Gnosticism pays attention to the recognition of the Almighty God and approaching God having divine intention based on the Islamic term. According to Avicenna, the gnostic person is the one who prevents him/her essence to pay attention to others and pays attention to the holy world to be exposed to the right light.
During his/her lifetime, human being is searching for the lord to whom he/she devotes his/her affection due to his/her God-seeking temperament. So, the gnostic experience has generally happened in all heavenly religions, but in specialized and limited area, we encounter various branches in Gnosticism including self-Gnosticism, universal Gnosticism, divine and non-divine Gnosticism, unity with God, behavioral Gnosticism, recruiting Gnosticism and etc.
The heavenly religions have their own special Gnosticism and behavior in addition to the general experience of Gnosticism, such as the claimed Jewish Gnosticism called Cabala. Primarily, it has been debated over this issue whether Cabala is Gnosticism or not. To Sum up, Cabala is considered as a Jewish Sufism which resembles the behavioral Gnosticism more aiming entering the quality of the best person in its kind in personal life. while, this claim isn’t right, in fact. Cabala is quite irreligious and laic. On the other side, Cabala is the practical full-scale method of Satan for which Sufism is a tool.
Cabala is originated from Hebrew word قَبِلَ which means accepting and devoting.
For the first time, this word got common in nearly 11th century A.D. among the Jewish people in Spain and Southern France and then after two centuries, the first Cabela written works based on the gnostic interpretation of five Jewish books were created.
According to the Jewish people, Cabala is the peak of Jewish sciences and sometime believing in Cabala makes its dominance be like an influential Gnosticism which is sometimes attractive and sometimes destructive. This form of Cabala which is originated from previous beliefs of its heads is confirming a hidden movement which brings about dreadful and dangerous consequences for humane society.
Although cabala has become famous for one thousand years and has been posed as Gnosticism, but the Cabalist Jewish people are claiming for the existence of this thought since the beginning of the history of the emergence of human beings kept in the hearts of Jewish dignitaries![1] Although this thought goes back the years before 11th century A.D. but this interpretation is false.
When the monotheist offspring of Israel entered into Egypt after their bother the Excellency Josef (P.H.) and advanced among witch pagans, Sorcery was widespread among the pagans.
According to the verses of the holy Quran, during the prophetic mission of the Excellency Moses (P.H.) over the offspring of Israel, they were monotheist. Consequently, the offspring of Israel kept their monotheism among the Egyptian pagans, but they gradually turned to paganism influenced by Egypt atmosphere to such an extent that at the time of the Excellency Moses (P.H.) absence for 40 days, they turned to worshiping Somers calf.
The description of Somers calf indicates that the calf has in fact been inferred as Hater and office, the famous Egyptian gods.[2]
However, another factor proving the offspring of Israel being influenced by the Egyptian priests is the thought provoking similarity between the Sufism originated from Judaism that is Cabala and the system of Egyptian priests both of which are secret, hidden and internal based on Sorcery.
This issue can be found explaining creation by Cabala which is quite different from what is written in the old Testament and is related more with the materialistic definitions and interpretations of the ancient time. Murat Ozjen, the Turkish masonry says in this regard:” It is clear that Cabala has been created years before the old Testament. The most important part of Cabala is a theory about the genesis of the world. This theory is quite different from the creation story of monotheistic religions… Consequently, Cabala is far from the Jewish religion and is more related to the secret and ancient eastern ones.
As a matter of fact, accepting the sorcery beliefs of the ancient Egypt ignored the orders of the old Testament which had clearly prevented them make magic.
For a long time later, the offspring of Israel tried to preserve their original religion, but after the Excellency Solomon (P.H.) and the events happened during his prophethood period of time (nearly 1000 years before the birthday of Jesus Christ (P.H.)), the religion of the Excellency Moses (P.H.) turned into a political deviation, so nearly the birthday of Jesus Christ (P.H.), the organization of Judaism turned to infighters of the offspring of Israel out of the dominance of the faithful. The infighters were of Juda tribe. A group of people stood against the Excellency Jesus Christ (P.H.) when he emerged; although the emergence of Jesus Christ(P.H.) had been announced in the old Testament.
The Jewish religion mixed with sorcery and Satanism of the ancient Egypt more than any other thought and belief. Judaism was deviated from the original course and the religion of the Excellency Moses (P.H.) due to being mixed with atheistic concepts of Mithraism, Gnosticism, Hellenization, paganism, Satanism and etc. Thus; after the birthday of Jesus Christ (P.H.), people were afflicted by materialism and the expansion of gnostic topics were prevented to such an extent that material tendencies such as measuring divine palaces and the measures of divine stature were appeared in some deviant gnostic books of Judaism.[3]
Crusades and the Jewish people’s failure and worldly Christians by Muslims caused them to misuse the European people in the course of material and anti-Islamic aims and to attack Islam severely. They used Jewish Sufism to achieve their goals. They wrote a book called” Zohar”[4] in 1286 A.D. to pose Cabala seriously. It was expanded from the south of Europe to the north of it. The role of Netherland and Protestant and Puritans (The Christians who were really close to Judaism) was very remarkable than any other countries; so that since 15th century on various Cabala epistles were published in Netherland and across Europe.
It can be said that Cabalist Jewish people hated Muslims too much. The following are the reasons:
- Jewish people’s enmity against Crusades
- Racism of this tribe
- The greedy look of the Jewish and Cabalists towards the strategic land of Palestine and the Middle East lands originated from the old Testament.
During the contemporary periods of time in America and the usurp regime of Zionism, great centers for the Jewish Sufism which is turning to Zionism have been established which are bury preaching the materialistic and anti-Islamic Jewish aims which are turning to Zionistic and Jewish aims; although Judaism is a closed religion and doesn’t let non -Israelis enter into this religion, but it has preached its mundane aims through Jewish philosophers, socialists, psychologists and economists during the recent four centuries.
Nowadays, Cabala is uniquely advancing the world. To educate this Sufism, a university has been established in the occupied lands and it is worthy to be noted that nearly 30 percent of its members are kids. In addition to this center, other educational ones are busy educating Cabala formally that are as follows: educational center in Haifa, Ra’anana, Beer Sheva and Tiberias.
Totally, there are 12 active centers which are educating Cabala across the world including: New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Paris, Toronto, Sao Paulo.
In addition to official universities which are educating Cabala, the cults which have been originated by this thought such as Philip Berg Cabala have played a key role in theoretical deviant and idolatrous rudiments of Cabala.
