We said Qur’an-I Kareem is in ALLAHish.
That is true.
Therefore, by catching the human spirit(rooh-ul-insan) from the very depths(from lubbu’l-lub=from kernel of kernel)of it, human’s nafs-i jasad says “let’s walk together in the rightway!” not to deviate from Haqq-Hayr(Truth-Good) on the path of Servanthood test between the absolute spirit(Mânâ) and restricted (Muqayyad) material…
This is not sufficient by deed (Amal) either.
Fasting, Salah, Hajj, Zakat, these are the commanded duties(amals).
These are required to be raised in to the level of “Amal-i Saleeh”.
These decrees are the ways to reach ALLAH with a pure face.
To do these in a state which is full of love and self-denial…
Saying “ I have come to complete the morals(ahlaq)![8]” , the morals in here is not the opposite of immorality.
It is the state of doing the orders with love, righteousness, and purity towards everything.
There is no lying, mischief-making(fitna)or gossipping(giybat)…
The mankind supposedly setting up kingdom in the heavens in this century, can not go to HAKK(THE TRUTH) by seeing the help of the Messenger of Allah(Rasulullah) as unnecessary.
It is not possible to walk on this path without the prophet holding from our hand and arm.
The eye of the heavens is on the ground.
The eye of the grounds is in the heaven.
Janab-i ALLAH gave our grand fathers the ability of speaking with the earth(soil). What did the one who heard this say:
“My loyal beloved is the black soil” [9].
You have been created from it and shall return to it.
That is the path…
This remark is a very big word…
It is the expression of the GODLY word by the word of a human(insan).
Christians plead in their prayers to ALLAH so that their daily bread will be given and heavenly kingdom will come to them. Heavenly kingdom has been established on the earth by the emergence of Rasulullah (SAW). Prophet Jesus(Isa a.s) pointed out that this will happen.
The Bible-Mark 1-15…
In fact the islam(muslim) does not beg for bread(sustenance).
Rizq(Sustenence) has been guaranteed by ALLAH.
Asking for it insistently is regarded as reminding, and this would not be appropriate.
That is why our grand fathers used to know how to talk with the earth…
The one committing evil work will definitely regret one day.
Why?
That “Why” is the point of solution.
Ayat(verse), “Oh My Habib , every one will die. You will die too” [10] , is being revealed.
Ayat does not say “Muhammad” here.
Says “My Habib” . Why?..
The term,“Âmin” is from Asma-i Ilahiyya(divine name) meaning :
“Yâ Rabbana , accept it. May It be so. May you do it so!”.
Friends to ALLAH : Friends chosen by ALLAH.
There are seas of difference between them.
There is no difference , one of them is something, the other one is completely another thing.
Friends chosen by ALLAH: ALLAH made them wear a cloth made of knowledge(ilm) and wisdom(hikmat).
The ones looking at their outer appearance(Zaheer) can not see anything.
A spiritual veil is stretched over them and ALLAH hides them from the eye (not the eyes!) of the onlookers.
Watch the word. There is a veil here too…
Don’t think about it anymore(be “Asûde hatır “ )
The term,” Asuda” is a Persian word.
It is used in our language a lot.
“Asûde hatır” : It means “be calm”, “be in tranquillity”, “relax”.
That word is a word which, is said sincerely, has no sanctimony(show off) , gives trust.
A man who is reliable, honest, truthful, never telling lie, can say that word coming from the very depths of human spirit.
We used to have a history book called “History of Patchawi”.
In that book, there are a lot of words like that.
Especially, when it is narrating the Hungarian war in the period of Kanuni Sultan Sulaiman(Magnificient Sulaiman), (if you had read it)you would understand how honest and trustworthy the people were at that time…
The Vizier(commander)’s order to the soldiers during the military expedition was this:
“Do not walk on the crop fields! That is a reminding order”…
In fact the commander already know that the soldiers would not do that.
Answer of the soldiers to the commander:
“be Asûde hatır our Vizier!..“
“Zulm (oppression)” [11] is worse than “Kufr (infidelity) [12]”.
Addressee of the Zulm(oppression) is the oppressed one.
The prayer of the real oppressed one will reach to it’s target without any transporter between( him and ALLAH). Your head goes, but real oppressed one does not make dua(does not pray to ALLAH to complain about the oppressor).
He feels ashamed of praying…
ALLAH already sees and knows!…
Then that alters matters…

He senses.
He senses but…
He does not fling it your face because of his manners(as a courtesy).
