On the Holy Qur’an

The Holy Qur’an is a divine rope with which Allah leads (to the right path) His qulls who have been brought to hidayat (guidance) by Him. The Qur’an is the ethics of the Prophet (sa) of Allah, the gate of al-Haqq, an always apparent miracle and an unextinguishable noor. The souls of arifs receive the secrets of divine marifat from the Qur’an. The marifat which is not sourced in the Qur’an is crooked and corrupted. When the qull is able to understand the Qur’an in haqiqah, he becomes an arif. Secrets of al-Rabb, the angels, the malaqut become revealed to him. When the arif begins to yearn and cry, he wishes to increase his knowledge about Allah through every kind of knowledge and path. In any case, all these kinds of knowledge and paths are present in the Qur’an al-Azeem.

Arifs are people who have gone deep in knowledge. They say that they have believed in the Qur’an. The path of the endeavours of the arifs reaches its end in the Qur’an. They are in love with the Qur’an and they receive all their fayz from it. For this reason, the arifs are called ‘the friends of sohbat’ of al-Haqq. Through this secret, they discern the untrue from al-Haqq.
