DRY LOG by Dr.Munir Derman(K.S)
It was a morning time.
Season is summer.
I am going around a very green forest full of grass
I was reading the Surah-Er- Rahman in a low voice
All of a sudden, it happened to be as if the rain was drizzling.
Grass(herbs) got wet.
Presumably a summer rain.
It was the summer rain called Hallab or Hellabe.
Somehow I could not figure it out.
Because there was no cloud in the sky.
Grass and green trees were being seen
With their liveliness and colours.
But,what is strange, is they were crying now.
They were almost saying this by language...
There was an ayatul kareema(a verse) in Quran- ul- Kareem.
W'an-najmu w'ash-Shajaru Yasjudaan"
NAJM means STAR in Arabic.
It means the jam of Nujum.
However, As Janab-i Allah(J.J) becomes manifest(Zahir, evident) with kasrat(in increase, multitude, abundance) through the language of Quran, NUJUM(Stars) is used as plural form of the term NAJM(Star).
In the language of Quran , Najm means GRASS(Herbs see the glossary below).
This is Jam-i Salim.
What does Jam-i Salim mean?
For instance, if we say flock now, a flock comes to our mind.
It is Müfterid.
When we say grass, we mean grasses, all grasses(Dr.M.Derman is using Turkish language and the term grass in Turkish, can also take es. It is plural in both ways in Turkish.)
And the grass( or herbs) and the trees do prostrate (to Him).
The ayatul kareema(the verse) is clear.
If it said Al najmu wal sajaru yastijaan .
They prostrate too.
There is no doubt that it is physically true, yes.
And is Wal in Arabic.
It was a morning time.
Season is summer.
I am going around a very green forest full of grass
I was reading the Surah-Er- Rahman in a low voice
All of a sudden, it happened to be as if the rain was drizzling.
Grass(herbs) got wet.
Presumably a summer rain.
It was the summer rain called Hallab or Hellabe.
Somehow I could not figure it out.
Because there was no cloud in the sky.
Grass and green trees were being seen
With their liveliness and colours.
But,what is strange, is they were crying now.
They were almost saying this by language...
That is a sound.
But it can not be heard by ear.
What kind of word is this!.
Yes it is.
True word is this.
Do you not believe in that ayat(verse)?
W'an-najmu w'ash-Shajaru Yasjudaan"
And the grass( or herbs) and the trees do prostrate (to Him).
yusabbihu lahu ma fiyssamavati wal'arda. Wa huval''aziyzulhaqeeymu.
All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
But you are not being able to see and hear those.
I asked at the green trees:
Why are you crying? You are happy as well!
We are happy because Allah made it our allotted share(naseeb) from azal that we would be at the state of constant thankfulness(shukur) and supplication(niyaz).!
You have been curious about why we are crying.
Tears dont only come from that eye.
There are such eyes that they are bone-dry.
Tears come from the one who gets his allotted share(naseeb) from the name of Haqq, Er-Raheem.
That is why there is nothing cleaner and more acceptable than tears in the presence of ALLAH.
Because, there is no cheating and lie in tears, as they get strained through the channel of Er-Raheem of Haqq.
It is hidden to know Haqq, truly and without shirk.
We can not say why we are crying.
Ask this to our friend who is lying dessicated on the floor over there they said.
This is a dry and smal tree! Cut before! I said.
Yes that is true!
But There are DEADones that they are forever ALIVE. There are ones who seem to be ALIVE and they are true DEADones.
You go and ask, you will see! they said.
I crouched down beside the log.
Why are they crying my brother that is one of HAQQs creation! I said(to log).
The log: They saw me like this and they are crying in case their end would become like this! it said.
In fact, It seems to be that I am dead and dessicated.
I have not died.
I changed my mould.
I will change to many more moulds ! it said.
I will tell you why they are crying in a while, listen! It said.
Dry log is telling:
Why are the sappy ones are crying!
I crouched down.
Lean on me. I would be happy, if you do! it said.
I leaned on the log.
Once upon a time, they uprooted me by axe when I was sleeping in this green forest!
Uprooted ?
Uprooted!..
Broke my branches.
Stripped my leaves off.
They named me as CHUMP.
They digged out our grandfathers from the earth.
Called themCOAL.
They burned me.
Called my name,FIRE.
In fact, how evil/wrong(Zulm) it is to cutt sappy trees(young green trees,
To throw them in to fire,
To crush the leaves and the flowers.
This is evident with the hadith of Rasulullah.
Allah does not like the wrong-doers(zalimiyn)
Because He Himself is not a wrong-doer(Zaliym), He is merciful(Rahiym) and full of pity(Rauf)!
There are advantages within us for the people but they never know.
Janab-i Haqq brings down the rain from the heaven as a courtesy to us.
It is we who always clean the air getting in your lungs.
HAQQ states our tasbeeh and constant zikr in His words(Kelamullah).
You dont know this..
If you could know our truth,
And see our SAJDAs(prostrations).
You would go crazy!
