PART 1: – the “State of nothingness”
The Disappearance in the Path of Non-existence
and the Appearance of the True Existence
[Somuncu Baba]
We get to the state of “nothingness” through “nothing”.
– Somuncu Baba.
The goal of Sufism is to reach the State of Nothingness, “because it is only when one is zero that one will experience the Infinite [Divine].”
Those who prefer the serenity of Sufi life, strive to free themselves from the struggles and complexities of earthly life and to lean on the peaceful chest of Nothingness (“non-existence”).
The greed of the world, the pride of the achieved rank and position, and even the love for property and wealth, which gnaw at the heart of man, appear as the weaknesses of worldly life. All of these are worldly desires, and those who pursue these desires and expectations lack the understanding of the meaning of life.
Worldly people, because they are in constant conflicts and struggles with themselves, within their inner world and with people in the environment they live in, cannot comprehend “non-existence”. The efforts in this wordly life of those who do not enter through ‘the door of Nothingness’ will eventually result in failures and disappointments. Those people would be able to achieve their worldly goals and gains, but at the same time they would lose their humanity.
For, whoever cares about his worldly existence and immerses himself in the notion of ‘self’, separates himself from his Lord and creates duality. On the other hand, those who chose to take refuge in the shadow of “non-existence” will observe the real existence and will find salvation at ‘the door of Nothingness’.
Once the state of Nothingness (non-existence) is achieved, only Allah Almighty remains. That is, ‘the state of Nothingness’ as created by Allah back in the ‘Realm of the Souls’, at a time when the breath was first breathed into human beings. [the time of Qalu Bela, ‘Day of Promises’, in pre-Eternity; Qur’an, Sura al-Araf; 7:172]
The Murid [disciple] aims to be one with Allah by removing his false Nafs (self, ego), by wiping out his entire existence, forgetting everything and giving away all his earthly possessions, wealth, and other kinds of worldly interests. He walks the path as a poor. He purifies his soul and heart from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrogance, and worldliness. In their place, he adorns his heart with spiritual virtues such as generosity, compassion, benevolence, humility, and asceticism.
He who purifies his soul and erases his existence, he practically removes the barrier between himself and Allah, reaches the existence of Allah and becomes one with Allah; he perishes in the Absolute and Only Being, the Beloved.
The Existence can be accessed only through nothingness.. When the Murid [disciple] reaches nothingness and knows himself to be non-existent, he observes that the Existence of Allah surrounds the entire Universe. Just as the darkness disappears when the Sun rises, everything else is null and void in the presence of Allah. As a result of this state, a person contemplates only Allahu Ta’ala in the Realm of existence and feels only His Existence, His Action and His Will. Thus, in this state of Nothingness, the Murid reaches the highest level of existence.
According to Ibn Arabi, the universe is a summary of all the names and attributes of Allah. The source of every beauty and perfection realized in the world is Hakk Subhanahu. And Nothingness is a concept that serves to understand the Absolute Existence. Nothingness is a mirror in which the Absolute Existence manifests Itself.
*** Note: This is only the summary of the large text, about ‘Nothingness’, from the renowned site named “Somuncu Baba”, dedicated to the Sheik. However, the entire text could be accessed on the link below. Only, it is in Turkish.

PART 2: – Hadith:”Die before you die.”
[Al-Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 1211]
How should we understand the hadith, “Die before your death”?
Man understands that he is a helpless, despicable being; that this world is a delusive, transient place; that the Hereafter is so close only after his death. We are truly warned with the hadith that we have to realize this before our deaths so that we can smart up.
Achieving to die before death is particular to distinguished people. What we have to do is trying to be like them as much as possible. The person, who listens to this statement, realizes this world as a guesthouse and treats his body as a trust; does not fill his stomach or his heart with transient things. A person, who acquires this form of life, is death before death indeed.
And the most important of all is one reverts to God, goes back to his Cherisher with his death. However, the ones who die before death revert to God in this world; fulfil their lifetime within the circle of the divine decrees. They take refuge in Gods mercy and again fear His scourge in this world. These fortunate souls revert to God in the Hereafter too, but this revert appear in a way as if it is a reunion with Ones beloved.
Dying before death is a great grace and tranquillity for the soul indeed. As everybody experiences, man fears from thunder, escapes from lightning on earth Once he flies over the clouds while traveling by plane, he finds the sun and breaks free from his fears. And the ones who attain to the secret of dying before death, revert to God as an obedient servant of Gods. They are free from egocentrism, because a death cannot have an ego. The nature cannot attract them, because a death has nothing to do with nature.

