الإسلام في تركيا بين التراث والحداثة

About the book

Turkey's relationship with its geographical environment, particularly with the Arab world, has been characterized by numerous changes and influences. Throughout Islamic history, this relationship has taken on frameworks of cooperation, extension, and cultural exchange; over the years, the two sides have fused within the melting pot of Islam as two civilizations that influence and are influenced by one another.

No objective researcher can overlook that this state of harmony, which prevailed for centuries, suffered certain flaws and lapses due to reasons inherent in the natural course of states and empires—which entails strength, followed by weakening, and a transition to another form.

Within the pages of this book, the reader will find historical grounding, sound narration, and fairness for an era; at the same time, they will perceive a perspective aimed at remedying the shortcomings that adhered to the relationship and building the principles of cooperation on an unextinguishable, lasting legacy, civilization, and faith.

We present this book to researchers concerned with all components of our civilization and who guard it with protective care, through the interviews Prof. Dr. Yasin Aktay conducted with intellectuals and scholars of Turkey.
