The Last Message
The actions of Hajj transmit the message that the Quran relates in
words. Before the completion of Hajj, it is recommended that you read the
whole Quran at least once and learn a lesson from its final chapter. Why
the final chapter? The last words of the final chapter of the Quran warn
of a DANGER while the last action of Hajj is the SHOOTING! At the end of
Hajj, you are to "shoot the three idols" while the end of Quran "denies
the three powers". In the last part of Hajj, a Muslim is warned of a "danger"
and in the last chapter of the Quran, he is warned of a "mischief". Surprisingly,
the Quran comes to an end but the mischief will not; the prophecy ends
but the danger still exists! The last two chapters of the Quran speak of
"seeking refuge from mischief" and also warn Mohammed (PBUH) the last prophet
of monotheism who completed the prophecy of Ibrahim. And, the last two
days of Hajj are to be spent in Mina where one must fight and where Allah
warns Ibrahim, the man who started this prophecy.
And you, Oh follower of Mohammed (PBUH) and Ibrahim's tradition, you
are to understand the "codes" and not only to follow the acts. Where are
you going after Mina? Oh Hajj, before we leave Mina for our homes, let
us sit down and read the last two chapters of the Quran to discover what
danger our victorious prophet was cautioned about. Let us listen to these
revelations to know from what Allah told his beloved messenger to seek
refuge (Quran CXIII):
Say (Oh Mohammed), I seek refuge in the Lord of dawn. From the mischief
(evil) of that which he created. From the evil of darkness when it is tense.
From the evil of malignant witchcraft. And from the evil of the envier
when he envieth.
Here Allah refers to the foreigners and foreign enemies who are strangers
to you and your country. You must fight them!
As in a dark night in which everything is obscured, the darkness of
evil and ignorance covers the valley of Mina and the vision of Arafat.
The insight of Mashar and the ideal faith of Mina are all lost in the dark!
As a result, you are in Mina but you cannot see nor realize important matters.
You have love but do not know for whom! You have faith but do not know
in whom! And, you will sacrifice your "son" not for the sake of God but
before Satan! Darkness is everywhere!!! You shoot not at Satan but at the
angels! You sacrifice man not the sheep! You perform the Sa'y not willingly,
but in response to the pull of the enemy's bridle! You begin circumambulation
not by having Allah in your intention, but as if it is a dance to the ring
of Nimrod.
Oppression is everywhere! There are secret as well as obvious plots
by clever politicians, brain-washer and hooligans gossiping to cause disunity
and animosity and to create the "uprising fists" from the "uptiding hands".
They conspire to alter the ties whereby your brother becomes your enemy
or your enemy pretends to be your brother, to break all relationships,
to paralyze all decisions, to weaken your faith, to cause sectarianism
in religion and to promote disunity within the community. This is done
so that each sect can be easily manipulated by the imperialists and their
agents Finally, the jealous ones must be considered. Such a person is not
one who is sick and keeps his jealousy in his heart but the envious one.
He is neither a foreign oppressor who obviously acts by force not an agent
who works secretly for his "boss" and for money. No! It is an acquaintance,
a mate, a relative, a deceiver, a puppet who commits treachery and pretends
to be your friend, a murderer who claims innocence, an unsuspected corruptor
or an unintentional troublemaker who is motivated by the most incurable
disease - jealousy. This complex shatters victorious revolutions, knocks
down the freedom-fighters at the peak of their devotion and sacrifice and
realizes the shedding of blood between friends. Consequently, the righteous
believer becomes a puppet of the non-believers. The non-believer performs
this so intelligently that people are not aware of his plans. This is why
you see the "oppressor's" dark tent at the top of Mina and the "agent's"
ambush near it. But, what about the jealous one who is ill and does not
seem to be the enemy? Although he may hate your enemy more than you, he
is the puppet! So in terms of the evils, he is the last one and therefore
the last idol to be shot on the first day. This is the hidden enemy of
your faith and aspirations. Here again, the trinity exists.
Oppressor: The cruel oppressor (i.e. first idol) Agent: The agent who
corrupts the morals and intelligence of people (i.e. second idol). Jealous
One: The oppressor's spy, the agent's puppet and a friend in service of
enemy (i.e. third idol)
However, it is not very difficult to defeat these evils. Wait for the
first beams of the dawn which will overcome the darkness and illuminate
the valley of Mina. They will ignite the enemy's tent and overthrow the
darkness and ignorance. The agents who hid in the dark behind the rocks
will be forced to flee. The complexes of jealousy will remain untouched
but will be buried in the hearts of ill-friends!
As Imam Fakhr Razi noted, Sura Dawn points to one characteristic of
God, while Sura People, points to three characteristics. This indicates
a more serious danger which seems to be more difficult to get rid of it.
In Sura CXIII (Dawn) Almighty God is called upon as the "God of dawn".
This chapter describes the darkness and its power at the enemy of the sun;
but by SUNRISE they will die. In Sura CXIV (People), Almighty God is called
upon as the "Lord" the "King" and the "Love"; these are the three powers
or enemies of man who live among the people and claim to be their Lord.
Say I seek refuge of: Lord of the people, King of the people, God
of the people or Love of the people.
Sura Dawn refers to this world, the society, the power of darkness when
it takes over, those who knowingly and secretly brain-wash people and the
selfish treacherous ones. It speaks of three social disasters - darkness
and injustice, corruption and straying, selfishness and treachery!
