 INTRODUCTION
 
My Dear friends…
 
Within a course of time of thirty-five years that passed since my first book written in 1965,I have been sharing with you
the knowledge granted by Allah
,
to the degree that I havebeen able to write out
.
 
As I could see today,
the points of view as well as the ways of understanding that we havefirst discussed earlier 
, have been appearing in almost all groups of people from that of themost conservative approach to the “
RELIGION
” to that with seemingly the most intellectual,although the signature under such views is not mentioned, at all.
 
Let me make it clear once again for those who try to evaluate the “DEEN” with heartfeltconsideration that…
 
If you are accepting the
Deen-i Islam
with genuineness, you should try to leave aside theinterpretations that took form
within the circumstances of the past times
and
try to make anevaluation of the data passed to us from
Hazrat 
Mohammed
aleyhessalaam,
anew under the enlightenment of present conditions and the science of our day
.
 
THERE CANNOT BE A REFORM IN THE
DEEN 
!… Because the DEEN is built on the“eternal
sunnatallah
that is unalterable”.
 
A REFORM IN UNDERSTANDING THE
DEEN 
, however, has already began in our age…
 
Yet,
such a reform
can never be actualized
upon local approaches to the Deen
, thoughvarious vicinities assume so!
 
Approaches to the matter as to “how such and such an issue could be adapted to our day” by some or other councils, are incorrect; and never a reform in understanding the“Deen” can become a reality in that way.
 
For a REFORM to become a reality in understanding the “
Deen
”, it is definitely necessaryto take up the matter from the very beginning and to rebuilt the bases of UNDERSTANDING the “DEEN”.
 
The Deen can either be accepted as an understanding built on the recognition of “a godin sky” and a postman-ambassador type of prophet along with a book of that god’simperial commands; or it can be accepted as an understanding built on “ALLAH”,“RASUL” as explained in the Koran and the “BOOK” that explains the system based on itand every issue is placed into its proper place under such an evaluation.
 
If the “DEEN” is taken based on an acceptance of “a god in sky and his postman-ambassador type of prophet on earth” and so a reform of understanding is tried [to beachieved] upon such an acceptance through seeking local solutions for problems,
 
then we should know it with certainty that the monstrosity which will come out of suchan effort, will never be found worthy of thinking and taking under consideration by anyreasonable person.
 
Without taking the “
SPIRIT of the Koran
” as a basis, all of the approaches brought up for consideration will bring formalistic and unreasonable further approaches beyondcomprehension and logic at the basis of the words and letters of the
imperial commands froma sky-god 
. And this will bring nothing other than supplying the idiots with a support for their claim that “
belief is an acceptance without reasoning 
”
(?!)
 
We should see that…
 
The
Deen-i Islam
has not been communicated to a group of people by a prophet sent by a godwith the purpose of imposing an understanding of a God Manitu or an
ilah
on their tribe inorder to make them straighten up with the fear of a beating!.
 
“Deen-i Islam” is the “DEEN” at the sight of Allah and is the only recipe of liberation for mankind!… It explains the dimensional system of the universe at the degree that itapplies to man!. But it is impossible for the fool to grasp that reality!.
 
On the other hand, even the most intellectual groups in Turkey haven’t yet gotten to a point of taking the “
Deen-i Islam
”
from its basis and of understanding it within the accompanimentof reasoning and logic at all levels under the enlightenment of science
.
 
The “
DEEN
” is therefore never taken up for consideration with a questioning and investigationas to what, why, how; and
inconsiderate acceptances without reasoning are experienced with an “IMITATIVENESS” that if someone known said it, it is true
!.
 
In all of them, the approaches to the issues are
local approaches
and the issue is never takenup from its basis.
 
In just the same way as the blinds feel an elephant by its different organs and give judgmentsabout its body with respect to
by where they have grabbed it 
!
 
Never can an advancement be made with the deception and consolation of “99 percent Muslimcommunity”!. This is nothing other than a self-deception and consolation!.
 
Let us know it with certainty…
 
BELIEF DOES NOT ACCEPT IMITATION (
taqlid 
)!
 
Nobody can be a believer (
mumin
) unless he or she consciously accepts the issues of “faith” (that requires
iman
) with comprehension
. Imitative acceptances will never bring anybenefit in connection with the hereafter. With a understanding of 
god-manitu-ilah
, neither the
Deen-i Islam
has been admitted, nor a “
faith-belief 
” (
iman
) has been experienced.
 
Unless all these points are explained to people in the most clear way, and unless thisfact is recognized, a “reform in understanding the DEEN” can never become a reality.
 
What Muslim communities are in need of, is in fact nothing other than
knowledge
(
ilm
).Muslims need to give up living with the expectation of a “
savior 
”, “
mahdi 
” and ready-made
