TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 10 APRIL 2009

[Texts written between square brackets and some punctuation are added for the sake of making the meaning clearer.]

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE

I wandered around in deserts,
I was smeared with sands;
In flowing waters,
I found my personality.
I saw that
I can not count the grains of the sands,
I can not undress the covering of the trees.
I can not have enough of The Beauty that my Rab gave/gives.
HE is The One Who sees, Who looks after His creation.
HE is The One Who lives in human, Who makes earth live.
HE is The Owner of each particle that takes place in the universe,
HE is The Darling of each one whom/that HE created.
[Previous and following verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: Allah created/creates the matter by transforming some of HIS LIGHT into particles [matter]. HIS LIGHT is shadowless, matter is imaginary. Everything that is visible to human eye is HIS LIGHT in the form of matter, in other words is HIM, Darling...]
You, if you know that you are loved,
Whoever he/she may be,
Wherever  he/she may come from,
You should love [him/her]…
Even LOVE is not yours,
IT is Allah’s ingredient.
HE continuously produces LOVE,
HE wishes that the LOVE that HE produces is consumed.

Mevlana said,
If you claim the ownership of one tree,
The tree makes you live, [it] longs for, [it] makes [you] long for.
If you claim the ownership of one human
Day comes, he/she makes [you] wait,
Day comes, he/she makes [you] sweat.
Whatever happens,
Comes together, makes come together at the door of heaven.
The price of being human
Is the award that my Rab presents.

Yunus Emre listened,
He prevented the mistake of human.
He said,
What comes to your mind,
Do not say [it] without thinking.
Do not scold the owner
Of the event that you did not see with your eye.
Keep
Allah’s Being, His ONEness
Always in your mind.

Meryem and Fatima [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Set the tables up.
In order to have taste of mouth,
They mixed the 'helvas.'  [helva=a sweet prepared with sesame oil, various cereals, and syrup or honey]
They said:
Eat sweet, say sweetly,
Be content, say “selam [peace/greeting].”
Human is endowment of human.
Endowment of human
Is the raining of the blessing.
If human gets sulky with human,
He/she lessens his/her own God-given share.
If human stones human, [to throw stone at someone (Turkish idiom)==to get in a sly dig at, make a barbed allusion about (someone)]
He/she excludes his/her own surrounding.
Our hand,
Our heart,
Our tongue
Educate you,
Grind the flours at the mill.
Each human’s giving
Balance one another.
The ones who find the right [correct] one,
Bow before Hak.
Each beautiful event
That comes into being around you,
That comes together in our hearts
Ties days to one another
Can not see the one who cries
Can not find the one who is not close friend.
Days that come
Are to peace
Are to 'race [to be] in the service of Hak.'
That race makes humans come together with one another,
My Rab makes the ones who come together, work.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be, let selam be, let selam be.

Allahu Ekber [Allah is The Greatest], Allahu Ekber, Allahu Ekber.

Lailaheillallah Muhammeden Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped; we wish to YOU and to Your Representative Mohammad.]

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
