We are passing through a difficult time by giving a very bad test. Whatever bad and negative situations we experienced yesterday, that we would be upset about, angry, react, and struggle to eliminate, we experience them all in the most intense way. But we don't react, we don't get angry, we don't fight. We just get used to it, we become familiar with all kinds of negative situations for the sake of not giving up our conformist lives...
 
Since Israel turned Gaza into an open-air prison with the wall of shame that it started to build in 2002, we have been witnessing the bloody attacks against Gaza continuously until today. While Israel is becoming more and more monstrous with each passing day, with the recklessness of not seeing any reaction other than the silence of the ummah and their empty condemnations, it seems as if we as the ummah are accustomed to sacrificing dozens of women and children in every attack.
 
It's as if the bloody attacks of the bloody terror network have become normal. While seeing normalization with Israel and signing an official document accepting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel with the Mavi Marmara agreement as normal in the context of state interests, on the other hand, making fancy sentences about Gaza and Jerusalem on social media has become enough to ease our conscience. It seems as if the peace of mind is enough for us to curse Israel and say one or two curse words from where we sit without the slightest change in our comfort. While a 7-8 year old girl screams at the hospital where she was taken out of the rubble created by the Israeli missile that hit their house, "Israel cannot be a state, they are child killers, their place is under my feet", in our comfortable life, she cannot think about aspire to the same heaven as her, without demonstrating one percent of faith. we have become
 
On the other hand, it seems as if we are accustomed to sending off the son of the country to martyrdom in the operations against the bloody terrorist organizations. While the fire was falling on the hearths with the news of martyrs, which we started to hear every day, we listened and passed on as if we heard a routine development and received an ordinary news. In our geography, which could not find peace after the great evil America entered our geography with the Gulf operation and the start of the Arab Spring, on which some romantic Islamists relied, it is like watching a movie while the children of the poor pay the price of the political mistakes made with their lives and someone is trying to find a future for themselves through the heroes who pay this price. We're watching what's going on.
 
Of course, every child of this country dies for religion, homeland and sanctity when necessary, but is it normal for us to assimilate so much what happened in wars designed by others, when terrorist organizations that have plagued us as a result of wrong choices and fed by our so-called allies get into the blood of our children?
 
In another area, while all kinds of filth that we couldn't stand to see on the screens yesterday, while the TV series and movies starring perverted converts reached the highest ratings, how was the spread of these immoralities in a way that poisoned the whole society in our minds? How did we come to see it as normal to watch the immoralities that we did not follow as parents with our children? How our sheikhs, teachers and pilgrims were made to remain silent and breathless, while a disgrace was staged under the name of "Islamic Solidarity Games" by the conservative government in Konya, the land of Mevlana, by transcending the limits set by Islam, and a thousand and one disgrace that cannot be Islamic was presented under the guise of Islam. .
 
We could extend the above examples for pages and pages. All of this has a consequence; We have become captive to the world at a level where even the word we are becoming worldly is insufficient. We cannot break away from our conformist lives, and under the discourse of losing our gains, we have become as afraid of the account we will give as much as we are afraid of losing what we have gained. Summary; More than ever, there is a need, more than ever, for people and institutions that are responsible to take responsibility for getting out of this state of affairs, which the poet expresses as “No feeling, no movement, no pain… are you carrioned”, to take action that will shake the ummah, repair its heart, and regain its lost enthusiasm.