He covers it. Good scent ascends up, and evil odour ascends up too…
Listening to the troubles of the afflicted is like some sort of giving alm(zakat) to the afflicted.
Affliceted man has a fumy heart house that is full of hesitation.
If you listen to his trouble, you will have opened a window to that house.
The one who sees a fault(within the others) can not even sense the scent of Alam-ul Ghayb (World of Unseen).
The sun shines on the mountain as well as gold…
In front of a drunken, both trench and an open space are same(one)…
Strange is this world.
Look, Listen:
The Sea speaks with Musa(Prophet Moses A.S).
The Wind carries Sulaiman(Prophet Solomon A.S).
The Iron becomes as soft as wax in the hand of Daud (Prophet David A.S).
The Moon splits in two by the fingers of Rasul (Prophet Muhammad SAW).
The Fire is turned in to a rose garden for Ibrahim( Prophet Abraham A.S).
The Earth swallows Qarun like a snake.
Hannana column talks.
The Stone gives Salaam to Ahmad.
These events remain silent to those who do not understand them.
Because they are “namahram” .
Treasures are found within the wrecks.
The Heart has a cornerless corner, find that place!..
There is a hadith saying “being pleased with kufr is kufr: showing ridha to kufr is kufr [13]“.
Kufr is with the discretion/will (taqdeer ) of Allah not with His command(order).
Be careful!
The man falls in to disgrace in here…
This means , Kufr is not the command and consent of ALLAH(Allah is not pleased with ”Kufr” and He does not order “kufr” to people )
They are from the traces of Qaza and Qadar [14].
Read here again and again and understand, then continue!
An awful painting is not because of the painter being awful.
No bread will reinstate to wheat in threshing floor again.
No grape will ever revert to unripe grape again.
Ripened fruit does not reinstate to early fruit again.
If paid attention, a new cycle opens (starts) in the world in every instant.
The new gets old.
But does not die.
Is not lost.
It appears(seems) like that.
It burgeons again.
It shoots out branches and spreads in to the universe but this spreading does not happen easily.
From the point of view that we understand it with difficulty…
‘Afa`ayīnā Bil-Khalqi Al-’Awwali Bal Hum Fī Labsin Min Khalqin Jadīdi” is a verse [15].
Grace(Rahmat) falls upon the head of green burgeon and penetrates in to it’s heart(gonul).
As long as this grace(rahmat) touches the head.
And penetrate in to the heart.
If it finds a predisposition(ability) on top of it, The grace (rahmat) pours down from the heaven.
It falls in to everybody’s heart drop by drop.
Did you understand
The value of Rasul-i Akram who is grace to all worlds?..
The rain falls on to a sea bird as well as a mother-of-pearl…
Mother- of- pearl takes one drop and it becomes a pearl.
But the same drop becomes a burden for the other.
Human spirit has remained(has been limited) in the borders of positive
science.
They use umbrella against the rain…
Man should learn the art of burning, it’s deep meaning and burning in the
fire from the moth, While he is still alive in this world.
Be colour…
The wind takes the scent…
There is colour in the dream.
If you pay attention, there is no scent(in dream).
The scent belongs to the world.
Do not be under the assumption that this world is a dream!
Even if a hand is cut in a dream, there is no harm.
ALLAH created his servants(abd) without the effort of servants.
He gave the trust as a burden on their necks without asking their wishes.
His wish and purpose(murad) is to show Himself.
“I was a hidden treasure and I wanted to be seen” [16].
If He does not help them while they are in these states, Who will help…
“I was a treasure” says He.
He created the universe and the treasure has been dispersed. In this case,
it is HIM who is within everything, but everything is not HIM.
Be careful with these words and understand, it is difficult but…
The world, which does not exist in reality(in haqiqat), seems as if it
exists…
The world which exist, hides it’s self. It seems as if it is nonexistent…
Dexterity is to be a diamond like ring on a corner in the chain of “Yu’minuna bil ghayb” [17].
“Imame” [18] of this neckless is found in the tasbihs[19] as you know.
It is the Seal of Prophethood (Muhr-u Nubuvvat) found on the blessed(Mubarak) back of Rasulu Akram.
When he submit his supreme(noble) spirit(Ruh-u mualla), this seal has disappeared.
The man who knows the truth(hakikat) of this, is a fortunate person, who does not contaminate his worship with show-off(riya) and there is no impermissible(haram) in his stomach, and there is no trickery and lie in his work.
I wish my tounge started talking so that I could explain you the enemy of your heart:
The brave ones would be scared to death.
You would not have power to walk on the road.
You can not even do (prayer)salah.
