Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss First Fascicle
The Turkish original of the book Se’âdet-i Ebediyye consists of three parts, all of which add up to more than a thousand pages. We have translated the entire book into English and have published six individual fascicles. Se’âdet-i Ebediyye is a book prepared according to the Hanafî Madhhab. There is not a bit of knowledge or word which does not confirm the creed of the Ahl-i Sunnat and Jamâ’at in this book. This is the first fascicle. We invoke Allâhu ta’âlâ to help us deliver it to our dear readers. There are two hundred and forty (240) chapters in Se’âdet-i Ebediyye, and it consists of three parts. Forty-one of the ninety-eight chapters in the first part, thirty-four of the seventy-two chapters in the second part and thirty-three of the seventy chapters in the third part are translations of the letters in the Persian original of Maktûbât (The Letters) by Hadrat Imâm-i Rabbânî ‘rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih’ . A few of them are translations of letters by Hadrat Muhammad Ma’sûm ‘rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih’. The remaining chapters are taken from many valuable books. Maktûbât by Hadrat Imam-î Rabbânî consists of three volumes (I, II, III) and they contain five hundred and thirty six letters. All of them were published in two volumes in Pakistan in 1392 [1972 A.D.], and it was printed by offset in 1397 [1977 A.D.] in Istanbul. Maktûbât by Hadrat Muhammad Ma’sûm, his son, is also of three volumes (IV, V, VI). The volume number and the number of each letter translated is given below. The additions in brackets are explanations made by the translator, (i.e. Hadrat Hüseyn Hilmi Işık 'quddisa sirruh'.). Subjects relating to belief of ahl as-Sunnat are quoted from famous Ahl as-Sunnat scholars' books.

creatures. My ancestors are the best people.”<br />
4 – In a hadîth in a book by Tabarânî, one of the most valuable<br />
hadîth savants, the blessed Prophet states: “Allâhu ta’âlâ created<br />
everything out of nothing. Of all things, He liked human beings<br />
and made them valuable. Of mankind He made those whom He<br />
selected settle in Arabia. And of the distinguished in Arabia, He<br />
chose me. He placed me among the distinguished, the best of the<br />
people in every age. Then, those who love the ones in Arabia who<br />
are obedient to me, love them for my sake. Those who feel<br />
hostility towards them feel hostility towards me.” This hadîth-isherîf<br />
is written also at the initial part of Mawâhib-i Ladunniyya.<br />
5 – As is informed in Mawâhib-i-Ladunniyya and in the<br />
explanation of Zerqânî ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ ’alaih’, it is stated in a<br />
hadîth-i-sherîf quoted by ’Abdullah bin ’Abbâs ‘radiy-Allâhu<br />
’anhumâ’: “None of my grandfathers committed fornication.<br />
Allâhu ta’âlâ made me from beautiful and good fathers and pure<br />
mothers. If one of my grandfathers had had two sons. I would be<br />
in the more useful, the better one of these two.” Before Islam,<br />
adultery was usual in Arabia. A woman would not marry a man<br />
before having been his mistress for a long time. [Today’s<br />
disbelievers do the same.] Hadrat Âdam ‘’alaihis-salâm’, when he<br />
was about to die, said to Hadrat Shis ‘’alaihis-salâm’, his son, “My<br />
son! This nûr shining on your forehead is the nûr of Hadrat<br />
Muhammad, the Last Prophet. Deliver this nûr to pure and chaste<br />
ladies, who believe in Allah, and tell your son to do so in your last<br />
request!” Up to Muhammad ‘’alaihis-salâm’, all fathers told their<br />
sons to do so. Each of them fulfilled this will by marrying the<br />
noblest, the chastest girl. The nûr, passing through pure foreheads<br />
and chaste women, reached its owner. Allâhu ta’âlâ calls the<br />
disbelievers foul in the Sûra-i-Tawba. Since Rasûlullah ‘sall-<br />
Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ states that all his grandfathers were<br />
innocent, Âzar, who was a foul disbeliever, must not be Ibrâhim’s<br />
‘’alaihis-salâm’ father. To say that Âzar was Hadrat Ibrâhim’s<br />
‘’alaihis-salâm’ father would mean to deny the hadîth above. Molla<br />
Jâmi ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’ says in his Persian book Shawâhid-un-<br />
Nubuwwa: “A nûr (holy light) shone on Âdam’s forehead ‘’alaihissalâm’<br />
because he bore a mote of hadrat Muhammad ‘’alaihissalâm’.<br />
This mote was passed on to Hadrat Hawwa and from her<br />
to Hadrat Shis, thus passing from innocent men to innocent<br />
women and from innocent women to innocent men. The nûr,<br />
together with the mote, passed from foreheads to foreheads.”<br />
It is written on the forty-eighth page of the book Qisas-i-<br />
