Preface
One of my favorite quotes from Mawlana Jalaladdin al-Rumi is:
“What pertains to the past is left in the past my love;
Now, it is the time to say new things!”
Indeed, Ahmed Hulusi is not fond of repeating things from the past!
It goes against his principles to repeat things to which people have gained immunity or resistance and thus can no longer evaluate!
Ahmed Hulusi is not a hodja!
Ahmed Hulusi is not a sheikh!
Ahmed Hulusi is not religious leader!
Through “divine warning” he began to objectively research the reality of “religion.”
Starting with the hadith collection “Qutub al-Sittah” he has researched and applied all the requisites of Sufism including all its fine intricacies, then decoded the religious metaphors based on modern scientific knowledge to bring about the synthesis needed for our present day.
According to Ahmed Hulusi “Religion, is a holistic SYSTEM”!
This system, may be easily understood by any level of intellect that is interested in it, as neither the Quran nor the hadiths have left any topic unexplained…
The important thing is to correctly decipher the codes!
So, then what is incumbent on an intellectual is to discover and make the most of this invaluable treasure of knowledge that has been granted to him!
You will find my explanations and interpretations in this book and all future books to be more scientifically advanced and aligned to the modern age, perhaps even surpassing this age…
Allah willing, you will benefit from these ideas and perspectives that are of a quality to bring about not a reform in religion, but a new religious UNDERSTANDING.
I pray that this book will be beneficial to all of humanity, and wish conscious and ‘jinn-free’ days to all of you!
