Prof @gregjamesbarton shares his reflections on the passing of #fetullahgülen "If we are to test #religious #leadership...surely the biggest test comes when under persecution...my #faith has been strengthened by knowing #Hocaefendi & the #HizmetMovement" bit.ly/3YKZ7Pa

A poignant piece by Dr Farid Esack on the #humanitarian #legacy of #fethullahgülen “The duty of the #state cannot be raising a #religious generation. […] This will mean imposing a certain opinion on those who think differently.” mg.co.za/thought-leader…

Fethullah Gülen inspired the Hizmet movement’s core values of education, dialogue, altruistic service, and respect for diversity. His unwavering dedication to building a peaceful, inclusive world will continue to guide and inspire Hizmet participants for generations.
