I am a soul returning close to the single authentic source threading the path of mysticism in the occurrence of a combined peace, joy, compassion or love. My agony between competing forces of light and dark, and positive marked division between the material kingdom, the administration of evil forces, and the higher spiritual kingdom from which it is divided. My words may seem to confuse and unclear, at the same time over-simplified and full of subtle meanings hidden from the naive.

My words are very easy to know, and easy to practice; but there is none in the world who can recognize and capable of practice them.
A dimensional fluctuation amid one construction of reality to another. I am crossed a path by sin, shame, remorse.
Repentance, awareness of lower-self attachments and dervishes giving up the thoughts and behaviors is now the necessity for reinstating unity and grace.
Mortification and dejection, defamation and allegation, abundant lives breathed, none could grasp me and in this way my voyage demands further obligation.
My ancestry and individuality is of free spirit. I question if this is a joy. The joy is of mankind shuns and Almighty embraces. That is the joy in the departure from the material release. (2009)


"Religious truth is the inner meaning of the law revealed in the heart of the Sufi by the Divine Light."

In terms of the Ultimate Reality or Truth, I have now come to reject the very basis of "manifestation" and in doing so all systems of thought and knowledge in reference to it is invalid

According to my experience there is nothing to understand about enlightenment as enlightenment is the way of enlightenment itself.

The subject of enlightenment – or anything else – did not interest me all my life ………….. My life-story can be separated into the three catastrophe parts. The first part of my life with Human experience. The second part of my life experienced a Bodily experience with a discontinuity from my human life with the ongoing bodily experience – though not absence – of thought. But I lost all connectivity with the acquired knowledge and memories, and I was made to re-learn everything, as if the slate had been wiped clean.

Clarification of a Misinterpretation - By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

There are certain verses in the Quran, which convey injunctions similar to the following: ‘Kill them wherever you find them.’ (2:191)

Referring to such verses, there are some who attempt to give the impression that Islam is a religion of war and violence. This is totally untrue. Such verses relate in a restricted sense, to those who have unilaterally attacked the Muslims. The above verse does not convey the general command of Islam.

The truth of the matter is that the Quran was not revealed in the complete form in which it exists today. It was revealed from time to time, according to the circumstances, over a time span of 23 years. If this is divided into years of war and peace, the period of peace amounts to 20 years, while that of war amounts only to 3 years. The revelations during these 20 peaceful years were the peaceful teachings of Islam as are conveyed in the verses regarding the realization of God, worship, morality, justice, etc.

This division of commands into different categories is a natural one and is found in all religious books. For instance, the Gita, the holy book of the Hindus, pertains to wisdom and moral values. Yet along with this is the exhortation of Krishna to Arjun, encouraging him to fight. (3:30) This does not mean that believers in the Gita should wage wars all the time. Gandhiji, after all, derived his philosophy of non-violence from the same Gita. The exhortation to wage war in the Gita applies only to exceptional cases where circumstances leave no choice. But for general day-to-day existence it gives the same peaceful commands as derived from it by Mahatma Gandhi.

Similarly, Jesus Christ said: “Do not think that I came to bring peace on Earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” (Matthew, Chapter 10)

It would not be right to conclude that the religion preached by Christ was one of war and violence, for such utterances relate purely to particular occasions. So far as general life is concerned, Christ taught peaceful values, such as the building up of a good character, loving each other, helping the poor and needy, etc.

