Fâtiha

First Question In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And we seek help from Him. 1 It is a strange answer that comes to mind against two strange questions. First question: It was said: "The recitations such as Surah Al-Fatiha, Surah Yasin, and the completion of the Qur'an, which are considered sacred, are sometimes given to countless dead and living people. However, such a partial gift reaching countless souls at a single moment and each receiving the same gift is outside the realm of reason." The answer: Just as the All-Wise Creator has made the air and atmosphere a medium and means for the spread of words like the letters of the alphabet and thoughts, and just as through the medium of radio, the Adhan of Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited in a minaret can reach all places and all people at the same time; similarly, with His infinite power and boundless wisdom, even a recited Surah Al-Fatiha can be conveyed to all the believing souls at the same time. In the spiritual world, He has spread countless spiritual electric currents and spiritual radios in the spiritual atmosphere and uses them in the innate wireless telephones, operating them. Just as when a single lamp is lit, thousands of mirrors receive a complete lamp each, in the same way, if a Surah Yasin is recited, and millions of souls are given a gift, each one receives a complete Surah Yasin. Second question: It was strongly and authoritatively said: "You show witnesses from the odes of figures like Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Gavs-azam (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the acceptance of the Risale-i Nur. However, the actual speaker is the Qur'an. The Risale-i Nur is a true interpretation of the Qur'an, a translator of its truth, and a proof of its issues.

And those continuing subtleties do not require contemplation and understanding; perhaps they require reverence, affection, and encouragement. And those words, like a volume, are sufficient for them and fulfill the function of meaning. And especially those Arabic words, by concealing the word of God and the divine revelation, bring about a perpetual benefit. Indeed, my own experience shows that expressing the truths, such as the Adhan, the recitations of the prayer, and the Surahs like the Fatiha and Ikhlas, which are repeated at every occasion, in another language is very harmful. Because after the eternal words of the divine and prophetic origin are lost, the eternal feelings of those eternal subtleties are also lost. Also, the loss of the reward of each letter; and since the perpetual presence does not continue throughout the entire prayer for everyone, the harm is like the translation causing the people's expressions to obscure the soul. Yes, as the Great Imam said: "La ilaha illallah is the knowledge and the name of tawhid." We also say: Most of the words of glorification and remembrance, especially those in the Adhan and prayer, have become knowledge and names. Like the word "alam," the meaning considered is not the linguistic meaning but the religious customary meaning. Therefore, changing them is not permissible according to religion. The general meanings, which every believer must know, or in other words, the summary meaning, even the most ignorant person can quickly learn. How can those who have spent their entire lives in Islam and filled their minds with thousands of religious knowledge, fail to learn the summary meaning of these blessed words, which are the key to eternal life, in just one or two weeks? How can they be Muslims? How can they be called "intelligent people"? And to destroy the sources of light for the sake of the laziness of such people is not wise.

It is one of the thirty-one issues of the thirty-first lemma of the Thirty-First Letter. It is a point regarding the five i'cazi lemmas of a brief hadith consisting of a single sentence, which has entered here with a certain connection. The hadith-i sherif "Indeed, the caliphate after me will be thirty years" has five i'cazi lemmas, verified by the prophetic knowledge of the unseen. First: It indicates that the period of the caliphates of the Rashidun Caliphs and the six-month caliphate of Hazrat Hasan Radıyallahu Anh will be thirty years. It has exactly come to pass. Second: The caliphs of thirty years, Hazrat Abu Bakr Radıyallahu Anh, Hazrat Omar Radıyallahu Anh, Hazrat Osman Radıyallahu Anh, and Hazrat Ali Radıyallahu Anh, when calculated numerically (abjad and cipher), amount to 1326. After that date, the signs of caliphate did not appear again. The Ottoman High Caliphate ended. Third: The word "thlathun" (thirty) in cipher calculation equals 1870. If the period from the end of the Abbasid Caliphate to the emergence of the Ottoman Caliphate is considered, it amounts to approximately 1800 years. If the incomplete caliphates are included, the word "years" in "thlathun sena" (thirty years) is added. In that case, it totals 1202, which exactly corresponds to the time period when the Islamic Caliphate and the Islamic State both experienced progress and victory, as mentioned in several places in the Risaleler of the Kur'aniye Semaniye Rumuzat, such as "Indeed, We have opened for you," the Fatiha, the Surah Nasr, and the Surah Alak. Also, the entire duration of the Islamic Caliphate, including the incomplete caliphates, is exactly 1202 years, which is precisely the time period indicated.

