MYTH - NOTHING CAN BE BETWEEN ALLAH AND HUMAN BEINGS

 

 
NAME: MYTH - NOTHING CAN BE BETWEEN ALLAH AND HUMAN BEINGS
DATE: January 20, 2006
 
My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart!
 
Dear students, we thank and praise Allah countless times that Allah brought us together one more time in another discourse to talk about Allah.
 
Our topic is a myth that, "Nothing can be between Allah and human beings as a man." There are so many myths in our religion, my dear brothers and sisters. Most people are used to so many opposite things from what Allah says. For so many centuries they say that nothing and no one can be between Allah and His servants. Is that truly the case, or does Allah specifically put certain people amongst them, giving them special authority? Let's take a look at AS­SAJDAH - 24 all together:
 
32 / AS­SAJDAH - 24: Ve cealnâ minhum eimmeten yehdûne bi emrinâ lemmâ saberû ve kânû bi âyâtinâ yûkınûn(yûkınûne).
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).
Allahu Teala says we have brought murshids[1] to deliver human beings to hidayat[2]. Murshids are for people's hidayat, for those people's spirits to return back to Allah, as we know that clearly now. Isn't that what Allah says? Here is Al-Imran 73 "Innel Huda hudallah," "Hidayat is reaching Allah."
 
3 / ÂL-'IMRÂN - 73: Ve lâ tu'minû illâ li men tebia dînekum, kul innel hudâ hudallâhi en yu'tâ ehadun misle mâ ûtîtum ev yuhâccûkum inde rabbikum, kul innel fadla bi yedillâh(yedillâhi), yu'tîhi men yeşâ'(yeşâu), vallâhu vâsiun alîm(alîmun).
"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."
 
And in Al-Baqarah 120, "inne hudâllâhi huvel hudâ," "Verily, reaching Allah, that is hidayat[3]."
 
2 / AL-BAQARAH - 120: Ve len terdâ ankel yahûdu ve len nasârâ hattâ tettebia milletehum kul inne hudâllâhi huvel hudâ ve leinitteba'te ehvâehum ba'dellezî câeke minel ilmi, mâ leke minallâhi min veliyyin ve lâ nasîr(nasîrin).
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.
 
Therefore people delivering their spirits to Allah refers to Hidayat.
    
My dear brothers and sisters, once we look at the concept called "hidayat," we see that it is a very clear concept; hidayat is for the human spirit to reach Allah. Allahu Teala says, "Amongst human beings we brought forth imams to deliver to hidayat with our command," for them to deliver human beings to hidayat. Because they are the owners of patience, because they are Yakeen, close to our verses, "They are in ‘Hakk'ul Yakeen[4]' level because of their level of Yakeen, their level of closeness, to our verses," says Allah.
 
 Allah appoints imams[5] at all times. There is always one imam at all times appointed by Allah. These imams are in two groups:
 
 ? Imams - Nabi, just like our Prophet (PBUH), as Allah indicates he is the last of the Nabis, the last of the prophet imams.
? For Allah to bring forth imams, they are the imams of the presence prayer. There is a prayer in the presence of Allah that is called the "presence praye," my dear brothers and sisters. The imam of the presence prayer is always amongst the nabis (prophets). There is a living prophet, a living nabi. Then that living nabi is the imam of the presence prayer. Allah appoints them generally as the imam of the presence prayer. Every day prayer takes place seven times in the presence prayer, and there are also thousands of spirits performing their prayers.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, this prayer is called the presence prayer. It is a prayer that takes place in the presence of Allah. The genuine prayer of this imam is absolutely that of a prophet. But as you all know, there are dark periods- time intervals between the prophets- in other words time intervals when there are no prophets. During those terms when there are no prophets, Allahu Teala[6] talks about the different concept again by appointing an imam to the presence prayer, and that imam is not a nabi- not a prophet -but one of the rasools[7] amongst all Rasools, nations, a rasool who is not a prophet. During dark periods, during the times when there are no prophets, Allahu Teala appoints one of the Rasools who is not a prophet, one of the Veli[8] Rasools.
          