The same is true of the Quran. When the Prophet of Islam emigrated from Mecca to Medina, the idolatrous tribes were aggressive towards him. But the Prophet always averted their attacks by the exercise of patience and the strategy of avoidance. However on certain occasions no other options existed, save that of retaliation. Therefore, he had do battle on certain occasions. It was these circumstances, which occasioned those revelations relating to war. These commands, being specific to certain circumstances, had no general application. They were not meant to be valid for all time to come. That is why; the permanent status of the Prophet has been termed a ‘mercy for all mankind.’ (21:107)

Islam is a religion of peace in the fullest sense of the word. The Qur’an calls its way ‘the paths of peace’ (5:16). It describes reconciliation as the best policy (4:128), and states that God abhors any disturbance of the peace (2:205). We can say that:

“It is no exaggeration to say that Islam and violence are contradictory to each other. The concept of Islamic violence is so obviously unfounded that prima facie it stands rejected. The fact that violence is not sustainable in the present world is sufficient indication that violence as a principle is quite alien to the scheme of things in Islam. Islam claims to be an eternal religion and, as such, could never afford to uphold any principle, which could not stand up to the test of time. Any attempt to bracket violence with Islam amounts, therefore, to casting doubt upon the very eternity of the Islamic religion. Islamic terrorism is a contradiction in terms, much like ‘pacifist’ terrorism. And the truth of the matter is that, all the teachings of Islam are based directly or indirectly on the principle of peace.”

Have a Blessed Week,

Turkish Translation


Orada Kuran, hangi emir aşağıdakine benzer ifade bazı ayet vardır: 'her yerde onları bulmak onları. "(2:191)

Gibi ayet istinaden bazı kim izlenimini İslam savaş ve şiddet dinidir vermek için girişimde bulunmaktadır. Bu tamamen doğru değildir. Gibi ayet kısıtlı bir anlamda, o kim tek taraflı olarak Müslümanlara saldırdılar ilgilidir. Yukarıdaki ayette İslam'ın genel komut ifade etmez.

Maddenin Gerçek şu ki Kuran içinde bugün var tamamlamak şeklinde ortaya olmadığıdır. O zaman zaman, koşullara göre, 23 yıllık bir zaman aralığı içinde ortaya çıktı. Eğer bu savaş ve barış yıl içinde 20 yıl, barış döneminde miktarda bölünmüş olduğunu savaş sırasında miktarda 3 yıl sadece. Bu 20 yıl içinde barışçıl âyetlerini İslam'ın barışçıl öğretisi olarak Tanrı, ibadet, ahlak, adalet, vb gerçekleştirilmesi ile ilgili ayette aktarılır edildi

Farklı kategorilerde komutları Bu bölünme doğal bir ve bütün din kitapları bulunur. Örneğin, Gita, Hinduların kutsal kitap, bilgelik ve ahlaki değerleri ile ilgilidir. Ancak birlikte bu Arjun için Krishna'nın tembih, onu savaşmaya teşvik ediyor. (3:30) Bu demek değildir ki Gita de müminler gereken ücret savaşları her zaman. Gandhiji, tüm sonra, aynı Gita dan olmayan felsefesini şiddet türetilmiş. Gita ücret savaşa teşvik istisnai durumlarda sadece burada koşullar başka seçenekleri terk geçerlidir. Fakat genel gün için aynı barışçıl komutları verir-to-day varlığı ondan Mahatma Gandi hesaplanır.

Benzer şekilde, İsa Mesih şöyle dedi: "Bu Dünyada barış getirmek için geldi düşünmeyin. Ben barış getirmek için, ama bir kılıç gelmedi. "(Matta, Bölüm 10)

Bu din Mesih tarafından vaaz bir savaş ve şiddet, bu sözler için olduğu sonucuna doğru olmaz sadece belirli durumlar ile ilgilidir. Birbirleriyle, sevgi dolu fakir ve muhtaç, vb yardımcı Şimdiye kadar genel hayatı söz konusu olduğunda, Mesih bina kadar iyi bir karakter gibi barışçı değerleri öğretti

