THE THIRD WARNING: HIDAYAT

THE THIRD WARNING

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

To the Men of Knowledge and Its Representatives,

My Esteemed Brothers and Sisters,

This WARNING is the first of the HIDAYAT WARNINGS, which will mark our century.

The part of Faith (Iman) that forms salvation (prosperity) is HIDAYAT.
IF THERE IS NO HIDAYAT, THERE IS NO FAITH.

The Holy Qur'an considers HIDAYAT the posture of the Qur'an, its base, its whole content and its spirit (essence). Everything that leads to the happiness of Heaven and of this world is a part of HIDAYAT.

It is possible only through HIDAYAT to be saved from blasphemy (kufr), from attributing a partner to Allah (shirk), from being in loss (hursan), from misguidance (dalalat), from Hell, from being a servant and a friend of Satan (Taghut), from unhappiness, from being unthankful (to Allah), from being heedless of the Verses of Allah, from being (back) in blasphemy (fısq), and from rebellion. RELIGION CANNOT BE LIVED unless there is HIDAYAT.

It is only possible by stepping onto HIDAYAT and attaining HIDAYAT to be mumin (those among the believers of Allah, who wish to reach Him), to be in one group/nation, to be the one who deserves Heaven, to get to the point (of salvation) where the degrees earned are more than the ones lost, to be a friend (saint) of Allah, to be a servant to Allah, to be thankful (to Allah), to be one of the saedd, to submit to Allah and to be happy.

Being close (of certainty) to the Verses of Allah (ilmal yakeen, aynal yakeen, Haqqul yakeen), submitting the spirit, physical body, and soul (ego) to Allah, being a man of divine wisdom, being appointed to the post of Irshad (Guidance) through submitting the free will to Allah, in other words, it is the fulfillment of 4 submissions within 7 phases!
This is the whole HIDAYAT.

In this warning is presented the answer to the question, "WHAT IS HIDAYAT?"

The command of having the spirit reach Allah before death is explained with the concept ‘HIDAYAT' in the Holy Qur'an. Three verses tell us very clearly what HIDAYAT is. Allah Almighty states it as:

3 / AL- 'IMRAN 73: "And believe no one unless he follows (depends on) your religion." (O My Beloved!) Say: "No doubt, HIDAYET (The True Guidance Leading To Allah) is the Guidance of Allah (reaching Allah) (making the spirit reach Allah before death). Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) like unto that which was sent unto you? Or that those (receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord?" Say: "No doubt, fazl (virtue) is in the hand of Allah. He grants it to whom He pleases. And Allah cares for all, and He knows all things."

2 / BAQARAH 120:Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, reaching Allah, that is the (only) Guidance (Hidâyet). And if you were to follow their desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'ân), then you would have against Allah neither any "Velî" (Protector or Guardian, Friend) nor any helper.

18 / AL-KAHF 17: (O My Messenger! If you had been there) you would have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave; and when it set, turning away from them to the left. They were in the open space in the midst of the Cave. This is among the Verses of Allah. He whom Allah pleases attains HIDAYET (True Guidance Leading To Allah), and for the one who is in DALAET (Misguidance), no guiding friend (Messenger) can be found.

The expressions in brackets are our additions. Why did we make additions as (to Allah or Himself)? In these three verses, it is said that "Allah's making one reach" is HIDAYAT. But reach where? It becomes obvious and certain in two Verses that the place where He will make one reach is the wajh of Allah, the Self (Essence) of Allah, Himself.

42 / ASH - SHÛRA 13: Saying, "Establish religion and make no divisions in it," He (Allah) has ordained the same religion for you as that which We ordained for Noah - that which We have revealed to you - and that which We ordained for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. The thing (invitation to Allah and to have faith in Allah) to which you invited was hard for those MUSHRIK (those who attribute a partner to Allah). Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides (takes) unto Himself those who turn to Him.

So in Surahs Ali İmran-73, Baqarah-120, and Kahf-17, it becomes definite that reaching HIDAYAT is delivering the spirit to Allah while alive in this world.

The conclusion that we derive from the Verses is that according to our Holy Qur'an, HIDAYAT is clearly and definitely: "The reaching of the human spirit to Allah before death."

Therefore, we face a clear verdict here that the concept of ‘HIDAYAT' has been changed throughout 14 centuries. The concept has deviated from its real meaning, which is the reaching of the human spirit to Allah before death, and it has been given a new meaning as ‘the right path/way.' ‘The right path/way' is a vague term. There might be different right paths for everyone.

