Knowledge Of The Body!

Description
Knowledge of the body has been learned from the four sources and has reached us through Fiqh books. Those who want to obey Rasûlullah must worship as taught in Fiqh books. The knowledge of the heart, which purifies the heart, the soul, and the nafs, has come to us by means of the hearts of the Awliyâ. Those who want to adapt themselves to Rasûlullah in the knowledge of the heart and soul, should stay near a Walî and acquire this knowledge from his heart. A Walî is a means, a path between the heart of a man and the blessed heart of Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’. The knowledge of the heart is not obtained by reading books of Tasawwuf. The fountain and source of this knowledge is the hearts of ’ârifs. That this is the case is written also in the final part of the book entitled Themerât-ulfuâd. Each Sahâbî, in turn, conveyed the knowledge of the body and of the heart which he had obtained from Rasûlullah to those who requested for it. Muslims coming afterwards took the knowledge of the body from books of Fiqh and the knowledge of the heart from the hearts of murshids. Those who say, “I will learn the knowledge of the body directly from Rasûlullah’s utterances, that is, from the hadîth-i sherîfs,” have fallen into the traps of the nafs and the devil as a result of misunderstanding the meanings of hadîth-i-sherîfs. Likewise, those who say, “I will receive the knowledge of the heart directly from the heart of Rasûlullah,” have fallen into the traps of the nafs and the devil.  It is necessary to obtain knowledge of the body from the words or books of the Ahl-i sunnat savants, and knowledge of the heart from the hearts of savants who are alive or from their souls if they are dead. The experts of this knowledge, that is, the murshids and Walîs all expressed the same fact. The hadîth-i sherîfs contained in the book Kunûz-ud-deqâiq, such as, “A savant among his disciples is like a Prophet among his Ashâb” and “The superiority of a savant to his students is like the superiority of a Prophet to his ummat” and “Everything has a source. The source of taqwâ is the hearts of ’ârifs” and “To attend a class of Fiqh is better than worshipping for a year” and “Looking at the faces of savants is worshipping” are proofs for the facts we have written above. Allâhu ta’âlâ has promised that the Islamic religion will survive till the end of the world. He created the Ottoman Empire for the protection of the knowledge of the body and the Murshids for the perpetuation of the knowledge of the heart. The British State, Islam’s bitterest enemy, annihilated these two guardians after striving for centuries. Allâhu ta’âlâ is creating new guardians and Islam is going along its way.

Since Prophet Adam (alaihi-salam), they changed and denied the religions revealed in every century by saying that they were the words of ignorant primitive people. Such assertions made by disbelievers are quoted, and answered in many parts of the Quran al-Karim. For example, Allahu Taala says...
