ISBN-13: 9798456919014 THE HUMAN ENIGMA AHMED HULUSI www.ahmedhulusi.org/en/ Translated by ALIYA ATALAY I dedicate this book to all my enlightened brothers and sisters around the world who have reached the Reality and are experiencing the One. Ahmed HULUSI Inquisition is half of knowledge. Muhammad (saw) “Say: My Rabb, increase my knowledge.” Quran 20:114 “Do you still not reflect?” Quran 6:50 To Hadhrat Ali (r.a.): “...Be close to Allah with your intellect!..” (Hadith) Be not of the creatures who live with their eyes, but of the wise ones who evaluate with insight! Ahmed HULUSI This book has been penned for those who reflect. Ahmed HULUSI TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE The Human Enigma is probably the most comprehensive book, in all aspects, on the mysterious and profound make- up of man and his perpetual journey. From the formation of the brain and the illusory ‘compositional’ identity, to the zodiacal signs and their effects on mankind, from fate and purpose, to the stages and conditions of Doomsday and the infinite afterlife, from the science behind the pillars of Islam and the recommended practices, to the Absolute Oneness and Unity of existence, nothing is left unexplained. Given the biggest cause of religious misunderstanding and divergence is the failure to correctly decode the metaphoric and symbolic language used in religious scriptures, Ahmed Hulusi sheds invaluable light to this ambiguity with the lamp of science, bringing immense clarity to the confused intellectual, leaving no questions unanswered. It’s an enormous advantage to have access to this perspective as for many years the biggest fallout for the modern man has been the seemingly contradictory or unreasonable claims made by religious teachings. The Human Enigma deciphers and elucidates this vagueness and dubiety with so much depth and detail, that ultimately the enigma is transformed to plain truth. This is a book on the human truth. If you’ve been questioning, wondering and seeking the truth of your existence, and like Rumi ‘wanting to know reasons’ then you’re at the right door: “I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens… I’ve been knocking from the inside.” (Rumi) Enjoy the journey to your Self, from your self… ALIYA ATALAY 14 July 2021 Istanbul CONTENTS Introduction ............................................................................................ 1 The Third Edition .................................................................................. 4 The 11th Edition ...................................................................................... 6 1.
