Fethullah Gülen Books

The second volume delves deeper into a variety of subjects that will help those who are embarking on the exploration of Islam; wisdom in the message of the Qur'an; ethics and spirituality, the virtues of service in islam, the anticipation of Mahdi and Messiah, etc. Although the questions included in this volume have been selected on the assumption that the reader is already acquanited with the contents of the first volume, an independent reading is still possible.

Essentials of the Islamic Faith is a selection from some of the speeches M. Fethullah Glen has given to large audiences over a life-time of dedicated service. In these speeches, he explains the principal elements of Islamic belief - belief in the existence and Unity of God; in Resurrection and the Day of Judgment; in Divine Scriptures and other familiar themes of Islamic discourse. What is special and unique about the presentation of them in this book is that the author is constantly aware of the encroachment (and the seductive appeal) of cultural attitudes which are hostile not to Islam only but to any religious and contemplative way of life.

M. Fethullah Gulen has a to raise a generation of young people combining intellectual "enlightenment" with pure spirituality, wisdom, and activism. While many people are content to have a similar vision and apply it on the personal level, Gulen has spent the last 40 years of his life realizing this vision on an international level. This short book features many of Gulen's ideas that have guided this extraordinary venture since its inception. They have inspired millions of ordinary people to do what they normally might never consider helping people they do not know for the sole purpose of earning the pleasure of God by helping a fellow human being.

Die Gülen-Bewegung hat in den letzten Jahren an Einfluss gewonnen. Dem Leitsatz „Integration durch Bildung“ folgend werden weltweit Schulen gegründet. Allerdings werfen Kritiker Fethullah Gülen geheime islamistische Absichten vor. Was aber sagt Gülen selbst zu zentralen gesellschaftlichen und religiösen Fragen?

Muhterem Fethullah Gülen Hocaefendinin Dil, Kültür ve Edebiyat Dergisi Yağmur'da yayımlanan başyazılarının bir araya getirildiği Beyan adlı eser, kendi edebiyatımızı oluşturma yolunda önemli yol işaretleri sunuyor. 'Ben'in kabartıldığı, nefsin hırıltılarının edebiyat diye sunulduğu, fanteziler peşinde, ömrü bir günden ötesine geçmeyen sözde eserler ortaya konulduğu bir dönemde Beyan, gerçek edebiyatın ve edebiyat eserinin vasıflarını ortaya koyuyor.Varlığın plânını Rahmeti Sonsuz'un ilmi, mimarîsini de beyanı resmetmiştir. Yaratılışla beyan "âyân-ı sâbite"nin mahremlerden mahrem harîminde ikiz olarak belirmiş, sonra da haricî vücuda yürümüşlerdir. Hazreti Rahman, insanı yaratırken, onun özünü, iç enginliklerini, varlığı, varlığın perde arkasını ifade edebilme kabiliyetini de ona yükleyerek, öylece haricî vücut buuduna çıkarmıştır. Bu itibarla da denebilir ki; kudret kaleminin ucundan yokluğa akan mürekkebin ilk damlası beyan, Yaratıcıyla-yaratılan arasındaki sırlı münasebeti keşfedip ortaya koyan da yine beyandır.
