The Ninth
Flash
[Everyone should not read this Flash, for they will not see the subtle errors of the Unity of Existence, and are not in need of it.] In His Name! And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise. My Dear, Loyal, Sincere, Conscientious Brother! The reason I did not write a separate letter to my brother Abdülmecid,1 was that I considered the letters I had written to you to be sufficient. After Hulūsī,2 Abdülmecid is a valuable brother for me and a student. Every morning and evening he is present in name in my prayers together with Hulūsī, sometimes being mentioned first. First Sabri,3 then Hakki Efendi4 profit from the letters I write you. I do not write them separate letters either. Almighty God made you a blessed elder brother to them. You correspond with Abdülmecid in my place; he should not worry, after Hulūsī, I think of him. Y o u r F i r s t Q u e s t i o n : You ask a confidential question about one of your forefathers signing himself, al-Sayyid Muhammad. My brother, it is not possible for me give a scholarly answer to this or to research into it. However, I told my companions: Hulūsū resembles neither the present-day Turks, nor the Kurds. I see other qualities in him. They agreed with this. We said in accordance with the saying, Divine grace does not make ability a condition, the great nobility to be observed in Hulūsī is a Divine gift. You should also know definitely that the Most Noble Prophet (Upon whom be blessings and peace) has two Families. One are his descendants, and the other is his Family from the point of view of the luminous collective personality of his Prophethood. In addition to your certainly being included in this second Family, I have proofless conviction that in respect of his first Family, your forefathers signature was not without reason. My Dear Brother! |
