We talked to sociologist Prof. Dr. Bedri Gencer about the sociological and societal aspects of Ramadan, which is one of the building blocks of ummah consciousness.
Gencer also underlined how the exploitation system of the West has spread to the sacredness of Muslims and stated that Ramadan is the peak of a divine campaign.
Ramadan, which the Islamic world and Muslims have been waiting for, has come upon us with all its blessings.
Ramadan, which is one of the building blocks of the ummah consciousness, carries a sociological main idea with its social messages and emphasis on the culture of sharing.
In this context, Prof. Dr. Bedri Gencer, who answered our question about the social and social messages of Ramadan, underlined how the system of exploiting the West has spread to the holy of Muslims.
Stating that Ramadan is the peak of a divine campaign, Bedri Gencer made important statements.
OUR PROPHET MOHAMAD SAID "RAMADAN IS THE MONTH OF MY UMMAM"
I think that there is a social message in our Prophet Mohammad's (pbuh) hadith about the three blessed months when he said, "Ramadan is the month of my Ummah". Could you enlighten our readers on this matter, what do you understand from the words of our Prophet?
Throughout history, the blessing-burden, worship-reward ratio, period change according to the prophets and their ummahs. For example, according to their sharia, Noah (A.S.) and his nation were obliged to fast all year except Ramadan and Eid-al-Adha. In accordance with divine mercy, just like a stone rolling from a hill will speed up as it approaches the skirt, time will speed up towards the end of time, lifespan will shorten, and accordingly, the rewards will increase while the deeds that the Ummah is responsible for will decrease. Since this divine campaign reached its peak in the month of Ramadan, our Prophet said, "Ramadan is the month of my ummah." Salat (prayer) is the compact month of worship that includes all prayers and all good deeds in Ramadan.
"RELIGION IS IMPRISONED TO CONSCIOUSNESS"
What is the sociological message of the Ramadan climate?
Diyanet (Muslim) means the expansion of religion (Islam) from the inner to the outer of the human and the community like a single human being. German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies defines modernization as the transition from community to society. Religion, circumcision and circumcision are permanent with the congregation. Therefore, with the transition from neighborhood to city, from community to society, from circumcision to culture, religion gradually lost its social manifestation and was imprisoned in houses and consciences. Here, Ramadan is the month in which, like a flower coming out of the stones, in a year, Islam springs forth from the modern society that suffocates it, resists, and Islam shouts the Truth to the rotten society with burnt azan and Sala's.
“THE MAIN REMEDY FOR DEGENERATE IS TO REMEMBER THE DEATH A LOT”
As seen in recent years, there is a serious show, pomp and waste in the holy month of Ramadan. What would you like to say to the Turkish society against this situation that harms the spiritual climate of Ramadan?
Modern society and culture are the work of Protestantism. The Protestant mentality, on the other hand, is based on the goal of forgetting death and the hereafter for success in this world. All the pop culture of the West that peaks at Disneyland is about making people forget about death. This is the main reason for the corruption you mentioned in us. The main remedy for this corruption in what our Prophet (pbuh) commanded "Remember more often the destroyer of pleasures - death".
"RAMADAN EXPLOITATION OF THE WEST"
Even large international capitalist companies organize various campaigns on the month of Ramadan. We all know the massacres and attacks carried out by the West in Muslim geographies during Ramadan. From this point of view, the West exploits the month of Ramadan in all its aspects. What are your thoughts on this?
The West is a culture of exploitation. The Zionist West gained wealth and power by first exploiting its own people and then others. In this exploit, he always plans to kill several birds with one stone. Capitalism is based on the understanding of "rationality in which the highest profit is aimed at the lowest cost". We can say that the West expects three returns from the Ramadan exploitation. The first is to exploit people's pain and joy, to turn everything into profit. The second is to empty the inside of the month of Ramadan, its meaning. Third, it is to prevent Muslims from evaluating this blessed month properly by distracting their consciousness.
