Everything needs Allâhu ta’âlâ to exist, to remain in existence.<br />

For, to be eternal means to go on existing every moment. It does<br />

not mean to become something else. It is by Allah’s Will and<br />

Decree both to exist and to go on existing. How could the thing<br />

which was called the first intellect by the ancient philosophers<br />

[and which is called natural forces by today’s enemies of Islam]<br />

ever control creatures’ existence or nonexistence? There have<br />

been various sayings even on its own existence. For, the thing<br />

which they have given the name has been put forward through<br />

their poor minds. According to the true teachings of Islam, these<br />

things are intermediaries in Allâhu ta’âlâ’s creating. These<br />

intermediaries also were, and are being, created by Allâhu ta’âlâ.<br />

It is such grave idiocy to associate the existence of creatures with<br />

such made-up, illusive terms instead of believing the fact that it is<br />

from Allâhu ta’âlâ [who is Omniscient, Omnipotent]. In fact,<br />

creatures would deem it base and would be ashamed to be<br />

servants, slaves to something concocted by those short-sighted<br />

people who are the slaves of their own minds, instead of being<br />

creatures of Allah, Who is the most high of the high. They would<br />

prefer nonexistence to being such slaves. They would not wish to<br />

exist as the slaves of something fabulous instead of being<br />

creatures of a creator who is capable of everything and who can<br />

do what He wishes. As is purported in an âyat in Kahf Sûra, such<br />

idiots are described as “What they utter is a very evil word. They<br />

always tell lies.”<br />

Five times of namâz daily is Islam’s kernel;<br />

He who claims to be a Muslim should perform it.<br />

Those who do not delight in performing namâz,<br />

Must need psychotherapy, they’d better cure it.<br />

Do you want to know who will never be rescued?<br />

He’s the one who does not respect namâz a bit!<br />

Good deeds that will not weigh enough on Judgment Day,<br />

Belong to one who hears ‘azân’ but ignores it.<br />
