Tâğût

In His Name, the Sublime, 1 Beloved, sincere brothers; for two or three times, a significant spiritual condition has been appearing to me. It is similar to the spiritual revolutions that thirty years ago in Istanbul, took me to Mount Yûşâ, made me leave behind the attractive social life of Istanbul and the House of Wisdom, and even did not allow me to take with me the first and brave disciple of Nur, the late Abdurrahman, who was necessary for my service, and showed the nature of the new Said. Now, the beginning of such a spiritual revolution has started in me. I think it is a sign of the emergence of a third Said and the entire world path. Therefore, the Lights and their brave disciples will carry out my duties; there is no need for me anymore. Indeed, each congregation and each unwavering, pure disciple of Nur teaches better than I do. Said Nursî • • • In His Name, the Sublime, 1 First: I think, from some signs, that they are paying the most attention to the Guide among our published collections. I believe that the Point of "Hu" has broken the legs of our hidden Zindik enemies and has scattered the nature-taagût upon which they rely. While it could hide to some extent in the rough land, in the clear air, after the Point of "Hu," there is no possibility left to hide that taagût in any direction, which they are misleading the judiciary with excuses of disbelief and stubbornness and directing it against us. God willing, the Lights will turn the judiciary in our favor and will also prevent this attack. Second: At this time, both the Ehl-i Sünnet newspaper, and this place's newspaper, and Zübeyir's enthusiastic opposition, have become a good announcement of their dealings with the Lights. Please look at the topics about us that suit me, and inform me. Said Nursî • • •

Şualar ·On Dorduncu Sua ·machine translation (qwen3-32b-sre)

In short: Ene, originally like air or vapor, becomes liquid due to the importance given to it. Then it thickens with affection. Then it thickens further with ignorance and rebellion, to the point that it swallows its owner. People, comparing themselves to their Creator, begin to oppose His commands. In the small world, that is, in man, ene resembles in the great man, that is, in nature of the universe. Both are from the category of tâghuts. O you who have understanding! The life of good deeds and virtues is intention. Corruption is also due to arrogance, hypocrisy, and show. And the essence of conscience, which is felt directly in the heart with awareness, is negated by a second awareness and intention. Just as the life of deeds is intention, similarly, intention in a way is the death of natural conditions. For example, the intention of humility corrupts it; the intention of suspicion destroys it; the intention of joy removes it; the intention of sorrow and grief diminishes it. And similarly, you may compare. O you who have understanding! The universe is a tree. The elements are its branches. Plants are its leaves. Animals are its flowers. People are its fruits. The most luminous, most beautiful, most noble, and most excellent of these fruits is Sayyidü'l-Enbiyâ ve'l-Mürselîn, Imâmü'l-Müttakîn, Habîb-i Rabbü'l-Âlemîn, the noble Prophet Muhammad. May the best prayers be upon him as long as the earth and the heavens endure.

Here is an example of the joy and happiness of the people who walk on that second path, from the countless conditions that exist. You can compare the other conditions. Throughout the journey of that second path, there is a military mobilization and organization with joy and celebration, called "tevellüdat," and a military discharge with joy and music, called "vefiyat." Indeed, the All-Wise Qur'an has gifted this path to humanity. Whoever fully accepts this gift will walk on this second path leading to the happiness of both worlds. He will not fear the past nor fear the future. O second, corrupt Europe! Some of your rotten and baseless principles are these: "From the greatest angel to the smallest worm, every living being is the master of its own self, works for its own being, and strives for its own pleasure. It has a right to life. Its aim and purpose are to live and to ensure its own survival," you say. And you mistakenly consider the compassionate and generous laws of the Benevolent Creator, and the mutual support law, which is revealed through the attachment with utmost obedience in the framework of the universe, and the help of plants to animals and the help of animals to humans, as a struggle. Foolishly, you say, "Life is a struggle." Now, how can the movement of the smallest food particles, with the utmost eagerness, to nourish the body's cells be considered a struggle? How can it be a conflict? Perhaps that help and that movement is a mutual support ordered by a Benevolent Lord. You also have a rotten principle, saying, "Everything is the master of its own self." But there is an absolute proof that nothing is the master of its own self: Among causes, the most noble and the one with the broadest will at the point of choice is the human being. However, from the hundred parts of the most obvious voluntary acts of this human being, such as thinking, speaking, and eating, only one part is given to his will and falls within the circle of his power. Thus, how can one who is not the master of even one part of a hundred parts of such an obvious act be called the master of himself?

Lem'alar ·On Yedinci Lema ·machine translation (qwen3-32b-sre)

If the ego is not broken with strict discipline in time, it grows and swallows the human body. If the people's egos become rebellious, they rise up against the Creator's command and become true devils. Then, they measure the people according to themselves, include the causes in that measurement, and fall into great polytheism. God forbid! An important matter: The ego has two aspects. One aspect is taken by prophecy, and the other is taken by philosophy. The first aspect is rooted in pure servitude. Its essence is literal and not independent. Its body is metaphorical and not original. Its ownership is illusory and not real. Its duty is to serve as a measure and standard for understanding the Creator's attributes. The Prophets (peace be upon them), by looking at this aspect of the ego, have declared that the entire dominion is surrendered to Allah, and that He has no partner in ownership, lordship, or divinity. From this aspect of the ego, the Almighty has planted the tree of servitude, and from its branches and twigs in the garden of creation, blessed fruits such as the Prophets, the saints, and the truthful have emerged. The second aspect, taken by philosophy, assumes that the ego's body is original and that it is independent and the true owner. Its duty is only to develop life through love of the self. From this dark face of the ego, various forms of polytheism and deviations have emerged. For example: From the branch of the beastly power, the followers of animal instincts have emerged. From the wrathful power, Pharaohs and Nimrods have emerged. From the intellectual power, the eternalists, materialists, and philosophers have emerged, who attribute a single creation to the Necessary of Existence and distribute the rest of His dominion among others.