For example, fulfilling the Five Pillars of Islam is considered to be on the right path. Nobody can enter Heaven with the Five Pillars of Islam. And thus, the concept of HIDAYAT has been taken away from its real meaning, which will take human beings to the happiness of Heaven.

The verses show in a very obvious way that whoever wishes to make his spirit reach Allah before death will surely go to Heaven. If he makes his spirit reach Allah, he will go to the higher Heavens. But if we take the term HIDAYAT not as the reaching of spirit to Allah before death, but as ‘the right path/way,' it is an inevitable consequence that everyone will consider himself on the right path. In this way, the real meaning of HIDAYAT has been hidden, and mankind is prevented from going to the Heavens.
So the concept of HIDAYAT has been concealed, and people have been prevented from reaching Heaven. Hiding the concept of HIDAYAT carries heavy guilt according to Allah:

2 / BAQARAH 159:Those who conceal the clear Signs We have sent down, and the HIDAYAT (delivery of spirit to Allah before death), after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, on them shall be Allah's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse as well.

Allah Almighty states:

33 / AL AHZÂB 67:And those who are in Hell say: ‘O Lord! We surely obeyed the SADAT (the religious leaders of the era) and KUBERRA (the people in power), and we went out of the path leading to You (SIRATI MUSTAKIYM).
33 / AL AHZÂB 68:‘Our Lord! Give them double chastisement and curse them with a very great Curse!'

KUBERRA are the people of higher positions who hold the Power in the current era. The SADAT of the time are those who are important. Important reagarding what? Since the subject in question is the fulfillment of a religious duty, they are those who are important in religious education.
In all times, there have been many leaders who had wrong teachings of the religion of Allah.
We are sure that none of the religious scholars in our country are making this wrong application deliberately. Our aim is not to blame them at all. Our duty is to correct those mistakes and help "right" to be taught from now on, and save the religious teachers in our country from the responsibility (wabal) of the sins of the 60 million people who will go to Hell because of the lost meaning of the HIDAYAT.

In the AGE OF HIDAYAT (ASR-I HIDAYAT) that we are in now, these HIDAYAT WARNINGS are the most important pieces and milestones of this sacred duty granted to us.

What Allah Almighty states is very obvious. Those who conceal HIDAYAT earn the curse of Allah. The place they will go is Hell.

Now, 14 centuries after the Holy Qur'an was sent, we have definitely determined that the concept of HIDAYAT has been concealed.
We see that in the 23 Qur'an interpretations now in our country the concept of HIDAYAT has been taken away from ‘the delivery of the spirit to Allah before death' and transformed to a vague meaning as ‘the right path/way.' Since ‘right path/way' has a different meaning for everyone, people carry out the 5 Pillars of Islam and say: "We are on the right path."
They carry out only part of them and still say: "We are on the right path."
However, stepping on HIDAYAT is not fulfilled unless he wishes to reach Allah.
On the day he reaches his Murshid (religious guide appointed by Allah), his spirit leaves his body and takes a path to Allah, which makes him reach a higher Heaven. Whenever a human being reaches his murshid, on that day his spirit leaves his body and takes a path towards Allah. This is a journey to be made over the Sıratı Mustakîm and called "Seyru suluq." The point at which the person starts this journey is the point at which his spirit departs for Allah.
Allah Almighty states that this happens only on the day which the murshid is reached. In our Noble Qur'an, such departure of the spirit, that is the spirit taking a path towards Allah, is classified as the second step of HIDAYAT.
Stepping onto HIDAYAT ends in passing through the seven floors of heaven and reaching Allah. The human spirit passes over 7 layers of heaven on Sıratı Mustakîm (the path leading straight to Allah) by a journey called "Seyru suluq," and finally reaches "Sidret-ül Munteha". Passing over this, the spirit gets to "La Mekân," non-existence, and there attains the Person of Allah. According to Surah Naba - 39:

78 / AN-NABA '39: That Day (the day the pledge is taken by kissing the hand of the MURSHID (the religious guide)) is the Day of Allah. Those who wish (to reach Allah) take the path leading to Allah (the Straight Path to Allah). (Allah) will be a shelter (for the one who wishes to reach Allah).

