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.

will bring about countless blessings. Nevertheless, Allâhu ta’âlâ<br />
declares in the eighteenth âyat of Sûrat-ut-Tawba: “It is not<br />
permissible for disbelievers to build a jâmi’. It is not a reasonable<br />
and useful activity. Their building a jâmi’ and all their deeds, which<br />
they like, will be useless for them on the Rising Day and, since they<br />
do not adapt themselves to Hadrat Muhammad, they will go to<br />
Hell and will be punished with very bitter torments eternally.”<br />
He declares in the eighty-fifth âyat of Sûrat-ul Âl-i ’Imrân,<br />
“Allâhu ta’âlâ does not like or accept the religion of those who<br />
wish for a religion other than the Islamic religion, which has been<br />
brought by Hadrat Muhammad. He who turns his back on the<br />
Islamic religion will suffer a great loss and will go to Hell in the<br />
next world.”<br />
A person who worships for thousands of years, spends his life<br />
purifying his self, and becomes useful to those around him with his<br />
beautiful manners and the tools he has invented will not attain the<br />
endless bliss unless he adapts himself to Hadrat Muhammad.<br />
He declares in the thirteenth âyat of Sûrat-un-Nisâ: “Those<br />
who ignore the commandments of Allâhu ta’âlâ and His Prophet,<br />
Hadrat Muhammad ‘’alaihis-salâm’, those who dislike the<br />
commandments and who say that they are not compatible with the<br />
century, with science, that they do not suffice for modern needs,<br />
will not escape the fire of Hell on the Day of Judgment. There is<br />
very bitter torment for them in Hell.”<br />
23 – This world is a field for the next world. How unfortunate<br />
and stupid are those who, instead of sowing their seeds, eat them,<br />
thus depriving themselves of reaping much fruit. They do not<br />
prepare for that day on which siblings will avoid each other, a<br />
mother will disavow her children. These people will be wrong in<br />
this world and in the next and will repent in the end. He who is<br />
reasonable looks on this world only as an opportunity. During this<br />
short term, instead of enjoying worldly pleasures, he sows seeds by<br />
doing auspicious deeds, the ones which Allâhu ta’âlâ likes, and<br />
thus gathers the many blessings communicated in the âyat-ikerîma.<br />
Allâhu ta’âlâ will give infinite blessings for the auspicious<br />
deeds and worships done in this short life. And He will eternally<br />
torment those who do not follow His Prophet and who dislike<br />
Islam.<br />
[As a matter of fact, He declares in the hundred and seventysecond<br />
âyat of Sûrat-un-Nisâ: “For those who, believing in Hadrat<br />
Muhammad, do the deeds useful for the Hereafter, Allâhu ta’âlâ<br />
will give what He promises and many other blessings in addition.<br />
