BOOKSTORE In 1956, Hüseyin Hilmi Işık 'rahmatullahi 'aleyh' published his book "Seâdet-i Ebediyye". In 1956, he published his book "Seâdet-i Ebediyye" with the encouragement of those who had read it. This, too, was printed in 1957. These two books aroused such an interest and attraction in the pure youth towards Islam that they were inundated with questions. In order to answer these various questions, he translated from authoritative books, added explanations and additions, and published the third part in 1960. He brought these three books together in 1963 and named them "The Complete Ilmihâl". In 1966, Hüseyin Hilmi Işık 'rahmatullahi 'alaihis-salâm' founded the Işık Bookstore in order to print and distribute his book "Seâdet-i Ebediyye" easily and later changed its name and opened the Hakîkat Bookstore. In order to be able to print and distribute his book "Seâdet-i Ebediyye" easily, he established Işık Kitâbevi and later changed its name and opened Hakîkat Kitâbevi. The book was translated into English and published in six volumes by Hakîkat Kitâbevi under the title "Endless Bliss". In the following years, new editions of the book "Seâdet-i Ebediyye" and other books written by Hüseyin Hilmi Işık "rahmetullahi aleyh" in Arabic, Persian and Turkish were translated into tens of different languages and continued to be published by our bookstore. Hüseyin Hilmi Işık "rahmetullahi aleyh" has translated and compiled from the most valuable books, and has pioneered the spread of this belief by explaining the belief of Ahl-i Sunnah wal Jamâ'at in a plain language. He introduced the true Islam to people all over the world and spread hundreds of Arabic and Persian works, which were approved and praised by the scholars of the Ahl al-Sunnah, all over the world through Hakîkat Kitâbevi. In his Seâdet-i Ebediyye and other books, he revived forgotten sciences by writing thousands of issues. He wrote at length about the fard, wâjib, sunnah and even mustahabs, always keeping in mind the hadîth-i-sherîf, "Whoever revives one of my sunnahs when my Ummah is corrupted will be given the reward of a hundred martyrs." He used to say that all these services were performed with the blessings of Seyyid Abdülhakîm-i Arvâsî's savings and patronage and with the blessings of his extreme love and respect for Islamic scholars. He would not refrain from writing the truth in his books, and he would say, "Allâhu ta'âlâ is the only one to be feared," but he would be very careful not to cause mischief. He was very meticulous in obeying the laws of the state. He used to say, "A Muslim obeys religion and does not commit sin; he obeys laws and does not commit crime". He would often recite the hadith-i-sherîf "Love for the homeland is faith". Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