Once we take a look at the concept of Risala[9], at all times in all nations, we realize that there are rasools; at all times in all nations there are Rasools who speak the language of that nation. There is absolutely always a Veli rasool in that nation. In Al-Mu'minûn - 44, Allah says:
 
23 / AL-MU'MINÛN - 44: Summe erselnâ rusulenâ tetrâ, kullemâ câe ummeten resûluhâ kezzebûhu fe etbâ'nâ ba'dahum ba'dan ve cealnâhum ehâdîs (ehâdîse), fe bu'den li kavmin lâ yu'minûn(yu'minûne).
Then, We sent our messengers in succession. Every tribe to which their messenger came rejected him. So We terminated them and made them a legend. Let the tribe which is not MUMIN (among the believers of Allah who wishes to reach Him) be away!
 
Allah indicates we sent Rasools one after the other in succession. In whatever nation we sent a Rasool, the people of that nation have absolutely denied that Rasool, says Allah.  For Rasools to be denied in all nations is fixed according to the Qur'an, and from the beginning of course the Mahdi[10] Rasool was also denied by the majority of the people. But people should realize that this is mentioned in the Qur'an; everything is in existence within the Qur'an. Then they have to admit his Risala. Those people who do not check what Mahdi Rasool says, those who do not know what Mahdi Rasool states, who say that all these religious callers are stating against what he states, all these callers wouldn't know and only that individual would know? There are so many people who do not accept that statement; if they could check, as soon as they check then they could find every answer in the Qur'an, and they will understand that he is the revelation of our time today.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, everyone should understand that he is the muceddid[11] of our time. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, Allah puts Rasools between Allah and His servants. Allah is doing that Himself. These rasools are imams, and as Allah indicates, He puts imams for them to be able to make people be able to deliver their spirits to Allah. Allah says for them to deliver human beings into hidayat[12] "with Our command."
 
Allah doesn't use the word Rasools[13], and is using the word imam, but we know that there are Rasools in all nations at all times. Al-Mu'minûn - 44 clearly indicates that. In Al-Baqarah 87, Allah says we sent rasools to all nations at all times.
 
2 / AL-BAQARAH - 87: Ve lekad âteynâ mûsâl kitâbe ve kaffeynâ min ba'dihî bir rusuli ve âteynâ îsâbne meryemel beyyinâti ve eyyednâhu bi rûhil kudus (kudusi), e fe kullemâ câekum resûlun bimâ lâ tehvâ enfusukumustekbertum, fe ferîkan kezzebtum ve ferîkan taktulûn (taktulûne).
Verily We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers, and We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Whenever there came to you a messenger with what (an order) your souls (ego) do not like, you were puffed up with pride? Some you called impostors, and some you slayed!
 
 In Ibrahîm - 4 Allah says that there is no nation to which we didn't sent a rasool one after the other, speaking in their own language.
 
14 / IBRAHÎM - 4: Ve mâ erselnâ min resûlin illâ bi lisâni kavmihî li yubeyyine lehum, fe yudillullâhu men yeşâu ve yehdî men yeşâ'(yeşâu), ve huvel azîzul hakîm(hakîmu).
There is no Messenger that We sent except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. So Allah leaves those (who do not wish to reach Allah) whom He pleases in DALALET (Misguidance), and guides whom He pleases to Himself (HIDAYAT= True Guidance leading to Allah). He is Exalted in power, the All-Wise.
 
 What does Allahu Teala[14] mean by that? My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart, what does Allahu Teala mean by that? To all nations, at all times, Allahu Teala indicates that Allah sends Rasools- a Rasool who speaks their own language- in every nation, says Allahu Teala. Within every nation Allahu Teala appoints Rasools in every nation in their language for those Rasools to deliver them to hidayat[15]. All of these Rasools are the instrument between Allah and human beings.
 
Not everyone can hear what Allah says. Those who can hear what Allah says are the people that Allah delivers to a higher position. Allahu Teala brings forth Rasools in all nations in all times. In Al-Isrâ' - 15,Allah says that unless we send rasools, we do not torment any nation.
 
