Many thanks for your nice comments and contribution to our web blog.

It is certainly a difficult path and Insan-i Kamil knows things that we do not know. There are filters on that path filtering the intentions of the people to know who is seeking what.

There are those who :
*seek knowledge to give nice speeches to effect the people,
*seek knowledge to do karamats, fly in the air or walk on the water,
*seek knowledge to gain powers to effect the others and dominate them.
*or seek knowledge to genuinely know themselves(Nasf) to know their Rabb and meaning of his creation.

it is said in a qudthi hadith “He who knows his Nafs(self) knows his Rabb (Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqud ‘arafa rabbahu)”. Rabb and God are different titles. Allah is a Rabb but Rabb is a special word. When Allah creates a being , Allah becomes Rabb. Because the moment a being is created, that being will need fostering, minding, sustenance etc. Rabb is the one who does all of these for the creation. Allah is Rabb because of this. Rabb is within the central point of human’s subtleties(Letaifs). Rabb is within the point of Nafsi Aqdas. Please refer to the circular drawing on the link below: http://www.muhammedinur.com/En/islam/kaabah-of-servanthoodabdiyyat-and-enlightenment-kamalat.html

That point is like a bottomless black hole. Allah(God) can not be known by our limited Aql(intellect). Aql(intellect) it’s self is a creation of Allah. A creation can not comprehend the creator. That is why Dr.Munir Derman (K.S), a waliyullah(a saint in islam) says Allah has not created a cell within human brain that can comprehend him.

Hz.Ebubakir (R.A) said “Comprehending Allah is to know that Allah is incomprehensible”.

Rumi(K.S) says,”you can not arrive in God by reaching to the levels of maturity in mind and intellect. Beneficience and bounty of the King does not accept any body but those who accept their inability.”

we can not carry secrets if we are not insan-i kamil..

so we must to try to be insan-i kamil and bring upp our NEFIS..

we can not do it ourself because we are not insan-i kamil so we need help..

we must to find en person who is insan-i kamil like GAVS…

AND we must to hold his hand and promise to ALLAH C.C we will not do sin ( tövbe-i NASUH)

then he will teach us how we can bring upp our nefis..

this is only one way to do it.. it is ZIKIR….

ANYWAY IT IS TOO HARD TO CARRY SECRETS…

so we must to do FARZ, SUNNET AND ZIKIR FOR BRING UPP OUR NEFIS..

BECAUSE IF WE KNOW OUR NEFIS THEN WE WILL KNOW OUR GOD TOO..

NEFIS IS THE OUR ENEMY AFTER SATAN ON THE WAY TO GO ALLAH C.C…

SECRETS …..
THEY ARE NOT SO MUCH IMPORTENT TO KNOW ON THE WAY… THEY CAN CHEAT US EASYLY..

thats why we need insan-i kamil… we can never trust to secrets ,too. we can not know they are correct .. only insan-i kamil can know this things..

I see people trying to learn mysteries of the universe to do magical tricks like Harry Potter

If people take Rasulullah SAW as an example for themselves and learn the manners and act accordingly, that is very well and it is expected that doors of the knowledge would be opened for him. But if they follow Harry Potters , all they will get will be a broom stick , I guess

If such person realize this by reading this document, I would advise him not to waste this broom stick. Because it was not given to him for no reason. Meaning of it is to start sweeping the Harry Potters from the path of Allah. Sweep with it , the dirt from your manners, your heart and your ego by following the path of ALLAH and His Rasul(SAW).

Everything in islam is in the middle. Ayats are there, hadiths are there openly but it is us who is not finding it, understanding it, becoming it and living it. Knowledge is open but we have a problem with extracting it rightly. We are not being like a honey bee mentioned in Qur’an in Surah An- Nahl 16/68-69.

If we do not approach to knowledge with Muhammadi adab(manner), we can not make progress in our spiritual life, then the terms e.g sunnah, Qur’an , becomes only in our tongues not tasted, known and lived by us. Instead, We keep doing lip service to it. If we say that we drank a cup of tea, this means we drank it, we tasted it and it is within our cells. But today, many of us are talking about this and saying “I had a cup of tea” then having an imaginary cup of tea.

With devotion(sadaqat), patience(sabr) and sincerity(samimiyat) in learning and practicing Qur’an and Sunnat of Rasulullah(SAW), We hope that a muslim will journey to him self to know him self and find the truth, know the truth and live the truth. As , it is said in a qudthi hadith “He who knows his Nafs(self) knows his Rabb (Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqud ‘arafa rabbahu)”.

There are certain knowledge that they can not be understood by everybody because raw(immature/ not enlightened)people may not be in the level of understanding, or a stomach which could digest that knowledge may not have developed within them selves yet. Learning that sort of knowledge could cause problem within the system of immature people. For instance a hadith below shows the example of hiding that sort of knowledge from people:

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah’s Apostle . I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed).
Our master, Latif Yildiz says “a secret which is opened before it’s time is a poison to the seeker”. As well as this everyone knows the story of Moses and Hidir A.S mentioned in Qur’an. I advise people to read Surah Al-Kehf carefully but learn it from a waliyullah not from a theologian :
Al-Kahf [18/65]
Then found they one of Our slaves, unto whom We had given mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our presence.
[18/66]
Moses said unto him: May I follow thee, to the end that thou mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast been taught?
[18/67]
He said: Lo! thou canst not bear with me.
[18/68]
How canst thou bear with that whereof thou canst not compass any knowledge?
[18/69]
He said: Allah willing, thou shalt find me patient and I shall not in aught gainsay thee.
[18/70]
He said: Well, if thou go with me, ask me not concerning aught till I myself make mention of it unto thee.

