Notes
An Arabic treatise of 7-8 pages in which Hüdâyî explains the levels of seyr u suluk. According to the author, the purpose of the existence of two worlds and the emergence of humans and jinn is to know the truths. The most fundamental truth here is servitude. As a matter of fact, according to a narration from Ibn Abbas, he explained the concept of servitude and worship in the verse "I created the jinn and humans so that they could serve and worship Me" as knowledge. Hüdâyî then divides the devotees into three groups: common people, havas/elite and ahass/most distinguished: The common people's suluk follow patterns such as prayer, fasting and zakat; It states that it is carried out through outward and physical deeds and that those who belong to this group are among the righteous. He declares that the sulûk of Hawass is through heart-based deeds such as purification and tajallî, and that these are included in the group of abrâr saints. He explains that the suluk of Ahassin is realized through secret and spiritual deeds, such as running to God with love and flying with attraction. He states that these are also called shâtir siddiq. Then, he states that the essence of every rank and perfection, and the basis of every position and state, is repentance with faithful intention and turning to Allah, the Almighty. The beginning of repentance is abandoning malayani in words, deeds and will. Such repentance is completed with regret and moving away from sin. The final point of repentance is to cease from sin with complete asceticism. The truth of asceticism is to take the evil eye of the people except for a sheikh who will help you in your suluk. For this, struggle is absolutely necessary. Struggle means keeping the soul away from open and secret pleasures until the purification of the soul and the purification of the heart are completed. In the work, it is seen that concepts such as soul, secret, nature, degrees of soul, and the meanings of dhikr starting with la ilahe illallah and la matlube illallah and la present illallah are explained. There are two copies of the work: I.U. Ktp. MONTH. 2957/3 (107-115 vr.); It is in Hacı Selim Ağa Hüdâyî 274 (2-12 vr.).
