Like all of his works, this book has been written for curious minds that wonder what their place ...

What do we know about the world that is beyond our physical perception? What does a man's lifetime in this world amount to if compared to the universal dimension of time? If there is no god up in the sky who expects worship from people, then what is the reason behind religious and spiritual practices? What are we going to experience through and beyond death? The author discusses what the Quran and modern sciences say about these topics and more.

THIS TRANSLATION HAS BEEN REVISED IN SEPTEMBER 2011! Universal Mysteries is a fascinating, and in most ways, a unique book. It provides the answers to many intriguing questions about the origin and the nature of the universe, as well as the purpose of humans. It is an ideal read for contemplative minds seeking to understand the scientific basis of spirituality in a comprehensive and concise way. Over the centuries, Sufism communicated the reality of ‘non-duality.’ It told us what we observe as the world-out-there is in fact a virtual image and the ultimate reality is the Oneness of all ...

THIS TRANSLATION HAS BEEN REVISED IN MARCH 2012! Why not just Allah? Why Muhammad’s Allah? This unique book explains that Allah is not a god (deity) and that this god-concept we have all come to embrace, as a result of misleading information and conditioning, is not the Allah expounded by Muhammad (saw). Everyone, from the most learned to the most ignorant, has a concept of God. A God that we love, get angry with, judge and even accuse, at times, for doing wrong by us! We imagine this God, who sits on a star in the heavens or dwells somewhere in space, to be like a benevolent paternal ...

“Prayer is the weapon of a believer.” - Muhammad (saw) Prayer is the act of actualizing one’s wants through the divine powers present within. There is of course a scientific explanation to this act. Essentially prayer is ‘guided brain waves.’ Just as the dimension of knowledge transforms into energy and the quantum field to form the universe, the wants and desires of consciousness emanate from the dimension of knowledge to reveal themselves as the wants and desires of man and become actualized through the densification of guided brain waves. Due to this, the stronger the ...

The Essence of Man is a re-evaluation, or perhaps a renovation, of what has for centuries been indisputably accepted as the fundamental teachings of Islam. By deconstructing the outer conventional meanings of the many religious or, more specifically, Islamic labels and concepts, the reader is taken to explore the underlying universal meanings of the symbols and metaphors of their faith, and hence the essence of their self. What is the purpose of religion? What is Sufism? What state of existence lies beyond death? Who or what is referenced by the name ‘Allah’? What was the ultimate ...

It is an overwhelming experience of perfection and beauty to witness the "oneness", i.e., the "reality", perceived as intuition or "revelation" by those in the past and relayed through allegories and metaphors, arriving at the same truth with scientific findings.. As exquisitely and descriptively as one may talk about “What beauty is”, ultimately its meaning can be as diverse and numerous as its admirers. Yet no matter how infinitely various its expressions and experience may be, the concept of beauty will always remain one. In a much similar way, although God can be defined in as many ...

What is the difference behind “ALIENS” and “NECROMANCY”? What is the SPIRIT, what is its make up? What is the make-up of MAN? What are ANGELS? Who are the ALIENS, where are they coming from and what is their purpose? The Quran claims the MAJORITY of mankind is possessed by the JINN, how so? There seems to be a MAHDI in almost every city! Why do these people believe they are the MAHDI, leading so many astray? Besides causing irreparable damage to the brain, what is the connection between SMOKING and the jinn? What’s with these “Great Masters” who can’t stop smoking? What is ...

He who wants to observe the reality can do so even on a single verse... Whether that be a manifestation in worldly form or a literal verse encrypted in the Quran... For just as the part contains the whole, a single verse can be a gateway into endless realizations, both inward and outward... In this light, this tiny, yet very special selection and interpretation of verses by Ahmed Hulusi, released as a preliminary to Decoding the Quran, is like an invitation to man, to read and know himself... As only through a comprehensive knowledge of the self we have a real chance to know the One! So let...

In Sufism (Islamic Mysticism), there is a phenomenon referred to as Annihilation in Allah, a state in which a person releases himself from the false reality of his ego, and manifests his True Self. Giving up ego-driven desires and showing equanimity in the face of changing circumstances one ascends to the level of a 'servant of Allah', reaching the station of divine pleasure. Essentially Sufism is based on the reality that everything and everyone in the corporeal worlds is the manifestation of the One, and so everyone in terms of their essence, is comprised of the Divine Names, the very ...

For most of us, religion plays a big part in our lives. We easily get protective and defensive when someone speaks adversely about our faith. But does claiming to be a Muslim make one a true Muslim? Can one be a believer just by claiming to be one? What does the word believer mean? Why do we use this word? Faith is not something that is acquired, it's part of our natural composition. Though it may become apparent during the later stages of one’s life. This can only occur if it is already inherent in one’s nature. What does it mean for faith to become apparent in one’s life? Just ...

The Names of Allah, more commonly known as the Divine Names or the Most Beautiful Names, are the loci of manifestation. They are the attributes and relations through which Divine Self-disclosure occurs. Everything derives its existence and originates from the meanings and qualities that are denoted by the Names of Allah; hence, the Names and their manifestations are our only means of knowing the reality of Allah. Analogously, Muhammad (SAW) says “He who knows himself will know his Sustainer”. Since the Divine Names comprise the essence of all things, and the essence of all things is ...

"READ!" The Reality Behind Muhammad’s First Revelation: The first verse and command of the Quran is ‘READ’! But how did this command reach Muhammad (saw) and what did he feel at that moment? How did the angel Gabriel (as) come to him, ask him to ‘READ’ and ‘squeeze’ him; what was this experience like for Muhammad (saw)? In this book I hope to present you with a totally unique perspective. As the title suggests, I’m going to explore ‘what Muhammad (saw) read’ – not literally, but actually...

THE RASUL OF ALLAH… THE POINT AT WHICH THE KNOWLEDGE OF ALLAH IS REVEALED. From the moment that the system and knowledge of Allah were revealed to Muhammad (saw), he faced significant challenges in conveying the message of Islam. Muhammad and his early followers endured persecution, economic sanctions, and social ostracism. They faced physical harm, and some even lost their lives due to the relentless hostility. Despite these hardships, Muhammad continued to preach the message of Islam with patience and perseverance, paving the way for the message of Islam to eventually span across the ...

Some find solace in repeating the past and some renew themselves at every instance. Renewal, constant renewal, is a blessing bestowed upon only a rare minority! To mercilessly question everything and to re-evaluate ones entire database with every new bit of information… To be in a state of contemplation at all times… This is the way of the one who has reached the consciousness of being a HUMAN. This book has been written for minds that wonder what their place is within this infinite existence. How happy for me if I could be of any service to those that research, question and contemplate!