Generosity is required to be able to see an unseen world.
Once a person had come to Shibli :
“There are a lot of people whom I have to be responsible for.
I am in hardship and (financial) difficulty.
Can you show me a way out!” said he.
Shibli:
“Go home immediately! Kick out whomever you see at home, whose sustenance (rizq) depends upon you! Whomever you see that, whose sustenance depend on ALLAH, let them stay at home!” said he.

GLOSSARY AND REFERENCES FROM QUR’AN:
[1] Qur’an [At-Takwir 81/15-16]:
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
“Falā ‘Uqsimu Bil-Khunnasi, Al-Jawāri Al-Kunnasi:
So verily I call to witness the Planets that recede. Go straight, or hide;
[2] Oaths or Swearings in Qur’an: ALLAH swears by a lot of things in Qur’an e.g. Qur’an ([103/1], [89/1-4], [93/1], [92/1-3], [52/75]….) and these swearings have deep meanings. Allah draws attention to these verses and He says “There surely is an oath for thinking man”[ Al-Fajr 89/6].
[3] Rasul : Rasul is translated as messenger to English language but the term “Messenger” will only limit the meaning of this word. The term, “Rasul” has very comprehensive meanings. We can look in to the syllables , “Ra” and “Sul”. In Arabic , “SALL”, “SUL”, SALAH” , “SALAWAT”, “SALAM”, “SILA” have similar root etymologically. “SUL” is like SILA and “SILA” means the Tie. In English the word SALUte and SALVATion also come from similar root. SILA is like a connecting tie. “RA” shows the subject doing it. Rasul means the one who will connect you or take you back in the right direction(istiqamat). IRSAL means the transportation, to carry or to send. Rasul is the one who has the authority to get the SILA done. Rasul takes ROOH(Spirit) back to ALLAH. Because the spirit(ROOH) is from ALLAH. RASUL is the one who will make the Risala(revelation, message) appear. RASUL makes you “SALL” to ALLAH , connects you to ALLAH. SALL means to reach somewhere. RASUL is the one who will make you reach where you come from. That is why in Qur’an ALLAH says:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
İnnellahe ve melaiketehu yüSALLUne alen nebiyy ya eyyühellezine amenu SALLU aleyhi ve SALLImu taSLIMa: Allah and His Angels send blessing on the Prophet: o ye that believe send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. [Qur’an 33/56].
[4] Wahy: Wahy means to inspire or to communicate in a manner that is not obvious or apparent to anyone else in a swift manner.The word has been used in a number of places in the Qur’aan. Wahy is the revelation of an opinion, a truth and a commandment by Allah(j.j) to His prophets. In literature, wahy maycome to following meanings: the word(kelam), book(kitap), sign(isharat), to send or carry(irsal), divine inspiration(ilham), notification or explanation(ifham), commandment(Amr), stating or communicating some particular aims(Tabliğ).
[5] Night of power: This is “Laylat Al-Qadr” mentioned in Qur’an[97/1-5]. Layl means night and “Qadr” means the power(Qudrat),”Qadar” means the Destiny. Laylat Al-Qadr is the anniversary of the night the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad(SAW) by the angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic). It is also the anniversary of the night in which the Quran is believed by Muslims to have been revealed in its entirety.
In the name of God(Bismillah), the Benevolent(Ar-Rahman), the Merciful(Ar-Raheem).
1 Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Predestination(Laylatil Qadr).
2 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
3 The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
4 The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.
5 (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn. [Qur’an 97/1-5]
[6] Besmele: Besmele is saying “Bismillah-Ar-Rahman –Ar-Raheem:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ”. This means “In the name of ALLAH, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”. Besmele is a verse from ALLAH in Qur’an. Chapters of Qur’an start with this verse. As every verse, “Bismillahirrahmanirrahiym” has so deep meanings which does not fit in to the books. Numberless amount of scholars wrote different meanings of Besmele , as it is so comprehensive.
[7] Qur’an [Al-Hajj 22/18]:
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ وَمَن يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاء
‘Alam Tará ‘Anna Allāha Yasjudu Lahu Man Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Man Fī Al-’Arđi Wa Ash-Shamsu Wa Al-Qamaru Wa An-Nujūmu Wa Al-Jibālu Wa Ash-Shajaru Wa Ad-Dawābbu Wa Kathīrun Mina An-Nāsi Wa Kathīrun Ĥaqqa `Alayhi Al-`Adhābu Wa Man Yuhini Allāhu Famā Lahu Min Mukrimin ‘Inna Allāha Yaf`alu Mā Yashā‘u:
Seest thou not that To Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, The sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among Mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace, none can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.