What happens here is that the spirit of that person vanishes in the Person of Allah, and at this point of disappearance, it submits to Allah.
And this is attaining HIDAYAT.
Wishing to reach Allah is stepping onto HIDAYAT, and having the spirit reach Allah is attaining HIDAYAT. The realization of this depends on a wish, a wish to reach Allah. If one does not have such a wish, Allah Almighty says that he or she is heedless of the verses of Allah, and will go to Hell.
In Surah Yunus 7 - 8, it is stated:

10 / YUNUS 7: Verily, they do not wish to reach Us (to make their spirits reach Allah in this life). They are pleased and satisfied with the life of the present, and they are those who are unaware of Our Verses.
10 / YUNUS 8: Their abode is the Fire (Hell), because of the (bad degrees) they earned.

As you can see, Allah Almighty says that those who do not wish to make their spirits reach Allah before death are heedless of the Verses of Allah.
Moreover, in the following verse, Allah Almighty states that the place where these people will go is Fire, thus Hell.
So, wishing or not wishing to reach Allah is an extremely important subject. For those who do not wish, there is a definite verdict of Allah: HELL.
This shows how important the subject is! So, no human being in this world can get salvation nor enter Heaven unless he or she wishes to reach Allah.

However, today the religion of Islam has confined people to the Five Pillars of Islam: performing regular prayers (salat), fasting, giving alms (zakat), going on a Pilgrimage (Hajj), saying Shadadah (Testimony of Faith); and none of them lead the person to wishing to reach Allah, or make him the owner of such a wish. It has been made clear and definite by the Qur'an that those who do not have such a wish will go to Hell.

So, are there also those who wish HIDAYAT? Yes, there are.
Here is Surah Rad -22:

Allah Almighty states that some people wish to reach Allah with patience.
So, in our Noble Qur'an there are people who wish to reach Allah Almighty.

And does Allah also wish to have these people reach Himself? Yes!

Here is the Verse:

ENAM 125: Those whom Allah (in His plan) wills to guide [HIDAYET (the true guidance leading to Allah)], He opens their breast to Islam; those whom He wills to leave astray (in Dalalet), He makes their breast closed and constricted, as if they had to rise up to the skies. Thus Allah does (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to be Mumin (those among the believers of Allah who wish to reach Him).

So, there must also be a third stage. Allah must be taking those, whomever He wishes to attain Himself.
Does Allah really make these people whom Allah wishes reach Himself? Yes.

It is definite that Allah leads to Himself those who wish to reach Allah.

The Surahs Shura-13 and Rad-27 we have stated at the beginning of our warning are the proof of this fact.

Therefore, for whoever wishes to reach Allah, Allah also wills him to reach Himself, and leads this person to Himself for sure. For all the human beings who wish to reach Allah, Allah also makes them gain the happiness of Heaven.
If this is the case, if 12 times Allah Almighty has made it mandatory for us to wish to have our spirit reach Allah before death and to realize it, if Allah states that anyone who wishes to reach Allah will go to Heaven, if Allah states that He will definitely make them reach Heaven due to being the possessor of taqwa (piety) and also having had their spirits reach Allah, and since all of the disciples of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) have had their spirits reach Allah, and since it is definite according to the Qur'an that they will go to Heaven, and again if 14 centuries later, HIDAYAT, which means the reaching of the human spirit to Allah, has been concealed in almost all interpretations of verses about HIDAYAT in the Qur'an, it is for sure that there is the negative responsibility of their sins (wabal) on the shoulders of these people.

In the WARNINGS ON HIDAYAT, you will see how the concept of HIDAYAT has been made to disappear by human beings in 14 centuries, although HIDAYAT is obviously and definitely placed in the Qur'an.

In this FIRST WARNING on ‘HIDAYAT,' HIDAYAT will be explained to you with the attached verses. This is the first step of the subject: HIDAYAT. In the coming days, the concept of ‘HIDAYAT' will be presented for your information with all its aspects and details as stated in the Noble Qur'an.

With our prayers,

APPENDIX: WHAT IS HIDAYAT?

WHAT IS HIDAYAT?

HIDAYAT is reaching Allah.

51 / AZ - ZÂRIYÂT 50: Then you hasten to Allah (reach Allah; take refuge in Allah). Verily, I am obviously a Warner to you!

It is the reaching of those AMENU to Allah.