Despite being like that, we stay mute to all torments.
We do not make any Baddua(cursing or damnation) as well.
They trample us,
Axe us,
Burn us.
We dont even utter any sound.
There is no other creature like us being mute to HAQQ(not complaining to HAQQ or being very obedient and no rebellious to HAQQ) .
They do not know our limitless patience(SABR).
Inspite of us being silent, They hold us in contempt amongst themselves.
They use us in contexts such as
Man like a CHUMP!
Senseless man!
Rough man!
Blunt man!
But those titles belong to their states.
They dont belong to us.
Sometimes we are entering in to people.
That is why they are calling us ADAM.
There you go , they are crying to that strange thing, my friends.
It is the WATER having most influence over HAQQ amongst the creation.
Because Janab-i Haqq created everything from the WATER.
But, He has not stated what he created the WATER from.
He did not teach our language to you so that we would not reveal the secret(SIRR) they said.
But we understand you, whatever language that you talk.
Because we know the language of ALLAH.
In the verse( ayat),yusebbihu lehu ma fiyssamawati wal''ardi
What ever is in the earth(ardh) and heaven(samawat) is doing tanzih and tasbih to Allah.
So their language is that.
The tree said That is why we can understand the language of the one doing tasbeeh to HAQQ, without needing sound and word.
We understand that you are not like every one.
You do not cut a tree.
You do not break a branch.
You do not pluck a flower.
You do not throw anything wet in to fire.
Did you See how we know it?..
Straightened up and
Walked a bit.
I was about to finish reciting Surah Ar-Rahman.
I was reciting it soundly.
I swear by HAQQ(making Kasam to HAQQ) that I had dizzy.
I was going to fall down!
I saw the trees there doing SAJDA , towards the KIBLAH.
This is not a dream to me.
You can call this a dream.
But I saw it, and again I swear by ALLAH that I saw it!
I am not a Valiullah!
I kiss the sole of a Valiullah!
But, I am a slave(servant, abd) too.
(ALLAH) made it my allotted share(Naseeb) and I saw it!
I am not claiming any thing!
But that was what I saw.
Alhamdulillah.
Allah knows best!
I swear that you can see the tree prostrating(doing sajda)to Allah.
If we are able to see eachother doing SAJDA , we can see the trees one too...
VERSES(AYATS):
وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
Wan-najmu wash shajaru yasjudaan: And the herbs and the trees both (alike) bow in adoration. ( Rahman 55/6)
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
"Huvallahul haliqul bariyulmusawwiyru lehum''asma ulhusna yusabbihu lehu ma fiyssamawati vel''ard. Va huval''aziyzulhaqiymu: He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (Haşr 59/24)
Janab-i HAQQ created every thing from WATER:
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِن مَّاء فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاء إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
WaAllahu khalaqa kulla dabbatin min main faminhum man yamshee AAala batnihi waminhum man yamshee AAala rijlayni waminhum man yamshee AAala arbaAAin yakhluqu Allahu ma yashao inna Allaha AAala kulli shayin qadeerun: And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills; for verily Allah has power over all things. (Nur 24/45)

GLOSSARY:
Nujum: (Najm. )Stars.
Grass: ÇEMEN in Turkish language. ÇEMEN is an area covered with green short plants, herbs and grass. Green area where trees are. Type of a plant used to cover pastrami(spicy meat e.g salami).
Tanzih and Tasbeeh: Tanzih is a religious concept meaning transcendence . In islam, two opposite terms are attributed to ALLAH: tanzih and tashbih. The latter means 'nearness, closeness, accessibility'.
However, the fuller meaning of tanzih is 'declaring incomparibility', i.e. affirming Allah's transcendent distance from humanity.
The literal meaning of the word is "to declare something pure and free of something else". This definition affirms that Allah cannot be likened to anything: "Nothing is like Him." (Sura 42:11) and reinforces the fundamental, underlying Islamic belief in tawhid.
Tanzih is to declare that Janab-i HAQQ is far away from any defect, guilt or partner(sharik) Kabahati yok olduğu anlaşılmak ve onu ifade etmek.
Tasbih is to say Subhanallah.
Subhanallah ( سبحان الله) is an Arabic phrase often translated as "Glorious is Allah."
Said Mohammed bin AbeeBakr Abdulqader al-Razee, in his book "Mukhtar al-Sihah" one of the classic Arabic-wordbooks:
The meaning of subhanallah is, making Allah pure, and it is bound to its original word (sabh, meaning void) as if he said, I verily absolve Allah from all evil.
The origin for the word is sabh, voidness, or tasbeeh, making something void. So the direct literal meaning of the phrase is Allah is void... And there is a part that is unpronounced which is "void of all evil". And this is the way that it is used in the Quran. For example it says; "Subhanallah amma yasiffon - Void/Free is Allah from that (evil) which they ascribe (to Him)" and "Subhanalla amma yoshrikoon - Free is Allah from those polytheistic deeds that they do."
