Abstract
"Mentioning the name of Allahu ta’âlâ, I begin writing the second fascicle of the book Endless Bliss. For writing the correct and useful information in this book, I trust myself to His Name, and expect aid from Him. In this world Allâhu ta’âlâ pities all people. Creating useful things, He sends them to everybody. He, alone, creates every living being, keeps every being in existence every moment and protects all. Thanks be to that exalted being, Allah! Salât and salâm be to His beloved Prophet, hadrat Muhammad! May salutations and benevolent prayers be to all the pure relatives of this exalted Prophet and to all his Sahâba, his companions! We see that all living and nonliving beings are in a regular order. We learn that there is an unchanging order, a mathematical balance in the structure of every substance, in every event, in every reaction. We name these orders, these connections as laws of physics, chemistry, astronomy and biology. Utilizing this unchanging order, we develop industries, build factories, prepare new medicines, and establish communications with stars and atoms, make radios, televisions, computers. Were it not for this order in all creatures and in beings, had everything been happening by chance and haphazardly, we could not do any of these. Everything would collide, everything would be in utter disorder, and disasters would happen; all would perish. The fact that beings are dependent upon orders, relations and laws indicates that they did not come into being haphazardly by themselves and that they were created by a knowing, powerful, seeing, hearing supreme Being who acts as He wills: He creates or annihilates as He wishes. He has made certain things causes for His creating or annihilating each thing. If He had not created causes there would not be such an order in beings. Everything would be in complete disorder; neither His - 4 - existence would be known of, nor would science or civilization exist. He not only reveals His existence through this order, but also, pitying His slaves, He informed them by sending messages through an angel to those whom He had created as the best and the highest of all in the world. He informed of Himself and His Names, and explained what things are expedient and what others are inapt for attaining comfort and welfare in this world and in the Hereafter. Such superior people are called Prophets ‘alaihimussalawâtu wattaslîmât’. What they communicated is called Dîn (religion). Because people are apt to forget old teachings and because corrupt people exist in every age, who defile and change Prophets’ ‘alaihimussalawâtu wattaslîmât’ books and utterances, the old religions were forgotten, and the known ones were interpolated. In fact, corrupt people made the religions unbelievable and corrupt. Having magnanimous compassion for people, Allah, the Supreme Being who created everything, sent the last Prophet and the true religion to His slaves. He gave the good news that He shall protect this religion until the last day and He shall spread it everywhere undefiled; though evil people shall attack, try to change and defile it."(Pg 3-4)