2 / BAQARAH 213: Mankind was one single nation. And Allah appointed (sent down) Prophets with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent down the Book to judge in truth between people in matters wherein they differed. (Nevertheless) the People of The Book, after having received the (clear) Signs, did not differ among themselves, except for envy (jealousy). So, Allah, by His Permission, took them to HIDAYAT (True Guidance Leading to Allah) about the point they differed. Allah takes whomever He wills to SIRATI MUSATAKIYM (the Path Leading Straight to Allah). Mankind was one single nation. And Allah appointed (sent down).
11 / HUD 29: "And O my people (tribe)! I ask of you for no wealth in return (for what I have conveyed to you). If there is a reward for me, it belongs only to Allah. And I will not drive away (in contempt) those who are AMENU (who wish to reach Allah in this life), for verily they are going to wish to reach Allah. However, I see you as a tribe who is in ignorance.

HIDAYAT is to meet Allah.

2 / BAQARAH 46: They (who have HUSHU (reverence)) are those who bear in mind the certainty that they are to meet their Lord (in this world), and that they are to return (finally after death) to Him. (They believe as in the level of YAKEEN (certainty.)

11 / HUD 29: "And O my people (tribe)! I ask of you for no wealth in return (for what I have conveyed to you). If there is a reward for me, it belongs only to Allah. And I will not drive away (in contempt) those who are AMENU (who wish to reach Allah in this life), for verily they are going to wish to reach Allah. However, I see you as a tribe who is in ignorance.

29 / AL-'ANKABÛT 23:Those who reject the Signs of Allah and reaching Him (Allah), they despaired of My Mercy. For them is the grievous chastisement.

HIDAYAT is the submission of the spirit to Allah before the submission of the physical body.

3 / AL- 'IMRAN 20: So if they dispute with you, then say: "I and those who depended on me have submitted our physical bodies (Wajh) to Allah." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are illiterate: "Have you also submitted (your physical bodies)?" If they have, truly they are in HIDAYET (The True Guidance Leading To Allah). If they turn back, your duty is to convey the Message. Allah sees His servants.

5. HIDAYAT is the return of the spirit back to Allah before death (in this life).

2 / BAQARAH 156: They are those who said, when afflicted with calamity: "We are (created) for Allah, and to Him is our return."

31 / LUQMAN 15: "But if your parents strive with you to make you attribute a partner which you do not know to Me, do not obey them, yet get along well with them in this life. Depend on (follow) (reach me through) the way of those who turn to me (reached Me before they died). Then, you all will return to Me (after death) (The Death Angel will take you all to Me). I will tell you about all you have done."

HIDAYAT is Allah's having those who wish to reach Allah attain Himself.

29 / AL-'ANKABÛT 5: For those who wish to reach (meet) Allah (make their spirits reach Allah before they die), the day appointed by Allah will surely come. He hears and knows (all things).

13 / RAD 27:And the QAFIRs (those in blasphemy) say: "Why is not a Sign (miracle) sent down to him from His Lord?" Say; "Verily, Allah leaves whomever He wills in DALALAT (Misguidance), and takes the one who inclines to Him, to Himself (to HIDAYAT (True Guidance Leading to Allah))."

7. Hidayat is realized with the command of Allah and the help of the Imam of the Era and the Murshid (religious guide appointed by Allah).

32 / AS - SAJDAH 24: And We appointed, from among them, IMAMs (murshid: the religious guide leading to Allah), taking them to HIDAYET (the True Guidance Leading To Allah) under Our command, since they persevered with patience and got close to Our Verses (the Verses of Allah).

7 / AL- A'RÂF 181: And of those We have created, there is a nation that takes to the Truth (Allah), and establishes justice therewith.

8. Hidayat is realized by becoming "Amenu," repenting by taking allegiance, and purifying the soul (ego).

20 / TAHA 82: And verily, I am the Oft-Forgiving (who transfers their sins into merits) to those who repent (before a MURSHID with 12 favors), those who are AMENU (thus MUMIN because the word IMAN, Faith, is written into their hearts), and who do ameliorating acts (to cleanse and purify the soul (ego)). Then, they are taken to HIDAYAT (their spirits are made to reach Allah before they die) by Me.
25 / AL-FURQÂN 71: And whoever repents and does improving deeds (the purification of the soul (ego)) has truly turned to Allah with acceptable repentance.