17 / AL-ISRÂ' - 15: Menihtedâ fe innemâ yehtedî li nefsih (nefsihî), ve men dalle fe innemâ yadıllu aleyhâ, ve lâ teziru vâziretun vizre uhrâ, ve mâ kunnâ muazzibîne hattâ neb'ase resûlâ(resûlen).
Whoever reaches hidâyet (the true guidance leading to Allah, makes his spirit reach Allah) has attained Hidayet only for the benefit of his soul (ego). And whoever is in Misguidance (goes astray), then he goes astray at his own loss. No bearer of burdens can bear another's burden (of those who do fulfill the warnings of the Warner). And We never punish (any person, any nation) until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).
 
Everyone will go to hell on Doomsday with out any exceptions. Except those who see hell and leave hell, aside from them, the majority of people will remain in hell and will be tormented in hell. Not a small group of people, but unfortunately a majority of the people. Satan is always making great efforts to divert the majority of the people away from Allah's path and is fairly successful in doing that.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, within the bundle of knowledge that Allah gave to us, we realize that people's relationships with Allah are always interpreted by a third party, some people who get from Allah and deliver to Allah and deliver to others; at the highest point that is the imam of the time. As Allah indicates in As­sajdah - 24, there are ones who are close to the verses of Allah at the Hakk'ul Yakeen[16] level.
 
32 / AS­SAJDAH - 24: Ve cealnâ minhum eimmeten yehdûne bi emrinâ lemmâ saberû ve kânû bi âyâtinâ yûkınûn(yûkınûne).
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).
 
My dear brothers and sisters, within such a design these are the imams who are at the higher level between Allah and human beings. The one whe is mentioned in As­sajdah - 24 is certainly a Veli[17] Rasool (in other words a Rasool[18] who is not a nabi[19], not a prophet, but certainly a friend of Allah as a Rasool; Veli Rasool). But the true Imam Rasools at the presence prayer are the Nabi Rasools, in other words Nabi Rasools as having a genuine presence prayer. Allahu Teala[20] also mentions this in Al-Anbıyâ' - 73, giving the names of the prophets, such as Abraham and Jacob, and after the names of those prophets, Allahu Teala says we make them imams.
 
21 / AL-ANBIYÂ' - 73: : Ve cealnâhum eimmeten yehdûne bi emrinâ ve evhaynâ ileyhim fi'lel hayrâti ve ikâmes salâti ve îtâez zekâh(zekâti), ve kânû lenâ âbidîn(âbidîne).
And We made them leaders (Imâms) in order that they should make (mankind) reach hidâyet (guidance) [they should make men's spirits reach Allah before death] by Our Command and We revealed to them the doing of good deeds, performing the Prayer, and the giving of "Zekât" (obligatory alms), and they were servants to Us (Alone).
 
 
As we see right there in Al-Anbıyâ' - 73, Allahu Teala assigned imams; these imams that Allah authorized are the nabis of Allah, the prophets of Allah. These are also chaperones between Allah and other human beings, the third party, but we have something beyond that; Allahu Teala talks about these imams. These are the imams of the presence prayer. There are different human beings between Allah and humans, human beings who are not Rasools. Allahu Teala calls them to be Murshids[21].
 
Allahu Teala says that We select rasools from amongst human beings, Jinns and angels (Jinni rasools, Angel rasools and Human Rasools). Jinns fulfill their risala[22] within their own world; angels come to this world and fulfill their duty as angels. The Qur'an mentions that there are so many Angel Rasools who came in order to deliver people to hidayat.
 
16 / AN-NAHL - 9: Ve alallâhi kasdus sebîli ve minhâ câir(câirun), ve lev şâe le hedâkum ecmaîn(ecmaîne).
And unto Allah lead straight the ways (Sirat-i Mustakim). And there are ways that turn aside. If Allah had willed, He could have guided all of you to HIDAYET (the true guidance leading to Allah).
 