Who is sacrificed here?
Mankind, human society and revolutionary movements! Sura People speaks
of social systems, social structures and the governing power who makes
decisions for the people. It refers to the existing relationship between
the people and their lord or their god-father. It mentions the real evil,
the usual enemy of the people.
And who is sacrificed here? Not the human being, not the human society
but the "people themselves"!
Idols are created and worshipped. They claim God's special attributes
and place themselves only in relationship to the Lord and the people NOT
in relationship to the world or nature! Simple minded people are enslaved
by them. In contrast to the opinion of some educated individualists who
search for the truth by reading texts rather than facing the facts, monotheism
and polytheism, are not two philosophical theories or disputes in the temple;
they are live and productive facts in human nature and life. Monotheism
and polytheism are in the heart of movements and socio-economic struggles
of people of all times. In other words, polytheism is a faith as well as
history's dominating faith. Yes, it is the opium of the people!!! On the
other hand, monotheism which is the blood, arm, nature and guide of the
people is history's condemned faith!!!
The biggest, worst and most discreet "tragedy of mankind", as yet not
well understood by many intellectuals, is the "slavery of mankind by his
only means of freedom" and the "torturing and killing of people by their
only source of honorable living"! How? Through converting one faith into
another (such as concealing polytheism behind the visage of monotheism)!
This is demonstrated by the great hypocrises of history - Eblis disguised
as a holy man; Tawheed in the service of Shirk!; Shirk, the faith of the
Godfathers who represent Satan!, and the mischievous Khannas; the enemy
of people! Therefore, the word "people" is repeated several times in Sura
People. Who are these godfathers that live among people and have such influential
power? Who are the oppressors that rebel against God and disrespect human
rights? Once again they are the three oppressors, the Trinity! They usurp
the three positions that belong only to God and are described in Sura People.
Monotheism: Unity of the attributes.
Polytheism:
Disunity of the attributes; the Trinity; "Cain the murder" who appears
in three faces and rules the children of Abel. (There is one Cain and Pharoah,
Croesus and Balam are his three faces. They are not three "persons" but
three "faces".Surprisingly, in all the Trinities of history, God is symbolized
as "one" head that has "three" faces!)
Long ago, people lived as a brotherhood. Forests and rivers were their
common wealth. They all had their share sitting at the free table of nature.
Fishing and hunting was a means for acquiring food for survival. God was
the only owner and all people were considered equal. People adhered to
the morals of Abel and lived like him. But, later Cain became the farmer
and claimed the land as his own, thereby restricting its use.
The unity was broken! Worshipping one God was replaced by worshipping
many; Cain appeared with three faces and people worshipped him instead
of God. An inauspicious triangle, the Trinity, is the graveyard of all
the messengers, freedom-fighters and martyrs. It is an "ill-omened chain"
which like the "chains of slavery" is used to enslave "the obedients of
God" and make them "slaves of the rulers"! The Trinity is like a three
way partnership in one company; one partner propagandizes, one robs your
pocket and the third gets a share of the profits. The last one pretends
to be a spiritual man and whispers so-called "heavenly words" in your ears:
Oh my brother, be patient! Leave this world to the worldly, people.
Suffer in this world in order to go to heaven during the hereafter. Even
if you die of hunger, have tolerance.Had the people concerned with this
world only known the rewards in the hereafter for being poverty stricken
and oppressed, they would have been envious of your future happiness!!!
Nothing can be done. What is happening to us is our predestined fate.
The poor are born poor and lucky ones are born lucky. Any objection is
an opposition to God's will, so be thankful for what you have. Leave your
judgments to the hereafter.Be patient and don't complain about your poverty
and oppression or you will loose the rewards in the here after'.
Don't forget that complaining about people is like complaining about
God. The right of justice belongs only to God and not to people, not in
this world but in the hereafter. Any judgments are to be made only by God,
therefore, be careful so that you do not feel shame on the day of judgment
when you see God, the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful who forgives
the oppressor whom you did not forgive in this world! Everyone is responsible
for his own deed. In order to persuade people to do good and prohibit them
from doing bad, you must be first righteous, knowledgeable and effective.
However, do you think it is dangerous, then you are not obliged to do it
...
So the three friends are close to each other. Cain who wears three masks
is the eternal God of the Trinity. It does not matter if they act under
the banner of Islam or are anti-lslamic, if they act under monotheism or
poly theism. They are the ones who in the name of faith make the laws and
constitutions to rule the people everywhere and always! The three oppressors
are the three faces of Cain, the "owner" who killed his brother Abel, a
shepherd and became the guardian of Abel's orphaned children. The murderer
became the heir of the victims!
Surprisingly, all the Ibrahimian prophets who proclaim monotheism and
justice, the true heirs of Abel during the first common period - were all
shepherds! Our illiterate prophet Mohammed (PBUH), the last in a series
of these messengers, was a shepherd in Gararit.
There is no prophet who was not once a shepherd.
And it is the tradition of Cain, that his children, "Wolf", "Fox" and
"Rat", have tried their best throughout history to herd the children of
Abel (people) as sheep by means of oppression, brain-washing and despotism!
