*****************
SAINTISM (SAINT-WORSHIPPING) OR THE BLACK WIDOW OBSESSION
We are among those who believe that underneath this celestial dome, there live great-souled, saintly people who exist in communion with their Lord.
Not only that, we are also among those who have been blessed with the felicity of being together with such people, and who have found a place in their hearts.
This is precisely one of the reasons behind our persistent, meticulous insistence on distinguishing between the ‘allies of God - أولياء الله’ (awliya Allah) and the ‘allies of Satan - أولياء الشيطان’ (awliya al-Shaytan).
For it is no easy task to make those who have known the genuine version of a commodity accept its counterfeit.
Our words, and most especially our criticisms, must be evaluated without forgetting this truth.
For nearly half a century, there have been thrust before us short-sighted role modelswho have failed to live not just with their Lord or their hearts, but even with their own egos (nafs); individuals who mistook living with Satan for a grand skill.
Clothed in the garments of those who live with their Lord, they lived with Satan, and made it their duty to make people live this life in the exact direction that Satan desired.
These are precisely what the Qur'an refers to as the 'allies of Satan.'
Sultan Walad (d. 712/1312), the son and successor of Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi, views them as 'DEVILS IN THE GUISE OF Prophet IDRIS.'
According to Sultan Walad, if a man, under the claim of being a ‘MAN OF GOD,’ is in pursuit of acquiring wealth, property, self-interest, and power, he must be called a ‘DEVIL IN THE FORM OF Prophet IDRIS.’ (Sultan Walad, Maarif, 334)
Therefore, THOSE WHO DECEIVE BY USING GOD—especially those who are the allies of Satan—are DEVILS IN THE GUISE OF Prophet IDRIS.
The masses WHO ARE DECEIVED BY USING GOD are groaning under the oppression of these very DEVILS CLOTHED IN THE GARB OF Prophet IDRIS.
Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 41, declares that those who are deceived by using God by 'taking allies besides God'—that is, those who are obsessed with the allies of Satan—will be confronted with a horrific betrayal:
"The parable of those who take allies besides God is that of the female spider (The Black Widow) who builds a house; and surely the flimsiest/weakest of houses is the house of the female spider (The Black Widow), if they only knew!"
In this verse, those who take the allies of Satan as friends and supporters are likened to those who take shelter in the FEMALE SPIDER, known as the BLACK WIDOW SPIDER.
One of the typical characteristics of this black widow spider is this: she poisons and kills the male spider right after mating—the very male she invited with great desire and attractive allure.
The realm of the CATHOLIC INQUISITION-CLERGY, which put its signature on some of the greatest atrocities in history, is precisely such a realm of BLACK WIDOWS (FEMALE SPIDERS).
The purpose of Verse 41 of Al-Ankabut, which draws attention to the betrayal of the black widow, was conceived by TRADITIONALIST QUR'AN COMMENTATORSmerely as demonstrating the weakness of the spider's web, and they contented themselves with this interpretation alone.
However, the message the verse intends to convey is not solely this.
In this verse, rather than the weakness of the house, attention is drawn to the treachery (kahpelik) of the HOUSE OWNER (meaning the BLACK WIDOW Spider).
The black widow is a very different kind of venomous creature: as soon as mating ends, she poisons and slaughters the male spider with whom she mated.
What is at stake here is the treachery of one who betrays someone who trusted them, became their guest, and served them to find pleasure and delight.
This divine evidence (bayyina / divine document, text) in the Qur'an warns human beings against this very treachery.
Does it issue this warning merely and solely so that we stay away from spiders...?
Certainly not!
The Qur'an issues this warning so that we stay away from the BLACK WIDOWS OF DECEPTION THROUGH GOD, whom it likens to the black widow and refers to as the 'allies of Satan.'
The verses containing the term 'awliya' (allies/saints), used to denote alternative deities, contain truly chilling messages.
What is actually meant by these 'ALLIES OF SHIRK (POLYTHEISM) AND SATAN'?
In dozens of places, the Qur'an has provided the knowledge that allows us to recognize them.
Because the allies of Satan know this, they fiercely oppose the reading of the Qur'an’s Turkish translation (meaning in the MOTHER TONGUE) by the public.
THE ALLIES OF SATAN is the name of one of the most prominent groups among the category of shuraka (THOSE ASSOCIATED AS PARTNERS WITH GOD)—those made intermediaries between God and the servant, assumed to assist in drawing closer to God (Zumar, 3), and claimed to be intercessors before God (Yunus, 18).
