Our friends,
The book published under the name of “The Plan of Truth (ISBN 978-605-764-027-7) (The Book of Truth version.2)” in 2019, is the conveyance (tablīgh) of many verses and system information known as “Kitâb al-Mubeen and Qur’an al-Mubeen” in the Qur’an al-Kareem, and of which tawil has not been conveyed until now, for the nafses on the path of submission. The book consists of three main parts.
The introduction chapter includes the information of the keywords located in the Qur’an. These concepts are given as the main method to understand the Qur’an al-Kareem in the right way.
The other chapter was conveyed in the book published under the title “The Book of Truth (ISBN 978-605-323-094-6)” in 2014. And in addition to the detailed information of the programs of the Divine plan operating under the laws of the “Primary Book/ Mother Book” in the earths, it contains tawils of the verses that convey knowledge about many different processes.
The final section presents the curricular content of the submission (purification) program of the Divine Plan, operated under the “Primary Book/ Mother Book” and implemented through six stages in total— four on earth and two in the Araf process.”
This section also includes the tawils of the verses providing detailed explanations on what steps the beings should pass in the earth realms to get purified and to be commissioned in the mission plans, and which missions they are responsible for in those plans.
Each part in the book and the transitional phases in them have a certain system in terms of presenting information. In order to understand what this system is, you need to understand the tawil system and how this can be applied over verses.
Our friends, the Qur’an is composed of 114 surahs1 and 6236 verses/ayahs (sentences)2 that make up these suras. The verses are designed internally in “two distinct structures”3. These are muhkam and mutashābih verses.
The word muhkam means “solid, perfect, reinforced, durable, complete, requiring skill, requiring no gaps, balanced, tightly closed, strong, impermeable, solid, riveted, tight.”
Muhkam verses are riveted verses of which meaning is easily understood at the time the Qur’an was revealed, that meaning is clear, complete and without leaving any spaces so that no different interpretations can be made.
The word mutashābih means “similar, alike, analogue, same, of the same kind, identical, suitable, agreeable, exactly the same, equivalent, similar, similar to each other, likened, symmetrical, homogeneous.”
Mutashabih verses are equally identical parts, which are processed into the Qur’an in a unique format (analog) that form the “big picture” because they are symmetrical and completely equivalent to each other.
The Divine plan has explained the information of two different Books (structure, program) in the Qur’an to the earth plan, by giving details of “Tā-Sin. These are the Mubeen verses of the Qur’an and the Kitāb (Book)”4 and “Alif, lām, rā. These are the Mubeen verses of the Kitāb (Book) and the Qur’an”5, these unity formed by two different verse structures.
The Qur’an al-Mubeen: It is a perfect book of knowledge (wisdom) and law (judgment) that addresses the current “moment”, giving the basic information of the functioning of the current earth plan with examples of the past and the future, and with muhkam verses, also within this system. At the same time, it contains the stages of the path of submission in the Divine books that were revealed earlier than it, as well as the details of all the purification steps that beings need on this path.
Kitâb al-Mubeen: It is the section where the information of the system working on the earth realms is taken from the Primary Book (program) within an analogue program, and given over the mutashābih verses. This detail is conveyed in the revelation as follows: “By the Kitâb-al Mubeen. Surely, We have made it an Arabic Qur’an. Hope you may be able to understand it. And surely, it is in the Primary Book (Mother Book) with Us.”6
The Primary Book: Sent down from the Arsh (Throne) by the Rabb of the Realms, it is the main program on which the knowledge, power and law processes depend. The Qur’an has various chapters from the Primary Book, which has been meticulously preserved. And if we restate, these chapters have been processed into the Holy Qur’an within an analogue program over the mutashābih verses that are coherent, identical and symmetrical with each other. These are verses whose meaning was not clear at the time of revelation or thereafter, yet can be understood when the time is right.
The information held in mutashābih verses has a “twin/dual meaning.”7 And these meanings were given through “symbols and examples.”8
Mutashābih verses are the ones in which the symbolic language is used at a high level and in order to reach the information it contains, the key (analog) information corresponding to that symbolic expression is needed.
Symbolic expressions and twin meanings are the main difference between muhkam verses and mutashābih verses. Because, in order to give a system information and its meaning, the mutashābih verses given in symbolic structure differs from the muhkam verses, which give a historical word that corresponds to any event and information about the event.
The Divine plan has detailed how the tawil mechanism of mutashābih verses functions, in the verse as follows “He is the One who sent down the Book to you. Some of it are Muhkam (straightforward) verses, they are the essence of the Book, and the others are mutashābihs (allegorical). Those who have crookedness in their hearts go after such part of which is mutashābih verses for seeking fitnah and doing for its ta’wil. And no one knows its ta’wil except Allah. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say: “We believed (had īmān) in Him, all of them are from our Rabb”, and they cannot tadhakkur(ركذت). Only the Ulu’l-albāb (can do tadhakkur)”9, with the details that “the tawil of mutashābih verses can only be known by Allah”.