NINTH WORD Say "Amin." A brief indication of this is as follows: Since the ن in the phrase 1 نَعْبُدُ … نَسْتَعِينُ shows us the three great communities, especially the monotheist community in the Islamic world, and particularly at that moment the millions of people praying, and makes us feel that we are among them, and that their prayers and their saying our words exactly as we say them give us a sense of their approval and a kind of intercession. We too, by saying "Amin," ask for help for the prayers of those monotheist and praying communities, and we confirm and support their causes and intercessions, and we request that their intercessions be accepted. In this way, our individual worship, prayers, and requests become collective and comprehensive worship, corresponding to the comprehensive and universal lordship. Thus, through the secret of faith's unity and Islamic unity, every time of prayer, the millions of individuals in the mosques of the Islamic world, through the connection of unity and spiritual radio waves, the "Amin" in the Fatiha acquires a comprehensive nature and the effect of millions of "Amin"s can be achieved. FOOTNOTE 1. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. 2. Glorified are You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, You are the All-Knowing, the Wise. • • •

The Imam-azam's fatwa is specific in five aspects. First: It pertains to those who are in distant lands far from the center of Islam. Second: It is based on a genuine need. Third: According to one narration, it is specifically reserved for translation into the Persian language, which is considered the language of the people of Paradise. Fourth: Permission has been specifically granted for the Fatiha, so that those who do not know it do not abandon prayer. Fifth: Permission has been granted out of an Islamic zeal arising from strong faith, so that the sacred meanings may be understood by the common people. On the contrary, translating the Arabic original out of weakness of faith, negative nationalistic thoughts, and a tendency of destruction arising from hatred and weakness of faith toward the Arabic language, and abandoning the Arabic original, is tantamount to abandoning religion itself! SECOND NOTE The followers of bid'ah (innovation), who alter Islamic symbols, first sought fatwas from the scholars of evil. They presented the fatwa we previously showed to be specific in five ways. Secondly, the followers of bid'ah adopted such a suspicious idea from foreign revolutionaries: Europe, disliking the Catholic faith, especially revolutionaries, reformers, and philosophers, embraced the Protestant faith, which was considered similar to the followers of bid'ah and the Mu'tazilah. They took advantage of the Great French Revolution to partially destroy the Catholic faith and declared Protestantism.

It is a marginal note of the will. Our master realized in the last period of his life that people were being kept away from his company, and he understood that: "There are situations in this age that could harm people in terms of personality. This illness has been given for the sake of the utmost sincerity in the profession of the Risale-i Nur. Because in this age, hypocrisy is prevalent under the veil of honor and prestige, and for the utmost sincerity in the Risale-i Nur, one must completely abandon all forms of egoism. Let my friends recite the Fatiha for my soul from afar, and offer spiritual prayers and visitations. Let them not come to my grave. The Fatiha will reach my soul even from afar. I feel a spiritual cause for completely abandoning all forms of egoism for the utmost sincerity in the Risale-i Nur. One who has dedicated himself to the Risale-i Nur, from those present with me, should take turns sending one person near my grave to inform those who come for unnecessary visits about this meaning."

For example, when speaking about the creation of the heavens and the earth, it opens a discussion about the creation of man and man's voice, and the subtle blessings and wisdom in his form. So that the mind may not be scattered, the heart overwhelmed, and the soul may directly find the Beloved. For example, "And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and your colors," 1 this verse remarkably demonstrates the mentioned truth. Indeed, countless created beings and an infinite number of coins of unity have ranks and levels, like interwoven circles, from the largest to the smallest coin. But that unity, however great it may be, is still a unity within multiplicity; it cannot fully convey the true address. Therefore, a coin of oneness must exist behind that unity, so that multiplicity may not distract, and the heart may directly face the Most Holy Being. Moreover, to draw attention to the coin of oneness and to attract the hearts, a very attractive design and a very bright light, a very sweet fragrance, a very lovely beauty, and a very powerful truth of mercy and the seal of Compassion have been placed upon that coin of oneness. Yes, it is the power of that mercy which draws the gaze of the seekers, pulls them in, leads them to the coin of oneness, makes them perceive the Oneness, and grants them the true address of "You we worship and from You we seek help." 2 Thus, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," being the index of Surah Al-Fatiha and a concise summary of the Qur'an, has become the title and interpreter of this great secret. Whoever holds this title can travel through the layers of mercy. And whoever speaks through this interpreter can learn the mysteries of mercy and see the manifestations of Compassion and kindness.