In the colloquial language of the public, they are given various other names as well.
The actual truth that must be known and NEVER MISSED is the fact that they conduct a brokerage activity between God and the servant.
The essence of this activity is as follows:
In order to be a servant to God, and especially to be a good servant, you are forced to give something, in one way or another, more or less, to these extortionist booth-owners and obtain approval from them.
This affliction, which the Qur'an brings to the agenda as one of the most agonizing calamities in hundreds of verses to warn and protect humanity against, is one of the fundamental manifestations of the injustice of shirk (polytheism), which God will punish with His most unappeasable wrath.
The Qur'an cleansed this affliction from the organism of humanity.
Yet, unfortunately, THE RELIGIONIST DECEIVERS THROUGH GOD brought it right back into the lives of Muslims under the label of a 'SAVIOR.'
The characteristics, symptoms, attitude, and style of this ENEMY OF THE TRUTH 'AWLIYA' are demonstrated in hundreds of verses in the Qur'an.
Now, keeping all these verses in mind, let us show WHICH DEFECTS ARE CARRIED AND DISPLAYED by those who must be considered as BLACK WIDOW SAINTS (AWLIYA):
- Those who pull religion outside the boundaries of the Qur'an,
- Those who invent prohibitions (haram) and permissible things (halal) from outside the Qur'an,
- Those who accept books outside the Qur'an that are deemed beyond criticism and irreproachable (ZUBUR),
- Those who accept individuals other than Prophet Muhammad as beyond criticism,
- Those who view or present themselves or certain individuals as intermediaries drawing people closer to God or as intercessors (Zumar, 3; Yunus, 18),
- Those who carry out the work of proclaiming the Islamic faith with a gang mentality, through DEVILISH and YAZID-LIKE policies such as violence, threats, oppression, deception, lies, craftiness, and hypocrisy,
- Those who continuously amass worldly gains under the guise of 'gifts' or under labels such as 'service to religion, jihad, spirituality, conservatism, raising a spiritual generation,' etc., from the people they approach or invite in the name of God and religion,
- Those who, in their struggles of proclamation and thought, defame anyone outside themselves with accusations like 'disbeliever (kafir), heretic (zindiq), transgressor (fasiq), reformist, enemy of the Sunnah...', which have been used by all exploiters of religion throughout history,
- Those who continuously tell lies, slander, sling mud, insult, steal and plunder, and assault honor and chastity through the idolatrous logic of "the end justifies the means,"
- Those who, under the name of Sunnah, continuously turn ARAB-UMAYYAD CUSTOMS into religion and pump them into society,
- Those who display acceptances and attitudes aimed at removing Prophet Muhammad from his position as the messenger of God and dragging him toward the point of being a partner to God,
- Those who turn the Prophet from being a model of 'takhalluq' (emulating his morality) into a model of 'tashakkul' (taking his outward form as the basis),
- In this context, those who put forward the following inhumane claims: "Worship can only be done in Arabic, prayer cannot be performed with the translation of the Qur'an, the Qur'an cannot be read without ablution (wudu), with an uncovered head, without kneeling, during menstruation, or during post-natal bleeding; reading the Turkish translation of the Qur'an does not count as a complete recitation (khatim)..."
- Those who cast aside the Qur'anic command (Baqarah, 104) that prevents the public from becoming a herd (RAIYYAH / BEING TURNED INTO / BECOMING A HERD OF ANIMALS) by presenting the institution of the CALIPHATE (KHILAFAH)—which is perceived as a PROXY FOR GOD AND THE PROPHET and has virtually been transformed into a polytheistic political institution—as if it were a requirement of the religion.
There is only one thing that the allies of Satan use to cover up all these un-Qur'anic aberrations:
To exploit the ignorance and emotionality of the public to the VERY BOTTOM.
The fact that the definition of the evil awliya, in the sense of alternative deities, is not explicitly given is also a miracle of the Qur'an.
What need is there to give the definition of the chaos of shirk (polytheism)!
Nothing can be achieved by defining darkness.
The actual necessity is TO DEFINE THE LIGHT.
Because light is one and unique.
The black widows HAVE DISGRACED BEFORE HISTORY the people whose labor, bread, love, reputation—in short, everything—they exploited and used like slaves.
The fundamental reason why the Muslim masses have fallen from their pioneering role in the caravan of humanity down to the status of waste/garbage collectorsis precisely the shirk (polytheist) mindset of these black widows who contaminate the principles of the Qur'an’s TAWHID (MONOTHEISM) and TAWHID FAITH.
