Imam al-Ghazali – Al-Awafaq (El Afak - Murada Giden Yol: Dualar, Tılsımlar, Büyüler ve Çözümleri) – Esma Yayınları Turkish Edition (1999)
Description:
This Turkish edition of Al-Awafaq, published under the title El Afak - Murada Giden Yol: Dualar, Tılsımlar, Büyüler ve Çözümleri, was released by Esma Yayınları in 1999. The original work is traditionally attributed to Imam al-Ghazali, one of the most influential scholars in Islamic intellectual history, widely known for his contributions to theology, philosophy, and spiritual thought.
The book is positioned within the tradition of Islamic esoteric sciences and focuses on topics such as Havas ilmi, vefk systems, prayer formulations, and spiritual remedies. It reflects the classical belief system in which sacred letters, divine names, and Qur’anic verses are considered to carry hidden metaphysical properties that can influence both the spiritual and material dimensions of life.
Central to the content is the concept of Havas ilmi, an esoteric discipline concerned with the perceived hidden powers of letters, numbers, divine names (Esma-ül Hüsna), and Qur’anic verses. Within this framework, the text explores how these elements are believed to interact with human destiny, intention, and spiritual energy.
Another major component of the book is the system of vefk and ebced calculations. Vefk refers to structured arrangements of letters, verses, or numbers placed into geometric forms such as squares or rectangles, often used as protective or influential talismans. The ebced system assigns numerical values to Arabic letters and is used to construct symbolic formulas believed to have spiritual effects.
The book also addresses traditional explanations and remedies related to negative spiritual influences, including the removal of harmful energies, the treatment of perceived sorcery, and protection from the evil eye. It further includes guidance on resolving worldly difficulties such as livelihood restrictions, emotional distress, and perceived obstacles in fortune, all framed within classical spiritual healing traditions.
Published in both Turkish and Arabic sections, this edition reflects the continued interest in traditional Islamic esoteric literature in the modern period. It serves as a reference work for readers interested in historical mystical practices, symbolic systems, and spiritual interpretations rooted in Islamic cultural heritage.