In the Afyon prison, which was the third Medrese-i Yusufiye, Ustad Said Nursi composed a treatise titled "Elhüccetü'z-Zehrâ." This highly valuable treatise, which discusses the Unity of God, the Prophethood of Ahmediyya (a.s.m.), and the interpretation of the Surah Fatiha, became a beneficial and enlightening activity in the prison because it contained scientific and faith-based lessons for the Nur students and prisoners. We reproduce below, exactly as it is, a commendation written by the students who were in prison with Ustad after the court decision. Ustad Bediüzzaman Said Nursi (May his honor be exalted) and his students going to a session of the Afyon court An example of the oppression that the previous regime inflicted upon Bediüzzaman and his students (Bediüzzaman and his students were taken from the Afyon prison to the court, surrounded by armed guards, as if they were the perpetrators of a great crime)

The branches offer fruits in the name of mercy. The branches of the tree of grace stretch out the fruits of divine blessings to your hands from every direction. In truth, it is a hand of mercy and a hand of power that extends these fruits and these branches to you. You should kiss that hand of mercy with gratitude and consecrate that hand of power with thankfulness. • • • Explanation of the three paths indicated at the end of the Fatiha 1 O my brother of pure intention! Take your imagination and come with me. Here we are on a certain ground. We look around; no one sees us. High mountains, like tent poles, are covered with a dark layer of clouds. That too has covered the surface of our ground, forming a dark veil. But the bottom is open; that surface sees the sun. Here we are under the clouds; darkness is pressing on us. The pressure is suffocating; the lack of air is killing. Now we have three paths, another world. Once I saw this symbolic ground. Yes, once I came here, and I have walked each of the three paths separately. The first path is this: Most people take this path. It is the cycle of the world, which draws us into travel. Here we are on the road, walking on foot like this. Look at the desert's sandy plains, how they rage and threaten us. Look at the ocean's stormy waves: They too are angry with us. Now praise be to God, we have reached the other side. We see the face of the sun. But only we know the hardship we have endured. Oh, we have returned here again; that wild, terrifying ground, that dark cloud ceiling. We need to awaken the eye of the heart within to see another world. If you have extraordinary courage; let us enter this path together, with complete awareness.

And this very personality of Muhammad's (a.s.m.) is the highest intermediary of the sovereignty of lordship, the true veil of the universe's mystery and the secret of grace and mercy, a clear example of compassion and love, and the strongest announcer of the eternal life and eternal happiness in the world to come, and the last and greatest messenger of the prophets. Let us imagine how much loss, error, and sin, and even crimes, one commits who does not believe in or pay attention to such a truth! Indeed, the Fatiha in prayer, as indicated in the Second Part, presents decisive evidence for the truth of the declaration "I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah," and leaves countless signs; in the Third Part, again in the declaration "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," it brings strong witnesses for the truth of prophethood and stamps it with endless confirmations. O Most Merciful, out of respect for this Most Honored Messenger (a.s.m.), make us worthy of his intercession, successful in following his Sunnah, and place us in the eternal abode near his family and companions! Ameen, ameen, ameen. Allahumma salli wasallim 'alayhi wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi bi 'adadi hurufi al-Qur'an al-maqro'ate wa al-maktubah. Ameen. Subhanaka la 'ilma lana illa ma 'allamtana.

For example, the reward of Surah Al-Fatiha is equal to the reward of the entire Qur'an; 1 the Surah Ikhlas is a quarter of the Qur'an; 2 the Surah Izâ Zulzileti’l-Ardu is a quarter; 3 the Surah Kul Yâ Eyyühe’l-Kâfirûn is a quarter; 4 and the Surah Yâsin, it is reported to be ten times the reward of the entire Qur'an. Thus, some unjust and careless people have said: "This is impossible. Because the Qur'an also contains Yâsin and other chapters of virtue. Therefore, this makes no sense." The answer is: The truth is that each letter of the Qur'an al-Hakim has its own reward and benefit. From the divine bounty, the reward of these letters varies: sometimes ten times, sometimes seventy times, sometimes seven hundred times (like the letters of Ayat al-Kursi), sometimes one thousand five hundred times (like the letters of Surah Ikhlas), sometimes ten thousand times (like the verses recited on the Night of Bar'at and those recited at accepted times), and sometimes thirty thousand times (for example, the weight of a mustard seed, like the verses recited on the Night of Qadr). And since "that night is equivalent to a thousand months," it is understood that one letter on that night has the reward of thirty thousand. Thus, the Qur'an al-Hakim, with its multiplicative rewards, certainly cannot and does not achieve balance. Perhaps with their original rewards, some chapters can achieve balance. For example, imagine a field where wheat has been sown, and a thousand grains have been planted. Suppose some of the grains produce seven ears, and each ear contains a hundred grains. In that case, a single grain would be equivalent to two quarters of the entire field. Suppose another grain produces ten ears, and each ear contains two hundred grains. In that case, a single grain would be twice as much as the grains in the original field. And similarly, you can compare. Now, imagine the Qur'an al-Hakim as a sacred, celestial field of light. Each letter is like a grain in this field. The ears they produce are not to be considered. Chapters like Surah Yâsin, Ikhlas, Fatiha, Kul Yâ Eyyühe’l-Kâfirûn, and Izâ Zulzileti’l-Ardu can be compared with other chapters and verses that have been reported to have special virtues. For example, since the Qur'an al-Hakim has 306,220 letters, the Surah Ikhlas, including the Basmalah, has 69 letters. Three times 69 is 207 letters. Therefore, each letter of Surah Ikhlas
