This is a dro( of an ocean of $hat Eur Henera.le scholar said
a.out the >S(irit4? Then he added to the introduction to the ori#in of
the >S(irit? sayin#3
>-n a 0ro(hetic sayin#3 the 0ro(het ((eace and .lessin#s of Allah
.e u(on him! God said3 >- $as a hidden treasure then - desired to .e

"escri.in# the meanin# of this holy sayin# - say3 >the treasure? is a

>- created the creatures3? -t means to en8oy $atchin# that Godly

that God has created the creatures in that $orld called >Al-A7al?3 the
(re-e:istent $orld4
>Ac=uainted them $ith Me3? - sho$ed them My Greatness and My
&ene+olence on them in creatin# them4
>They kne$ Me throu#h Me3? &y lookin# at themsel+es they could

$ithout sha(es and .odies4 Man3 animals3 the sky3 the Earth3 the
An#els and %inns (#host like demons!4
That is to say3 all creatures $ere then of one kind and one =uality
$ithout any di5erence amon# them4 All these s(irits en8oyed
$atchin# that treasure and $ere +ery fond of seein# that #reat
Godly &eauty4 (The #reatest (leasure of 0aradise is #a7in# at God4!
The (re+ention of these creatures3 at one de#ree3 of seein# the
di+ine .eauty $ould make them later feel .ored of their status4
To make this clear $e say3 >-f a man sits in a +ery .eautiful3
une=ualled orchard and stays there for a lon# time3 he $ill
undou.tedly #et .ored of it4 And he $ill not see its .eauty any more4
To ha+e this (leasure continued3 he has to mo+e to a more .eautiful
orchard than his4?
The creature cannot soar .y #a7in# at the di+ine from a state to a
hi#her one unless he has done #ood deeds $hich his ,reator is
satis<ed $ith4 Such deeds $ill .e like an ele+ator throu#h $hich he
#ets nearer to God4 Therefore3 God o5ered to all these s(irits an
e:odus from the realm in $hich they ha+e nothin# to do4 -nto a
$orld3 $here their #ood deeds hel( them to come nearer to their
,reator and to seek that #lorious treasure4 -n order to drink
continuously and endlessly from the seas of .eauty and (erfection
of (aradise4
To sho$ the e5ect of deed in the ele+ation of the S(irit and its
nearness from its ,reator3 $e #i+e this e:am(le3 >Bet us ima#ine a

This e:am(le a((lies to the sons $ith their fathers3 the students
$ith their teachers3 the disci(les $ith their #uide and those o.edient
$ith their ,reator4
Ene of the <rm rules of the s(irit is that it cannot a((roach unless
it has a #ood deed u(on $hich it can de(end3 and the #reater the
sacri<ce and #ood deeds are3 the closer its a((roach $ill .e4

This is $hy the Almi#hty God made this $orld an a.ode of deeds
and a (ath to the other $orld4
Dearnin# is the stimulus throu#h $hich taste and ha((iness are
achie+ed4 -t #i+es the act its +alue and $ithout it3 the deed has no
+alue in the doerFs eye4 The more its attraction and desire to the
s(irit3 the more +alua.le the sacri<ce $ill .e3 and the more e5ect it
has on the s(irit4 -f man does not like money or does not yearn for it3
then charity $ill ha+e no meanin#3 and he does not <nd a s(iritual
ele+ation or 7eal for s(endin#4 The similar is the case of a+ertin#
ones #a7e and a.stinence from (erformin# for.idden acts4
God the Almi#hty #a+e us the freedom of choice $hich #i+es the
creature the a.ility to do the deed $ithout o.li#ation; and in fact
any creature cannot a((roach3 one ste(3 throu#h his deed to$ards
his ,reator and does not <nd it $orthy unless such a creature has
freedom of choice4 (This choice is from o(tions #i+en .y the ,reator
as he alone kno$s $hat $e are #oin# to do and $hat $e ha+e
done4!
Eri#inally3 the $ill of the creatures is the (ossession of their
,reator and su.8ect to 6is 0o$er4
Therefore3 they ha+e no +olition or choice4 As God $anted to #i+e
the S(irits the most (recious #ift3 6e sho$ed them the means .y
$hich one can attain this #ift4
6e o5ered to make the $ill3 $hich is his o$n3 a trust $ith the
S(irits and made them free to follo$ the road leadin# to the
achie+ement of the deeds; as a result of their yearnin#4
The #ift of this $ill and freedom of choice is meant .y the $ord
>Trust?4
-n the $orld of Al-A7al3 the (re material $orld3 God o5ered the

the shoulderin# of the Trust; that is to say3 the freedom of choice
to$ards the deeds3 is a +ery dan#erous thin#4 The creature can
ascend3 $ith his $ork3 to the hi#hest rank or his deed could
humiliate him to the lo$est rank4
So3 out of GodFs mercy u(on his creatures 6e clari<ed to them

A o((ortunity occurred $hen one of these scientists met $ith our
#reat scholar3 $ho throu#h his lo+e to God3 e:ceeded all his (eers

6e $as al$ays elucidatin# the Aa+ors of the Almi#hty God3 and
#uidin# the (eo(le to the (ath of ri#ht4 So that they mi#ht rise u( of
their .ein# drunk and a$ake of their slum.er in order to maintain
the su(reme treasures they $ere created for3 and to free themsel+es
from the authority of e#otism; the lo+e of earthly materialism and
the a((reciation of +ices $hich drift them into the +alleys of des(air

