Notes
Hz. A classified treatise by Ahmed Ilâhî, stated to have been written for Shah Efendi. In Suleymaniye Library, Kemal Edip Collection, no. 56, between sheets 305b-307a. Ahmed İlâhî is a work consisting of 1 leaf and 1 page, written by Ahmet İlâhî (Kara, 2001, p. 219), originally from Bukhara and the founder of the first known Naqshî lodge in Anatolia, in which Arabic is used in prose and Persian is used in poetry. It is estimated that the treatise was written by a scribe. The work contains good news that Allah will reveal these secrets to those who ask for it among the servants in the sea of monotheism, a sentence of praise and a message of praise to the Prophet. It begins with salutation to the Prophet. In the treatise, which includes Ahmed Ilâhî's concept of monotheism, the realms of property, kingdom and domination used by Sufis in the imagination of the world are classified. Among these worlds, the journey of the wise is from malakut (the field of spiritual beings) to mulk (the field of objects). It is sent to the realm of ceberut (the area between property and angels) to complete the deficiencies of those who follow the path of Allah and for training. Before moving on to the truths of tawhid seen during this journey, Ilahi talks about the grammatical structure and reality of la an-nafiye at the beginning of the phrase "La ilahe illallah". He draws attention to the importance of the word "Hû" in the Word Tawhid. The negative particle "la" in this sentence, which is the basis of the belief in Tawhid, emphasizes the fact that there is no god other than Him and that the only and real one is Allah. The truth of Tawhid is manifested in the servants by Hz. Noah describes the flood and the excitement at the time of the flood. In this representation, he likens the devotee Noah (as), who was on his way to the path of Allah, to the time of Noah's flood, the enthusiasm and the cataclysm that occurred as a result of his education and training, the excitement and spiritual state experienced by the heart of the wise from the enlightenment. According to Ilahi, every wise man who experiences the joy he experiences as a result of the enlightenment of his heart represents the Noah of that century. The first of the two types of journey is from the kingdom to the kingdom, and the other is from the kingdom to the world of property. The first of this journey is sahibu imâmü'l-eymen and the other one is sahibu imâmü'l-yüsr. He names what comes after that as pole. Qutb refers to abu'l-wakti (the one who has the present). Again, the first seyr is seyr ilallah ve fillah and the other one is seyr 'anillah. These two journeys point to the Sufis' understanding of misak, which is a return and a reunion of two starting points, that is, a return to our previous state. Ahmed Ilahi, in his treatise, evaluated in the idea of unity of existence, "There was Allah and there was nothing with Him." He also included explanations regarding his statement. The treatise continues with Persian poems by different authors. These poems do not belong to Ahmet İlâhî, but seem to have been added by the copyist.
