Description
Imâm-i Gazâlî ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’, at the end of his book (Ayyuhal Walad), says: “Every Muslim is in need of an education from a murshid. A murshid, by training him, saves him from bad habits. He supplants good habits in the place of bad ones. Education is similar to a farmer’s efforts to make the plantation on his land strong and improved by cleaning away harmful weeds. Allâhu ta’âlâ sent Prophets ‘’alaihim-us-salâm’ to show his creatures the correct path. He created murshids to represent the Prophets after their death. The signs of a murshid is as follows...”
The Arabic original of this book and its Turkish and French translations are published by Hakîkat Kitâbevi (bookstore). Since a Walî knows better and is strongly tied to Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’, he receives fayds from his blessed heart, and these fayds are directed towards the hearts of those adherent to that Walî. [Hearts receiving fayds become clean. They attain good morals.]
