OUR METHOD
We are grateful to Allah for everything, He sent to us that Kur’an without suspicions and He took the responsibility of Kur’an’s protection upon HimSelf. We bless the Allah’s Messenger, He explained and practiced the Kur’an perfectly. To us remained to understand and to comply with Kur’an. That Messenger educated His friends in that way, that all of them are an example for us. May Allah bless all of them!
The centuries passed and everybody has introduce a personal method to comprehend the religion. Some of the Muslims gave their priority to the hadiths and Messenger’s Friends (Sahabe) practice.
Some others accepted the comments and interpretations of the scholars as religion, readin The Kur’an and Messenger’s life only superficially.
Some others considered Allah as a governor responsible somewhere in Hejaz and His Messenger Muhammed (p.b.u.h.) as a bureaucrat that applies His orders. Because, according to their opinions, Kur’an is Allah’s regional and periodical interference and the hadiths are the traditions and the customary of this region and period. So, İslam for them became one of the ancient cultures.
There are some others that changed the names of the heroes in the old wive’s tales with muslim names, giving so an islamic aeria to the false superstitions and mixing the polytheism in faith, pretending that the real İslam is theirs one.
Furthermore, never were absent the persons that used Kur’an for their worldly goods.
For us the priority belongs to Kur’an. Firstly we try to solve the problem as if we haven’t nothing else, but the verses. Our first source to understand Kur’an is human nature. Because Allah commands:
“So set your face steadly and truly to that faith- the nature of Allah, in wich he has created the mankind. There is no alternion-replacement in the Allah’s creature. That is the right religion. But most men don’t know. (Rum 30/30)İt is an important point the revelation of Kur’an in parts for 23 years. Thanks to that, the muslims united the Kur’an with human nature and interpretated correctly the existence.
“We divided It- the Kur’an- into parts from time to time-in order that you may recite it to men in intervals and We have revealed it by stages. (İsra 106)İt is not easy to comprehend the notion of the human nature. Sometimes we can think that our human nature is composed by our conditions and habits. İn that point we have to look at the Messenger’ sunnah and sahabe’s practice. After that, the problem will be solved clerly and brilliantly. Sunnah is the explanation of Kur’an, or Its example practice. Its impossible to comprehend the explanation, if the explained issue is unkown. The example will not be understood without comprehending the essence. The sunnah must be an united whole with Kur’anic verses. İn that way we understand that the hadiths that seems contradictory, in fact explain different issues.
There are the opinions of four mezheb’s and Zahiri’s about financial interest in the part İslamic Economy in our site and there are our own opinions with this issue, too. During the analysis of this issue is simple the comprehension of our method. The Woman’s Divorce Right is another work that can give sufficient aknowledge to the reader.
We are conscious that our opinions are not relevant for the others. For that reason, we are trying our best to present our opinions as ideas, not as religion. İf you find us in the wrong, please warn us and we’ll do our best to straighten up, thanking you for that.
Do not say for any false thing that your tongues may invent “This is lawful and this is forbidden” because so you invent false things to Allah. Certainly, those who invent false things to Allah, they never prosper. (Nahl 116)
Our Method About Sufizm
Our method about Sufizm is apparent during the dialogue below between us and a Sufi.
- The first thing we want to know is: Do you accept the Sufizm, or not?
- İt depends from what do you mean by saying Sufizm. İf you call Sufizm gathering around a leader in order to live İslam in agree with Kur’an and Sunnah, İ find that useful and beautifull.
Sheyh Efendi (His Majesty, Sheikh) has to work hard to become a teacher, a leader and a model for the other people. But if you make him a spiritual leader, putting him in a special place between man and Allah, rendering him an intermediary and a pretext and asking help from his spirituality and benefiting from his holiness, you exaggerate. It’s impossible for us to accept this exaggerations. We deny them and all the exaggerations that overflow the line of the Kuran and Sunnah.
We’ll not overstate it so much, if this way of behaving is in contrary with the opinions of the mezhebs like Hanefi, Shafi, Maliki, Esh’ari or Maturidi. We’ll not overstate so much, if this applications are in contrary with Well-known hadiths, too. But you are saying things that are in contrary with the clear expressions of the Holy Kuran. How can we defend ouselves in front of Allah, The only Competent of the Judgement Day, if we’ll remain silent against this. Let you think!
Our Method in relation to the Leading Figures of Sufizm.
Our Method related to the leading figures of Sufizm appears in this dialogue that we made with a Sufi.
- İf you don’t believe in Abdulkadir Geilani, we haven’t nothing to discuss with you.
- İt is not a condition of faith to believe in Abdulkadir Geilani, but it’s necessary to believe in the Holy Kur’an.
İn my opinion, most information in relation to this persona is falce. The people is able to invent billion of hadiths for the Allah’s Messenger, so they are able to invent similar things for Abdulkadir Geylani, Mevlana and İmam Rabbani, too.
But if Abdulkadir Geilani comes himself and tells something in contrary with Kuran, we can’t say that he has any knowledge, but we have to refuse it immediately. Because our Hereafter responsability is in front of Allah, not in front of Abdulkadir Geilani.
THE SULEYMANİYE FOUNDATİON
Let there be found out of you a group of people inviting to all it is good, enjoing what is right and forbidding what is wrong. They are the ones to reach Salvation. (Ali İmran 104)
