Adnan Oktar Says...

• Ataturk was a classy, devout person. Those who protect the values Ataturk brought should be modern, enlightened, high quality, class and devout. Protecting the values Ataturk brought is only possible by emulating his devoutness, his living by Islam as described in the Qur’an, his kindness, his good manners and high quality.
• We need to create a thorough program to make it possible for people to appreciate Ataturk as his due, to re-introduce Ataturk to our youth. The Directorate of Religious Affairs should give sermons in mosques and the TRT (Turkish State Television and Radio) should broadcast about his personality day and night. Ataturk should be very well known by our youth. Atatürk was a perfect gentleman, an ideal leader in whom the British upbringing is united with the Ottoman palace etiquette and palace gentility. All the clothes of Ataturk are very stylish, all his speeches are kind, polite and very classy. Ataturk was a very intelligent, very wise person. God sent Atatürk as a blessing for the Turkish nation. Had Ataturk’s understanding of quality been adopted by our youth, we would have been the most perfect country of Europe. Let us keep Ataturk constantly on the agenda from now on, let us have him embedded in the minds of our people as the ideal Turkish person.
• Ataturk is a blessing from God on Turkish nation. Without Ataturk, Turkey would not have developed into such an enlightened structure, we would have been divided and assimilated long ago. Ataturk had been instrumental for our having such a perfect youth. He has formed a national army, a national assembly. He had turned the scattered understanding of Islam bigots have created into its true, neat form that is explained in the Qur’an by means of the Divinity schools, Directorate of Religious Affairs, Islamic Divinity high schools, he had opened. He was a very classy, high quality perfect person. He has turned a state that was about to be fall into pieces into a modern country.

• Communism is the greatest foe of the Turkish nation. It must absolutely and in any case be annihilated wherever it is seen.
• We are neither Bolsheviks nor Communists. We can neither be one nor the other. TURKS ARE A NATIONALISTS NATION THAT RESPECT THEIR RELIGION.

As the unswerving guards of the Republic of Turkey founded by Atatürk, in order to properly carry his heritage, it is essential to accurately grasp how the “a genuine follower of Atatürk” must be. Having a good understanding of this important fact is a great duty and responsibility upon every Turkish citizen. Before all else, Atatürk, who was a fervent Turkish nationalist and a sincere Muslim, struggled against communism and materialism at every phase of the National Struggle.

THE PIOUS NATURE OF ATATURK

• He made the Grand National Assembly of Turkey render the Qur’an into Turkish.
• He incorporated the Department of Religious Affairs into the state.
• He opened Imam Hatip high schools so that enlightened
  scholars could be trained.

THE ADMIRATION ATATURK HAD FOR OUR PROPHET (SAAS)

• “The love one harbors for our Prophet (saas) who made a great revolution can only be manifested by protecting his views and the principals he brought.” (Shamsaddin Gunaltay, Ulku Journal, volume 100, p. )
• "He is the first and most esteemed servant of Allah. Today millions of people walk on his path. My or your names disappear but he is immortal until the End. (Dr. Utkan Kocaturk, Ataturk’s Views and Thoughts, , Ataturk and Religious Education, A. Gurta, s. 26)

ATATURK’S WORDS PRAISING ISLAM

• " O My Nation! Allah is the One. His glory is sublime. May Allah’s peace, grace and goodness be upon you. The principles He laid down are the verses in the Glorious Qur’an. Our religion that granted the spirit of knowledge is the last religion. It is the most perfect religion because unless our religion had complied with reason, the truth and wisdom, there would have to be some discrepancies between divine and natural laws. It is Almigthy Allah Who makes all divine laws.” (Ataturk’S and D, v. 2, p. 93)
• The Qur’an is the most perfect Book.
