A glimpse of his invitation to Al’lah, his revelation and his great guidance

His sanctified assemblies were distinguished by charming and unique revelation in perfect and plain meanings, and complete presence of reality. His words used to hit the target and fall cool and peaceful in the hearts of the listeners, as a light that bewitched them to free their spirits to soar very high.

He drove away darkness, tore asunder contradictions, and finally obliterated the intriguing schools and barren argumentations which created a big gap in the minds of people between themselves and their God. He acquainted people with the reality of God, and the consummation of His Qualities… a Merciful God, Compassionate, Wise, Fair, Conferrer of benefit, Donator, deserved to be worshipped for Himself for He is the Owner of Beauty and Consummation. It is He who is praised for any harm because this harm results in cure and donation. He is Needless of creation, and of our allegiance and our obedience, because He is Rich and we are poor and our obedience is for our own good and benefit. We need to enter His luminous fort of faith, to be protected from misfortune and adversity.

His honorable life history was a high interpretation and a clear constitution for the wonderful revelation that he brought, which contained facts for which heads bowed. The reality was a light, the form was a proof and the true practical application was a guide. His revelation was matchless in world civilizations and the positive laws of present life.

- Why are we created?

- What is this universe for?

- What is the use of religious rituals?

- What is hunger for, followed by eating in Ramadan?

- What is the output and benefit of prayer?

- Why do pilgrimage to a waterless and treeless desert?

- Why were we brought into existence?

- Where were we?

- What is death for? And what is really after it?

- What is the spirit?

- What is the soul?

- What is the mind?

- What is paradise?

- What is hell?

- What about the problem of fate?

- What is the pre-material world (the world of spirits)?

Facts and questions have not come to people’s minds because they were busy in the tempting world and its deceptions, and they forgot to search in the files of existence and know its secrets.

The famous coeval English scientist, Sir John Bennett, in one of his meetings with western scientists, said: “All the sciences that we have achieved are not equal to the sea of that great eminent scholar in the Orient.”

His invitation to God is based on a course that is never mistaken: “Say: this is my way: I invite to Al’lah with sure insight, I and whosoever follows me. Glorified and Exalted is Al’lah. And I am not of the polytheists.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 12, Yusuf (Joseph), verse 80

In the light of this honorable Ayah (verse), he began to call to God for more than thirty years a call concentrated on the following points:

Acquainting people with the consummation of the Almighty God, and showing His Mercy to His obedient people and His Justice with His creation. He refuted all that remained in human minds and whatever was circulated that contradicted the Godly Justice, Clemency, and Mercy and (all) Godly Consummations, and his guide was the Word of God: “And all the most Beautiful Names (Attributes) belong to Al’lah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who deny His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 7, Al-A’raf (The Heights), verse 180

Revealing the consummations of the messengers (The Peace Through Them) of whom God witnessed in His Glorious Book as to their spirits’ purity and their impeccability, and made them supreme examples for the worlds to be guided by them as mentioned in his book: The Impeccability of Prophets, – a book the like of which could never have been written by his forerunners. He confuted every fabrication or exegesis that disagreed with their sublimity and their high rank adhering in that to the Word of God “They are those whom Al’lah has guided, so follow their guidance…”

The Holy Qur’an

 Fortress 6, Al-An’am (Livestock), verse 90

Calling people to adhere to honorable jurisprudence and to attain piety of God truly (witnessing by Al’lah’s Light), besides warning people not to let their spirits follow their capricious whims, and not to depend upon vain wishes but turning to the Word of God: “It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor those of the people of the scripture; whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or helper besides God.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 4, An-Nisa’ (Women), verse 123

And also calling to the tradition of the messenger (cpth): “The discerning person is one who accuses himself and works for what is behind death, and the disabled is one who follows his caprices and asks God for wishes.” “Narrated by Al-Turmozy

Guiding people to the steps of true faith as shown by the messenger (cpth) to his noble companions, deriving them from the Book of God. No person has their heart mixed with delight of faith but they straighten for God’s Order and have a self-deterrent (from committing sins). God mentioned that in His noble saying: “…and whosoever believes in God, He guides his heart.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 64, At-Taghabun (The Apparent Loss), verse 11

Revering God’s messenger (cpth), glorifying him, and showing his high position with Al’lah, then guiding to the way of his love (cpth) and revealing what fruit comes out of loving that pure chaste spirit, from entering into Al’lah’s presence through him, and dying with a believing spirit coupled through him to perfection from God, following the Almighty’s saying: “So those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light sent down with him, it is them who gain.”

The Holy Qur’an,

Fortress 7, Al-A’raf (The Heights), verse 157

It was a valuable age that this pure man had spent striving and seeking nearness to Al’lah. And through this nearness he acquired the high ranks and consummation that he acquired, and realized glories and works charged with holy humane strife, and great humane sacrifices. So that his life was the highest example for the highest behavior, for supporting what is right through matchless heroic deeds that defeated falsehood and made it perishable.

He devoted his valuable life to the service of his human brethren. He competed with the wheel of time in its running and matched the sun in its light. The jet black nights of Damascus were changed at his hands into bright days for the glittering light of his works and the blessing grace of his sacrifices. He joined his night to his day overcoming rest. His eyelids never closed except for little naps to save his human brethren who were in swamps of sorrow and pain, not caring for the dangers of death or capital punishment or for what money or concessions he had paid in the service of God. Many times he remained penniless despite his previous wealth. It is no wonder that God revealed to him that manifest revelation on a sacred night to let him witness the realm of God and ascend in his spirit into the sacred lofty Mohammadan worlds which were prepared for him because of his truthfulness, effort and sacrifice. Similarly, anyone who strives to attain this and be truthful in their love and their quest for God and the messenger (cpth) shall find the door open for them and for every truthfully desiring follower.