If you interpret the information according to this verse alone, you will conclude that hundreds of “the integrity of mutashābih verses” in the Qur’an cannot be known or learned by any human being, and are simply put in the Book. Yet is the matter truly so or does Almighty Allah have another system that works in this regard?
In order to understand the subject, it is very important to understand the verse “The keys of the unseen (gayb) are with Him, no one knows the unseen except Him. He knows all what is on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge; nor a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything—wet or dry—all of them are in the Kitab al-Mubeen”10, conveying the unseen (al-Ghayb) and how the unseen information is shared with the earth plan.
As you can see, it has been notified that the ghayb can be “known only by Allah”, just as in the tawil of mutashābih verses. The information is given in a common language because the tawil of mutashābih verses is connected with the unseen (al-Ghayb).
Because the word Unseen (al-Ghayb) means “divine/holy secret, lost, hidden, invisible and unknown object, hidden thing, invisible, hidden, invisible world, supernatural, metaphysical”. Therefore, the content and meanings of the mutashabih verses are subject to the word ghayb and to the operation of ghayb in another sense. And the instructions of unseen (al-Ghayb) have been revealed to the earth via these verses.
The divine plan has detailed the process of transferring the information of the unseen (al-Ghayb) in another verse as “Allah is not to inform you of the ghayb. But Allah chooses whomever He wishes from among His rasuls (He informs the unseen (al-Ghayb) to that rasul). So, believe (have īmān) in Allah and His rasuls”11 by adding the details of the information of the “Rasul Program”, which is responsible for the conveyance of the unseen (al-Ghayb).
The purpose of the program was conveyed in the verse as “They are rasuls who are deliverers of good news and warners so that people do not have excuses against Allah after the rasuls”12, providing the information on what purpose the attendants were sent.
Be assured that! When that great day comes, no one will be able to say to his Creator, “You did not share with us the things what we need, You did not remind us of what awaits us, You did not mention the breadth/width and operation of Your reign (system).”
Because the appointed beings, who are the soldiers of Allah’s army, have transmitted—and will continue to transmit until the Day of Resurrection—the ‘true ta’wīl’ of the verses contained within the Divine scriptures, endowed with knowledge of the unseen, to the earthly realm according to the plan, using “clear documents, written pages, and luminous books.”14
The Divine plan reveal general information about this process for those who will be the addressees of the revelation at any moment in the verse as “O sons of Adam! When rasuls from among you come to you, telling/explaining you My verses, then whoever has taqwa and corrects/ameliorates his/her nafs after that, there will be no fear for them. And they will not be grieved.”15 and stated that the rasuls would explain/tell His verses in the samā, in the earth and in His books.
The information on how and by what methods the rasuls, who are in charge of the mechanism of the Ghayb (revelation), conveyed the tawils of the verses, which are among their duties, to the world are explained over Muhammad (as), with the details of “If they deny you, do not be “sad”, whereas the rasuls before you who brought clear documents, written pages and luminous books were also denied.”16
The Divine plan has not left incomplete within the Qur’an any of the detailed information concerning the timing of when the ta’wīl process of the mutashābih verses that are contained in revelation would be conveyed.
The subject was first given over the dialogues of the beings of the period when the Book sent down, with the following details: “Or are they saying that he made it up? Say: “If you are truthful, then call anyone you can besides Allah and bring a surah like it!” No, they denied something that they could not grasp in knowledge (‘Ilm) and of which tawil had not come yet. Those before them denied just like the same. “So look at how the oppressors ended up!”17, and it is reported that both the Qur’an and the revelation information before it, were denied as they could not be understood by some beings. The reason for this is explained as the tawil of those verses has not yet come.
These verses are the mutashābih ones we have just mentioned, described as “He is the One who sent down the Book to you. Some of it are Muhkam (straightforward) verses, they are the essence of the Book, and the others are mutashābihs (allegorical). Those who have crookedness in their hearts go after such part of which is mutashābih verses for seeking fitnah and doing for its ta’wil. And no one knows its ta’wil except Allah. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say: “We believed (had īmān) in Him, all of them are from our Rabb”, and they cannot tadhakkur. Only the Ulu’l-albāb (can do tadhakkur)”18 and have been conveyed within the Kitâb al-Mubeen (clear information of systemic operating laws).
As a matter of fact, for the verses that were not made tawil at the time the Qur’an was revealed, the Divine plan both reflected a projection for the future and gave a covenant (al-‘Ahd).
