Notes	Hüdâyî's Fethu'l-bâb ve ref'u'l-hıcâb (the opening of the door and the raising of the curtain), is a small treatise in Arabic of 8-10 pages, which, as its name suggests, tells some subtle and deep Sufi truths. The work consists of three parts. First Part: This part is about the secret of human creation. Regarding the creation of man, the author says: Allah Almighty created man with his two generous hands and made him the master of everything in both worlds. With His right hand, Allah determines the beings other than humans, angels, heaven and the subjects related to it; that is, with the adjective of beauty; devils, hell and those related to it with his left hand; In other words, He created it with the attribute of Jalal. Each gender returns to its origins. Human beings with both hands of God Almighty; He is a being created with the attributes of beauty and majesty. That's why jalal and beauty appear together in him. Man is prone to both goodness, beauty, goodness and faith, and to evil, evil and magnificence. Second Chapter: In this chapter, the subject of repentance is discussed. It is emphasized that repentance is the basis of every state and position, and the basis of every virtue and perfection. The beginning of repentance; Abandoning malayani in behavior, will and speech; It is stated that the end result is to detach from everything and turn to Allah with complete asceticism. In fact, it is stated that the reality of asceticism means being free from everything other than Allah. The necessity of struggle to prevent the open and secret pleasures of the soul is mentioned. Third Chapter: In this chapter, the subject of choosing the human being for the sake of the divine secret with its communality is discussed. Referring to the 67th verse of the Surah Maryam, the human being is asked to think that he was created when he was nothing: "Does not man think that We created him when he was nothing?" It is stated that man was created with the secret of perfect and perfect calendar and made ready to bear the divine trust, and that he is the caliph of God Almighty on earth. Attention is drawn to the human feature that combines five truths. They are angelic, animal, vegetal, social and social reality characteristics. The work ends with short warnings in two separate sections under the title of admonition and will. Copies: Köprülü Ktp. 1583/4 (İntısah, 1016), 3K 708/2; H.