The TRANSLATOR’S NOTES – ep. 22
• @ 00:05:07 – The KHUTBA
According to records at the opening of the “Ulu Camii” (the Great Mosque) of Bursa, Sultan Yıldırım Bayezid Khan wanted his son-in-law, Emir Sultan, to deliver the first Khutbah, but Emir Sultan asked for his forgiveness and said that he had seen someone more knowledgeable than him, and that it would not be appropriate for him to deliver this Khutbah while the greatest scholar of the time was there, present among them. After great insistence on the part of Emir Sultan, Somuncu Baba accepted and headed towards Mimber.
Witnessing this, the community was stunned. Is this person with a bright face, who sells delicious bread every day shouting “Believers, Somuns”, actually a great scholar and Sultan of the Hearts?! They began eagerly waiting for the Khutbah that Somuncu Baba would deliver. And it was such a beautiful Khutba that the congregation had never heard such a Khutba from anyone until then.
As Somuncu Baba ascended to the Mimber, he recited various verses as he placed his foot on each step. After the introduction, he opened the Khutbah from the pulpit where he was sitting, saying: “O Muslim congregation! We have heard that some scholars have difficulties in interpreting the Noble Surah al-Fatiha. For this reason we wanted to dedicate this first Khutbah of this beautiful mosque to Tafseer of al-Fatiha.”
And he made 7 different interpretations of Fatiha. From Tafseer to Fiqh, from chemistry to astronomy, from life to the universe, there is no subject or example that he did not give. He spoke wise words.
Everyone, including the Sultan, listened with great attention to the Tafseer of this blessed man. It was something that had never been seen or heard before. People listened with their mouths open. They were stunned, overwhelmed by feelings of wonder and admiration. They commented among themselves: “It turns out that we did not know what a great scholar Somuncu Baba was.” Thousands of people forgot to even breathe and were immersed in this unusual interpretation of the Fatiha. Every word of Somuncu Baba was like a sea of wisdom. And, everyone tried to absorb as much knowledge from this sea of wisdom as his reason, his ability to understand, would allow him.
As the commentaries were flowing from his mouth and his heart, it is rumored that those who said of him: “What does Somuncu Baba know about science” became embarrassed and blushed.
Molla Fenari, who was among the congregation, described that day as follows:
“Somuncu Baba first took care of our difficulties in Surah Fatiha. These seven types of Tafseer are sufficient testimony to his greatness. The whole congregation understood the first interpretation of the Fatiha. His second interpretation was understood by the majority of the congregation. Half of those present understood the third. Few understood the fourth. Hardly anyone understood the fifth. Those who could have understood the sixth were not among us, and only he himself understood the seventh Tafseer.”
After that, Molla Fenari went to Somuncu Baba and said to him: “My Sultan! For many years I wanted to do a Tafseer of Surah Fatiha. But I could not fully penetrate the secret. It seems to me that with this sermon I have reached the secret of the Fatiha. Places that I could not understand before were explained. In the madrasa, we have five thousand coins that we earn in a halal way, in return for our services. If you accept, I want to donate it to you and become your student.”
Somuncu Baba did not accept the money, nor did he accept his discipleship. He said that he would only pray for them, for the City of Bursa. It is reported that Mullah Fanari’s mind was finally opened by this Khutba and he wrote a perfect “Commentary on Fatiha”, known as: “Ayn al-a‘yān — Tafsir of Surah Fatiha”, by Mullah Fanari [one of Fanari’s masterpieces]
• @ 00:13:05 and @ 00:23:11 – Somuncu Baba at all 3 doors of the Mosque
In the first scene, 4 people who came out through different gates of the Mosque were convinced that they each saw Somuncu Baba next to them. And in the second, Emir Sultan says that 3 Somuncu Babas’ entered through three doors, and the fourth one was sitting in the Mosque.
These 2 scenes refer to one of the miracles of Somuncu Baba.
When the prayer ended, a storm broke out in the Mosque. When the congregation realized that Somuncu Baba was a great saint and not a strange bread seller, they all wanted to kiss his hand at the exit of the mosque and receive his Duas. He could not break their hearts, so he stood patiently at the door. So the whole congregation had the honour of kissing the hand of Hazrat. Everyone who came out of the three different doors of the Mosque said: “I have kissed the hand of Somuncu Baba.”
As the congregation, which had begun to disperse, discussed among themselves all that had happened, they all happily added that they had kissed Somuncu Baba’s hand. They suddenly realized that they had each kissed his hand, even though they had all exited through different doors. It turned out that the whole community, waiting separately at the three doors, kissed Somuncu Baba’s hand.
Somuncu Baba, by the permission of Allah Ta’ala, was present at all three doors at the same time and made everyone kiss his hand.
After that day, His Holiness Hamidettin-i Aksarayi left the city and was never seen near Bursa again.
• @ 00:18:50 – “City of Heart” – Yunus Emre’s metaphor
“I entered the city of the heart, plunged into its spring
While watching with love, I found a trace in my soul.” [by Yunus Emre]
“The heart is the throne of Allah, where Allah is aware.
You won’t find happiness in either world, if you break a heart.” [by Yunus Emre]
“City of Heart” – the favourite metaphor of Yunus Emre – the heart as the house of Allah. it is to the heart that Yunus speaks in his poems.
The heart is the place where the belief in Allah resides, the place where Divine love resides, is the Throne of Allah where the Creator, Who is the Ruler and the Sultan of all things, will it sit and it (the heart) should be worthy of Him.
It is the city, the house, the Kaaba, the palace and the castle, but above all it is the Throne. It is the place of a thousand and one springs that flow from there to the depths of the soul. It is through the heart that person reaches Almighty Lord. Therefore, the heart is pure, stable and does not contain any negativity.

• @ 00:33:27 – The Story on Ali (r.a) and Fatima (r.a)
The sick old man lying on the side of the road was Angel Jibril (Gabriel) A.S, the closest of Allah’s angels to Him, the friend of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Prophets before him, the messenger to the messenger, and one of the most magnificent creations of Allah (SWT)
After the event with the pomegranate, Ali (r.a) enquired with the Prophet SAW what actually transpired, Rasulullah SAW replied that the poor man was Angel Jibreel AS, who, in the form of a man, came to check Ali’s iman. After Ali passed the test, Allah sent down the ten pomegranates for the obedience and sacrifice of Ali and his wife for the path of Allah – for Allah rewards tenfold for every good deed performed.
