Becoming increasingly a more well-known figure in the world, the number of social scientists and academics studying Fethullah Gülen's thoughts on diverse issues centred on Islam is rapidly growing. This volume presents Gülen's world-view in separate essays written as lead articles for a literary magazine, Yagmur, published in Turkish. Gülen's approach to "speech", his definition of poetry, history, and beauty are eloquently articulated in this book the content of which is deeply embroidered around the lacework of Islam.
Known by his simple and austere lifestyle, Fethullah Gülen, affectionately called Hodjaefendi, is a scholar of extraordinary proportions. This man for all seasons was born in Erzurum, eastern Turkey, in 1941. Upon graduation from a private divinity school in Erzurum, he obtained his license and began to preach and teach about the importance of understanding and tolerance. His social reform efforts have made him one of Turkey's most well-known and respected public figures during the 1960s. Gülen has spent his adult life voicing the cries and laments, as well as the beliefs and aspirations, of Muslims in particular and of humanity in general. He bears his own sorrows, but those of others crush him. He feels each blow delivered at humanity to be delivered first at his own heart. He feels himself so deeply and inwardly connected to creation that once he said: "Whenever I see a leaf fall from its branch in autumn, I feel as much pain as if my arm had been amputated.
