THE COURT OF REASON

About the Book

We know that about 6,000 Million people in the world live with the objective of attaining peace, tranquillity and self-fulfilment. The countless number of people who lived and died before this also had the same objective. It is also true that the generations that will come after us will also have the same objective. However, it doesn’t seem that the people who are living now and those who have lived before us achieved this objective of attaining peace, tranquillity and self-fulfilment. It is the same kind of peace and self-fulfilment that all of us seek and no one can gainsay this. We also know that none among the great Thinkers, Philosophers and Wise Men have come forward to find a way to self-fulfilment.

About the Author

Sheihul Mufliheen M.S.M Abdullah (Rah), a renowned Sufi Saint was born on 25th July, 1925 in a village called Naipattimunai in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. He settled down in Maruthamunai, an adjacent village where he lived until his demise. He was a Teacher by profession and was engaged in many other vocations during the early part of his life. At the age of 10, he developed a keen interest in the quest for Truth and was awakened to it at the age of 28 and attained the sublime state of God-consciousness at the age of 35. In his endeavor in searching for the Truth he was confronted with what he thought was contradictions in the Quran, tore it into bits and pieces, spat on it and threw it away. Incidentally, he came across a page of a Book written by Swami Vivekananda in the form of a paper used as a wrapper that contained sugar, carried by a child and dropped on the road as a crow pursued and harried her. This page contained the thought provoking words of Swami Vivekananda that all Religions are based on one and the same Principle but interpolated according to the whims and fancies of those out of self-interest. This thought induced him to extensively research the Quran and many other Religious Books and in the end he realized that the Quran was the one and only Religious Book that contained revelations to guide Mankind to attain Peace and Tranquility. He regretted his earlier disregard to the Quran and virtually carried it on his head the rest of his life. From the day he attained the sublime state of Self-realization he began to proclaim the true meaning of Kalimathuth Thayibah “La Ilaha Illallah” - there is nothing (Creation) but Allah (God) through his Religious Discourses. To establish this noble Truth he faced legal battles with Wahhabi elements that refuted and resorted to violence and intimidation. At the end of his arduous journey he became victorious and was actively propagating the message of Truth until his demise in the year 2006. He authored a number of Books and composed 181 Spiritual Songs dedicated to this task.
