– Okokuqala, umzali angazi yini ukuthi ungumzali? Kufike kanjani kithi ukuthi bangabazali?
Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Kuyizichazamazwi, leli gama lisho lokhu. Kwezinkolelo zamaSulumane, lisho:
UMprofethi uMuhammad (ukuthula kube kuye) naye wachaza abangcwele ngale ndlela:
Ikhramat yevliya yiqiniso. U-Evliya usebenzisa ikhramat yakhe njengobufakazi benkolo.
Bonke abantu abaye bafundisa abantu ngamaqiniso nangokulungileyo, baye bakhonza ngendlela yabo yokufundisa. Uma sicabanga ngabo, kokubili ngokuphathelene nendlela yabo yokufundisa kanye nendlela yabo yokushumayela…
Nakuba izikhundla ezingokomoya zikaMprofethi nabangane bakhe zazingezabo kuphela, akekho umuntu ongaba umprofethi noma afinyelele ezingeni labangane bakhe ngomzamo wakhe noma ngomsebenzi wakhe. Ngoba leyo ndlela nomnyango sekuvaliwe.
Kodwa, ngaphandle kwalokhu, abanye abaholi abakhulu bezenkolo babonakala kuzo zonke izikhathi nezizukulwane ngemva kwenkathi yokuphumelela, futhi basiza abantu abangamaMuslim ngokomoya. Ngemva kokushona kukaMprofethi (ukuthula kube kuye), iqiniso nokuqinisile kwatholakala ngezindlela ezimbili: ngendlela yenhliziyo nengqondo. Abaholi abakhulu bezenkolo abagxile enhliziyweni futhi baqinisekisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamaqiniso okholo ngendlela yokuthola nokwenza izimangaliso, kanye nabaholi bokholo abathola ugqozi lwabo ngokuqondile encwadini naseSunnah, futhi bazi kahle iqiniso ngendlela yengqondo, imibono, nobufakazi.
Ukuze siqonde kangcono ukuthi bangobani abantu ababizwa ngokuthi ama-Asfiya, kufanele sibheke izincazelo zikaBediüzzaman ngalolu daba. Ustad, encwadini yakhe ethi (1), ubachaza njengabantu abalandela iSunnet-i Seniyye, okuyifa elashiywa nguMprofethi (ukuthula nokubusiswa kube phezu kwakhe). Kanti encwadini yakhe ethi (2), uchaza izindlela zabo. Bona bazama ukufakazela amaqiniso okholo ngobufakazi obuqinile nobunamandla.
Kuleyo mbhalo, sibona izici ezivelele zabaprofethi, abangcwele, nabahlakaniphile ngale ndlela elandelayo:
(3)
Lapha nakhona kubonakala ukuthi, uma kusesimweni, kuqala. Futhi, eMektubat, ngokusho kuka-Imam-ı Rabbanî, uBediüzzaman, ohlukanisa izinto zibe zintathu, uyayibiza ngesikhundla esiphakeme kakhulu se-velayet.
(4)
ngokuthi, indlela elandelwa ngama-Sufi yile.
Futhi, ekuqaleni kwe-Mesnevî-i Nûriye, kunikezwa incazelo ehlanganisa zombili izindlela zokufundisa. Kule ndlela, ngokungafani nalabo abazibandakanya ekuzindleni nasekuvaleni amehlo engqondo ukuze bafinyelele eqinisweni, kukhona umzamo wengqondo, womphefumulo, nowomqondo wokufuna ulwazi lwezinto ezingokomoya nezifundisayo. Ngoba le ndlela yeqiniso, njengoba ibizwa, yafika ngo-Imam-ı Gazalî, Mevlâna, no-Imam-ı Rabbanî, futhi yaqhubeka nango-Bediüzzaman esikhathini sethu.(5)
Konke abefundisi bayavumelana ngalokhu:
Ngakho-ke, ukukholwa ngendlela engabonakali ezintweni eziyisisekelo zokholo kuphakeme kunokukholwa ngendlela yokuzibonela, njengoba kwenza abanye abantu abangcwele, nokukuqinisa ukholo ngaleyo ndlela. Ivesi lesithathu leSurah Al-Baqarah liyakufakazela lokhu ngamazwi athi: “Bona bakholwa ngalokho okungabonakali.”
Nokho, ngaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, izigidi zabantu abangcwele zibonile futhi zafakazela amaqiniso okholo ngendlela yokutholwa ngokomoya kanye nezimangaliso; kanti izigidigidi zabantu abayeza nabahambayo, ababizwa ngokuthi abahloli, baye bafakazela la maqiniso ngendlela eqinisekile, ngengqondo, ngomqondo, nangendlela enamandla.