35 / FÂTIR 18:No one bears the burden of another. If one calls (another) to bear his load, no one will bear it even though he is nearly related. You admonish those who feel HUSHU (reverence) for their Lord unseen and perform regular Prayer. And whoever purifies his SOUL (ego) does so for the benefit of his own soul, and (his spirit) sets out for Allah (reaches Allah).

9. It is Allah Who takes one to Truth (Haqq) (Allah).

10 / YUNUS 35: Say: "Of your partners is there any that can give any HIDAYET (The True Guidance Leading To Allah) to Allah?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives HDAYET (true guidance) to Allah; then is He Who gives HIDAYET (The True Guidance Leading To Allah) to Allah more worthy to be depended on (followed), or he who does not find HIDAYET (The True Guidance Leading To Allah) himself unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you? How do you judge?"

10. Hidayat is realized by taking those who accept the invitation of Allah to Sıratı Mustakiym, the path leading to Allah.

10 / YUNUS 25: And Allah calls (invites) to the Home of Submission (SALAM), and He guides whom He pleases (to take to the Home of Submission) to SIRAT-I MUSTAKIM (the path leading straight to Allah).

10 / YUNUS 26:For those who are AHSEN (the best, the perfect) is better (more) and beyond it (more...seeing the Self of Allah)! Neither grief nor abasement shall cover their faces (there is no humiliation for them)! They are the People of Heaven; they will abide therein forever!
4 / AN - NISÂ 175: Then, Allah will put those who are AMENU (those who wish to reach Allah in this life before they die) and hold (wish to hold) fast onto Him into mercy and virtue from Himself, and He will guide them to the Straight Path (the path leading to Allah).

11. Hidayat is Allah's taking one to Himself.

2 / Al-Baqarah 120: Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, reaching Allah, that is the (only) Guidance (Hidâyet). And if you were to follow their desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'ân), then you would have against Allah neither any "Velî" (Protector or Guardian, Friend) nor any helper.

12. Hidayat is making the spirit, which Allah has commanded to be submitted, reach Allah.
13 / AR - RA'D 21: And they submit to Allah the thing (their spirits), which Allah has commanded to be submitted (before death, and they feel HUSHU (reverence) for their Lord and fear the terrible reckoning (to enter Hell).

13. Hidayat is having the spirit of those who patiently wish the Person of Allah reach Allah and submit to Allah.

13 / AR - RA'D 22: They are those who patiently persevere, seeking the their Lord's Self (meeting Allah); perform regular prayer; spend out secretly and openly of what We have bestowed on them. And they are those who turn off evil with good. There is a good end of this world.
13 / AR-RA'D 23:ADN HEAVENS; Allah let those enter therein who have reached SALAH (THE VERY LAST STAGE THROUGH THE SUBMISSIONS), among their fathers, their spouses and their offsping, and angels welcome them from every gate.

14. HIDAYAT is migrating to Allah (the immigration of the spirit to Allah while alive in this world).

29 / AL-'ANKABÛT 26:Then Lot had faith in him (took allegiance to him) (Abraham), and said: 'I surely will migrate to my Lord (make my spirit reach Allah); He is the Almighty, the Wise.

15. Hidayat is to become the possessor of taqwa (piety) and be saved from shirk by means of wishing to reach Allah.

30 / AR RÛM 31: Turn back to Him (Allah), and have TAQWA (piety) for Him, and perform regular prayers, and do not be among those who are MUSHRIK (those who attribute a partner to Allah).

HIDAYAT includes all submissions starting with an inclination for (turning towards) Allah

(Submission of the spirit, physical body, soul (ego) and free will to Allah).

39 / AZ - ZUMER 54: "Turn to Allah (make your spirit reach Allah) and (so) submit yourself to Allah before the torment (in the grave) (before death) comes on you. Or after that you will not be helped.

6 / AL AN'ÂM 152: And do not come nigh to the orphan's property until it is improved, until he attains the age of full strength. Give measure and weight with (full) justice. We do not place a burden on anybody but that which they can bear. Whenever you speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the covenant of Allah. Thus He commanded you so that you may contemplate.

6 / AL AN'ÂM 153: Verily, this is My Straight Way, so depend on (follow) it, and do not follow (other) paths, as they will scatter you about from His path. Thus He commanded you so that you may have TAQWA (piety).

40 / MUMIN 66: Say: ‘I have been forbidden to worship those whom you worship other than Allah since the Clear Signs have come to me from my Lord. And I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds.

With Our Prayers,

İSKENDER ALİ MİHR