This is why occasionally at different periods of time - instead of a philosopher,
learned person or a chief of a center of civilization, educational institution,
scientific society or religious temple - a shepherd or illiterate one from
the heart of the desert suddenly arises and leaves his flock to become
the leader and liberate the victims of Cain's power! They arise to use
their sticks to knock on the heads of those who call themselves the "Lord
of the earth". Here is how we realize the beauty of the meanings of Allah's
words in the Holy Quran:
Quran LVII: 25
We verily sent our messengers with clear proofs and revealed with
them the Scripture and the Balance so that mankind may observe right measures;
and He revealed Iron wherein is mighty power and many uses for mankind
...
Hence, throughout history, whenever a messenger came forth from amongst
the people to carry on his mission or when a responsible person supported
the cause of justice and called upon the people to be united, to struggle
for justice and to be aware of what was happening in their society, immediately
the ruling powers would wholeheartedly attempt to assassinate that individual
or his character. For one generation or more those same assassins would
mourn the deceased, become heirs to his mission and assume his leadership.
Quran III: 21
Lo! Those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah and slay the prophets
wrongfully and slay those of mankind who enjoin equity:announce to them
a painful doom.
However, if the prophet was victorious in the battle, the opposition
temporarily ceased their efforts, changed their positions and masked their
faces only to succeed him and inherit his book and sword a generation later.
- There is one Cain with three faces, seven colors, seventy masks, seven
thousand names and seventy thousand tricks!
- There is one Cain who is the murderer and killed his brother!
- There is one Cain who is the owner and all the people are owned by
him!
- There is one Cain who is the ruler and all the people are his servants.
- There is one Cain who made two enemies of two brothers!
- There is one Cain who changed two equals into unequals!
He divided mankind into two races, society into two classes, made history
bi polar and converted the unity into a duality, The Quran uses the term
despising to describe the act of making people weak and vulnerable.
- There is one Cain who acts (despises) from three bases by using his
three children:
By force: Despotism, Politics, Pharoah By blood-shed: Exploitation,
Economics, Croesus By deception: Brain-washing, Faith, Balam
It is one "ruling class" that has three faces (or powers). There is
one Cain who converts the unity into a Trinity! He employs many approaches
- openly or secretly, belief or disbelief, unity or trinity, anarchy or
law, dictator ship or democracy, slavery or freedom, feudalism or bourgeoisism,
faith or science, spiritualism or intellectualism, philosophy or sufism,
happiness or suffering, civilized or savage, regression or progression,
idealism or materialism, Christianity or Islam, Sunnism or Shi'ahism! These
faces go and return. You kick them out of your door but they enter through
your window! For instance, slavery was opposed but the master became a
Feudal Lord and the slave became a farmer. Feudalism was defeated by the
success of a great revolution, but it became capitalism and the farmer
became a factory worker.
With the help of Allah, Moses (PBUH) drowned Pharoah in the Nile, buried
Croesus and used his stick to struggle with the magicians. Soon after,
the Pharoah who drowned in the Nile reappeared by coming out of the Jordan
River. He called himself Sham'oon, the successor of Moses (PBUH) and carried
Moses' cane instead of a whip. Pharoah's magicians became the children
of Aaron and the companions of Moses. They carried the Scripture instead
of the magic ropes in their hands. Balam became the spiritual leader. Croesus,
held the treasury and became the trustee of the nation of unity. All three
(Pharoah, Balam and Croesus) assisted each other in embezzling Palestine
as the "promised land"; the old Egyptians are now called new Israelis.
Then, Jesus (PBUH) appeared. He abrogated Judaism and overthrew the
Roman Empire. However, Caesar, changed his name to Pope, the Jewish rabbis
were replaced by Christian monks, the old Roman genates became clergymen
and Vatican cardinals, the palace was called the church and Jupiter assumed
the name of Jesus (PBUH).
Then Mohammed (PBUH) came. Caesar and the Persian King were defeated,
the priest and Mubed were rejected and Persian and Arab aristocrats were
no longer recognized. But later, Caesar and the King were replaced by the
Caliphs, the priest and Mubed became the Imam and Quzil and Zorastrian
social classes (Dehganan, Aswaram, to Kmedaran, Aristocrats, feudals...)
were called the companions, children of the Imam, the honorables, the nobles...The
Roman Empire and Persian Kingdom changed their names to the Caliphate of
God's messenger, massacres were labelled acts of Jihad, plunders were considered
as Zakat and the suffering of people was viewed as the will of God.
The Prophet Mohammed's (PBUH) family was either killed, imprisoned or
exiled. The right to continue his prophecy was disregarded. The family
of Abu-Sufyan, and the Abbassians became his successors. Ali sincerely
tried to follow and support the tradition of Mohammed (PBUH). He and his
followers resisted the Caliphate for two hundred and fifty years but they
were all martyred. Their devoted followers opposed the ignorant traditions
and aristocracy of the Caliphs. They sacrificed their lives to overthrow
the cruel and oppressive regimes. Imamate and Adalat (Justice), were chosen
as the slogans of their party. Suddenly, the caliph became a Shi'ee and
the Safavi King assumed the position of Shi'ah leadership. The Caliph's
house became the King's palace and so on ...!!!
In Europe, the scientific revolution overcame the church. Science took
the place of religion! The old theological schools were transformed into
modern universities. The spiritual people were expelled to the corner of
the temples by the scientists; Balam left the church and appeared at the
university! The French Revolution eradicated feudalism but Croesus who
was defeated in his village rushed to the city and established a bank!