Aynı Kuran doğrudur. Zaman Peygamber Mekke Medine için, putperest kabileleri ona karşı saldırgan edildi göç. Ama Peygamber daima sabır egzersiz ve kaçınma stratejisi kendi saldırıları kaçırdı. Ancak başka seçenekler var, belirli durumlarda, tasarruf bu misilleme. Bu nedenle, o vardı bazı durumlarda savaş yok. Hangi âyetlerini bu savaşa ilişkin occasioned Bu koşullar oldu. Bu komutları, bazı durumlarda, özel olarak genel bir uygulama vardı. Onlar gelecek tüm zamanlar için geçerli olması amacıyla değildi. Bu yüzden Peygamber kalıcı durum tüm insanlık için bir 'rahmet olarak adlandırdığı olmasıdır.' (21:107)

İslam kelimenin en geniş anlamda barış dinidir. Kur'an barış yolunda 'yollar' (5:16) çağırır. Onu en iyi siyaset (4:128) olarak, uzlaşma açıklanır ve devletler Tanrı'nın barış (2:205) herhangi bir rahatsızlık abhors. Diyebiliriz ki:

"Bu, İslam ve şiddet birbirleriyle çelişkili söylüyorlar hiçbir abartı olduğunu. İslami şiddet kavramı çok açıkça bunu reddetti duran bu ilk izlenime göre asılsız olduğunu. Aslında şiddet günümüz dünya sürdürülebilir değildir yeterli göstergesi şiddet bir prensip oldukça İslam'da şeylerin düzeni yabancı olmasıdır. Islam sonsuz bir din olduğunu iddia ve, gibi, hangi zaman testi kadar dayanamayıp herhangi bir ilke, desteklenmesi göze asla. İslam dininin çok sonsuzluğu üzerine şüphe döküm için İslam miktarları, bu nedenle aile için braket şiddet her girişim,. İslami terörizm 'gibi çok açıdan bir çelişki, pasifist' terörizmdir. Ve maddenin gerçek şu ki, İslam'ın bütün öğretilerinin doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak barış ilkesine dayalı olmasıdır. "

Arabic Translation

هناك بعض الآيات في القرآن الكريم ، والتي تنقل الأوامر مشابهة لما يلي : 'اقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهم.' (2:191)

في اشارة الى مثل هذه الآيات ، وهناك بعض الذين يحاولون إعطاء الانطباع بأن الإسلام هو دين الحرب والعنف. هذا غير صحيح بالمرة. وتتصل هذه الآيات بمعنى مقيدة ، لأولئك الذين هاجموا المسلمين من جانب واحد. الآية المذكورة أعلاه لا ينقل القيادة العامة للإسلام.

حقيقة الأمر هي أن القرآن لم ينزل في شكل كامل والذي كان موجودا اليوم. انها كشفت من وقت لآخر ، حسب الظروف ، على مدى فترة 23 عاما. إذا كانت هذه هي مقسمة الى سنوات من الحرب والسلام ، في الفترة من السلام المبالغ إلى 20 سنة ، في حين أن الحرب المبالغ فقط لمدة 3 سنوات. ما تم الكشف عنه خلال هذه السنوات ال 20 كانت سلمية سلمية تعاليم الاسلام كما هي وردت في الآيات المتعلقة بإعمال الله ، والعبادة والأخلاق والعدالة ، الخ.

هذا التقسيم للأوامر إلى فئات مختلفة أمر طبيعي وموجود في جميع الكتب الدينية. على سبيل المثال ، غيتا ، وهو الكتاب المقدس للهندوس ، ويتعلق الحكمة والقيم الأخلاقية. حتى الآن جنبا إلى جنب مع هذه هي نصيحة من كريشنا لأرجون ، وشجعه على القتال. (3:30) وهذا لا يعني أن المؤمنين في غيتا ينبغي شن الحروب في كل وقت. غاندى ، بعد كل شيء ، والمستمدة فلسفته في اللاعنف من غيتا نفسه. والحض على شن الحرب في غيتا لا ينطبق إلا على حالات استثنائية يكون فيها الظروف لا تترك خيارا. لكن بالنسبة لعامة يوم إلى يوم وجود أنها تعطي نفس الأوامر السلمية على النحو المستمد من ذلك من قبل المهاتما غاندي.