My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart; within such a design Allahu Teala says "Ve alallâhi kasdus sebîl" as the designation and appointment of the sebil (paths) that people follow for Allah.  At the starting point of every sebil[23] there is always a murshid[24]. From the dergah of every murshid, there is a sebil going to the dergah of the imam of the time, and at the beginning of every path there is always a murshid, a religious guide.
Therefore, Allahu Teala says, "Ve alallâhi kasdus sebîl;" the designation and appointment of the sebil, of the path, is for Allah. Allahu Teala says no one can choose their own murshids. Allahu Teala says, Allah designates the murshid, but is there any exclusion? Yes, only one person, the imam of the time. Why is he excluded? Because it doesn't matter to which murshid people take an oath of allegiance, that murshid will also take an oath of allegiance to the imam of the time; if they are true murshids, Allah will certainly give them that information and knowledge, and they will take an oath of allegiance to the imam of the time as well. That way, my dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart, within such a design of Allah there are murshids. What kinds of chaperones are these murshids as the instruments between Allah and human beings? We can explain this as follows: when people take an oath of allegiance to these murshids, the spirit of the imam of the time appears upon those people, and the spirit of the individual becomes ready to return back to Allah.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, take a careful look at these murshids, religious guides. These are the ones who are appointed to irshad[25] on the path of Allah. But we realize that there are different levels of murshids in this regard. In a distance that anyone can reach, there is a murshid, and taking an oath of allegiance to that murshid is an obligation of Allah.
Allahu Teala says in Al-Mâ'ıdah - 35:
5 / AL-MÂ'IDAH - 35: Yâ eyyuhellezîne âmenûttekûllâhe vebtegû ileyhil vesîlete ve câhidû fî sebîlihi leallekum tuflihûn(tuflihûne).
O you who are AMENU (those who wish to reach Allah spiritually in this life before they die)! Have TAQWA (piety) for Allah and seek the means of approach unto Him. And strive hard in His cause so that you may prosper (get happiness).
 
"All Amanu[26] ones, be the owners of taqwa[27]," Allah says, so that whoever is going to be a reason for you to reach Allah asks that reason from Allah. Here murshids and rasools[28] are indicated, because in every point that everyone can reach, there is a murshid of Allah at that point for everyone to be able to find. When the individual performs salat'ul hacat[29], then Allah will send the individual to that murshid. All murshids are under the imam of the time. When the individual takes an oath of allegiance to any murshid, the spirit of the imam of the time appears over that individual. The angels that hold the heavens and the imam of the time will all be ready in all the ceremonies of taking the oath of allegiance. It doesn't matter by which murshid that ceremony takes place, either a representative murshid or a true murshid or a rasool in any nation, but the imam of the time is the highest of those Rasools, and in every nation only his spirit appears upon whomever takes an oath of allegiance according to Ghâfır - 15
 
40 / GHÂFIR - 15: Refîud derecâti zul arş(arşi), yulkır rûha min emrihî alâ men yeşâu min ıbâdihî li yunzire yevmet telâk(telâkı).
The Increaser of the degrees and the Possessor of the Divine Throne (‘arş) sends a Spirit from His command (a spirit that will communicate to him the decree of Allah) over the person He wishes among His servants (He wishes to make reach Himself) (over the head of the person whom Allah wants to make reach Himself as he wants to reach Him, too) in order to warn him that the day of his meeting with Allah has come.
 
Allahu Teala[30] states that "Allah who raises the degrees and the owner of the heaven." What does this mean: that raises degrees? When an oath of allegiance to a murshid takes place, at that moment Allah converts all the sins of the individual into merits. Before that, when the individual wishes to reach Allah, Allah had already covered the sins of the individual, but at this point, according Al-Furqân - 70,Allah converts all the sins to merits.
 