Kodwa ukuhlukanisa nokunquma izikhundla nezigaba zikamoya zama-awliya nama-asfiya, izimfanelo zabo nobuhle babo, ngeke kwenzeke ngendlela ecacile. Nokho, ngoba ama-asfiya, njengoba kubonisiwe ngezibonelo zama-imam amane ezikolweni zokucabanga, kanye nabanye abafundi be-hadith, i-kalam, ne-fiqh, baphakamile ngoba baqhubeka nezikhundla zabo, ngaphezu kwabantu abafinyelela eqinisweni ngendlela yokuthola nokwenza izimangaliso. Ngakho-ke, akufanele kuthathwe njengokuthi ama-asfiya aphansi kunama-awliya ngokwezikhundla, ngokubheka izinkulumo ezahlukahlukene ezitholakala e-Risale-i Nur. Kodwa abanye abantu, njengoba nabo bengama-mujtahid, bangaba nezikhundla ezikhazimulayo ngokwezimfanelo ezikhethekile, kodwa ngokwezikhundla zikamoya, abantu abanjengama-imam amane, abangamakhosi ama-asfiya, baphakeme kunabo bonke ngemuva kwama-sahaba noMehdi. (6)
Abantu abangamaSufi bahlukanisa ubuholi bube yizigaba ezimbili: ubuholi obujwayelekile nobuholi obukhethekile. Ubuholi obukhethekile, ngomqondo obanzi, buqondene nabo bonke abakholwa abalungileyo abanokuzithoba, ikakhulu abaprofethi, abakhonza futhi bakhonza ngendlela ehlelekile, eqhubekayo, eqinile futhi enobuqotho. (7)
Ukusondela kuNkulunkulu nokuba ngumngane waKhe kutholakala ngokusenza ibandla nokukhonza kuYe, ngakho-ke izinga labakholwayo ekuphatheni liyahlukahluka ngokuya ngemisebenzi yabo, ukukhonza kwabo, kanye nokuzinikela kwabo. Ukuphatha okujwayelekile kuthola inani elikhulu njengoba kuguquka kube ukuphatha okukhethekile. Umgomo womuntu ukufinyelela ekuphatheni okukhethekile nokuba phakathi kwabantu abasondelene noNkulunkulu. Kodwa njengoba ukusondela kwabo bonke abantu abasondelene noNkulunkulu kungafani, ukuphatha okukhethekile nakho kunamazinga amaningi kanye nezindawo eziningi. (8)
Ngempela, umehluko wobuhle phakathi kwabaprofethi nabangane babo uvela ekuhlukeni kokusondelana noNkulunkulu.
U-Abu Nu’aym al-Isfahani uyaphawula ngaye.
– O’nunla karşılaşıldığında Allah’ı hatırlatan,
– Obekezelayo izinkinga nezinsizi,
– Omunye oyaneliswa ukudla okuncane,
– Akazithandi ukugqoka kahle,
– Ongakhohliswa ubuhle bomhlaba,
– Ukuzindla ngezidalwa ezidalwe nguNkulunkulu, afunde kuzo, azithathe njengezifundo,
– Lowo othembekile esivumelwaneni sakhe noNkulunkulu,
– Abantu abathanda uNkulunkulu ngothando,
– Labo abenza imikhuleko yabo ngokuphelele,
– Olanların hakkına saygı duyan,
– Ukusiza abantu ngezidingo zabo,
– Omunye oqotho, ohloniphekile, nonobulungiswa, onenhliziyo ebuhlungu, kodwa obuso bakhe buhleka.
Abantu abaningi bashadile.(9)
Kunemibono eyahlukene mayelana nokuthi umuntu okholwayo angazi yini ukuthi ungumveli noma cha. Ngokunye, umveli ngumuntu othobekile. Ngisho noma kwenzeka isenzo esingavamile kuye, uyasaba ukuthi kungaba yisilingo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi uyakhathazeka ngomphumela wako.(10)
Ngokunye, kungenzeka ukuthi umuntu othembekileyo azi ukuthi ungumvikeli. Uma umuntu ethola izindaba ezivela kuNkulunkulu ezimqinisekisayo ukuthi ungumvikeli, uyakholwa ekuvikelweni kwakhe. Kukhona abavikeli emhlabeni abangaziwa ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu. Ngokuvumelana nendaba ethi “Abavikeli bami bangaphansi kwezindlu zami, akekho omunye owaziyo ngaphandle kwami”, uNkulunkulu ubaqambile laba bavikelayo ngaphansi kwezindlu zabo zokuzihlukanisa (11).
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