[8] Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) states that he was sent to complete moral virtues (Muvatta, “Husn al-Huluq” 8; Ahmed ibn Hanbal, Musnad, II, 381)
[9] “My loyal beloved is the black earth”: This saying is from the poem called “Black Earth” written by Asik Veysel. To have information about Asik Veysel, please see the following link in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C5%9F%C4%B1k_Veysel_%C5%9Eat%C4%B1ro%C4%9Flu
[10] Qur’an [Al-Zumar 39/30]:
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ
‘Innaka Mayyitun Wa ‘Innahum Mayyitūna:
Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day).
[11] Zulm: It is the Arabic word used interchangablely for cruelty or unjust acts of exploitation, oppression, and wrong doing, whereby a person either deprives others of their rights or does not fulfill his obligations towards them.
People who commit zulm are called zalim-een.
In the Islamic context injustice or acts of cruelty are attributed to human acts and not to Allah:
ALLAH does not do injustice to anyone. It is the people who do injustice to themselves (11 : 101).
Zulm means” putting something to a place where it does not belong to”. Injustice and infliction. Zulmat in Arabic means darkness. Human nafs has the ability to go up or down between ILLIYYOON and ASFALEEN. In a way making zulm to their nafs means you waste it and burry it in to darkness and put it in the direction of ASFALEEN. If the human nafs is purified, it shines. Nafs is like a sponge, so it can soak up good or evil qualities. It is us who needs to use the sponge in right way. A wise person dips his sponge in the paint bucket of ALLAH and his sponge gets the colours of ALLAH( SIBGATULLAH), as it says in the verse,
” We take our colour from Allah, and who is better than Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.”[Al-Bakara 02/138].
This means the person gets the beautiful moralities and qualities of ALLAH. However the person making Zulm to his nafs , dips his nafs in to evil qualities and he gets coloured with evil qualities then he stays in darkness(Zulmat).
[12 & 13] “Kufr” & “showing ridha to kufr is kufr”: Kufr is translated as disbelief in to english language but it comes from the term kafara which means to cover. Kufr is to cover the Truth within the essence of a person by his bashariyyat or disbelief. When a person shows disbelief to the truth within his own essence, he ignores this reality by saying I am an independent person and I do whatever I like, I do not have a creator and there is nothing within my essence than my self. He says I am Ar-Rabb. When he does this, he does not carry out the activities and duties in islam which is going to help him to bring out the Truth within himself. That is why this person will cover the Truth within his own essence and will become kafeer. This action is called Kufr. When one is pleased with this condition within himself(in his own nafs) and within the others in society is also in kufr. Because Allah is not pleased with “kufr” which is mentioned in
Qur’an Al-Zumar [39/7]:
If ye reject (Allah), truly Allah hath no need of you; but He liketh not ingratitude(Kufr) from His servants: if ye are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. In the End, to your Lord is your Return, when He will tell you the truth of all that ye did (in this life). For He knoweth well all that is in (men’s) hearts.
[14] Qaza and Qadar:
Arabic ﻗﻀﺎء qadā’, Farsi/Urdu qazā’: divine decree, predestination; fate, destiny; fatality; death; decree, mandate, judgment. In esoteric usage, qazā is often used to describe the unlimited, Divine aspect of life.
Arabic ﻗﺪﺮ qadr: measuring, determining; deciding, choosing, comparing one thing with another; measuring out; portion, part. Although qadr is considered by some to indicate destiny or pre-determination, qadr may be used to describe the limited, measured-out, part of life called free-will.
Qaza and Qadar is like divine will(Iradullah) and free-will (juz-i- irada).
[15] Qur’an [Al-Qaf 50/15]:
أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ
‘Afa`ayīnā Bil-Khalqi Al-’Awwali Bal Hum Fī Labsin Min Khalqin Jadīdin:
Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
[16] ”I was a hidden treasure, so I loved to be known (Keşfu’l-hafâ, II, 132, hadis: 2016)”
[17] Qur’an [Al-Bakara 2/3]:
الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
Al-Ladhīna Yu’uminūna Bil-Ghaybi Wa Yuqīmūna Aş-Şalāata Wa Mimmā Razaqnāhum Yunfiqūna:
Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;
[18 & 19] Imame and Tasbih:
A large bead(imame) through which the two ends of a string of prayer beads(tasbih) are passed and then tied to a tassel.
The tasbih(misbaha) is similar to the rosary in Christian religion. It is used to do tasbihat which involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying ALLAH, in Islam.