25 / AL-FURQÂN - 70: İllâ men tâbe ve âmene ve amile amelen sâlihan fe ulâike yubeddilullâhu seyyiâtihim hasenât(hasenâtin), ve kânallâhu gafûren rahîmâ(rahîmen).
Except those who repent (before a Murshid, the religious Guide), and become MUMIN (those among the believers of Allah who wish to reach Him) (since he has repented before a Murshid and faith has been written in his heart), and do improving righteous deeds (with the same reasons), for those Allah will change their sins into merits. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
 
 
Allahu Teala says that whoever takes an oath of allegiance to a murshid and becomes mumin[31], at that point during repentance the individual becomes a mumin whose merits increase and who starts the cleansing of the soul, which is ‘amilüssalihat[32],' the amelioration of the soul. Allahu Teala says that when the individual does that, whenever the individual takes an oath of allegiance (Allahu Teala talks about those people taking an oath of Allegiance), they are the ones who repent and become mumin. Then Allahu Teala says we convert their sins into merits. Allahu Teala says Allah converts their negative points to positive points.
25 / AL-FURQÂN - 71: Ve men tâbe ve amile sâlihan fe innehu yetûbu ilallâhi metâbâ(metâben).
And whoever repents and does improving deeds (the purification of the soul (ego)) has truly turned to Allah (before he dies) with acceptable repentance.
Al-Furqân - 71indicates that their spirits reach Allah and return back to Allah as their repentance is accepted. "Their spirits return back to Allah," says Allahu Teala[33]. That is repentance with favors, and the end of that repentance is the conversion of sins to merits.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart, as we see there is a murshid for every one, a murshid that Allah appoints who is everywhere that anyone can reach. Those who reach a representative murshid, since the spirit of the imam of the time appears upon them, they get to the same point even as if they had taken an oath of allegiance to the imam of the time. It will be the spirit of the imam of the time if they take an oath of allegiance to a representative murshid; they will still have the spirit of the imam of the time upon them. To be able to give repentance to other people is not for people to get on their own- in other words, Allah only gives the authority of Irshad[34] to certain ones. Even if he has appointed his free will to Allah and is appointed with Irshad, a representative murshid doesn't change anything. People take an oath of Allegiance to the spirit of the imam of the time who appears upon them. In Ghâfır - 15, Allah mentions the Owner of the heavens and who raises the degrees, whereas the spirit of the imam of the time is always with angels. Allahu Teala says Allah sends upon them a spirit as he wishes. Who are these people that Allah is willing? Those people who take an oath of Allegiance, in order to mention it is time to return back to Allah.  Therefore, Allah sends the spirit of the imam of the time. Yawm'ul Talak is the day to return back to Allah. Allahu Teala says it is time for you to return back to Allah as that spirit comments to the spirit of the individual. That is the spirit of the imam of the time appearing on the individual and giving that command. Murshids are always everywhere. An individual who takes a Pledge of Allegiance to a representative murshid is just like taking a Pledge of Allegiance to a regular murshid or a regular rasool because it doesn't matter from whom the individual takes a Pledge of Allegiance, a representative of a murshid all the way to the imam of the time. It doesn't matter to whom the individual takes the Pledge of Allegiance, that individual certainly appears under the spirit of the imam of the time as Allah sends the spirits of the imam of the time upon them.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, as we see starting from the representative murshids, higher level murshids, rasool murshids, or the murshid as the imam of the time, all seven levels of murshids, each one of them are between human beings and Allah and they fulfill the same thing. It doesn't matter to whom the individual takes an oath of Allegiance, upon that individual who has taken the oath of Allegiance, they get the spirit of the imam of the time, according to Ghâfır - 15.
 