وبالمثل ، قال السيد المسيح : "لا تظنوا اني جئت لإحلال السلام على الأرض. أنا لم آت لجلب السلام ، ولكن بحد السيف. "(متى ، الفصل 10)

فإنه لن يكون من الصواب أن نستنتج أن الدين الذي بشر به المسيح كان واحدا من الحرب والعنف ، لمثل هذه التصريحات تتصل بشكل بحت لمناسبات خاصة. حتى الآن كما في الحياة العامة هي المعنية ، والمسيح تدريس القيم السلمية ، مثل بناء من حسن الخلق ومحبة بعضهم البعض ، ومساعدة الفقراء والمحتاجين ، وما إلى ذلك.

وينطبق الشيء نفسه على القرآن. عندما نبي الإسلام هاجر من مكة إلى المدينة ، وكانت القبائل الوثنية عدائيا تجاهه. ولكن النبي دائما تجنب هجماتهم على ممارسة الصبر واستراتيجية لتفادي الاصطدام. ولكن في مناسبات معينة ليس هناك خيارات أخرى ، إلا أن من الانتقام. لذا ، كان لا معركة في مناسبات معينة. كانت هذه الظروف ، والتي سببها الكشف عن تلك المتعلقة بالحرب. هذه الأوامر ، ويجري محددة لظروف معينة ، قد لا ينطبق بصورة عامة. انهم ليسوا من المفترض أن تكون صالحة لجميع الوقت في المستقبل. وهذا هو السبب ، والوضع الدائم للنبي تم تسميته ب 'رحمة للبشرية جمعاء.' (21:107)

الاسلام هو دين السلام بالمعنى الكامل للكلمة. القرآن يدعو طريقها 'مسارات السلام' (5:16). فهو يصف عملية المصالحة وأفضل سياسة (4:128) ، وتنص على أن الله يمقت أي إخلال بأمن (2:205). يمكننا القول بأن :

"وليس من قبيل المبالغة القول بأن الإسلام والعنف تتناقض مع بعضها البعض. مفهوم العنف الإسلامي هو ذلك من الواضح أن لا أساس لها لأول وهلة أنها تقف رفضت. والواقع أن العنف ليس المستدامة في العالم يقدم أدلة كافية على أن العنف كمبدأ هو غريب تماما لهذا المخطط من الامور في الإسلام. يدعي الإسلام أن يكون الدين الأبدية ، وعلى هذا النحو ، لا يمكن أبدا أن تحمل لدعم أي مبدأ ، والتي لا يمكن أن يصمد أمام اختبار الزمن. أي محاولة لشريحة العنف المبالغ مع الإسلام ، بالتالي ، أن يلقي بظلال من الشك على الخلود للغاية للدين الإسلامي. الإرهاب الإسلامي هو وجود تناقض في المصطلحات ، مثل الكثير من 'سلمي' الإرهاب. وحقيقة الأمر هي أن جميع تعاليم الإسلام تستند مباشرة أو غير مباشرة على مبدأ السلام ".

French translation


Il ya certains versets dans le Coran, qui véhiculent des injonctions similaires à ce qui suit: «Tuez-les partout où vous les trouverez. (2:191)

Se référant à de tels vers, il y en a qui tentent de donner l'impression que l'islam est une religion de guerre et de violence. Ceci est totalement faux. Ces versets portent dans un sens restreint, à ceux qui ont unilatéralement attaqué les musulmans. Le verset ci-dessus ne rend pas le commandement général de l'Islam.