Although Pharoah was beheaded by the blade of a guillotine and buried in
the Wersa Palace, by a democratic vote, he was resurrected and supported
by Croesus' money and Balam's magic! DeGaulle came to power.
We will never get rid of our cousins, the children of Cain who always
support each other. If you defeat one by seizing his arm, the second one
will try to buy you with his money; if this fails, the third one will cheat
you in the name of faith! If none of these methods succeed, they will try
to achieve their ends by using science, art, philosophy or ideology. And,
if one of these are effective, they will resort to mourning, crying, begging,
praying or simply keeping your mind occupied so that you will not realize
what is happening! They will make you believe that history is responsible
for all the faults and hatreds which exist and that all the loves belongs
to the hereafter! If none of these approaches work, they turn you into
a "crazy consumer" whereby you spend all your earnings in order to live
luxuriously. As a result, you are constantly in debt and working all day
for nothing. Is this what is called "your living" - to work and overwork
so that you have more "conveniences" and simultaneously kill yourself all
day and night yet still feel lagging many years behind?!! All human values
and freedoms are sacrificed for the sake of living luxuriously! The ease
and comfort of life is sold to pay for the luxuries. All your life, you
hurry and worry to the degree that you do not have time to stop and think;
you do not even have a change to understand what is going on! And finally
if none of these work, there is the propaganda of sex, jazz ... "getting
high" on heroin, marijuana, LSD and a thousand other ways. Right or wrong,
anyway will be employed to keep your mind occupied, to prevent you from
thinking about the present and to push you astray with or without faith!
We are the "orphans" of history; that is, the poor and oppressed on
this earth. We, the children of the martyred Abel, are the true believers
in God. We are the children of Adam demonstrating high qualities, supporting
brother hood, loving equality, representing the original pure nature of
humanity and representing the true picture of monotheism, unity and peace
...! We are a memory of the era when there was only one community which
ate at the common table of nature. But ... all of this was buried after
our father, Abel, was martyred. Through trickery and treachery, his blood
was shed. He became the innocent victim of capitalism (Cain's ownership)!
The desire to revenge him has always remained in our hearts as a hope
and wish. Impatiently, we have waited to one day see a prophet who would
help us with our cause! Monotheism is the torch of this hope and the signal
of the prophecy which was carried on the shoulders of the shepherd throughout
history.
They transferred this flag from hand to hand and from generation to
generation. It went from Abel to Ibrahim, from Ibrahim to Mohammed, from
Mohammed to Hussein and from him to everywhere and everyday until the very
last day, the day of judgment! It went to the world-wide revolution of
justice, the leadership of the victims of oppression and the heirs of the
poorest on earth! The flag is carried on hand to hand, drawing a "red line"
on the earth! In contrast, the flag of the non-believers which signifies
cruelty, ignorance and being blood-thirsty passes from hand to hand of
the three false Gods
Belief or disbelief is not fanaticism or a lack of unity nor is it the
simple imagination or dispute of a sufi or philosopher. It is intended
to guide mankind to the right path of maturity and evolution instead of
being misled and going astray. The meanings of these two words are clear
and the differences are as obvious as those between "justice" and "injustice".
Any other description is wrong and false; it is intended to confuse and
deceive us. Be careful not to be cheated by falsehood since throughout
history which has been full of "hypocrisy", only "Cain's" children have
had the right to speak of justice and faith; they could not even talk about
their martyred father! In order to know the story of Abel and his children,
listen only to the Holy Quran and NOT to those who want to speak for them.
Since some of Cain's descendants are commentators for the Quran, you
should read the text itself and comprehend what it says because it is the
only document which has been saved from their embezzlement. Listen to the
Quran to learn the story of mankind and the meaning of the "prophecy".
Quran II: 213
Mankind was one common society, having the same equity. God sent
the Messengers to warn those hypocrites who knowingly blocked justice and
caused oppression.
This was not done because of simple differences in opinion or being
prejudiced; it was done intentionally and out of jealousy! Listen directly
to the words of Allah who explains why He appointed the prophets and sent
them to us.'
Quran LVII, XXV
Verily we sent our messengers with clear proofs and revealed with
them the scripture and the balance so that mankind may observe right measures
...
Search the Holy Quran again. You will be told in a simple and clear
way not by philosophical theories, not in sophisticated language and not
by the use of confusing scholastic theological terms. The Quran is written
in such simple language that it is even understood by illiterate people.
Quran IV: 76
Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah and those who
disbelieve do battle for the cause of false Gods. So, fight the Minions
of the devil. Lo, the devils strategy is ever weak.
Fight the Minions (servants) of the devil? Yes, the false Gods of Trinity!
- Oh you who love to help the cause of Almighty God,
- Oh you who protect yourself from the devil's constant attacks by your
knowledge and awareness
- Oh you who resist the devil's magic and gimmicks by your righteousness
The enemy, like a spider, has spun a web whose texture is money and
power in order to trap people and suck their blood. "Do not be afraid of
dying and do not call off or delay the battle. Be righteous and you will
not even face a trace of danger."
- Oh you who believe in monotheism and the responsibility of vengeance
for Abel's blood-shed,
- Oh you who shoulder the responsibilities of the prophets - "the Book",
"the Balance" and "the Iron".
