Such people are not liars and deceivers, they are deceived. They suppose what they see to be reality. As the divine names have manifestations from the sphere of the Sublime Throne down to an atom, and their places of manifestation differ to the same degree; so the degrees of sainthood, which consist of manifesting the names, diff..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

But then they held that Mu‘tazilite authorities like Abu ‘Ali Jubba’i, who was far less bigoted than Zamakhshari, should be rejected and refuted." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

For this reason, those blessed fruits should not be consumed here. If without being sought they are given to eat here, they should be thanked for, and deemed divine favours bestowed, not as reward, but for encourag..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

One who does not obtain sincerity cannot travel those ways. The most powerful force of those ways is love. Yes, love does not seek pretexts for its beloved and does not wish to see the beloved’s faults. It looks on frail signs of its beloved’s perfection as powerful proofs, an..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu Etiketler: Mobil değişiklik Mobil ağ değişikliği

For one or two people out of ten, the social gatherings in civilized life offer a temporary, but heedless and drunken familiarity, intimacy, and solace.

It is very important, but it is also very perilous and difficult. Yet, it is still very pleasurable.

For the truths of belief which messengership preaches, sainthood sees and confirms with a sort of direct vision with the heart and tasting with the spirit at the degree of the vision of certainty. Its confirmation is a certain proof of the veracity of messengership. Through the experiential knowledge of the Sufi path and its unveilings, and through its benefits an..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu Etiketler: Mobil değişiklik Mobil ağ değişikliği

For the laws and principles related to reason, knowledge, and speech, which proceed from the Qur’an and the practices of the Prophet (UWBP), cannot sustain that way and are inapplicable to it.

For he reckons the great saints to be like himself and his good opinion of them is spoiled, for however arrogant a soul is, it still perceives its own faults.

That is, to think of the practices in one’s actions and deeds, and to follow and imitate them. In conduct and dealings with others, it is to think of the rulings of the Shari‘a and take them as one’s guide." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

He will confuse a sun that appears in a small mirror with the sun whose manifestation appears in all its splendour on the surface of the sea, due to their similarity in one respect.In just the same way, there are many people of sainthood who, resembling the diffe..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu
• güncelönceki 16.0516.05, 1 Kasım 2024‎ Ferhat mesaj katkılar‎ 212.437 bayt +101‎ "It is because of this that in all the degrees of sainthood, the chief leaven and elixir is the love arising from knowledge of God. But love leads to an abyss, which is this: it jumps from beseeching and self-effacement, which are the essence of worship, to complaint and claims and to imbalanced actions. When regarding things other than God, a person ceases to see how they point to their Maker and starts to see them as signifying themselves alone, so wh..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

Allah!” in the tekkes behind the big mosques, which were a firm source of support for the people of belief in that centre of Islam, and their spiritual love arising from knowledge of God, and their ferve..." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

They should constantly accuse their own souls, and attribute nothing to themselves other than fault, impotence, and want." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu
• güncelönceki 16.0116.01, 1 Kasım 2024‎ Ferhat mesaj katkılar‎ 212.446 bayt +2‎ "A significant fact about this way is that due to the powerful faith it inculcates and the elevated sainthood of those on it advancing to the degree of absolute certainty, the existence of contingent beings is so diminished that nothing remains in its view other than imagination and non-existence; it is as though it denies the universe on account of the Necessarily Existent One." içeriğiyle yeni sayfa oluşturdu

For innumerable human sciences and fields of knowledge show that man’s brain in his head is a sort of centre of the universe, like a telephone and telegraph exchange for innumerable lines.

Thus, the evidence that the good deeds of the Sufi path – that is, paths within the bounds of the Prophet’s (UWBP) practices – definitely preponderate over their evils is that those who follow them preserve their belief when attacked by the people of misguidance.
