1 VOICE OF SYSTEM INTRODUCTION By Ahmed Hulusi My dear friends… This book is composed of a series of writings originally published on our Internet web site as a weekly column under the heading "The System Calls". In this book we present the articles in a topical sequence rather than chronological. My convictions, that I have acquired as a result of my years-long investigations have provided me with a viewing of the Deen of Islam and RasulAllah Mohammed Mustafa aleyhessalaam from a completely new perspective, by the grace (lutf) of Allah. I realized that many of problems of our day could be solved within that perspective. If we can share that point of view with good intentions and genuineness, we will see that many of problems born out of misunderstanding and misinterpretation can be eliminated, hence we will come to face with a completely different and a new understanding of the Deen-i Islam and the Koran. As there is a huge gap between the concepts of "god" and "ALLAH", there is equally great difference that exists between the concepts of "PROPHET" and "RASUL". This is one of the most important topics you are going to find in this book. Besides, you will be greeted by a great number of points of fact in this book, which are quite different from what has been said about them before. One, for instance, is the concept of READING the Koran with its "SOUL" or "SPIRIT". Many of the discussions you will find in this book involve my personal interpretations that have not been touched on before! Perhaps it is the precise purpose of my existence! Of course, you do not have to share these interpretations. But I hope you may at least reach some openness and tolerance that some points could have been understood that way as well… If I may communicate to you what I would like to explain: I hope you will have a quite different viewing about: What the noun "ALLAH" refers to… What the one qualified as "Rasul" signifies… What the concept of "afterworld" (akhirat) is meant to tell… What the concept of "Salaat" is used to inform to experience… How to READ the Koran with a consciousness of Its SPIRIT could be… How Hazrat Mohammed aleyhessalaam and those that he brought could be UNIVERSAL… The Universe, the space, all that is around you and that is in your essence… I need to give emphasis to the following as an addition to my discussions in this book: I bear none of the titles or labels other than being a "thinker" making investigations about those themes for quite many years! There cannot be a personal path peculiar to myself and neither should there be one! Everybody should define a path for himself with his own mind (maybe through taking the benefit of my explanations as well if desired), and should suffer the consequences of it. There is nobody to talk on my behalf and there cannot be such a someone ever. They, who share what I have written at the degree of their understanding, can only talk for themselves… I am not bound by anybody’s talks or writings. A person can only narrate to others what he understands and how he interprets what I have written. I am responsible only for my own writings. Voice of System 2 Pretence - Imitation (taqlid), it should be known, is a great mistake that extends to the denial of human honor and place. Hazrat Mohammed aleyhessalaam has come not to be followed by imitation (taqlid) but to be understood (reasoned out) and the requirements of that understanding to be lived effectively. Considering that even such a Person is not to be followed by imitation, then it would be a great error to follow any other person by imitation. Act on the effect of your belief wherever you fail to conceive, but this should never hold you back from inquiry and questioning, so that you may reach the wisdom of an idea. My friend… Please never dismiss it from your mind that… There is no validity of a concept of making an excuse in the dimension you will pass to through death, and neither will there be a chance of coming back to earth again to gain what you have not acquired before… In the next dimension you will involuntarily live the outcome of the actions that you carry out at present. How important is something for you if you are going to leave it here permanently? How important is something for you if you want to have it with you forever? Make your choice with careful consideration of that point, so that you may not live in irreversible regret everlastingly!.. I hope that the evaluation of these lines is placed in you by creation (fitrat) - by your allotment (nasib) and this book may be a vehicle for you to reach many novelties and beauties. May "Allah" unfold Hu's beauties in all of us by means of Hu's name "as Salaam". WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE By Ahmed Hulusi Come on my friends, let us talk openly and honestly now. Let me first say what I will… Speaking honestly, are you really concerned about the Deen-i Islam, my friend?.. Even if you are not…You are still so precious to me!.. I nurtured many different plants when I was in Antalya… I used to speak with them and they enjoyed it a great deal!.. I also fed canaries, of the Norwich race. Walking around on my shoulders and on my face, so many hatched babies grew in my hands!.. I also had a Van cat, looking like a mass of white cotton… One eye blue, the other yellow, it stayed beside me for so many years… Oh those giant fishes tulle tailed in my aquarium, lion-colored ones!… You must have reasoned out now that all those creatures of what is known by the name Allah, are so precious for me… Said this… Although the Deen-i Islam is basically very different from Muslimism that you have heard about before, you are not aware of it since you haven't made a study of it!.. You are not able to perceive that it is impossible for a reasonable person to deny the Reality of the Deen-i Islam by way of judging it by what is spoken about it as its verbal and formal aspects and finding it illogical… So be it! Much as you may be unaware of the meaning that you are a "khaliph on earth", I cannot dislike nor disapprove of you!.. I wish to be a helping hand to you in all fields as best as I can… It is my pleasure… Since your neglect of studying and inquiring about what is required in this life and your prejudiced approach will already put you in more than enough trouble in the future, why should I also burden you here? Go on and spend your present days pleasantly Voice of System 3 if nothing else, my dear friend…you will only have to suffer the consequences of what you have ignored now, that's all!.. And you, my friend, why are you interested in the Deen? Is it your aim to come out of the hellfire with a whole skin and to serve out (dish up) heaven after death? Getting rid of prayers (namaz) fait accompli like turning soft small summersaults, and starving to hunger occasionally to call it a fasting, do you assume that you can hence say that "you are a believer!" and so serve out heaven! Listen my friend! Let us realize some absolute facts… The moment a person is given birth, it is determined whether he will go to heaven or not. That never alters afterwards!.. As a consequence of programming that unfolds in the brain while in your mother's womb (womb is Rahim originally), either a layer is formed by a kind of wave produced by your brain and stored onto your spirit which enables you to ultimately to access, or if your brain does not produce it fail to access the dimension known as heaven!.. This is a result of the operatives of the SYSTEM and mechanism that involves all humankind including myself! There is a comprehensive explanation for this; there is an operational order of this mechanism, but I am not going to discuss its details now… You may wonder why you should still fulfill practices (ibadat) if it is already known what you are going to be! Listen, I will tell it briefly… All that is known as ibadat that you fulfill, is for yourself only!.. They are never to please a God up in the sky nor to find favor in such a God's eyes!.. Likewise you need to take care with the food you eat in order to stay healthy, and in order to win a competition you need to train adequately. You also need to work to be able to reach a desired position in your career. What you are going to get in the hereafter, is in the same way connected with the practices that you have accomplished in this world. They must be accomplished while your brain is still living. Since there is not a celestial god-up-in-the-sky who sends down imperial commandments, all that you receive depends on your practices only. Not only the fire of hell burns inside yourself, but the beauties of heaven springs out from within you, as well… Whatever kind of actions you put forward today, they will confront you tomorrow… Whatever you face, will be what you, yourself have produced!..