- Oh you who are a "child of Adam",
- Oh you who are from amongst the people,
- Oh you who are an example of "ability", "freedom", and "intelligence
",
Seek refuge in Allah, "the Owner of mankind, the King of mankind
and the Love of mankind!"
- Oh Hajj who has marched the red path of martrydom by going from Arafat
to Mina,
- Oh Hajj who has stepped on the grave of the last idol
- Oh Hajj who has ascended to the peak of freedom
- Oh Hajj who has conquered the land of Mina (your Mina),
- Oh follower of the tradition of Ibrahim (PBUH) and Mohammed (PBUH),
Be alert and very careful! You are in danger (the danger of Cain and
the fear of the return of false gods)! The messenger is in danger! His
message is in danger! Be careful of the danger of the idols. Seek refuge
in "the Owner, the King and Love of the people". There are three idols
who represent one evil, one Cain - so fear:
Quran CXIV 4-6
The evil of a sneaky whisperer, The one who whispers into the heart
of mankind, The Jinn and mankind.
What or who is the "Waswas" (whisperer)? The dictionary defines it as
the one who whispers a rumor or hint; the state of melancholy which is
a disease that disturbs the mind creates a feeling of uselessness in one's
consciousness. What is suggested to you enters your subconscious; it appears
to you and speaks to you. You can hear it but not with your ears! You can
see it but not with your eyes! How is this whisperer who disturbs minds?
He is a sneaky "Khannas". What is a "Khannas"? The dictionary defines it
as whatever leads you astray, attracts you, absorbs you, follows you or
cheats you. Even though you try to escape, it will persist after you. What
does the "sneaky whisperer" do? It promotes temptation and inspires evil
suggestions into your heart. What is "Temptation"? The dictionary defines
it as enticing someone to commit an unwise or immoral act; to cause a disease
which disturbs one's wisdom and creates a state of deliriousness, perplexity
and uselessness! What is the "sneaky whisperer" made of? It can be of a
"Jinn" or mankind. What is a "Jinn"? It is a mysterious, invisible and
inhuman power which handles mankind. How clearly it is defined, yet more
clever and tragic today. Those three idols are hidden but visible. They
go, change colors and return. They will be defeated and will rise again.
Today capitalism and ruling colonialism are covered up by neo-colonialism.
The three idols are involved in alienating and brain-washing mankind with
the help of their experts and advanced technology.
As "Shandel" says, "Today's greatest danger for mankind is not the explosion
of the atomic bomb, but the transformation of human nature. The human element
in mankind is being demolished with such great speed that a non-human race
is being produced. A machine with the appearance of a man is created neither
by God nor nature. Man becomes a slave who does not see or know his master.
His only freedom is to try his best to be a better slave. He is exchanged
for money, but he pays the price himself. He will wait for hours in the
long lines of the "house of robbers" awaiting his turn to be robbed! He
is like a slave who grows no more. He gets whatever he wants for the price
of what ever he has! He believes only in "business" and this faith makes
him pay for more than what he gets. His life pattern is designed before
he is born. This way his life is an assignment rather than true living!
Now he has the chance to discover the world, but he has lost God and humanity
"forever ... "
The tragedy is beyond one's imagination. Human nature is changing. Those
three tempting evils are not only the force of "arms", the power of "gold"
or the deception of "beads". They have also employed the extraordinary
power of "science", the surprising magic of "art" and the huge power of
"technique" in their tricks and cover-up plans!
Nowadays it appears as if there is no yoke of slavery existing, but
in reality, people all over the world are enslaved by invisible chains.
People are free to vote for who they want, but long before they vote, "sneaky
whisperers" have whispered in their hearts.
Today's tragedy is one of "alienation". To alienate means to become
unfriendly and indifferent. The alienated is the insane, someone whose
true personality or consciousness is hidden. Political despotism, social
discrimination and old western exploitation methods are gradually disappearing,
but they reappear in a worse shape - as capitalistic regimes hiding behind
the masks of liberalism and democracy. Slavery, plunderings of "Tatars"
and Gengisian Laws (Yasa), oppression and torture by the cruel regimes
of "Teimoor" and "Halakoo" have disappeared in the east, but they are all
returning in a more deceptive fashion, in the name of modernization and
civilization, only to hide the true face of colonialism.
The tyrannical rulers and the professional murderers of old colonialism
are disappearing in the third world, but their economic systems, political
regimes, social relations, education, arts, morals, freedom of sex, ideologies,
propaganda of the media, literature, fashion, cultural madness, nihilism,
superconsumerism and westernization all invisibly reappear in the new colonialism.
They appear not as men in military bases administration offices, streets
or markets.
In an invisible way, they enter with insensible hands and secret relations
to shape the economic structure, social system, beliefs nature, spirit,
morals, "values", "votes" and minds of the people (alienation).
In these fourteen centuries there has never been a better time to translate
the meaning of this wonderful chapter (Quran CXIV). In over five hundred
centuries of the life of mankind, the "sneaky whisperer" has never sacrificed
human beings by his obvious and secret temptations. The "evil whisperer"
has never destroyed the hearts of mankind by his mischief. Oh yes never!
These last verses of the glorious revelation were translated so clearly
through history!
Today's intellectuals and sociologists, who are familiar with capitalism
and neocolonialism, know very well that these systems "will burn a whole
market if they want a handkerchief." They know how to abuse science in
order to achieve their ends and promote ignorance in the name of civilization.