This information was pointed out in the verses “I am not asking you to pay me for it. And I am not one of those who impose a charge.” That “Qur’an” is only a Dhikr (reminder) to the realms (worlds/peoples). And you will surely learn its news after a while”19, asked Muhammad (as) to utter against the beings who denied him, explaining that the news of the mutashābih verses would be received after a while. The detail of this period is described in another verse as “We will show them Our verses both in the afaqs (horizons) and in their nafses; so that, no doubt, it may become clear to them that it is the truth. Isn’t it enough for your Rabb to be a witness over everything?”20
Afaq word means “horizons, distant countries.”
It is stated that the tawils of the verses will be shown in distant future countries and in the consciousness of beings, which are horizons of the beings. Because “Every news has a decided time/place where it will come true.”21 And everything is conveyed (tablīgh) according to the predetermined destiny plan and time/place, which is explained in the verse “There is nothing whose treasure is not with Us. We do not send it down without an established destiny (measure).”22
The Destiny Plan functions in proportion to the consciousness of the being and his/her development. Because consciousness varies according to two elements (time, place).
For example, the consciousness of a person living in 1800 is not the same as the consciousness of a person living present day. Therefore, “time” is the most fundamental factor affecting the consciousness. The “place” or geographical location where a person lives is another important factor that makes a difference upon the consciousness of people living in the same period. This is a situation that varies not only between Turkey, Canada, or Africa, but even between cities within the same country.
Since the messages are delivered through the messengers, the metaphors and examples used are dependent on the realities of the era in which they were experienced. The level of consciousness determines the boundary of understanding, but the boundary of expression is not the boundary of the information given. As consciousness develops, the meaning of the information deepens.
The concealed meanings of the mutashābih verses of the revelation stay hidden until one reaches the consciousness frequency that can comprehend them. All the knowledge has actually been there since the beginning. Its meaning becomes intelligible only upon the emergence of the time and space in which it can be perceived. As consciousness evolves, infinite Divine knowledge is continually reinterpreted, and the message is apprehended at progressively deeper levels.
The information regarding who will perform this process is once again conveyed through Muhammad (pbuh), in the verse: “The disbelievers say: ‘Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘You are only a warner, and for every people, there is a guide.’”23 informing the earthly plane of “information of guides and their connection with miracles.”
The term “Hādi” means “one who shows the right way, one who guides.”
The Hādīs are guides (appointed individuals) who explain and will explain the Qur’an and the Islamic miracle. The knowledge of the unseen (ghayb) and its corresponding tawils are only conveyed to the earthly plane by the messengers assigned within the mechanism of revelation.
Our friends, after all this information, it is necessary for us to explain the concept of “what tawil is and how it is applied.”
The word tawil originates from the Arabic root awl meaning “to return, to reach, to find its place.”
The ta’wīl of the mutashābih verses consists in conveying their discrete meanings and in establishing their organic interrelations, whereby the Divine message turns back to its core essence, gets to and so attains its essential meaning. Because each mutashābih verse is connected to another. And after the rightful tawil of these connections, the position of the mutashābih verses within the systemic knowledge is revealed. As a result, the system of Almighty Allah and the holistic knowledge of the plans within it, which was shared by the Divine Plan with the earthly plane, are opened to the beings. Those who have deepened in knowledge and the Ulu’l-albāb get the knowledge of the tawil of the verses and undertake reflection.
The Plan of Truth is the written pages that present His systems using the tawil method mentioned in His verses, and with both the mind and the heart, it witnesses the process of “tawil (evidence), perception, reflection, comprehension, and meaning.”
The “First Word” section of the books provides guidance on the fundamental methodology to be followed by readers, specifying that the books are “to be read in the sequence in which they were written.” This is not merely advice, but method to be followed, and sets the reader’s disagreement with his nafs that is impatient, argumentative, rebellious, and selfish.
Unfortunately, it is a very common phenomenon that, driven by a futile and destructive curiosity, beings spoil the beauties before their very eyes and erase their sense of excitement and wonder. Therefore r, reading the sections of the book out of order, according to one’s own preference, will create a burden rather than benefit, as the lack of foundational steps will make it harder for the reader to understand.
What we strive for is the essence of “knowledge” which is the source of truth, justice, equity, love, tolerance, understanding, comprehension, and balance. That should be the focus at the core of all our lives. Therefore, controlling the fanatic curiosity that resides in a person’s weak side is very important both for the life you possess and for the method of reading the book. Because the book was commissioned and written within a system that imparts the knowledge needed by the being, it forms a harmonious integrity both in his own world and in the outer world. It systematically guides the being from fundamental knowledge to higher levels, supervising development and enabling him to bear witness, while its essence permeates the entire text.
To think is the obligation (fard) for the servant…
1 The word Sūrah means “high rank, honor, dignity, highly structured building”.
2 The word Āyah (verse) means “proof, sign, miracle.”
