Q - You always talk about the Islamic unity. Describe it to us?

A - I have described it in my work, The Diploma of Two Schools of Calamity1. Now, I will show a stone, an embroidery of that sublime future palace. Here, the Hajar al-Aswad of the splendid Islamic Unity, which is our Kâ’ba of happiness, is Kâ’ba al-Mukarramah; its white pearl is Rawdah al-Mutahhara; its Makkah al-Mukarramah is the Arabic Peninsula; and Medina of its splendid civilisation is the Ottoman State that exercises complete freedom described in the Sharî'ah2.

If you want to see the nationhood of Islam and the stone and embroidery of the Islamic Unity, here, look!

• The brave and heroic colour of red arising from hayâ and a sense of honour,
• the innocent smile born of respect and mercy,
• the agreeableness of rûh emerging from chastity and elegance,
• the samawî joy that emerges from the love arising from youthfulness and eagerness arising from the spring3,
• the pleasure like that of malâikah that comes into existence out of the sorrow arising from sunset and the relief arising from the sunrise,
• the sacred adornment manifested from the manifest ma’nawî beauty. {Note: Each of these consecutive phrases is a sign of one of the rays, beauties, qualities, bonds and fundamentals of Islam.}

All of these are unified, and the luminous colour4 emerged from them, the image of the dark blue emerged from the seven colours5 of the rainbow6 of the splendid high dome of the Kâ’ba of happiness7, which is Qab Qawsayn8 of the East and West. The view of this colour can only be demonstrated to some extent.

However, unity cannot be established on ignorance. Unity is the union of thoughts and ideas, and the union of thoughts and ideas can only be through the rays of the electricity of ma’rifat.
