Biography:

Иҝирминҹи Ләм’а.

Иxлас һаггында.

(Онјединҹи лә`манын Онјединҹи нөгтәсинин једди мә’сәләсиндән беш нөгтәдән ибарәт олан икинҹи мә’сәләсинин биринҹи нөгтәси икән, әһәијјәтинә бинаән Ијирминҹи лә’ма олду.)


¬ بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

اِنَّا اَنْزَلْنَا اِلْيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِاْلحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللّهَ

مُخْلِصًا لَهُ الدِّينَ{ اَلاَ لِلّهِ الدِّينُ الْخَالِصُ


Ајәтијлә вә


هَلَكَ النَّاسُ اِلاَّ الْعَالِمُونَ وَهَلَكَ الْعَالِمُونَ اِلاَّ الْعَامِلُون وَهَلَكَ الْعَامِلُونَ اِلاَّ الْمُخْلِصُونَ وَالْمُخْلِصُونَ عَلَى خَطَرٍ عَظِيمٍ

[1]Һәдиси Шәрифи, икиси дә “Иxлас” нә гәдәр Исла-ијәтдә мүһим бир әсас олдуғуну көстәрирләр.

Бу иһлас мәсәләсинин һәдсиз нөктәләриндән тәк “Беш Нөктәји” мүхтәсәр шәкилдә бәһс едәҹәјик.

Биринҹи нөктә:

Мөһим вә Мүдһиш бир суал:

Нијә әһл-и дүнја, әһли гәфләт, һәтта әһл-и дәла-ләт вә әһл-и нифак рәгабәтсиз иттифаг етдикләри һалда, әһл-и һаг вә әһл-и вифаг олан әсһаб-ы дәјанәт вә әһл-и елм вә тәригәт нә үчүн рәгабәтли ихтилаф едирләр?

Иттифаг әһл-и вифагын һаггы икән вә зилаф, әһ-л-и нифагын лазымы икән нә үчүн бу һаг ораја ҝечди вә бу һагсызлыг бураја ҝелди?

Әлҹаваб: Бу елм вә феҹи вә әһл-и һамијети агла-даҹаг һадисә-и мүдһишәнин бир чох әсбабындан једди себебини бәјан едеҹејиз:

БИРИНҸИСИ: Әһл-и һаггын ихтилафы һагигәт-сизликдән ҝәлмәдији кими, әһл-и гәфләтин иттифагы да һәгигәтсизликдән деғилдир. Бәлкә бүтүн дүнјанын вә бүтүн сијасетин вә бүтүн мәктәб кими һәјат-ы иҹти-маијјәтинин тәбәгәсинә даир бир мүәјјән вәзифә илә вә хас бир хидмәт илә мәшғул тајфаларын, ҹамаатла-рын вә ҹәмијјәтләрин вәзифәләри тәәјјүн едиб ајрыл-мыш вә о вәзаиф мүгабилиндәки алаҹаглары мәишәт нөктәсиндәки мадди гијмәт вә һүббү ҹаһ вә шан-шә-рәф нөктәсиндә тәвәҹҹүһ-ү насдан алаҹаклары ([2] Һа-шијә) мә`нәви гијмәт тәәјјүн етмиш вә ајрылмыш. Мүзаһамә вә мунагишә вә рәгабәти интаҹ едәҹәк дә-рәҹәдә бир иштирак јохдур. Онун үчүн бунлар нә гә-дәр фәна бир мәсләкдә дә ҝетсәләр, бир-бири
