Ahmed Hulusi
Encyclopedia
Ahmed Hulusi was born on 21 January 1945, in Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, and was named Ahmed by his mother, and Hulusi by his father.
He spent his first 18 years without any prior religious knowledge, believing only in 'a Creator'. As every time Ahmed Hulusi enquired about religion he was told "do not question, just do as you are told" he lived a seemingly 'irreligious' life according to his environment.
Three days after his father's death, on 10 September 1963, unable to decline his mother's wish, he attended Friday prayers, where he felt an immense inspiration and desire to understand the reality of religion. That same day he decided to always keep in a state of ablution and committed to performing the prescribed daily prayers (salat).
He commenced his religious education by studying the eleven volumes of Sahih Bukhari, published by the Turkish Directorate for Religious Affairs, the whole of the al-Kutub al-Sittah, and the most authentic Turkish translation of the Quran by the late Elmalili, one of Turkey's most eminent Quran scholars.
He then spent two years undertaking intense studies of the modern sciences. This exceptionally diligent period of education was then followed by an interval of intensive spiritual diets and retreats, leading him in 1965 to write his first book "Reflections" (Tecelliyat). This book holds an important place for Ahmed Hulusi as it is a conglomeration of his views and theological evaluations at the youthful age of 21.
In 1965 he took a solitary journey, as with all his endeavors, to fulfill his pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj).
His principle has always been "Do not be a blind follower of anyone! In the light of Muhammad SAW's teachings, choose and walk your own path in life independently!"
In 1970, when he was working for the Aksam newspaper of Turkey, he began researching the topic of spirits and the evoking of spirits, and published Turkey's first and only book in this field, "Spirit, Man, Jinn" (Ruh Insan Cin).
After discovering that the phrases in the Quran "smokeless fire" and "fire that inhabits the pores" are actually references made to "radial energy", Ahmed Hulusi began to further his research to decipher the teachings of the Quran in the light of science, and shared his findings in his book "The Mysteries of Man" (Insan ve Sirlari) in 1985.
Continuing to integrate the truths in the Quran with the contemporary sciences, Ahmed Hulusi established his understanding of religion on the foundation of the System and Order denoted by the One named Allah, and committed himself to "reading" the reality disclosed by Muhammad SAW, sharing his findings through his writings and the Internet.
Ahmed Hulusi, who has not only read and studied the aforementioned preeminent collections of Islamic Law, but who has also evaluated the works of many renowned Sufi saints and scholars, synthesizes his findings with scientific truths and presents them as an integrated system of rational reality. Ahmed Hulusi strongly believes that people should be evaluated according to their ideas rather than their personalities, and asserts that Muhammad SAW is the best example of this.
While, simple-minded people spend their lives busying themselves spreading rumors about 'personalities', he claims, developed minds engage with data resulting from ideas and thought processes.
In order to refrain from self-promotion, he has not put his surname on any of the books he has written over the last 40 years. He does not claim to be a guru or a teacher to anybody; on the contrary, he chooses to have very little contact with people despite the large demand and interest he receives.
He was forced to put his photos on his books after a few imposters claimed to be "Ahmed Hulusi," gathering and exploiting large crowds of people in the Anatolia region of Turkey.
Ahmed Hulusi, who always held an authentic press card, has never been occupied in a field of profession other than journalism. He has never been a member of any political, social or religious organization, foundation or establishment of any sort. He has spent his lifetime researching Islamic mysticism, or Sufism, and the modern sciences. He is also the first author to offer all his works, including his entire collection of books, writings, and videoconferences absolutely free, fully downloadable from his Internet site.
All of his views and ideas are offered without any expectation of material gain.
Due to the February 28, 1997, "postmodern coup" in Turkey, Ahmed Hulusi and his wife Cemile moved to London, where they lived for a year, before settling in the USA, where he still resides today.
Ahmed Hulusi who prefers to live a relatively reclusive life in his small town, recommends that people re-evaluate the original teachings of Muhammad SAW and the Quran in the light of science, without depending on an intermediator.
According to Ahmed Hulusi, in respect of the System disclosed by Muhammad SAW, religious "positions" cannot exist. Every individual has the right to, and is obliged to directly interact with the teachings of Allah through Muhammad SAW and shape their lives accordingly.
Ahmed Hulusi claims, the only person one must follow is Muhammad SAW, as everyone else has a consultative role. He believes people are only accountable of the knowledge imparted by Muhammad SAW and the Quran; as all other views are "relative" and non-binding.
Due to this, Ahmed Hulusi does not encourage anyone to become his 'follower'. He advises people that they should question his teachings and do their own research. He says "don't believe me, find and verify the truth for yourself!"

, Imami Ghazali
, and İbrahim Hakkı Erzurumi
, he refuses the idea of a god to worship, saying that there is no god, there is only Allah in the Qur'an
. He stresses understanding the spirit of the Qur'an
and Sunnah
rather than taking them literally.
Hulusi opposes rote memorization, unreasoned use of fatwa
, allegedly Islamic governments based on traditional parochial concepts, and asserts that sharia
, as it is now constituted, has developed beyond and even in opposition to true Islam. Hulusi considers Islam not as an additional religion to earlier ones but as the comprehensive explanation of universal system.
Hulusi also focuses on the human rights expressed in the Quran and on the importance of beneficence in one's behaviour. He opposes using religion for political purposes and objecting to its political agenda. He has said, "The greatest cruelty for humanity is when a personal explanation about a subject, which is not in a hadith
or the Qur'an
, is attempted to be applied as a religious rule!" In his books, he asserts that there is a system in life that everyone is subject to, therefore everyone should understand the universal laws of that system and prepare himself for the afterlife dimension, because there is no death for any human being but the continuation of life with a spiritual body after detachment from the physical body. His main teaching is about learning how to activate the universal powers within, which in fact are manifestations of powers of Allah
who originates everything from within. He also stresses on the fact that original Islam
should be understood rather than peoples' Muslimism
. In his booklet Up to Date Understanding of Islam, he connects Mohammed's teachings with modern science, especially quantum physics, neuroscience and holographic reality and brain.