They know how witches and sneaky whisperers corrupt the nation's culture,
faith, will consciousness and leave their hearts empty. This causes alienation
whereby they have a negative opinion of themselves. An attempt is made
to make them mere imitators and consumers and nothing else!
Today's conscious humanitarian workers whose vision is not limited by
traditional and sectarian views are not preoccupied by local problems,
historical prejudice, professional, educational and familiar situations.
They are not satisfied being mere observers to unstable political operations;
neither do they superficially evaluate what is happening to the people
nor do they feel happy to suggest simple resolutions. Rather, they care
for human-beings and humanitarian rights! They are the ones who realize
the effects of colonization, stealing the natural resources of poor nations
of the third world, appointing cruel agents to run these countries and
disregarding humanitarian rights ... All these are true tragedies caused
by outsiders. The real fearful tragedy is what is happening in the hearts
of people. The dangers of outsiders, the evil rulers and mischief and jealousies
of the complexed people were not considered that important. They were mentioned
in the chapter before the last (CXIII).
The most dreadful tragedy threatening the world population is the "alienation
of mankind" ... becoming inhuman! The tragedy is the whisperer who damages
not only the body, but the spirit as well. That is what scares the conscious
and responsible intellectuals of our time. He is the one who knows the
people as well as the whisperer. He understands the severity of "alienation".
He has seen "humanity" sacrificed wherever "humanitarian rights" are disrespected.
He is the one who knows the evil-doers and idol makers who can't always
be seen. Sometimes they are hidden or they may be a mysterious power. They
don't have to use the yoke of slavery; they may whisper in the hearts.
Covertly and quietly, they may enter the mind, disturb it, change the personality
and replace "one" by someone else! This is "Alienation"! Yes, the danger
lies in ambush, worse than ever, not behind the rocks or mountains but
deep in your heart or in your conscience. It is not an ambush for your
life or your money, but for your faith, your "humanity", your knowledge,
your love, your victory, your struggle, the inheritance of your history,
your way to become like Ibrahim and your way to approach Almighty God.
Your enemy is not always arms or an army. It is not necessarily a known
outsider. It may be a system or a feeling, a thought or a possession, a
way of life or a type of work, a way of thinking or a working tool, a type
of production or a way of consumption, culturalism, colonization, religious
brainwashing, exploitation, a social relation or propaganda. It can be
neo colonialism, bureaucracy, technocracy or automation. At times it is
exhibitionism, nationalism and racism while other times it is nazifascism,
bourgeoisism and militarism. It may be love for joy (epiqurism), love for
ideas (idealism), love for matter (materialism), love for art and beauty
(romanticism), love for nothing (existentialism), love for land and blood
(racism), love for heroes and central government (fascism), love for individuals
(individualism), love for all (socialism), love for economy (communism),
love for wisdom (philosophy), love for feeling (gnosticism), love for heaven
(spiritualism), love for existence (realism), love for history (fatalism)
love for God's will (determinism), love for sex (Freudism), love for instincts
(biologism), love for the hereafter (faith), superstitiousness of idealism,
gluttony of economism ... These are the idols of the new polytheism. The
new civilization is like Latt, Ezza, Asaf and Naelah of the new Quraish.
How do you realize the meaning of pure worship of Almighty God and love
for Allah? How broad is the meaning of monotheism and how great is it's
prophecy? People today are more apt to use "reason" rather than to be obedient
to God. Because of the influence of science, they care less about faith.
By so doing, they have denied God and rejected faith and have done nothing
in return for th,eir disobedience and refusal of worship. The new polytheism
in this civilization has many more meaner Gods (Idols) than the old polytheism
of the "time of ignorance".
The ancient Arabs used to worship statues made of gold and covered with
jewels. They were symbols of power, beauty, perfection, abundance, goodness
and charity. They were sacred and respected but the symbols of today's
new polytheism are as low as the lower part of the human body. The three
ever lasting false Gods are oppressing more than ever. Today's Pharoah
is not a person; it is a system! Croesus is not one; it is a class. Balam
does not speak of faith anymore; rather he speaks of science, ideology
and art!
Surprisingly, in the chapter before the last, the Quran speaks of three
evils who are unique in sharing one quality! In the last chapter, it talks
of one evil with three characters - the "Owner" the "King" and the "God";
and this is more dangerous!
The three evils mentioned oppress, brainwash, deceive, murder and plunder.
They neglect human rights and freedom, enslave people, and keep them poor
and ignorant. Somehow, humans will survive the heavy pressures of these
tragedies! Today's greater tragedy is when these anti-human super powers
try to paralyze human values by emptying the hearts of the people for their
own exploitation. History has taught these powers that in order to take
over economically and politically, they have to destroy those values cherished
by the people and then they have to change their human nature. In other
words, they should be alienated.
This "evil" is much worse than the previous ones even though their trouble
making ability is the same everywhere. In the system of trinity, the "Khannas"
is the damage to human nature. It is the danger which threatens the conscience
of the responsible individual. The enemy of mankind goes and comes back!
It is everywhere with three faces and each time it has a different mask.
