Living Faith Through Service: The Transformative Power of Gülen’s Philosophy of Hizmet

Living Faith Through Service: The Transformative Power of Gülen’s Philosophy of Hizmet by Dr Hasnain Gulamali Walji

Across continents and cultures, I have met followers of Fethullah Gülen who, like my friend Dr Tekalan, reflect the essence of Hizmet in every word they speak and every action they take. In these encounters, I have witnessed something quietly powerful – a philosophy that goes beyond lofty ideals or well-spoken beliefs. There’s a depth to their commitment that transforms simple acts into living proof of leadership based on compassion, empathy, and tireless service. It’s a rare kind of leadership, one that goes beyond inspiring others to merely admire, inviting them instead to live a shared vision of service and humanity.

The Spiritual Journey of Arbaeen – A Path of Reform and Renewal by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

The Arbaeen pilgrimage is a profound expression of faith and devotion in Shi´a Muslim tradition, commemorating the 40th day after Ashura, marking the end of a period of mourning for Imam Hussain (AS), a grandson of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). One of the most poignant aspects of this pilgrimage is the 80km walk from Najaf to Karbala, undertaken by millions of devotees. This journey is more than a physical trek; it represents a spiritual path of reform, renewal, and devotion.
