put in such an order. For each mirror reflects the sun to the other. By the same token, the heart of each of the Ashâb-i kirâm (’alaihimurridwân) was brightened like a mirror by the nûr radiated by the blessed heart of Rasûlullah (sall-Allahu ’alaihi wa sallam). Seeing his beautiful moral qualities, hearing his sweet words, witnessing his mu’jizas, and watching his luminous face, they loved him a great deal. They tried to be like him in everything they did. Each of them would have sacrificed his life upon one signal of his. By spreading abundant nûr, which they thus received to the young hearts attached to them, they purified these hearts. This nur was passed from these hearts to those of other youngsters who were attached to them. Thus, for thirteen hundred years, being radiated by the hearts of the Awliyâ, his same nûr purified the hearts attached to these hearts and thereby brightened them like mirros. That is, the eyes of their hearts were opened. The fortunate persons who were blessed with this lot were called Walî or Awliyâ (those whom Allah loves.) Mazhar-i Jân-i Jânân, the ‘qutb’ of his time and a great Walî, says, “I attained all of what I gained by loving my murshids (religious teachers) very much. The key to all kinds of happiness is to love those whom Allah loves.” And Hadrat ’Alî Râmitanî ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ sirrahul’azîz’ says, “The hearts of people who devoted themselves to Allah is the place where He looks. To people who entered such hearts, there will be a share in that look.” The heart is dependent both upon the nafs and upon the sense organs and is attached to those things which the sense organs are preoccupied with. When man sees something lovely, hears a beautiful voice, or tastes something sweet, the heart becomes attached to them. Man cannot help this love. Also, when man reads something beautiful, the heart becomes attached to the writer and its meaning. By “beautiful and sweet”, ‘what comes beautiful and sweet to the heart’ is meant. Most of the time, man cannot realize real beauty. He confuses what appears beautiful to the nafs with what appears beautiful to the rûh. If the heart is strong, it realizes beauty and loves it. Valuable things such as âyats, hadîths, words of the Awliyâ, prayers, and tesbîhs are originally beautiful. They are very sweet. The heart, after its attachment to the nafs decreases and it is released from the bondage of the nafs, it will love them too. - 276 -
When a man reads or hears them, his heart becomes attached to them without his awareness of it. When this person reads Qur’ân al-kerîm or listens to it being read or makes dhikr, his heart loves Allâhu ta’âlâ. To release the heart from the bondage, from the oppression of the nafs, it is necessary to oppress the nafs and strengthen the heart. This is possible only by obeying Rasûlullah. If a person who has released his heart from the paws of his nafs by following Muhammad ‘alaihissalâm’ observes a Walî, he will realize that he is a beloved born servant of Allah and a (spritual) heir to the Messenger of Allah. Since he loves Allah very much, he will also love very much whomever Allah loves. But loving is not easy. There have been many people who were mistaken by thinking of what their nafs loved to be real beauties which the rûh loved and they have ended up in disasters. He who does his best to attain the love of Allâhu ta’âlâ is called a Sâlih. He who has already attained this love is called an Ârif or Walî. He who is a means for others to attain the love of Allâhu ta’âlâ is called a Murshid. These three people are called Sâdiq. It is declared in the hundred and twentieth âyat of the Sûrat-ut-Tawba in the Qur’ân: “O Believers! Always, at all times be in company of Sâdiqs!” This âyat-i karîma commands doing the râbita. It is declared in a hadîth: “All the blessings and nûr which Allahu ta’âlâ has poured into my heart, I poured them into Abû Bakr’s heart.” Because Abû Bekr ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ anh’ was ahead of all others in taqwâ and worshipping and because he realized better than anyone else did how great Rasûlullah was so that he himself was a mere nothing when compared with the Messenger of Allah, and because he won Rasûlullah’s love more than anyone else did, more fayds came to him than did to anyone else and he received all the fayds coming. As it is understood from these and the like, our religion asks us to keep company with the Awliyâ, and to learn Rasûlullah’s path from them. Ashâb-i kirâm (the companions of the Prophet) and Tâbiîn-i izâm (those who conversed with the Ashâb-i kiram) are called Salaf-i sâlihîn. The Ahl-as-Sunna savants of the Salaf-i sâlihîn who lived until the end of the four hundredth year of the Hegira are called Halaf-i sâdiqîn. Halaf-i sâdiqîn always followed the Salaf-i sâlihîn in the knowledge of faith, deeds and heart; they never deviated from the way of the Salaf-i sâlihîn. It appeared - 277 -
