Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Second Fascicle

Other religions are not so. All other religions have been
defiled, and ideas and thoughts issuing from the human mind
have taken the place of divine rules. For this reason, they have
never been lâyataghayyar [1] and have remained only as forms and
dead words over against an ever-improving and changing life.
Allâhu ta’âlâ has based the Islamic religion upon principles that
will provide improvements to address the progress of life and
life’s ever-changing needs. To say that Islam is the unchangeable
rules based on the needs of the Middle Ages would mean to
slander the Islamic religion.
[On Wednesday, June 13, 1962, the morning papers of
Istanbul stated as follows:
In 1953, 105 million of Africa’s population of 215 million were
Muslims. This number has increased today. Because the Islamic
religion respects everybody’s honour and dignity with no regard
to race, nationality, political belief, language or education, it
brings great success.
Misleading Muslims’ children with lies and slanders and
enticing them by holding them to promises of money and rank,
British agents and Jews uprooted the Islamic Ottoman State.
They disseminated irreligiousness and made it a fashion among
younger generations. They called such atrocities as women’s and
girls’ going out without covering themselves properly, fornication,
imbibition, immorality and irreligiousness, ‘progressivism’. They
annihilated Islamic scholars, Islamic knowledge. British spies and
freemasons disguised themselves as religious men and spoiled
Islam’s pulchritudinous ethical values and tenets of worship.
Islam became absent in essence and present in name. In the time
of the Party of Union, even law-givers, beys and pashas became
enemies of Islam. They enacted laws destructive of Islam.
Religious piety or devotedness became an offence. They
gibbetted numerous Muslims and slaughtered many others.
Observing religious practices and prohibitions was called
separatism. Those who performed Amr-i ma’rûf, that is, who
taught Islam or wrote about it correctly, were called ‘enemies of
the regime’. Al-hamdu-li-llah (thanks and praise be to Allah)!
Such Christian aggressions did not continue. The Islamic sun is
shining again in our cherished country. The enemy’s lies and
treacheries have given themselves away. True religious teachings
are being published freely. Therefore, every Muslim must show
[1] immutable, unalterable.
