1 - Endless Bliss - Hüseyin Hilmi Işık

33 – FIRST VOLUME, 79th LETTER
This letter, written to Jabbârî Khân, says that this
brilliant Dîn has brought all the past Dîn together and that
to obey this Dîn means to obey all the previous Dîn.
May Allahu ta’âlâ bless us with the lot of obeying the brilliant
Sharî’at brought by Hadrat Muhammad (sall Allahu ’alaihi wa
sallam), making of progress on this righteous way, thus
attaining His consent and love! Allahu ta’âlâ has accumulated
all of the most mature and superior (shadows) of His Names
and Attributes in Hadrat Muhammad (sall Allahu ’alaihi wa
sallam), who is His most beloved born servant and His
Messenger. All these superior traits appear in him in such a
manner as to suit a born servant. The book revealed to him, the
Qur’ân, is the essence of all the books that were sent down to
all other Prophets. What was declared in all of them exist in it
too. The Sharî’at that was given to this great Prophet is like the
cream extracted from all the past Sharî’ats. Every action
declared by this true and righteous Sharî’at has been selected
and derived from the actions and deeds that were declared in
the previous Sharî’ats. Moreover, there are deeds selected or
derived from angels’ behaviors. For example, a group of angels
were commanded to do rukû’ [1] . Many of them were
commanded to prostrate, and some others were commanded to
perform qiyâm, that is, to worship by standing. Likewise, some
of the past Ummats were commanded only to perform the
morning prayer. Others were commanded to do the prayers of
other times. What was filtered and selected out of the worships
and deeds of the past Ummats and of the angels closer to
Allahu ta’âlâ was incorporated into this Dîn. For this reason, to
confirm, to believe in this Dîn and to obey the commands of this
Dîn will mean to confirm and obey all the past Dîn. This means
to say that those who conform to this Dîn will be the most
beneficent and the best of Ummats. And he who disbelieves
and dislikes this Dîn and who is reluctant to obey it will have
believed in and obeyed none of the previous Dîns. By the same
token, a person who disbelieves Hadrat Muhammad (sall Allahu
’alaihi wa sallam) and who speaks ill of that great Prophet, who
is the highest of all people and the elect of the good, will have
[1] Bowing during the prayer of namâz.
