Andolsun ki, senden önce de bir çok Peygamberler yalanlanmıştı da onlar
yalanlanmalarına ve eziyet edilmelerine karşı sabretmişler ve nihayet
kendilerine yardımımız yetişmişti. Allah’ın kelimelerini değiştirebilecek bir güç
de yoktur. Andolsun peygamberler ile ilgili haberlerin bir kısmı sana gelmiş
bulunuyor
Eğer onların yüz çevirmeleri sana ağır geldiyse; bir delik açıp yerin dibine
inerek yahut bir merdiven kurup göğe çıkarak onlara bir mucize getirmeye

Teknoloji, sermaye, sayı ve askeri üstünlüğe sahip bugünkü Câhiliye,
tecrübesi, gelişmiş sanayisi ve sağlam örgütlenmesi sayesinde bütün alanlarda
bizi geçmiştir. Bugün gelinen noktada sanayi sonrası çağın kapılarını
aralayan Cahiliye; bilişim, uzay araştırmaları, seri üretim (otomasyon), bitki
ve hayvan DNA’larının manipülasyonu çağına girmektedir. Bizler ise bu
cahiliye kervanının çok gerisinde, ancak düşe kalka ilerleyebilmekteyiz. Bir
kere kervanı kaçırmış, geri kalmışız. Benliğimiz parçalanmış, servetlerimiz
saçılıp savrulmuş, topraklarımız bölünüp parçalanmış, zihinlerimiz işgal edilip
azmimiz kırılmıştır. Unutmayalım ki Allah’ın evrensel yasaları (Sünnetullah)
kimseye iltimas geçmez (mücamele). Allah’ın bu konudaki hükmü şudur: Sel
köpüğü gibi olanlar, öyle kaldıkları sürece büyük işler beceremezler

Yüce Mevla’mız, ilk Câhiliyeyi yaşayan seleflerimizi kurtardığı gibi bizi de
bu fitneden kurtaracaktır. Bunun şartı, onların vahyi dinledikleri gibi bizin
de vahyi dinlememizdir. Onların Allah’a kulluk ettikleri gibi bizim de Allah’a

Eğer tarihimizi atlarsak, ondan ibret alma fırsatını kaçırmış oluruz ve önümüzü
göremeyiz; öz ile kabuğu, cevher ile arazı ayırt edemeyiz. Bu imkânın kaçmasıyla
da, ihsan değerleri üzerine kurmayı arzuladığımız kendi hayatımızdan başlamak
üzere, değiştirmeyi istediğimiz realiteyle çatışırız.

Kanlı savaşlar ve saldırılar, ilk devir Câhiliyesinin genel karakteriydi.
Şiddet, istisnası olmayan bir kuraldı. Saldırı ve soygun iki temel geçim

Bazı İslamcılar, Allah Resulü’nün (s.a.s.), kuşkusuz, hepsi hak ve doğru olan
hayatının pozitif yönleri üzerinde yoğunlaşırlar, yirminci yüzyıl câhiliyesinin
terk ve boykot edilmesi, ondan uzak durulması çağrısı yaparlar. Bu çağrının
yüzeysel biçimde anlaşılması, Müslüman toplumların tekfirine kapı aralar
ve mutlak idealizme götürür. Mutlak idealizm düşüncesine kapılanlar,
Câhiliye gerçekliğini bir çırpıda yok edebileceklerini tasavvur ederler; asla
bekleyemezler, tedricîlik yöntemini uygulamazlar, muhakeme etmezler, sabır

a la m erin e srar etme te ir Allah’a dönüş, Allah’ın Şahit ve Kefil
olarak alınacağı toplumlarımızın bileşenleri arasında bir anlaşma, bugün
değersizleştirilmiş ve tedavülden kaldırılmış ahlaki ve toplumsal faziletlerin
(dürüstlük, dayanışma, güven, samimiyet, iyi yapılmış iş, verilen söz, adalet)
çiçek açmasını sağlayacaktır.
Bir hukuk Devleti’nde Adalet ve herkesin hak garantisi sosyal istikrarın
iki şartıdır. İnançlı toplum asgari hayati adaleti garantilemelidir ki kimse
yaralanmasın ve herkes güvende olduğunu bilerek ortak çabaya katılsın.
Dışarıdan bize uygulanan adaletsizlikler sadece kendimize yaptığımız
adaletsizliklerin hak ettiği cezadır

le evam e i or ilk şartı adalet olan bağlılık
yeminiyle Allah’a bağlı olan inananlara yapılan tavsiyeler daha kesindir. Nahl
suresi, inananlara gereken ibadetin ayrılmaz parçası olan tam bir sosyal ahlakın
tavsiye ve usulünü kapsamaktadır. Sadece sosyal alanın dinle hiçbir alakasının
olmadığını açıklayanı isteyen laisizm ancak şu iki ayetle en iyi yalanlanabilir:
“Şüphesiz Allah adaleti, iyilik yapmayı, yakınlara yardım etmeyi emreder;
hayâsızlığı, fenalık ve azgınlığı da yasaklar. O, düşünüp tutasınız diye size öğüt
veriyor. Antlaşma yaptığınız zaman, Allah’a karşı verdiğiniz sözü yerine getirin.
Allah’ı kendinize kefil kılarak pekiştirdikten sonra yeminlerinizi bozmayın.
Şüphesiz Allah, yaptıklarınızı bilir

