Gavs Sayyid Abdulbaki Hz.'s way
But before I do this, I must explain some points
because without knowing about these points, you can’t understand the importance
of others.
This issue is very long and deep. I will try to
explain briefly. If you read till the end, it will be beneficial for you, I
hope.
What is the meaning of Gavs ?
It is named as ‘The Pole of
Poles’ as well. Gavs is used in the meaning of ‘conducive’, especially when he
is asked for help. Gavs isn’t a position that is originated newly. For example,
Seyyid Abdulkadir-i Geylani lived 1,000 years ago and is known as Gavs-ül Azam
(That is, the greatest Gavs).
This is a very great position and there is one Gavs in
each period. This position can not be reached with the help of religious
service, it is achieved with the grant of Allah (c.c.).
That is, he is like the leader of Saints of that time.
He has the power of appointment in the universe. As there will be no prophets
after Mohammed (s.a.v.), Allah (c.c.) leads people to the right way with the
help of these persons.
Abdulbaki is Sayyid in the same time, that is, he is
descendant of Mohammed (s.a.v.).
What is MURSHID-I KAMIL?
There may be many scholars or saints in the world.
But, only the ones with the grade of Murshid-i Kamil can show the true way and
lead people completly. So, when you start a new way, the person at the head
must be with the grade of Murshid-i Kamil.
These persons know all the illnesses of heart morally and that this is
blessing.
Think of the x-ray machine. They see like it does. A person that isn’t Murshid-i Kamil cannot see
all the illnesses of heart and although he wants to help his disciple, he
damages him instead. Disciple isn’t a toy. He isn’t a guinea pig. Therefore, a
person who sees what grade you are and
gives a moral remedy according to this grade can be useful for you. He helps
you get close to Allah (c.c.).
GAVS-I SANI SAYYID
ABDULBAKİ :
Here it is! Gavs-ı Sani Sayyid Abdulbaki is both Gavs
and Murshid-i Kamil. That is, he has all superior positions and characteristics
in moral universe now.
There is no need to talk about his maturity, grace and
manners. He is rewarded with the morals of Mohammed (s.a.v.). It is enough to
say ‘Murshid-i Kamil’.
He is a golden opportunity. I am going to talk about
the importance and benefits of this in the following parts.
The History of
Naqshbandi:
Naqshbandi tariqa didn’t originate lately or it wasn’t made up. Its root goes back to the times when Mohammed
(s.a.v.) lived. Then, to the Prophet Ebu Bekir and to the next. It follows like this. And this is named as
‘Golden Sequence’. Seyyid Abdulbaki is from the Naqshbandi tariqa and he performs the methods of it. And the source of these methods is Mohammed
(s.a.v.). Besides, something that doesn’t rely on Mohammed (s.a.v.) isn’t right.
The person who is at the head of this way isn’t selected unanimously, it is
known with the sign from moral universe that he will be at the head of this
way.
WHY RELIGIOUS
ORDER ?
That is the difference between the religious order and
sect. You can attend a religious order and do good things for the sake of
religion. There is no disadvantage. But, only the community that has a Murshid-i
Kamil as a guide can lead you. That is because Allah (c.c.) assigns this task to
the persons with Murshid-i Kamil grade. And so, as Allah (c.c.) assigns them
only, he gives the essential information to them also. Because Mohammed
(s.a.v.) is last prophet and that is because no prophet after Mohammed, Allah (c.c.) assigns this task to them for
telling Quran and Mohammed’s (s.a.v.) way.
WHY SHOULD I
HAVE A
GUIDE ?
Pray as much as you want, learn scholarship as you
want, everything starts and ends in the heart. It is essential for heart to be
purified from moral impurity. This helps
you get close to Allah (c.c.)
As your heart is purified, you avoid from sins and
take pleasure in worship.
You may have difficulties in doing this on your own.
It is not impossible but it is very difficult.
Moral guide helps you achieve this more quickly.
Besides, he prevents you from going to the wrong
direction in this way.
HOW CAN YOU
PURIFY YOUR HEART ? Nefs (Nafs – EGO) GRADES
Every person has nefs (Nafs) and if it is not
educated, it causes bad things.
This is a moral existence like spirit in human body.
Besides, Allah (c.c.) creates the human with many
abilities.
The head of Nefs is between the eyebrows of people and
the arms cover all the abilities, especially the heart.
As there is pressure on these, they can’t move.
There is moral heart at the head of these and it is
the centre of decision. As there is pressure there, our decisions are
inconsistent. We can’t separate the wrong from the right.
With the help of a guide and learning the essential
lessons, Nefs is controlled. As Nefs is controlled, abilities become clear. The
heart becomes purified.
The guide is so important that his momentary eyebeam (
his sight into your heart) provides you with the movement that you can’t obtain
by struggling for years.
As your heart is purified, he inspires the goodness constantly and makes
you go towards the goodness. As the other organs are dependent on heart, it is
easy for them to do favor.
The worship, goodness and avoiding from sins that seem difficult before
become easy and you take pleasure in worshipping. And this make you get closer
to Allah (c.c.).
You go to doctor when you have a problem with your
health and are treated. This is like the moral treatment that is done with the
help of these guides. There are doctors for every problem. Allah (c.c.)
provides them with this ability and they know how to treat the illnesses in the
heart.
THE GRADES OF NEFS
Everything begins with
controlling the Nefs.
The Nefs naturally has two sides. It could demand either kindness or evil.