The "whisperer" is a killing poison that is injected into the human
body by this "three-headed, hundred-faced" snake. Is it not true that Satan
tempted Adam and expelled him out of heaven? He did this by showing himself
in the shape of a snake! The "whisperer"is born of three evils. The "Khannas"
(sneaky) is the representative of those idols and his mischief is much
more tragic. In the last chapters of the book of revelation, we learn that
the sneaky whisperer is more dangerous than the three idols. A heavenly
consciousness is to cut the dark curtain of night by dawn to fight the
three powers that enslave mankind.
To oppose the Satanic power of "Khannas" (the sneaky whisperer), one
has to seek refuge in unity. To eradicate the structure of polytheism in
human consciousness and in society you have to find the three powers of
"ownership", "sovereignty" and "divinity" in Almighty God alone. By doing
this, you are able to establish an Abelian society (i.e. a society based
on equality and oneness of mankind).
We have to build an "exemplary community", the type that was the goal
of Ibrahim's prophecy. The last prophet Mohammed (PBUH) gave us this responsibility.
We understand the tragedy and it is our responsibility to solve it. We
are heirs to Ibrahim's tradition therefore, we must teach his message to
the intellectual generation who is struggling for social justice. We must
save the declining world population. Having the Quran, the family of the
prophet (PBUH) and Hajj gave us a greater responsibility.
The darkness of evil is overwhelmingly ruling the world. The malignant
witchcrafts are more powerful than ever. The sneaky whisperer is stronger
and more tragic!
- Oh you who holds the position of Ibrahim and the last revelation,
you have been given the responsibility of carrying on the mission.
- Oh you, conscious man, representative of Allah and heir to the prophet
Mohammed (PBUH), you have to adopt the prophet as an example for your deeds
and make yourself an example for others.
- Oh you who has the responsibility to establish the "umma" your faith
is based on "the book", "the balance" and "the Iron".
- Oh you who are to establish social justice on earth, fight the enemy
and help the innocent.
- Oh you, the Muslim freedom-fighter, hear the cry of the people, the
mourning of the oppressed and the voice of those who complain of the mischief
of the "sneaky whisperer"
Toynbee sees human civilization threatened by "internal enemies" (i.e.
the foolish enthusiasm for "consumption, consumption and consumption")!
Marcuse has warned that humans are becoming as "one dimensional" as a tool.
Erich Fromm like Diogen, is searching in the town for a "conscious person".
Camuss is raising his voice to say that a "plague" is becoming an epidemic
in "Oran" and in the "temple of civilization", innocent children are dying
of a mysterious disease. John Isolet is talking about the "armed prince"
who is suffering from an "incurable disease".
The Conscious Sculptor of the Netherlands, in a square of the new city
of Netherdome, has designed the sculpture of a man, but his joints are
falling apart! Eliot and Joyce have described the idol (Trezi) as a hermaphrodite
taken from old Greek stories as a symbol of today's man! Eugene lonesko
describes the disasterous situation of a man where the "Khannas" has entered
his spirit and changes him to a Rhinoceros! Kafka describes the picture
of a man who was supposed to be the representative of God and was given
His spirit. Then he shows how he changes totally. Yes, the "The Picture
of Dorian Gray" is not a picture of Standal but a picture of an alienated
man.
- Since "those jealous people are the puppets of the night magicians
and the friends are serving the enemies"!
Seek refuge in the God of dawn to kill the dark by rising the sun in
Mina. And watch!
- Since the false gods have returned cleverly masked by a popular army
and secret arms.
Oh "heir of Abel", "avenger of your father's murderer" - Cain is not
dead! Oh "heir of Adam" "to whom the angels prostrated" - Satan is revenging
now! Get away from this evil that has three faces, seven colors, seventy
thousand tricks and "whispers in the hearts of people".
Seek refuge in Allah, "God of the dawn", "Owner of the people", "King
of the people" and "Love of the people". And you, Oh Hajj remain in Mina
after the "Id of Sacrifice" and shoot the three idols seven times everyday!
Everyday is like the day of immolation, every month is like Zul-Hijjah and every
land is like Mina and ... life is like Hajj!
The time for staying in Mina is over and the ceremonies end near the
border of Mecca. There is one more Tawaf and Sa'y that you can do anytime
toward the end of Zul-Hijjah and if necessary you can do it before leaving
for Arafat. Hajj ceremonies are over and this is all you are supposed to
do.
Oh Hajj who is leaving Mina, the last stage of Hajj - you accepted Ibrahim's
invitation. You escaped the vicious cycle of your individual life. You
came on time to Miqat; you listened to the revelation; you took off your
clothing and put on the white Kafan. You left your home and homeland and
came as a guest to the house of God and the land of Jihad. You made a promise
to God by shaking his right hand. You entered the Tawaf circle and were
lost amongst the people of Taef. You denied self- centeredness. You purified
yourself. You tried your best to search for "water" on top of the mountains.
Then you descended to Arafat from Mecca and from stage after stage (going
to Mashar and Mina), you returned to Allah (returned to Mecca). You gained
"consciousness" in the sunshine of Arafat. You collected your arms in the
darkness of Mashar. Simultaneously, with others you passed the border of
Mina. Satan was defeated by your first attack. You became free and saved
the land of faith and love. You held the position of Ibrahim and ascended
to the peak of honor - the stage beyond Shahadat.
Where do you arrive at the end of this greatest holy trip and highest
degree of human ascension after going through the most dangerous and fearful
passages of creation - Tawheed (unity), Ithar, Jihad (struggle), Shahadat
(martyrdom), fighting with Eblis (Satan) and conquering the land of love?
