is merely a probability, do you want to be burned eternally in a<br />

fire? Wisdom, knowledge, and science prevent the rejection of<br />

the existence of Allah and a belief regarding Paradise and Hell.<br />

Objective individuals are unable to assert that such things<br />

cannot happen. Those who do not believe are unable to show<br />

any documents or evidence supporting their rejection. However,<br />

the evidences that prove belief to be unavoidable is<br />

innumerable. World libraries are full of books which spell out<br />

these proofs. Deceived by their nafs and pleasures, they reject.<br />

They think of nothing except their pleasures. However, Islâm<br />

does not prohibit pleasure itself. It prohibits the hazardous<br />

effects of certain pleasures. Therefore, the one who has<br />

wisdom obtains his pleasure through the means shown by<br />

Allâhu ta’âlâ. He is adorned with the superior morality of Islâm.<br />

He is helpful to everyone. He retaliates with goodness to those<br />

who act maliciously towards him. If he is unable to be<br />

benevolent at least, he should act with patience. He should not<br />

be destructive; he should be constructive. Thus, he will attain<br />

his pleasures, comfort and peace of mind. Besides, he will be<br />

spared the eternal torments of the next world. It is a proven fact<br />

that to be a Muslim and to have îmân are prerequisite for peace<br />

of mind and happiness. To have îmân is very easy. It is not<br />

necessary to give money to a certain place, to give goods, to do<br />

hard work, to receive permission from someone. Additionally, it<br />

is not necessary to declare it openly and to inform someone<br />

about your îmân. Îmân consists of learning six things and<br />

believing in them through the heart in a secret way. The one<br />

who has îmân becomes submissive to Allâhu ta’âlâ’s<br />

commandments. In other words, he willingly practices without<br />

any compulsion. Thus, he becomes a Muslim. In short, every<br />

Believer (Mu’min) is a Muslim. Every Muslim is a Believer<br />

(Mu’min)].<br />

44 – SECOND VOLUME, 82nd LETTER<br />

This letter, sent to Khwâja Sharafaddîn Huseyn,<br />

discusses avoiding the harâm and adhering to the Sharî’at.<br />

O our Allah! Make us know the world as it is and place in our<br />

hearts the greatness, the importance of the next world! O my<br />

clever son! Do not ever fall for the decoration, the ornaments of<br />

the harâms; do not get deceived by their transient, exhaustible<br />

flavours! Be extra careful so that all your actions, thoughts and<br />