It always demands evil if you do not educate it. It could even go further: the
divinity (like the Pharaoh).
There are 7 grades of the Nefs. As the Nefs is educated, it upgrades and it
begins to demand kindness instead of evil. I will briefly mention about this
situation.
1.
Nefs-i Emmare : This is the Nefs
that continually demands evil. The person who has this Nefs does not care about
right or wrong things. The end of this is catastrophic.
2.
Nefs-i Levvame : People in this Nefs
do evil but later, they regret doing such things and they appeal for mercy.
This situation goes on like this.
3.
Nefs-i Mülhime : People in this Nefs
begin to enjoy worshiping and doing kindness.
4.
Nefs-i Mutmaine : This is the
position of sainthood.
5.
Nefs-i Radıye : This is the Nefs
that is reached by the people who keep nothing but Allah (c.c.) in their
hearts.
6.
Nefs-i Merdiyye : This is the Nefs
that Allah (c.c.) is pleased with. This position is granted to great
protectors.
7.
Nefs-i Kamile : This is the final
stage. A few people can reach up to this position. People who reach up to this
position are called ‘Murshid-i Kamil’. This position is granted to
people who are called ‘Pole’ or ‘gavs’. They are responsible for educating
others from now on. They serve to Allah (c.c.) to the core from now on. And Allah
(c.c.) gives the whole universe to them and the world turns around them.
Everyone who is on this way
can educate his/her Nefs under the leadership of a spiritual guide. If he/she
is intimate and endeavors, he/she can gain a position and can witness spiritual
situations that he/she never dreams of.
WHY
YOU SHOULD VISIT SHEIKHS:
Sheikhs follow from a
distance and spiritually guide. Allah (c.c.) has given them this
responsibility. The place does not matter. When you are dependent on this,
sheikhs know your situation no matter how far you are. It is enough for you to
carry a torch. You should visit them at least once a year. You should stay in
the places where sheikhs have been because there are radiance, mercy and grade
in the places where sheikhs have been. We can take the advantage of it. Also,
it is more useful that sheikhs look to the heart.
THE
MIRACLE (Keramet):
This people have the miracle
capability. Allah (c.c.) allows them to use this capability but sheikhs do not
use their capabilities unless they need to. Sheikhs’ doing the opposite cannot
be expected because the miracle is not a toy.
When a follower is in trouble, sheikhs can use their miracle capability to save
him/her.
I myself saw Sayyid Abdulbaki’s miracles in both my dreams and everyday life.
Some people go to such places
only to witness a miracle. They come up empty-handed. What you intend turns you
back. So, you should go such places only to get the allowance of Allah (c.c.)
Let me give you an example:
In Makah, there is a place where the sayyids gather (The sayyids are people who
are descendants of Mohammed (s.a.v.).). One day, a person who has been new in
this way comes to this place. I do not know where he is from but it is certain
that he has just become a Muslim. But he is so intimate, his whole body says ‘Allah’
and everyone hears these voices. Everyone gets surprised. That is, Allah (c.c.)
grants great positions to the people who behave intimately. Nobody can
monopolize these positions.
This is a great happiness and
one of the secrets of life. This way is valuable if you want to feel yourself
special.
People are not required any
money or there are not any profits in this way. The only purpose is to get the
allowance of Allah (c.c.). Your prayers and serving are pale in comparison to
the prayers that are said by the sayyids.
Think about a person who is so close to Allah (c.c.) and think that this person
says prayers by begging for you until morning. His only purpose is to rescue
his follower. In this way, if you do something, you do it for yourself. Nobody
is forced to do something. If you appreciate this way, you will already follow
it.
But you should be careful about two
things:
1.
We should not quickly expect anything (But there are
situations like the thing I have mentioned above.). But your intimacy and
efforts can help you progress.
2.
All these things can be useful when you worship. For
instance, it is difficult for a person to get somewhere unless he/she never
performs prayer. The end of this is catastrophic. Even Mohammed (s.a.v.)
(s.a.v) cannot help him/her. To get close to Allah (c.c.), people should prayer
and avoid doing wrong things.
MURSHID-I
KAMIL IS JUST LIKE THIS. HE BOTH PRAYERS FOR YOU AND HELPS YOU EDUCATING YOUR NEFS
. HE ALSO SUCCOURS WHEN YOU ARE IN
TROUBLE.
ARE
THESE ENOUGH? NO, NOT ENOUGH…
OTHER
GREAT BLESSINGS:
It is such a great blessing
for you to get under the wings of them. They accompany you while the soul
‘SEKARAT’ is leaving your body and they prevent you from dying as an unbeliever.
IS
IT ENOUGH? NO, NOT ENOUGH…
MORE:
When
you are entombed and everyone leaves you there alone, the sheikh does not leave
you alone. He accompanies you and he helps you give the correct answers to the
questions asked by the cross angels Münkir and Nekir.
IS
IT ENOUGH? NO, NOT ENOUGH…
MORE:
During
the last judgment, they will gather under the Mohammed’s(s.a.v.) oriflamme, and
we will gather under their oriflamme, I hope. They will hold and will not release our hands there, too.
Now, think:
Do you want to be questioned all alone presence of Allah
(c.c.) or do you want Gavs and the
others to be with you and hold your hands while begging to Mohammed (s.a.v.)?
Murshid-I
Kamil is just like this. He holds your hend both this life and afterlife
The careless friend, please wake up!
You will step to a brand new world by following this way or you will carry on
living in your ordinary world without being aware of anything.
