Throughout history, the sacred chain of prophets began with Adam (pbuh) and reached perfection with the Last Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh). He is the final link, bringing spring to humanity and spreading mercy across the entire universe. The Prophet’s universal message was not only a blessing for humankind but even embraced the angels. Archangel Gabriel himself witnessed this mercy when he was called “Ruh al-Amin” (the Trustworthy Spirit) in the Qur’an. With his mission, ignorance was replaced by civilization, and humanity advanced spiritually and intellectually.Highlights:- The final link of prophethood: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)- A mission of mercy encompassing all worlds- Completion of religion: “This day I have perfected your religion…”- The wisdom of the verse revealed at Arafat- The last brick in the building of prophethood⏱ Chapters:- Introduction – The chain of Prophets- Prophet Muhammad’s universal mercy- Gabriel’s testimony- Perfection of religion & Arafat sermon- The last brick parable- Prophet Muhammad’s gift to humanity🔗 LINKS🌐 Websitefgulen.com/enYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@GulenPodcast

Islam is a divine framework that encompasses every aspect of human life—our thoughts, actions, spirituality, and existence. From Prophet Adam to Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and finally Muhammad (peace be upon them all), the same message was proclaimed: submission to God. Prophet Joseph, despite all his blessings, prayed, “Take my soul as a Muslim.” This represents the essence of true devotion and surrender. The Prophets’ message teaches us that Islam is not limited to rituals but extends to all areas of life, inviting humanity to embrace God’s will fully. This podcast reflects the eternal call of the Prophets to surrender to the Almighty.🔗 LINKS🌐 Website: fgulen.com/enYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@GulenPodcast

What does “La ilaha illa’llah Muhammadun Rasulullah” truly mean?Beyond being a phrase, it is the eternal proclamation of faith that anchors the believer’s heart, life, and destiny.

What is the Shahadah? Beyond being the first pillar of Islam, it is the very heart of faith — the testimony that defines a Muslim’s belief and anchors their entire life. In this profound episode, we explore the depth and meaning of the Shahadah (the Muslim profession of faith), its eternal significance, and its transformative impact on the believer’s soul.The Shahadah is expressed as:“Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa’llah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuluhu” (I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger).This declaration contains two eternal truths:Tawhid (Oneness of God): Affirming that Allah alone is worthy of worship, the Absolute to be sought and adored.Finality of Prophethood: Declaring faith in Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the Seal of the Prophets, who confirmed, corrected, and perfected the pure essence of all earlier revelations.Through timeless narrations, including the Prophet’s ﷺ words to Abu Dharr, we rediscover that this testimony is not just words, but a promise of Paradise, even in the face of human weakness. The Shahadah, more weighty than all creation, is the foundation upon which Islam stands.🔹 What is the deeper meaning of “La ilaha illa’llah Muhammadun Rasulullah”?🔹 Why is the Shahadah called the key to Paradise?🔹 How does this testimony connect us to all Prophets from Adam to Jesus (peace be upon them)?Join us as we uncover the spiritual richness of the Shahadah, its role in Islamic faith, and why it remains the most meritorious phrase uttered by all Prophets across history.🎧 Listen and deepen your connection to the eternal testimony that defines the believer’s heart and destiny.Chapters:Introduction: The Shahadah as the Foundation of IslamThe Testimony of Oneness: Tawhid and Worship“Muhammadun Rasulullah”: The Seal of ProphethoodThe Weight of the Shahadah in Hadith NarrationsSalvation and the Promise of ParadiseShahadah as the Heart of Faith and LifeConclusion: The Eternal WitnessLINKS:🌐 Websitefgulen.com/enYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@GulenPodcast