)ith the sin#in# of .irds3 and the coherent .rislin# of the lea+es3
the (erfume of the .ree7e of Al Ghouta $as s(readin# an
atmos(here of 8oy and re+erence3 around the com(anions of that
res(ecta.le Master4
The (rocession (roceeds $alkin#3 as the li#hts of the sun in the

seems to him to .e a #reat re+erent scholar4
>Sir3 - .e# your (ardon3 may - ask a =uestion9 - ho(e that my
=uestion $ill not .e em.arrassin#3 if you canNt ans$er it4?
6e .elie+ed that our scholar $onNt .e a.le to ans$er his =uestion4
6e re+eals the reason4
Eur #reat scholar and a num.er of the uni+ersity (rofessors sat at
a cafe4 A famous doctor $anted to ask the =uestion4
That famous doctor had read many medical +olumes3 academic
.ooks and scienti<c researches in hi#hly de+elo(ed and leadin#
countries in the <eld of science .ut could not <nd an ans$er to his
=uestion4 Then he .e#an to .elie+e that God is im(erfect4
-n this life he had not seen a machine $ith an e:tra (iece $hich
has no function4 Thus he .e#an to com(are .et$een the Almi#hty
God3 the ,reator of e+erythin# and the machine in+ented .y man in
the de+elo(ed countries4
)hat made this doctor ask this =uestion in this country9 The
=uestion $as/
>-f God is (erfect3 $hy did 6e create the foreskin $hich co+ers the
ti( of the (enis and ordered us to cut it9 This causes acute
53
dermatitis4 The =uestion relates to the circumcision of the children4
)hy has God created this e:tra skin $hich has no function3 and $hy
has 6e ordered us to cut it9 -f it has a function $hat for is the
circumcision9 -f it has no function $hy did 6e create it9 )here is the
Godly (erfection9?
The =uestion a$akened somethin# in the heart of that +enera.le
scholar as if millions of +olcanoes had .urst at that moment $ith the
smile of the in=uirer4
- donNt kno$ ho$ this situation is to .e elucidated4 -t mi#ht .e a
hurricane of com(assionate an#er mi:ed $ith hidden sadness $ith
tears and (ity4
-n a moment e+ery sense in his .ody $as a.out to utter
somethin# translated .y the ton#ue4
-t is $ell kno$n that the human .ody consists of Gesh3 .ones and
ner+es4 -t is also kno$n that the ner+ous (ersonNs .ody does not
#ro$ $ell healthy3 and he al$ays remains thin3 e+en if he eats such
a lot of food3 and increases the num.er of daily diets4
The em.ryo in the femaleNs $om. remains in a critical sta#e in
the nine months3 .ecause it is in the critical +ital formin# sta#e4
Since the skin of the (enis is a #atherin# (lace of +ery sensiti+e
ner+es3 it is a5ected .y any friction $hich causes a #eneral
alertness of the ner+es in the $hole .ody4 As the (lace of the
em.ryo in the $om. is narro$3 to suit the em.ryoNs si7e3 the
em.ryo is al$ays .ent and turned u( and its mo+ement increases in
the last months4 (See (ictures!
54
55
56
57
This mo+ement e:cites the ner+es of the skin of the (enis3 thus
the #ro$th of the em.ryo is ham(ered .ecause the mo+ements
destroy the cells3 or leads to a $eakness in #ro$th4
So this skin (rotects this sensiti+e area from .ein# a5ected .y
any shock $hich causes friction $hen the em.ryo mo+es in the
$om.3 and .y that the .ody attains its safety and (erfection4
E:actly as a thermos kee(s its contents isolated from the outer
factors4
After the .irth3 he enters a ne$ ty(e of life di5erent from his
(re+ious one4 6e is no$ stretched and there is no friction $ith the
ner+es of the skin of the (enis4
This skin .ecomes e:tra and it should .e cut .ecause it e:ists in a
#landular area $here infection can take (lace and $here dirt and
#erms may #ather under the skin causin# acute dermatitis3 and
infection4

Inconsciously the in=uirin# doctor resumes his =uestions3

)e summari7e $hat $e said/
God created the foreskin $hen the em.ryo $as in the $om. of its
mother .ecause this or#an $hich Almi#hty God has made3 as an e:it
for the urine3 has made it also3 .ecause of its other function
com(osed of a tissue of ner+ous tissue interconnected deli.erately4
Since the end of this or#an $hich is called a skin is +ery sensiti+e4
-f it $as e:(osed to a friction $ith anythin#3 then that friction $ill
lead to a ner+ous stress leadin# to a #eneral stress in the ner+ous
system4 -t is taken for #ranted that this stress and sensation $ill
result in a decrease in #ro$th4 &ecause of that3 it is necessary3 for
the #ro$th of the em.ryo in his motherNs $om. and its
com(leteness3 to ha+e a mem.rane $hich (re+ents the head of that
or#an from $hat mi#ht .e in touch or in friction $ith durin# the
consecuti+e mo+ement of the em.ryo in his motherNs $om.4
Thus #ro$th is natural and the em.ryo is .orn $ith sound health
and .ody4
' ' '
Bet us no$ s(eak a.out circumcision after .irth/
)hen the em.ryo is .orn and his .odyNs systems .e#in to
function and the urinary (assa#e .e#ins to do its task3 there may .e
some mold scratch or (atholo#ical sym(toms3 therefore3 God the
Almi#hty orders circumcision to (rotect the .ody from such trou.les4
Therefore3 the e:istence of the skin is necessary for the em.ryo
$hile it is in its motherNs $om.3 -t denotes the (erfection of creation
and the mar+elous di+ine disci(line4 -tFs cuttin# after .irth and
e:istin# in life is necessary and a mercy from God to man4

After this $e can re(ly stron#ly those $ho say that 0ro(het
Muhammad ((eace and .lessin#s of Allah .e u(on him! $as .orn
circumcised4
-f $e acce(t this3 it means that the 0ro(het su5ered from .ad