Allahu Teala also defines the oath of Allegiance to a murshid in Al-Baqarah 45 and 46. Allahu Teala says:
2 / AL-BAQARAH - 45: Vesteînû bis sabri ves salât(sâlâti), ve innehâ le kebîretun illâ alel hâşiîn(hâşiîne).
Seek ((Allah)'s) ISTIANE (help) with patient perseverance and prayer. It (asking Allah through the Requirement Prayer about the Religious Guide who takes one to Allah) is indeed hard, except to those who have HUSHU (reverence).
2 / AL-BAQARAH - 46: Ellezîne yezunnûne ennehum mulâkû rabbihim ve ennehum ileyhi râciûn(râciûne).
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)).
"Seek ((Allah)'s) help with patient perseverance and prayer." In other words, from which murshid to take an oath of Allegiance, ask from Allah by performing Hacat Salat[35], with patience and prayer, says Allahu Teala. But that's a difficult task, says Allahu Teala, for someone who is not wishing to reach Allah. It doesn't matter how many times they perform their prayer, it doesn't matter how much they beg Allah, Allah will not show a murshid to that individual. But whoever wishes to reach Allah, Allahu Teala certainly shows that murshid to that individual. Does Allah have a promise? Whoever wishes to reach Allah, Allah will certainly deliver the spirit of the individual to himself. Since that is the case, Allah has to take care of this, and that's what Allah does.
 My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart, as we see in any case, there is certainly a murshid for every one of those who wish to reach Allah. Allahu Teala puts these murshids between Himself and human beings. Also between Allah and human beings there are people who are not murshids but who are in continuous dhikr[36]; they are ululelbab[37].
 
21 / AL-ANBIYÂ' - 7: Ve mâ erselnâ kableke illâ ricâlen nûhî ileyhim fes'elû ehlez zikri in kuntum lâ ta'lemûn(ta'lemûne).
Before you, We sent (appointed) men, to whom We granted inspiration: If you do not know, ask of those people of Dhikir (ULUL ELBAB: people of understanding, to whom the secrets of Allah are revealed).
 
Allahu Teala[38] says, "If you don't know, ask of those people of Dhikr[39]." Who are those ululalbabs? They are the owners of continuous dhikr, and they are given the ability to talk to Allahu Teala as Allah gives characteristics to them. Once they have asked a question, they will ask from Allah and give the answer to the questioner. Who are those who are, who can become murshids, who can get to see their murshid as Allahu Teala shows them? "They certainly believe that they will certainly reach Allah, they will deliver their spirits back to Allah in this lifetime," says Allahu Teala in Al-Baqarah 46, and after death their spirits will return back to Allah one more time.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, friends of my life, friends of my heart, the regular instruments between Allah and human beings are murshids. But those who are not murshids, who cannot deliver people to Allah, but people who have the ability to ask from Allah, they can ask from Allah and give it to the people who ask. In other words, they are also the chaperones between Allah and these people as instruments for Allah.
 
3 / ÂL-'IMRÂN - 7: Huvellezî enzele aleykel kitâbe minhu âyâtun muhkemâtun hunne ummul kitâbi ve uharu muteşâbihât(muteşâbihâtun), fe emmellezîne fî kulûbihim zeygun fe yettebiûne mâ teşâbehe minhubtigâel fitneti vebtigâe te'vîlih(te'vîlihi), ve mâ ya'lemu te'vîlehû illâllâh(illâllâhu), ver râsihûne fîl ilmi yekûlûne âmennâ bihî, kullun min indi rabbinâ, ve mâ yezzekkeru illâ ulûl elbâb(elbâbi).
He (Allah) is the one Who has sent the Book down to you. In it are some basic or fundamental verses (of established meaning; closed to doubts or comments), which are (clear and meaningful enough) in UMMUL KITAB (Mother of the Book). Others are allegorical (need explanation for the real meaning; have hidden meaning) verses. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the allegorical part of the Book, wishing to do mischief and interpreting them as they want. However no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are RASIHUN (firmly grounded in knowledge; the owner of RUSUH) say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is sent down from our Lord." None will grasp the Message but ULUL ELBAB (men of understanding; men to whom the secrets of Allah are revealed)
In Âl-'Imrân 7, Allahu Teala says those who understand are ululalbab. Those who can talk to Allah, understanding the allegorical verses of Allah, Allah indicates. As we see, between human beings and Allah there are always middleman instruments as chaperones. To state that nothing can be between Allah and human beings therefore is full of error and clearly it is a myth.
 
My dear brothers and sisters, we thank and praise Allah countless times that one more time Allahu Teala brought us all together in another discourse to talk about Allah.
