In 1582 C.E, when Mughal Emperor Akbar declared his new religion - Din-i ilahi or the 'Religion of God', combining elements of Islam and Hinduism as well as other religions -among the notable Muslim scholars who stood up to preserve the faith of the common people was the great Imam, Ahmed Sirhindi. Given the titles of al-Imam al-Rabbani and Mujadid (Reviver) of the second (hijri) millennium, his life was expended in preserving the sound, orthodox beliefs of Islam as well as upholding the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).\nHis efforts saw Islam not only maintaining its foothold but spreading across the sub-continent, Central Asia and Asia Minor. It is hoped this translation into English from the works of respected Turkish scholar, Osman Nuri Topbas, can be a gentle introduction to the life and letters of this great Imam, whose life has otherwise been relatively overlooked.

Although Islam as a faith may be noted for the degree to which it is practiced, unfortunately usually in our times this practice has lacked the spirit of Islam. The rituals are mechanically performed as if only a kind of social custom while the spirit of Islam has been almost totally lost. This book aims to illuminate the spiritual radiance of Islamic worship and to clothe it in stories of the lives of the prophets and their companions and also in the lives of exemplary Sufis. In particular many references to the poetry of Rumi, Yunus Emre and other Sufis aim to bond the passion of our spiritual practice with its ritual form. The chapters on paying charity and poor-due possess great beauty. The deep analysis they afford of the economic philosophy integral in Islam, abundantly demonstrates their inherent value in our grossly material world.

Islam - Spirit and Form

The greatest fruit of the blessing of faith is to look at creation with the eyes of the Creator and to approach all creatures with love. This elevates the life of a human being to higher levels and causes them to enter a world of forgiveness, mercy and love. One can then spread love and mercy to all creation. Mercy is a fire that is never extinguished in the heart of a Muslim. In this world, it is the distinguishing essence of being human which leads us through the heart to union with our Lord. A believer is always at the forefront of every endeavour that bestows peace to the hearts of others.

The Secret in the Love for God

Ikhlas and Taqwa - Sincerity and Piety

Such a mercy he was that his compassion and beneficence surrounded all humanity, even all creation. Such a mercy he was that he was granted to all souls and minds as a fountain of life, love and wisdom, knowledge and learning adorned with endless blessing. Such a mercy he was that the Qur'an, a guide to the true path, was endowed through him. Such a mercy he was that he became unique among Messengers in that he was the dearest to Allah and was granted with the spiritual night journey to heavens. Such a mercy he was that without him, all worlds would turn into a desolate desert. Such a mercy he was that the origin of creation emerged with his glorious being. All previous Messengers came to know his glorious and blessed being. Such a mercy he was that all beauties bear reflections from him. No flower blossoms without having a piece of his light. None would exist without him.