I would like to give a part of Al-Ghazzali’s Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din translated by NABIH AMIN FARIS below in order to shed light on this subject a little more :

This Quotation is on Page 182 of the book.

[ …Sahl-ibn-‘Abdullah al-Tustari once said, “The learned men, the worshippers, and the ascetics departed from this life with their hearts closed; only the hearts of the saints and the martyrs were opened.” He quoted the words of Allah when He said, “And with Him
are the keys of the secret things; none knoweth them but He.”1 And had it not been for the fact that the enlightenment of the heart of him who has a heart with the inner light determines the esoteric knowledge (‘ilm al-zahir) the Prophet would not have said, “Consult thy heart whenever they should recommend something to thee and give thee a dispensation to do it.” Then he said on the authority of his Allah, “The servant will continue to draw near unto Me with supererogatory works and meritorious deeds (nawafil) until he wins My favour, at which time I shall be his ears and his eyes.”2 Many are the subtle meanings of the mysteries of the Qur’an which dawn upon the hearts of those who have devoted themselves to invocation (dhikr) and reflection (fikr), but are not found in the books of commentary and remain unknown to the best commentators. Yet when such meanings are revealed to the watchful devotee (murid) and are then brought to the attention of commentators they would deem them good and would realize that they are the outcome of the workings of a pure heart and the gracious blessings of Allah on the high mind which aspires to Him.

Similarly the science of revelation (mukashafah) and the secrets of the science of practical religion (mu ‘amalah) as well as the subtleties of the passing thoughts (khawatir) of the heart are, each and every one of them, seas the depths of which are too great to be sounded and can be traversed by seekers only to the extent to which each of them has been given the power and the ability to do good.

Describing such men, ‘Ali, in the course of a long conversation, said, “The hearts are like vessels; the best among them is that which can hold the most of good. Men are of three kinds: divine (rabbani) learned men, seekers of knowledge for the hope of salvation, and rude ruffians who follow every cry and are swayed by every passing wind. They follow not the light of knowledge and stand not on its firm foundation. Verily knowledge is better than wealth; for while you guard wealth, it is knowledge which guards over you. Knowledge increases by spending while wealth diminishes therewith. Knowledge is a religion worthy of acceptance. Through it man is assured of the ability to live in accordance with the will of Allah in this life and of kindly words from his fellowmen after his death. Knowledge governs while wealth is governed.
1. Surah VI: 59.
2. Al-Bukhari, Riqaq, 38.
With the loss of wealth its value vanishes and its hoarders are dead even while they live. On the other hand the learned men will live as long as time shall last.” Taking a deep breath and pointing to his breast, ‘Ali said, “Herein is abundant knowledge, but I can find no one to carry it on. Instead I find seekers who I cannot trust; they exploit religion for worldly gain, employ the gifts of Allah for fastening their yoke on His saints (awliya), and exalt themselves therewith over His people. I find men who follow the righteous but, for the least matter, become the victims of doubt and scepticism. They have neither understanding nor insight. I find gluttons guilty of indulgence, easily led in the ways of lust. I find men lured by the desire to amass wealth and hoard it, who follow their appetite and have closer resemblance to grazing cattle than to human beings. On my Allah! Thus will knowledge perish when its people die. But the world will not be destitute of men who will champion the cause of Allah, some openly in public while others secretly for fear of persecution, lest the proofs and evidence of existence be nullified. How many are they and where are they to be found? Such men boast of the smallest number but in worth they are the greatest. They have no equals among men; their strength lies in their heart. Through them Allah will preserve the proofs of His existence until they entrust His testament to their successors or plant its seeds in the hearts of their fellow-saints. With their knowledge they attacked the basic problem and arrived at the core of the truth, penetrating what the pampered have deemed inaccessible and delighting in what the foolish have feared. They go through this life with bodies, the spirits of which look for heaven. They are the saints of Allah among His people, His trustees and deputies on earth, and the missionaries (du‘ah) who summon men to His religion.” He then wept and said, “Oh how much I long to see them!” What he mentioned at the end is the description of the learned men of the hereafter, the greater part of whose knowledge is obtained through works and continued self-mortification… ]

To me, the key to this post is given by Moses:

Moses said to him “Give up this idea; ask for the path of deen (religion) from Allah.

Ask (wish) for that kind of thing, if You have mind , and give up your other wish because your other wish is very bad. “

If we live the religious (contemplative) life, holiness and knowledge are sure to follow according to His Will, all in the appropriate time.

It is enough to be vigilant in living a religious life.

Thank you so much for this post.
