The world is not a place shaped by the individual good and bad deeds of people. In today's world, we can better understand the existence of an institutional and systematic evil network. The sole purpose of these foci, which are the centers of evil, is the dominance of chaos in the world. Because the road to their own ambitions passes through this chaos environment. They aim to establish an order out of chaos in order to get what they want. It is necessary to look for the root cause of wars, terrorism, political, social and economic crises here.
 
What makes evil centers so powerful is that individuals, communities, groups, parties, nation states, belief groups and international organizations cannot center the good. However, the only power that can stand against this situation is man himself. Because the innate feature of man keeps goodness, beauty, truth and justness hidden within him. As long as a person activates this conscientious side, no evil will be able to stand against him. We cannot wait for this situation to happen with a decision to be made. The movement of consciences is possible by passing some stages.
 
Human nature puts the conscience in the center. But conscience may not always come out of a person's mind and spread to thoughts and actions. For him, the first thing to do is to succeed in activating the individual consciences of people. For this, the discipline of the soul is important. We can understand the concept of self-discipline as getting rid of the desires and whims that cover the human conscience, wanting what is reasonable, and seeing what is right for oneself as right for others. But it will not be enough for each individual to choose the conscientious one. Because helping a poor is a conscientious act, but this is not enough to end poverty. Standing against cruel rulers makes a person honorable as an individual, but it is not possible to achieve success in this way. For this reason, goodness needs to be institutionalized and turned into an act of conscience.
 
Just as evil acts institutionally and systematically, goodness must be systematic and institutional. In other words, being a community that enjoins good and forbids evil, which is also expressed in the Qur'an, is the second stage of this struggle. It can be thought of as an association, a civil society movement, a political party, a state, an international association. The important thing is that the institutional conscience can penetrate the purpose of the movement.
 
The next step is to ensure that the good, the beautiful, the right and the just dominate. For this, it is necessary to convey the emotion that will mobilize the consciences to large masses. It's the only way to grow the good. The opportunity to fight against organized evil is to involve large masses in this struggle. If the masses sneer at your just struggle, it means that their consciences have not been touched, or the voice of your own conscience has not been pleasing to them. Regardless, the source of the problem is that the communication has not been established on the right ground.
 
It is important for the hope of a new world that the goodness grows and becomes a mass and a systematic organization. It is known that there will be no struggle with cruelty against the oppressor, with cruelty against the oppressor, and with evil against the wicked. As long as we put goodness, justice and mercy at the center of the struggle, victory will ultimately belong to those of conscience.
