We talked to Salih Turhan, President of the Anatolian Youth Association, and Ramadan-i Sharif, whom the Islamic world has been eagerly awaiting for 11 months. Turhan said that Ramadan was a bear to wash away from sin and to approach Allah more.
We are aware of the last days of the month of Ramadan, the sultan of the eleven months that Muslims are eagerly awaiting. Can you get your views on the month of Ramadan immediately after the blessing and blessing?
First of all, the month of Ramadan is Qur'an. After 600 years from the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the revelation is the moon. He sent the burden of revelation and revealed it to humanity. He was sent as a mercy to the worlds. Ramazan is the month of mercy, revelation is mercy, Ramadan is the revelation, prophethood and humanity. The prophethood chain started with Adam (ra) and ended with our prophet Mohammad (pbuh). The Qur'an and the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) have the exemplary life. The Qur'an is not a book that has been downloaded just to be read. Quran is a book that is downloaded to live. We'll read the Qur'an slowly, and we'll be busy with him. We will strive to bring the Qur'an into all areas of social and individual life.
How do you realize the month of Ramadan as the Anatolian Youth Association?
We come together with our organizations and brothers with iftar and sahur programs in our cities in both Europe and Anatolia. We're opening our Iftar and Sahur to our people in different thoughts. Our modest tables are fraternity tables. Of course, Ramadan, fasting, the field is also blessing our work. We're trying harder. Fasting increases the performance of the body, mind and heart. All our commissions carry out their duties and more with great enthusiasm. Ramadan in Europe and fasting a distinct taste. Being there at the same table with the different colors, races from the races, is like a kind of umre. Being fasting creates awareness among Muslims. I am Muslim, I am fasting; I am Muslim, I am in favor of right and justice, I am against oppression and evil; I am a Muslim, an employee of every human good, whatever faith. With this consciousness, all our members are in the effort to reach more people and to meet their needs besides routine activities.
At the end of the month of Ramadan, schools will be closed, you will have more jobs, you will host thousands of students in the summer, can you tell us about your work?
We have summer events every year. This year, we have a 6-week program from 17 June to 26 July. These programs are not just programs that provide information. Together with social and cultural activities, it also includes many sports activities. We ensure that our children both learn our values and socialize. They learn many different ways to learn how to swim from horseback riding. We will have tent camps for our young brothers who are studying at Imam Hatip High School and other high schools. Tent camps and young people will throw away the fatigue of a whole year. At the same time, our young people are more prepared for the new school year.
RAMADAN, BROTHERHOOD AND SHARE
On the other hand, Ramadan is the month of brotherhood and sharing. Our iftar tables will be our far away tables. We will welcome our relatives, our neighbors, the city's weaknesses and our students at these tables.
WE WILL MAKE OUR COMMUNITY IN THE BEST WAY
You have a strong organization and do you have an important young generation growing up in you, do you have advice on the month of Ramadan?
Our first recommendation to our youth is not their passion, but the pursuit of good. It is a pinch of flying goat. If man addicted to the world, running behind the earth carries wood to its own disaster. But if man lives for his brother, living with the superior, he will make this world beautiful and opens up to the satisfaction of the God. On the other hand, our duty is not condemnation, but not exclusion. We'll be looking for ways to win these people. Our youth should see the twist of the twelve months of the year when a society that doesn't make a sound of interest to eaters has declared war on fasting for a month. We will look at our business, we will make the most beautiful way. God will support us with the things we never expected or the people we never expected. Again, young people should know that fasting is to give up a world where everyone is indexed to gain, and compassion, brotherhood, sharing, generosity, justice, love, courage, altruism.