In an age of unprecedented prosperity, humanity wanders lost in a labyrinth of its own making. We chase fleeting pleasures and material wealth, only to find ourselves spiritually empty and adrift. In this profound and timely episode, we delve into the thoughts of Fethullah Gülen on the modern world's deep-seated spiritual crisis. He argues that our obsession with a "standard of living" has led us to abandon the very virtues—wisdom, morality, love, and courage—that give life meaning.We have built a world where greed triumphs over character and ambition eclipses the soul. But there is a path to deliverance.🔹 Why has modern prosperity led to such profound spiritual emptiness?🔹 How can belief, love, and metaphysical thought rescue us from the grip of materialism?🔹 In a world that worships wealth, how do we rediscover our true human virtue and dignity?Gülen provides not just a diagnosis of our modern ailments but a timeless roadmap for recovery. This episode is a call to journey inward, to trade the frenzy of consumption for the peace of contemplation, and to reclaim the sovereignty of the heart.🎧 Tune in to explore a blueprint for humanity's return to itself—a future where love, not greed, defines our existence.Chapters:Introduction: The Crisis of ModernityThe Gladiator of Wealth: Materialism's Empty VictoryA Society Adrift: When Vice Triumphs Over VirtueThe Path to Deliverance: Belief, Love, and MoralityBeyond the Veil: The Power of Metaphysical ThoughtThe Inner Alchemy: Spiritual Training for the SoulConclusion: Planting Seeds for a Future of LoveLINKSWebsite:fgulen.com/enYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@GulenPodcast
What is Islam? Beyond being a religion, it is a complete way of life—rooted in belief, practiced through worship, and perfected by moral excellence. In this enlightening episode, we explore the profound meaning of Islam through the Hadith of Gabriel and other timeless narrations from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.We journey through the three essential dimensions: Iman (faith in God, His angels, books, messengers, the Last Day, and divine destiny), Islam (the testimony of faith, prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage), and Ihsan (worshipping God as if you see Him).

Nature is not just a backdrop to our lives—it is a sacred book, a reflection of divine artistry, and a mirror to our inner world. In this deeply poetic and thought-provoking episode, we explore the majestic beauty of nature through the lens of Fethullah Gülen, one of the most influential spiritual thinkers of our time. He paints a vivid picture of a once-radiant world: flowing rivers like verses, blooming flowers whispering the Divine Name, and mountains standing as sentinels at heaven’s gates.But today, nature groans under the weight of pollution, greed, and neglect. What was once Paradise on Earth now bears the scars of human betrayal.🔹 What does nature reveal about the unseen worlds beyond?🔹 Can we rekindle our bond with the natural world before it’s too late?🔹 How is the destruction of nature a betrayal of the soul?Gülen takes us beyond ecological awareness to a spiritual and metaphysical reflection on the natural world. Nature is not just to be seen—but felt, heard, and experienced as a sacred trust.This episode will awaken your senses, stir your soul, and perhaps lead you to reconsider how you walk upon the Earth.🎧 Tune in and reflect on the divine poetry of nature—and the human responsibility it calls us to fulfill.Chapters: Introduction: Nature as Divine Manifestation Nature in Ancient Times: A Paradise on Earth Mountains, Rivers, and the Realm Beyond Spiritual Perception and the Inner Journey Destruction of Nature: A Crisis of the Soul From Wonder to Ruin: Human Responsibility Conclusion: Returning to Harmony with CreationLINKSWebsite:fgulen.com/enYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@GulenPodcast
The term “civilization” refers not just to material progress or urban growth but to communities bound by human virtues. Since the dawn of history, humanity has lived in various civilizations—but being civilized means more than technological advancement or industrial success.Modernization can transform how life appears, but it doesn’t necessarily transform people. True civilization is marked by the development of the human spirit and intellect. A civilized person serves society not through wealth or consumption, but through inner growth and ethical values. Civilization is a spiritual and intellectual reality, not something to be found in luxury, riches, or material pleasure.Yet history shows us that many confuse modernization with civilization. In this mistaken pursuit, countless lives have been wasted, and generations have been spiritually impoverished. True civilization cannot be purchased like a garment—it must be carefully envisioned and cultivated across generations.When a society mistakes appearance for substance, it begins to decline. Elites start defining who is “civilized,” often ignoring deeper values like morality, philosophy, and faith. This leads to a dangerous cultural amnesia. In such an environment, tyranny may disguise itself as justice, ignorance may be celebrated, and true enlightenment may be dismissed.A truly enlightened society depends not on titles or degrees, but on individuals who live with heart, mind, and will—driven by a commitment to timeless values. These individuals become beacons of light, radiating wisdom and love across society. Civilization is born from their inner strength, faith, and pursuit of virtue.Without love, faith, and a sense of responsibility, science alone cannot bring civilization. No matter how modern a society appears, it remains spiritually barren without these foundations. Institutions may be updated, living standards improved, and styles modernized—but without inner transformation, true civilization cannot emerge.Our age, despite its rapid modernization, often lacks true wisdom. The belief that technological advancement equates to civilization has misled entire populations. This confusion has caused serious social, ethical, and spiritual consequences.Thankfully, more people today are turning toward traditional human values, seeking to build a civilization rooted in meaning. The future belongs to those who embrace this path with clarity, determination, and heart.