The word “Rahayee or Freedom” is a combination of two words. “Rah” which means “path” and “Ayee” which means “come to”. Namely, it means \u201cto come onto path\u201d. Whoever comes onto path is free. And, “Path” is not a place beyond; “path” is placed within your inherent characteristics.\u00a0 Good for the one who sees his own inherent characteristics and stays on it.\u00a0 Such a person drinks from his own springs (Such a person searches for “truth” within himself)<\/p>\n

And the adventure starts.\u00a0 And this is the event that has been happening more often in this one thousand four hundred and few years.\u00a0 Now in this article, the purpose is to explain the internal or esoteric essence in a way that fits the present time, since I know the world of Islam more than any other times need to have such an understanding.\u00a0 Understanding which naturally is in relative form and it is far from any absolute thought.\u00a0 Because, it is clear to the learned and well-educated that only “Allah” Himself knows thoroughly and perfectly the meaning of the words of Right. Paying attention to the superficial, exoteric, or Afaqi (out of self) essence during the history has been done in many different ways and with a look at the interpretation books and other related notes it is quite evident.\u00a0 But, it has been a less attention spent unbiased and rationally to the internal (esoteric) essence.\u00a0 Now, you who have problem in understanding the verses of Qur\u2019an do yourself a favor and pay attention to the internal essence like a mystic with a soft, open, and free mind till you are rewarded by it<\/p>\n Visualize the “Qur\u2019an” as a bright and luminous \u201cHuman\u201d.\u00a0 In order to enter into its internal essence, looking at it this way is very important and necessary.\u00a0 In this “Human”, both Allah and Satan talk to human.\u00a0 Both, the people of faith and the people of disbelief are present.\u00a0 Verses of friend and verses of enemy are both available.\u00a0 There are both, the light and the darkness.\u00a0 In this “Human”, there are both Moses and Pharaoh.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0There are both forces of \u201cAad\u201d and forces of \u201cThamud\u201d.\u00a0 A system which tramples people’s rights and makes them weak with unjust exploitation (Estez’af), and on the other hand, a system in which some people become powerful by using power and cruelty (Estekbar).\u00a0 As is in this “Human”, the divine forces with the names of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon him) exist; there are also forces as Iblis (Satan), Nimrod, Qaroon, and Abu Lahib.\u00a0 In this “Human”, there is a mention of ignorance and science (wisdom), as well.\u00a0 It has been spoken of both, astray and guidance.\u00a0 This is a perfect human.\u00a0 It has all in itself.\u00a0 Nothing is left out.\u00a0 There are both, the Jinn (devil) and the Human (as oppose to mankind).\u00a0 There’s both, the Human and the Angels.

And, from this lethal disease I seek refuge in great God.\u00a0 The lack of refinement is the great disease of our age, and the Islamic world is also severely suffering from this illness and suffering.\u00a0 The people of the Qur’an are those who are diligent in their quest for purification of the self.\u00a0The people of Qur\u2019an are the people of refinement and they get rid of the accessories.\u00a0 And they know, the world will experience peace and security when all people individually pay attention to refinement and purification of self from thoughts and destructive understandings and act upon it.\u00a0 Until this is not happening, the world even with severe laws will not be a peaceful and safe place.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0It cannot be.\u00a0 And, you see that it hasn\u2019t happened.\u00a0 In my view, The Qur’anic wisdom is the purifier of the unpleasant features (indecent acts).\u00a0 It is the savior of the seeker from a dark thought mind.\u00a0 It is the destroyer of all unkindness and frustrations; all selfishness and brags.\u00a0 Qur\u2019anic wisdom delivers bright and luminous \u201cHuman\u201d. The human who he could like all creatures of Allah; he could love all; and he could be in their service in a best way.\u00a0 Qur’anic wisdom brings freedom and liberation.\u00a0 It results in freeing from stupid and foolish perceptions.\u00a0 If it is other than this, it is not Qur’anic conduct.\u00a0 The people of Qur’an have always Qur’anic behavior and attitude.\u00a0 And these are the ones that are continuously respected by the earth and the sky<\/p>\n Masoud Riaei<\/strong><\/p>\n Translated By: Mehrdad Rahmani<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The word “Rahayee or Freedom” is a combination of two words. “Rah” which means “path” and “Ayee” which means “come to”.
