Bediüzzaman, Conscience of the Age

Conscience is described as 'the inner voice that tells what to do, the inner guardian that protects from doing wrong, the inner measure that protects from the wrong of doing nothing, an inner inclination that explains how to do something.' If this is the correct definition of conscience, then Bediüzzaman is 'the conscience of the age.' This is because while the lands he was born and raised in, the Islamic world, and the entire world were going through a difficult test laden with great suffering, and a period of all kinds of material and spiritual turmoil and crises, he determined the 'conscientious norms' of the age by listening to the voice of his conscience, despite all this chaos and noise. His thought system, which brought together reason and heart, and his life model, which included the journey from reason to heart, serve as a roadmap that makes these conscientious values livable for everyone. Bediüzzaman, the Conscience of the Age, brings to the agenda a thinker who was able to be the 'conscience of the age' through his life and contemplation... For those who truly want to be and remain 'human' in this age, the book in your hands has a lot to say...

Few people in history have been as misunderstood as Bediüzzaman. Writing about him was like entering a minefield. I thought that if we do not protect this valuable figure, who was a victim of psychological warfare in the history of our Turkey, history will blame us. A fish is born, grows, lives, and dies in the ocean; yet it does not know the ocean. Similarly, we have not known Bediüzzaman, the free man who became a slave to truth. I was faced with a genuine person, a compassionate master, a poor but content-rich teacher, a tremendous memory, a sharp intellect, and astonishing reasoning power. I could not read this information and keep it to myself, because I felt indebted and responsible. I thought I should be a means and an instrument for those seeking the truth.
