Buhranlı Günler ve Ümit Atlasımız - KIRIK TESTİ 14

by M. Fethullah Gülen

Ümitle uzun yollar aşılır; ümitle kandan irinden deryalar geçilir ve ancak ümitle dirliğe ve düzene erilir. Ümit dünyasında mağlup olanlar, pratikte de yenilmiş sayılırlar. Ne yiğitçe ve çalımla yola çıkanlar vardır ki, iman ve ümit zaafından ötürü yarı yolda kalmışlardır. Küçük bir zelzele, gelip geçici bir fırtına, akıp giden bir sel, onların azim ve iradelerini de beraber alıp götürmüştür.

Bizler topyekün bir millet olarak, dayanıp darılmayan, azmedip yılmayan ve hele ümitsizliğe asla kapılmayan yol göstericilere, ekmek kadar, su kadar, hava kadar ihtiyaç içindeyiz. Hevesle yola çıkıp hevâlarına göre aradıklarını bulamayınca, ya ümitsizliğe düşmüş veya Yaradan’la cedelleşmeye girişmiş olanlara gelince; onlar bizden, biz de onlardan fersah fersah uzak bulunmaktayız. Mâmâfih, feleğin geniş dairedeki çark-ı çemberi, hiçbir zaman, yerdeki bu sefillerin kokmuş felsefelerine ve bozuk hendeselerine göre cereyan etmeyecektir..!

Bin bir ümit tomurcuğunun tebessüm ettiği ve bin bir tohumun toprağın altında kara düşecek cemreyi beklediği şu günlerde, ümitten mahrum gönüllere ümit dileklerimizle...

About the author

Muhammed Fethullah Gülen was a Turkish Muslim scholar, preacher, and leader of the Gülen movement who as of 2016 had millions of followers. Gülen was an influential neo-Ottomanist, Anatolian panethnicist, Islamic poet, writer, social critic, and activist–dissident developing a Nursian theological perspective that embraces democratic modernity. Gülen was a local state imam from 1959 to 1981 and he was a citizen of Turkey until his denaturalization by the Turkish government in 2017. Over the years, Gülen became a centrist political figure in Turkey prior to his being there as a fugitive. From 1999 until his death in 2024, Gülen lived in self-exile in the United States near Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
Gülen said his social criticisms are focused upon individuals' faith and morality and a lesser extent toward political ends, and self described as rejecting an Islamist political philosophy, advocating instead for full participation within professions, society, and political life by religious and secular individuals who profess high moral or ethical principles and who wholly support secular rule, within Muslim-majority countries and elsewhere. Gülen was described in the English-language media as an imam "who promoted a tolerant Islam which emphasises altruism, hard work, and education" and as "one of the world's most important Muslim figures".
In 2003, a number of Gülen movement participants allied with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's right wing Justice and Development Party (AKP), providing the AKP political and sorely-needed administrative support. This political alliance worked together to weaken left-of-center Kemalist factions, but fractured in 2011. Turkish prosecutors accused Gülen of attempts to overthrow the government by allegedly directing politically motivated corruption investigations by Gülen-linked investigators then in the judiciary, who illegally wiretapped the executive office of the Turkish president, and Gülen's alleged instigations of the 2016 coup attempt. Gülen denied the accusations.
A Turkish criminal court issued an arrest warrant for Gülen in 2016, and Turkey demanded his extradition from the United States. U.S. government officials did not believe he was associated with any terrorist activity, and requested evidence to be provided by the Turkish government to substantiate the allegations in the warrant requesting extradition, frequently rejecting Turkish calls for his extradition.
Gülen was wanted as a terrorist leader in Turkey and Pakistan, as well as by the OIC and GCC.

Esasında bir mü’mine imanından dolayı ‘deli’ denilmedikçe, o kişi imanda kemale ermiş sayılmaz.