🔹 These powerful insights are drawn from the reflections of Fethullah Gülen, one of the most influential thinkers of our time. His thoughts on humanity, spirituality, and civilization illuminate our modern challenges and offer a clear vision of a more meaningful and virtuous future.
If the human being is a mere body, taken only in its corporeal dimension, then the progress of humanity is only a biological development, and we must resort to theories of evolution to explain it. Such thinking reduces humanity to the level of the animal, searches for him among the animals, and turns anthropology into a description of the farmyard.If he assumes himself to be one of the animals, the individual will make material happiness into his ultimate goal. Pleasure, entertainment, and personal interest will become his ideals. And anything that facilitates these ends will be privileged above all else. In such a system of values, or rather a chaos of values, there can be no profound thinkers, resolute scholars, or diligent artists. Even if they could find a foothold, they would eventually be forced to cede to particular interests or else become dependent on the state. The recent history of our society exhibits this tendency all too well.Nobody can deny that what afflicts people today is the materialism of modern civilization. We have grounded our scientific inquiries into life, consciousness, and human behavior on hypotheses darkened by naturalism. We have destroyed everything traditional in visual art and literature, we have pumped delusion and mockery into everything, we have shaken social institutions from their foundations, turned governance and politics into an awful arena of mendacity and deception, and poisoned the family and the social body. Considering all of this, modern civilization seems to have cost humanity at least as much as it has offered.From the perspective of “materialism,” our civilization appears to be rooted in a gluttony that promotes greed and ambition over peace and satisfaction. More opportunity, more production, more credit, more profit, more comfort, more prosperity: it always promises more. As long as we misinterpret our true essence in this way, we will be captives to the very things that were created to serve us.We live in a world where the profitable is typically preferred to the beautiful and the true. I think this is the essential reason why we have failed to overcome our present adversities. The “genius” of our age has exaggerated the value of science and technology and supposed religion, morality, virtue, and aesthetics to be unnecessary and useless. The shocks and sicknesses experienced in our nation and around the world will continue until the day we overcome this inversion of our values. I wish we had been awakened earlier to the true essence of humanity.Spiritual reality is the truth of history and is embedded in it like a deposit of gold or silver. Once this spiritual reality is revealed, profit and entertainment no longer have significant places in the hierarchy of human values. This spiritual essence is what distinguishes us from the rest of creation. All other creatures pursue their interests within the natural order. It is only human beings who pursue a meaning that transcends creation. Animals do not have religious sense or moral concern, they do not struggle for virtue or desire artistic creation. These are available only to the human heart, their sole devotee. The human being, born in religion and swaddled in morality, practices the pursuit of virtue and expresses himself through art. From the works of the most primitive tools to the marvels of modern expression, every voice and breath, color and line, form and pattern radiate from the prism of human nature.Today, many of us wonder at the instinctive work of animals: the spider web, the bird’s nest, the beehive, the beaver dam. But it is we ourselves who are truly astonishing. The horizons of our genius extend to eternity. This is true despite the fact that today, many of us are ignorant of the true values, the knowledge of which could elevate us to the summits of existence. Until then, only God knows how many more terrible tragedies, how many more floods of blood and tears, our materialistic vision will cause.