La vérité de la matière est que le Coran n'a pas été révélée sous sa forme complète dans laquelle elle existe aujourd'hui. Il a été révélé, de temps en temps, selon les circonstances, sur une période de 23 ans. Si cela est divisé en années de guerre et la paix, la période de paix s'élève à 20 ans, tandis que celui de la guerre ne s'élève qu'à 3 ans. Les révélations au cours de ces 20 années de paix étaient les enseignements pacifiques de l'islam qui sont véhiculées dans les versets concernant la réalisation de Dieu, le culte, la morale, la justice, etc

Cette répartition des commandes dans les différentes catégories est naturelle et se retrouve dans tous les livres religieux. Par exemple, la Gita, le livre sacré des Hindous, se rapporte à la sagesse et de valeurs morales. Pourtant, de même que ceci est l'exhortation de Krishna à Arjuna, l'encourageant à se battre. (3:30) Cela ne signifie pas que les croyants dans la Gita devrait mener des guerres tout le temps. Gandhi, après tout, tire sa philosophie de la non-violence, depuis la Bhagavad-même. L'exhortation à la guerre dans la Gita ne s'applique qu'aux cas exceptionnels où les circonstances ne laissent aucun choix. Mais pour le jour du général au existence quotidienne il donne les mêmes commandes paisible que déduites par le Mahatma Gandhi.

De même, Jésus-Christ a dit: «Ne croyez pas que je suis venu apporter la paix sur Terre. Je ne suis pas venu apporter la paix mais l'épée. "(Matthieu, chapitre 10)

Il ne serait pas juste de conclure que la religion prêchée par le Christ fut l'un de la guerre et la violence, par de tels énoncés se rapportent uniquement à des occasions particulières. En ce qui concerne la vie en général, le Christ a enseigné des valeurs pacifiques, tels que la construction d'un bon caractère, s'aimer, aider les pauvres et les nécessiteux, etc

Le même est vrai du Coran. Quand le Prophète de l'Islam ont émigré de la Mecque à Médine, les tribus idolâtres ont été agressif envers lui. Mais le Prophète toujours permis d'éviter leurs attaques par l'exercice de la patience et la stratégie d'évitement. Toutefois, à certaines occasions pas d'autres options existent, sauf celle de représailles. Par conséquent, il a se battre sur certaines occasions. Ce sont ces circonstances qui ont occasionné ces révélations relatives à la guerre. Ces commandes, étant spécifiques à certaines circonstances, n'avait pas d'application générale. Ils n'étaient pas censés être valables pour tous les temps à venir. C'est pourquoi, le statut permanent du Prophète a été qualifiée de «miséricorde pour l'humanité tout entière." (21:107)

L'islam est une religion de paix au sens plein du mot. Le Coran appelle sa manière »les chemins de la paix" (5:16). Il décrit la réconciliation, la meilleure politique (4:128), et indique que Dieu a horreur toute perturbation de la paix (2:205). Nous pouvons dire que:

"Il n'est pas exagéré de dire que l'islam et la violence sont contradictoires les uns aux autres. Le concept de la violence islamique est si manifestement infondées, prima facie, est rejetée. Le fait que la violence n'est pas durable dans le monde actuel est une indication suffisante que la violence en tant que principe est tout à fait étrangère à l'ordre des choses dans l'Islam. L'Islam prétend être une religion éternelle et, en tant que telle, ne pourrait jamais se permettre de défendre un principe, qui ne pouvaient pas résister à l'épreuve du temps. Toute tentative de violence tranche avec des montants islam, par conséquent, de mettre en doute l'éternité même de la religion islamique. Le terrorisme islamique est une contradiction dans les termes, un peu comme le «terrorisme pacifiste». Et la vérité est que, tous les enseignements de l'Islam sont basés directement ou indirectement sur le principe de la paix. "

Meaningful Quote

The Mysterious is invariably the inquisitiveness. The Knowledge obtained at the facade is intended to attain. The 

Veracity of such an attainment is not studied. Thus we sprint close to the impossible without recognizing the 

truthfulness of such virtues. When we begin to walk, we perceive  more than the truth self-confessed to us. Every 

accomplishment is completed with a lot of aches and the drift of rue to perfect the procedure.
