It is our priority to establish a social structure that creates awareness by training with subjects that will give hope to humanity, training with guests, education with positions. Thus, as a result of correct knowledge, good behavior and useful work, encompassing moves can be made. We must stay away from misbehaviors that will hinder this priority and moves. Ramadan is an important opportunity to warn us against wrong behavior!
 
Developing a Methodology
 
It is necessary to develop a new methodology by confronting the socio-economic realities. Because the wounds caused by wrong behaviors that disrupt the unity of thought, discourse and action are deepening. At the root of the misbehaviors that break the consensus are the viruses of "self, discord, interest". “Criticism, extremism, and suizan” viruses are at the root of the erroneous behaviors that disrupt the unity of discourse. Viruses of "laziness, procrastination, hopelessness" lie at the root of the misbehavior that disrupts unity of action.
 
The viruses of consensus feed on "arrogance." “I can't be without me. Whatever I do, I can get this office. I am more worthy, I do better” and leads people to disaster. From this point of view, obeying the desires of the soul uncontrollably was described as taking the soul as a god, and it was this that destroyed the demon. It is Adam (Alayhi salam) that we should take as an example. Because he; He admitted his mistake and confessed his guilt, regretted what he had done, blamed himself, blamed himself, asked for forgiveness and forgiveness.
 
The Road to Liberation
 
Being arrogant, thinking that there is a superiority in himself and acting only with his mind will lead him astray. Those who were defeated by their arrogance could not get rid of defeat throughout the history of humanity. There are no faultless people, everyone makes mistakes and sins. The people who fear Allah are those who follow this verse:
 
˹They are˺ those who, upon committing an evil deed or wronging themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness and do not knowingly persist in sin—and who forgives sins except Allah? (Ali Imran 135)
 
It is this atmosphere of Ramadan that will bring us the determination, knowledge, patience and dignity we need in terms of reaching unity. Just as the "education of the soul/education of the individual and the management of the society/ummah" is formed in a short time during Ramadan, this occurs outside the month of Ramadan as well, unless they commit wrongful acts. Because the way to salvation is to avoid these mistakes. It is not possible to create unity of opinion, discourse and action without correcting the wrong behaviors.
 
To Do It Totally and Rightly
 
It is not left to our discretion to work for the dominance of goodness in society and the elimination of evils! These studies are not studies in the sense that we can do it if we want to or not. It is a duty that we have to do with all our might. If we don't, we will all suffer together. Since evil cannot be eliminated only with words, it is necessary to establish all social structures, non-governmental organizations that promote goodness and prevent evil, and the media and media that will convey them to the society. In order for these works to be carried out fully and properly, we must first examine the wrong behaviors and the ways to eliminate them, and then answer the question of how to be beneficial to the society. Today, it is possible to make good dominate and prevent evil only in this way.
 
The main purpose is to mature morally, to work with ihsan, to know the wrong behaviors and the ways to eliminate them and to apply them in our lives.
 
Appeal to Mind and Conscience
 
Strengthening the social structure of a society is closely related to the individuals having good morals and the existence of a system in which the right is dominant. In this respect, we should examine the wrong behaviors and the ways to eliminate them, and then look for the answer to the question of how we should be in order to be a useful person for the society. We should cure basic diseases such as arrogance, greed, envy and hypocrisy by making Ramadan an occasion. We must strengthen the elements that will bring awareness to the principles and procedures for the treatment of these basic diseases.
 
The thing to pay attention to is; is to be a good, decent and exemplary person in terms of words, demeanor and style, and to tell these truths in the most beautiful way by appealing to people's minds, logic and conscience, with nice words and sweet language. In these studies, it is necessary to give the right to the work, to put forward the right work in the right direction.
 
During the studies, “make it easy, do not make it difficult; give good news, do not make hate” advice is very important in terms of method and style.
