1 - Endless Bliss - Hüseyin Hilmi Işık

Your dear letter, sent out of mercy, honoured this poor
person at the best time. We were happy to read it. Thanks be to
Allahu ta’âlâ, you have been blessed with the inheritance of
Hadrat Muhammad’s faqr [1] . This tawajjuh, this love and this
adherence towards faqîrs ensue from that inheritance. This
faqîr, who has nothing, is confused about what to write in
response. I will make this letter of mine a means for being
saved from the torments of the next world, by writing

followers. He is the most glorious among the latter and former
in front of Allah.

’azîz) said, “Every prophet (salâwâtullahi ta’âlâ ’alaihim ajma’în)
is the highest of his tribe, of his time, in his country, in every
respect. As for Hadrat Muhammad (’alaihi’s-salâm), he is, in
every respect, the highest of all classes of beings that have
come and that will come in every country in every age from the
creation of the world until its end. No person is superior to him
in any respect. This is not something impossible for Him to do.
He (Allah), who makes whatever He wills and who creates
whatever He wants, has created him so. No person has the
power to praise him. No person has the capacity to criticize
him.”]
On the Day of Resurrection, he will rise from the grave first.
He will do shafâ’at first. His shafâ’at will be accepted first. He
will knock on the door of Paradise first. The door will be opened
for him at once. In his hand will be a flag called “Liwây-i
[1] The quality of not regarding worldly possessions, not hesitating to give
one’s possessions away for the cause of Allah.
