Realize that the truth in one is also in the other.
Read existence and your own body as a living Quran.
If you cannot read your own body and existence as a living Quran, then know that the Mushaf-ı Serif is dead.
If you want the Mushaf-ı Serif to come to life, then read yourself and existence.

The entire Universe is a Quran.
Every being is a verse.
Every being presents the truths with the infinite verses in itself, that is, with infinite signs.
Therefore, in the 105th verse of Surah Josepf, it is stated that “Ve keeyyin min ayetin fis semâvâti vel ardi yamurrûne
aleyhâ ve hum anhâ muridûn” “How many signs are there in the heavens and the earth which they pass by and they do not perceive.”
When a verse is mentioned, a person should not immediately think of the writings in the Holy Mushaf.
When a verse is mentioned, as stated in the 105th verse of Surah Josepf, he should think of the signs, evidences, and traces which show the truth in every being.
Human being was created with the ability to read the universe.
He was created with the ability to comprehend existence and the Creator.
Human being should not ignore the intellect, contemplation, choice, consciousness, and judgment given to him.
There are nearly two thousand verses in the Holy Mushaf about reasoning and thinking.
In order to understand existence and the Creator, we must always seek the answers to the questions, “Where did it
come from, how did it come into being, why did it come into being?”
The question of where did it come into being would lead us to the source of existence,
The question of how did it come into being would lead us to the subtleties of creation of existence,
The question of why did it come into being would lead us to the duties, purposes and benefits of existence.
On the path of knowing oneself, human being should be in contemplation at all times.
We have kept running after the troubles of the world, we have forgotten to turn to ourselves and know ourselves.
We have always been in relationships of interest and benefit, we have forgotten to understand our essence.
We have considered ourselves great, we fell into arrogance, we forgot our helplessness.
We have looked down on others, we belittled them, we forgot that they were servants too.
We have considered ourselves greater than all existence, and forgotten what was truly great.

A tree can live without a human, but a human cannot live without trees, without the oxygen provided by trees, without fruit.
Animals can live without a human, but a human cannot live without animals.
Soil, water, air continue their lives without a human, but a human cannot live without soil and water.
The most helpless being created is a human.
But a human can realize existence and the Creator with the mind and consciousness given to him.
As long as a human does not forget his helplessness, as long as a human operates the mind given to him.
As long as people live with decency and morality, and help each other.
Just as all beings help people, trees with their oxygen and fruit.
Animals with their milk, meat, manure.
Soil with all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Water and air serve people at all times.
People should never forget these and live and run to help those around them, and strive with love to find a cure for those who are in trouble.
If we look inside a seed with the most advanced microscope, we cannot see any sprouts, branches, leaves or flowers there.
In order to witness these, we must look at the tree that emerges from the seed and get to know the tree.
A tree emerges from the seed and the tree hides all its originality in a new seed.
In other words, this world continues within a system that comes from its origin and returns to its origin, as stated in

Surah Al-Baqarah, 156, “inna lillahi ve inna ilayhi raciun”.

Here, that power called Allah, which we do not see or know, is actually hidden in the being itself that can be seen.
The 3rd verse of Surah Al-Hadid indicates this truth. “Huvel evvelu ve ahiru vez zāhiru vel batın ve hüve bi kulli şey’in alim”
The meaning: “He is the first and the endless, the apparent and the hidden, and He is the owner of all wisdom in everything”
So, in order to know Allah, we must read the visible existence based on the wisdom in existence, with love, sincerity, loyalty, and submission.
In order to know his own truth, a person must turn to himself and read himself.
When a person reads himself, he will understand his existence from each of his beings, as he understands his own existence.
We cannot deny ourselves and this visible existence, but we cannot prove it either.
However, in order to understand ourselves and this visible existence, when we read and examine ourselves and existence with love, sincerity, loyalty and submission, we can reach the answers to many questions.
We should know that the answers to all the questions we seek are within ourselves.
Those perfect people whom we call Messengers and Prophets have always taught us to “know ourselves”.
They have advised us to understand not a god in the sky, but a power that is closer to us than our jugular vein, that makes us breathe, circulates our blood, works our heart and all the cells of our body and is within us with all its qualities at all times.

In other words, they have advised us to be in accordance with the meaning of the verse of the Quran that begins with “Iqra”.
A Bedouin came to Prophet Muhammad and asked, “Oh Muhammad! What is Allah, where is He, how do I know Him?”
That beautiful person said, “Men aref nefsehu” meaning “Know yourself”
Yes, the main thing is to know yourself.
Here, the Holy Mushaf manifested itself on the path of knowing yourself.
A person should spend every moment in contemplation.
He should know the value of the breath he takes.
He should know that he did not create his body, he did not create any being.
He should know the Creator of himself and every being and live in decency.
A person whose neighbor is in trouble cannot sleep peacefully in his home, divine justice does not allow this.
Just as when even one cell in the human body is disturbed, the whole body feels it, a person should be able to feel it
when one person in the world is in trouble.
If a person can open the channels with the being in his body, he will understand this.
A person closes the divine channels in his/her own body with bad feelings such as ego, anger, rage, conflict, self-interest, lies, arrogance, but does not realize it.

A person should know himself/herself and be on the right path.
With the feelings such as reason, contemplation, consideration, insight, consciousness given to a person, a person can
read himself/herself and the universe, and reach all the secrets.
As long as he/she does not fall into arrogance, does not think evil, and does not harm anyone.
A person will be a human if he/she understands the essence within himself/herself.
A human is a person who has manners.
A human is a person who helps his/her surroundings until his/her last breath, who strives to help those in trouble.