What do you do? Sacrifice: kill a "lamb"! Why? What is its philosophy?
What is the mystery? What does killing a lamb at the end of Hajj mean?
I can not say! Let Allah himself answer this question:
Oh Hajj - where are you going now? Back home to your life and to your
world? Are you returning from Hajj the same way you came? Never! Never!
You played the "role of Ibrahim" in this symbolic show! A good actor is
he whose personality is fully impressed by the character of the individual
who is playing his role. If he does well, the show will be over but his
work is not done yet. There have been many actors who did not survive the
act they played and died!
You played the role of Ibrahim, not just to play but to worship and
to love. Do not return to play your role after playing the role of Ibrahim!
Do not leave the house of people. Do not isolate yourself. Do not replace
your Ihram with your previous clothing. Leave Mina for Mecca and take your
Ismail with you!
You are like Ibrahim who in the history of mankind was a great fighter
against idolatry. He was the founder of unity in this world and had the
responsibility of leading his people. He was a rebellious leader whose
soul was suffering, whose heart was loving, whose thoughts were enlightening
and ...
The axe was in his hand! Faith was raised in the hearts of the Kofr
and monotheism flourished in the midst of polytheism. Ibrahim, the fighter
of idolatry, came out of the house of "Azar", the idol-maker of his tribe.
He broke the idols; he broke Nimrood. He fought against ignorance, oppression
and passiveness. He rebelled against the tranquility of suffering and the
security established by persecution. He was a guide for his tribe and the
founder of his movement, life, direction, hope, goal and faith of unity.
You are like Ibrahim! Fight the fire, the fire of oppression and ignorance
so that you may save your people. The fire is in the fate of every responsible
individual; it is your duty to guide and save. But ... Allah makes the
fireplace of Nimrod and his followers a rose garden for Ibrahim and his
followers. You will not burn or turn into ashes. This teaches you to be
ready to jump into the fire for Jihad (Struggle)! And
... to teach, let yourself into the fire in order to prevent the people
from burning. ... to the more painful stage of Shahadat.
You are like Ibrahim! Sacrifice your Ismail. Put the knife to his throat
with your hands...Save the throat of the people from being cut-the people
are always sacrificed at the doors of palaces of power, and temples of
torture. PUT THE BLADE AT YOUR SON'S THROAT SO THAT YOU MAY TAKE THE BLADE
FROM THE EXECUTIONER'S HAND!
But ... Allah will pay the ransom of your Ismail. You do not kill and
do not lose your Ismail. THIS IS TO TEACH YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE READY
TO SACRIFICE YOUR ISMAIL (LOVE) IN YOUR OWN HANDS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR
FAITH!..."to the more painful stage of Shahadat"! And now, Oh Hajj who
is returning from circumambulating love, you are in the position of Ibrahim.
You have reached the point where he did.
Ibrahim's life was filled with struggle when he reached this point-
braking the idols, fighting with Nimrod, tolerating his fire, struggling
with Eblis, sacrificing his Ismail, migration, homelessness, loneliness
torture, passage from the stage of prophecy to the stage of leadership
(Imamat), going from "individuality" to "collectivity" and being from "the
house of "Azar" to being "the builder of the house of unity" (Kaaba)!
At the end of his life, gray-haired and old, Ibrahim built the house
of Allah and laid down the black stone. His helper Ismail carried the rocks
and handed them to his father. How wonderful! Ibrahim and Ismail built
the Kaaba. Ibrahim and Ismail, one was saved from the fire and one saved
from being sacrificed. Both were representatives of Allah and were responsible
to the people. They were the architects of the oldest temple of "unity"
on this earth, and the first house of the people." The "free house," the
house of love and worship (Haram), is a symbol of "heavenly privacy".
You are in "Ibrahim's position" - right where he stood. The very last
step of his ascension, in Miraj, is the shortest distance toward Allah.
You, the builder of Kaaba, the architect of the "house of freedom",
the founder of unity, the enemy of idolatry, the tribal leader, the fighter
against oppression, ignorance and disbelief - now you build a house, not
for yourself, not even a shelter for your son, not a house for "the people".
It is a shelter for those homeless people who are wounded, tortured or
victims of oppression and have no place to go. Nimrod is following them
everywhere ... The Harem becomes a torch in the middle of this dark night
and a cry amidst this damn oppression! It is secure, clean and free for
mankind, the family of God. Everywhere else is insecure and shameful. The
earth has become a huge polluted house of prostitution.
It is a slaughterhouse where everything but aggression and discrimination
are forbidden.
Now that you are standing in Ibrahim's position and are going to play
his role, live like him, be the architect of the Kaaba of your faith. Rescue
your people from the lagoon of their life. Re-breathe life into their bodies
that are numb and dead from the suffering of oppression and the darkness
of ignorance. Encourage them to stand on their feet and give them direction.
Call upon them to come to Hajj, to Tawaf (circumambulating). After entering
Tawaf, denying selfishness and purifying yourself to adopt the characteristics
of Ibrahim, you have promised God to follow his path. Allah is your witness.
- Make your land a secure land, since you are in a safe area.
- Change your time to a respectful time, as if you are always in the
state of Ihram.
- Make the earth a sacred mosque, since you are in the holy mosque.
- Since the earth is the "mosque of Allah".