The Journey of Self-Discovery: The Mystery and Potential of Being HumanHave you ever truly looked within yourself? What treasures are hidden in the depths of your inner world? As Socrates famously said, "Know Thyself," a philosophy that reaches a divine dimension in the Sufi tradition: "He who knows himself knows his Lord." How many of us truly heed this call?This video profoundly explores self-awareness, one of the most significant characteristics of human beings. How well do we know ourselves – from our weaknesses to our strengths, our failures to our triumphs? Is exploring our inner self a true quest for self-knowledge, or merely driven by curiosity or humiliation?From the grandeur of mountains to the whispers of rivers, and the mysteries of a star-filled sky, meaning is hidden in everything in the external world. Yet, this meaning truly shines only when we discover the truth within ourselves. The contradictions of human nature are many: we can be as sweet as honey or as foul as slime. From humility to pride, selfishness to selflessness... these opposing traits make humans both complex and unique.So, what makes us so diverse? The answer is simple: our spiritual and corporeal nature. Which path we choose depends on how much we realize our potential, whether we give spiritual attention to our hearts, and whether we understand the mysteries of our conscience. Those who live their lives according to the axis of spirit, heart, and conscience will always seek what is noble. As for those who remain imprisoned by physicality, they will drift further from the ideals of humanity with each passing moment.In today's world, we can harness thunderbolts, view subatomic particles, and observe phenomena millions of light-years away. However, we struggle to understand the reality of our own essence. Today's savagery, selfishness, lawlessness, and insatiable ambitions stem from this fundamental misunderstanding.This podcast serves as a guide for anyone seeking to embark on a journey of self-knowledge. Are you ready to discover your inner potential, add meaning to your life, and reveal your true self? Listen now and begin your inner transformation!
What does it mean to love God completely—so fully that nothing remains of the self?This podcast explores divine love through the lens of Fethullah Gülen’s reflections on faith, worship, and surrender.For the true believer, love begins with God—and flows toward everything for His sake. Not for Paradise, not for reward, but because He is worthy of love.🔹 To love for God’s sake is worship.🔹 To dissolve the ego in His will is freedom.🔹 To live without divine love is not living at all.Here, love is not a fleeting emotion but a sovereign enthroned in the heart. The lover of God does not seek to be seen or understood by others. Their tears fall in solitude, and their joy is hidden in quiet longing. Their heart burns for the Beloved—and they ask for nothing but “More.”From Rabia al-Adawiyya’s devotion to the silent passion of mystics, this is a path of sacrifice, patience, and sacred madness. Divine love becomes their soul—and without it, even the body becomes a prison. With it, they reach a rank that even angels admire.This podcast is a journey into the heart of Islamic spirituality, where God is not only worshipped—but loved.✨ Quotes from the Podcast:“If you are in love, grieve not over its sting; do not let others know of your agony.”“The candle of the soul has such a flame that cannot fit in the lantern of the firmament.”“They appeal to no one but God—and become a spark greater than the stars.”⏱️ Podcast Outline:Love Begins with GodLoving All Things for His SakeThe Nature of Sacred LoveSolitude, Longing, and Secret TearsWhen the Ego is Annihilated in LoveRabia al-Adawiyya and Pure WorshipA Lover’s ObedienceDivine Passion: “More, More!”Melting in the Light of His BeautyLove as the Soul Itself
