Quote

Even when we recite the Surah al-Fatiha alone in our prayers, we address God not as "I" but as "we".

Yasin Aktay · Islamic unity in the context of Gaza and the caliphate remembered anew

To be able to become free, a person must first see that he is not free. To be saved from servitude to other servants, he must become aware of the servitude he is performing.

Yasin Aktay · The hands that opened and wrote the "Red Gate" of freedom

A perceived sense of power can very easily lead a person into heedlessness and error.

Yasin Aktay · The Sheikh of Love Melayê Cizîrî Symposium in Cizre and Barzani's participation

The West is not the only different world, the only different civilization or form of society that Muslims have encountered.

Yasin Aktay · Have we now taken the knowledge and art of the West?

No one can, or should, wrong the Kurds, the Turks, the Arabs or any people.

Yasin Aktay · Syria is for everyone and only together with everyone… The SDF east of the Euphrates is contrary to sociology

Constitutions, also defined as a social contract, are the texts to which society is the last to be party, and whose approval signatures are often even obtained by force.

Yasin Aktay · On the horizon of the debate on a new and civil constitution

Conflicts loaded with an existential and metaphysical meaning are harder to end.

Yasin Aktay · Israel's theological obsessions and the commentators who attach these obsessions to Israel and drag the world into catastrophe

The ummah was never an ethnic category; nor was it a linguistic closure.

Yasin Aktay · The delusion of resurrection of the dying: the cautionary tale of the Baath

No one is blamed for another's sin or condemned to pay a penalty for it.

Yasin Aktay · The veil that falls between truth and the eye is lifted by the sacrifice

Those who see politics merely as a means for their personal advancement, even if they entered it with lofty meanings, are destined sooner or later to be positioned alongside the wicked.

Yasin Aktay · On Islam, morality and politics

Truly, no country can survive for long with such a paranoid view, seeing everyone as a potential enemy and attacking everyone it sees as a potential enemy.

Yasin Aktay · The greatest threat to Israel is Israel itself

Freedom is a great value whose worth is understood very well when great prices have been paid for it.

Yasin Aktay · What does everyone expect from the new Syria and its leader?
