1. “ In The Name of God is the start of all things good” Presentation: Ahmet YORDAM

2. " Bismillah , In the Name of God, is the start of all things good.

3. We too shall start with it.

4. Know, O my soul! Just as this blessed phrase is a mark of Islam.

5. so too it is constantly recited by all beings through their tongues of disposition.

6. Bismillah is an inexhaustible strength, an unending source of bounty.

7.  And so, my proud soul! You are the traveller.

8. Your journey;

9. … begins from the world of Spirits,

10. ...through the mother womb,

11. ... and the chilhood,

12. ...through the youth,

13. … through the old age,

14. ...to the grave,

15. ...and the intermediate realm to the surrection,

16. ... and passes the bridge of “Sırat” goes to endless.

17. ...at this journey your impotence and poverty have no limit.

18. and your enemies...

19. and your needs are endless.

20. Since it is thus, at this important and dangerous journey,

21. you must take the name of the Pre-Eternal Ruler and Post-Eternal Lord of the Universe .

22. and you must know Him .

23. and be saved from begging before the whole universe,

24. and trembling before every event.

25. Indeed, this phrase is a treasury so blessed that…

26. Your infinite impotence ,

27. and want bind you to an infinite power and mercy ,

28. it makes that impotence and want a most acceptable intercessor,

29. at the Court of One All-Powerful and Compassionate.

30. The person who acts saying, "In the Name of God," resembles someone :

31. who enrolls in the army,

32. He acts in the name of the government;

33. he has fear of no one;.

34. he speaks, performs every matter…

35. and he withstands everything in the name of the law and the name of the government.

36.  At the beginning we said that all beings say, "In the Name of God" through the tongue of disposition. Is that so?

37. Indeed, it is so.

38. If you were to see that a single person had come and had driven all the inhabitants of a town to a place by force and compelled them to work,

39. you would be certain that he had not acted in his own name and through his own power,

40. but that he was a soldier, acting in the name of the government and relying on the power of a king.

41. In the same way, all things act in the name of Almighty God, for minute things like seeds and grains bear huge trees on their heads; they raise loads like mountains. www.yolyordam.com

42. That means all trees say: "In the Name of God,"

43. fill their hands from the treasury of Mercy,

44. … and offer them to us.

45. All gardens say: "In the Name of God,"

46. and become cauldrons from the kitchens of Divine Power,

47. in which are cooked numerous varieties of different foods.

48.  All blessed animals like cows, camels, sheep, and goats, say: "In the Name of God."

49. and become fountains of milk from the abundance of Mercy,

50. … offering us a most delicate and pure food like the water of life in the name of the Provider.

51.  The roots and rootlets, soft as silk, of all plants, trees,

52. … and grasses, say: "In the Name of God,"

53. and pierce and pass through hard rock and earth.

54. Mentioning the name of God, the name of the Most Merciful, everything becomes subjected to them."

55. Indeed, the roots spreading through hard rock and earth…

56. and producing fruits…

57. … as easily as the branches spread through the air,

58. ... and produce fruits underground,

59. and the delicate green leaves retaining their moisture for months in the face of extreme heat, saying :

60. "Even heat and hardness, in which you most trust, are under a command. ”

61. For, like the Staff of Moses, each of those silken rootlets conform to the command of, “ And We said, O Moses, strike the rock with your staff , ” (Bakara-60) and split the rock.

62. ... And the delicate leaves fine as cigarette paper recite the verse,

63. “ O fire! be coolness and peace “

64. against the heat of the fire, each like the members of Abraham (UWP).

65.  Since all things say, "In the Name of God,"

66. and bearing God's bounties in God's name give them to us,

67. ... we too should say, "In the Name of God."

68. We should give in the name of God , and take in the name of God .

69. And we should not take from heedless people who neglect to give in God's name.

70.  Question: We give a price to people, who are like tray-bearers. So what price does God want, Who is the true owner?

71. The Answer: Yes, the price the True Bestower of Bounties wants…

72. … in return for those valuable bounties and goods is three things :

73. one is remembrance, one is thanks, and one is reflection. Saying, "In the Name of God" at the start is remembrance,

74. And perceiving and thinking of those bounties, which are valuable wonders of art, being miracles of power of the Unique and Eternally Besought One and gifts of His mercy, is reflection…

75. and, "All praise be to God" at the end is thanks.

76. However foolish it is to kiss the foot of a lowly man who conveys to you the valuable gift of a king

77. and not to recognize the gift's owner,

78. to praise and love the apparent source of bounties

79. and forget the True Bestower of Bounties is a thousand times more foolish.

80. O my soul! If you do not wish to be foolish in that way, give in God's name, take in God's name,

81. begin in God's name, and act in God's name.“ CRN