Modern insanlar ancak nadiren ve bazen varoluş kaygısı duyarlar, zamanı
öldürmek ve mutlak düşman ölümün beklediği bir yaşam trajedisini unutmaya
da kendilerini canla başla verirler.
Zamanın kontrolünün kaybı, ‘zaman Kıtlığı’na ve ‘zamanı yaşama’ zorluğuna
çare bulamadan bu toplumların aydın eleştirmenlerinin kötü bulduğu modern
toplumların yapısındaki büyük çatlaklardan biridir

There are a num er o reasons

1) A dominant theme in the Arab and Muslim World
There is no ou t that the issue o re orm is one o the hottest to ics in most

Notes on Yassine’s works and writing style
There are a num er o oints that shoul e ta en into account in or er to
ensure a etter un erstan ing o Yassine s ritings
e note
eech To ar s a etter n erstan ing o Yassine s Thought an
ttitu es
1) The need to be sure of his final position on the subject to be
investigated
hei h Yassine has le t more than ort oo s in rose as ell as in oetr in

e not There ore one has to e cautious in or er to use the right source an
not ma e an hast conclusions
2) The need to be attentive to the chronology of Yassine’s works
The oint here is that one shoul a hee not to the ate o u lication ut
rather to the ate hen the or
as com lete This is im ortant not onl
to ollo the evolution o Yassine s thought ut also to ma e sure o the nal
stance to ar s the issue to e e amine
or instance Yassine as initiall
against luralism in slamic activism He elieve at the time that all slamic
grou s shoul e unite un er a single organisation This is hat he sa s
in the rst e ition o one o his ma or oo s entitle Al-Minhaj An-Nabawi

Ho ever Yassine changes his o inion regar ing
this oint an in the secon e ition o his oo he argues that luralism is
not onl ermitte ut unavoi a le Thus using the right e ition is crucial

The same coul e sai a out other issues To cite one more e am le some
egree o cautiousness is necessar hen one re ers to the ritings o Yassine

Parvez amplifies the rights and duties of women in an Islamic State. He
holds that Islam gives equal rights to man and woman. It is a fallacious
statement that a man can but a woman cannot develop certain qualities.
The Quran explicitly illustrates their merits. Both males and females have
talents and those who enhance these would go to paradise. Despite all
these features, woman has to perform certain specific duties. Child-birth
and fostering of children are painful functions which only an affectionate
woman can manage. (Parvez Tahira Kay Name 29)

change the linguistic actors have o ten een given trivial attention There
are at least t o reasons or this a arent neglect o the language issue
c rah
• The rst is that socio olitical change is o ten conceive o in a rather
narro sense n an attem t to anal e the mmah s situation most
eo le o ten ocus on olitical an or economic situations The
conse uences o this materialistic a roach to olitical re orm an
social evelo ment are that economic in icators are o ten erroneousl

ith national evelo ment an societal ell- eing n this
narro sense then the role o language in a uslim nation s revival
ma rather e seen as too marginal to e ta en seriousl
• The other reason h the language issue has not een central in
either olitician s or uslim intellectual s iscourse is that the nature
an role o language in societ are o ten largel misun erstoo This
is ro a l the result o historical rece ents here in our ra

n the asis o em irical linguistic stu ies
ar
a ir conclu e that
Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in
the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much
at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium
of expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that
one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that
language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems
of communication or reflection. The fact of the matter is that the ‘real
world’ is to a large extent unconsciously built up on the language habits
of the group...We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely
as we do because the language habits of our community predispose
certain choices of interpretation

Extract 1:
Key to political stability, and in the center of its heart, education
lodges; it mobilizes efforts. Then comes economic development
promoted by well-trained and qualified brains making it suitable
for international competition. And upon this scientifically planned
development, a thorough justice is established. In the same way, upon
the foundation of justice, we set unity..…We pondered upon the entire
edifice; we discovered that language is the best cherished claim and
the most appreciated demand ever. Yassine
Extract 2:
Union is sustained by justice, but justice without a sustainably
developed foundation remains a shallow dream... In other words;
union, justice, and development lean on each other, and depend
on each other… Following this interrelated sequential track, we
inevitably get into the linguistic basis. i i
The Concept of Change in Imam Ab de ssalam Yassine’s Theory of the Prophetic M ethod
Extract 3:
Reviewing the building edifice from bottom to top, we find out
that the unity of language, the power of language to unite, is the base
of the foundation, and the corner stone that once shook the whole
building becomes destabilized and might subsequently collapse.
