Quote

God sent us the Qur'an not as a completed book between two covers, but as a book lived and interpreted within the life of a prophet and his companions.

Yasin Aktay · Prayers and peace upon the Prophet

Throughout history epidemics in particular have killed more people than wars, but they have not been remembered as much as wars.

Yasin Aktay · What will we remember and what will we forget?

A person or a group is not wronged because he is not given more than equality.

Yasin Aktay · In Syria no one has the right to ask for more than equality

Undoubtedly, throughout history the Islamic world has encountered very different civilizations, cultures and societies, and just as it gave them much, it has also taken much from them.

Yasin Aktay · D. Mehmet Doğan and "The Betrayal of Westernization"

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

If the reward of democratic politics is prison, why should people choose democratic ways?

Yasin Aktay · Never having enough of punishing Ghannouchi!

However heavy the oppression, when there is a will to resist it, God's way does not change and His promise does not fail.

Yasin Aktay · Syria on the way to becoming a "homeland" for all Syrians

Goodness is contagious, kindness is contagious, compassion is contagious… But evil is contagious too, rudeness is contagious, violence is contagious, and unfortunately the contagiousness of evil is faster than that of goodness.

Yasin Aktay · Violence at school: a symptom of our social malaise

Contrary to what is thought, economic difficulties do not reduce fertility; on the contrary, the groups whose fertility is declining are those whose level of welfare has risen even higher.

Yasin Aktay · Muslim men and Muslim women: old and new questions

The human mind tends most of the time to think of God through its own needs, angers, desires and power relations.

Yasin Aktay · The sacrifice in the context of Gaza, and humanity's trial in the mirror of the conception of God

It is a historical rule, a divine law, that where a dangerous, destructive, dominant power rises excessively, a saving power also emerges.

Yasin Aktay · Gaza against the bare lives of the Zionist dominant order

Legitimacy is related not to the use of force but to being accepted.

Yasin Aktay · Will Israel be tried in Istanbul?
