ON OCTOBER 29 2023 TURKIYE CELEBRATES THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SECULAR REPUBLIC OF TURKIYE BY GHAZI MUSTAFA KEMAL PASHA "ATATURK". WE EXTEND OUR BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS FOR THE WELLBEING OF THE TURKISH PEOPLE AND EXTEND THE GREETINGS OF CUMHURIYETIN 100 YILI KUTLU OLSON.
WHILST OUR AGENDA IS NOT TO PROMOTE SECULAR NATIONALISM ANYWHERE THE SPIRITUALITY, STABILITY, SECURITY AND PROGRESS OF THE UMMAH IS OF VITAL SIGNIFICANCE. SO THERE IS A NEED FOR A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE LAST CENTURY OF TURKEY AS IT EMBARKS ON IT'S NEW TURKISH CENTURY.
FOR TURKS IT IS A TIME OF CELEBRATION BUT FOR THE UMMAH THERE IS A NEED FOR REFLECTION AS WE HAVE TO EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY FOR THE NEW ISLAMIC CENTURY. IN PARTICULAR WE NEED TO REFLECT ON ATATURK AND HIS CONTROVERSIAL LEGACY. IT IS DEBATABLE TO WHAT EXTENT TURKS HAVE BEEN ABLE OR PREPARED FOR THIS PROFOUND EXERCISE. THIS OPINION IS BASED ON OBSERVING CONTEMPORARY TURKISH SOCIETY BY LIVING IN TURKIYE FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS.
THERE IS NO TIME TO SPEAK IN RIDDLES. WHILST THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ATATURK WAS A KEY MILITARY FIGURE IN FIGHTING FOR TURKIYE'S TERRITORIAL INDEPENDENCE AGAINST HOSTILE ENEMY FORCES. HOWEVER, HIS VISION TO TRANSFORM THE NEW REPUBLIC ON THE ASHES OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE ON THE LINES OF A MODERN SECULAR EUROPEAN TEMPLATE IS AND HAS BEEN CONTROVERSIAL
TO SAY THE LEAST. THE ATTEMPT TO RECONSTRUCT THE TURKISH PSYCHE, SOUL AND SOCIETY AS SECULAR EUROPEANS HAS NOT GONE TO PLAN.
HOWEVER, THE MUSLIM WORLD LOOKS TO TURKIYE AND IT'S OTTOMAN PAST AS THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD OF ISLAM(SUNNI) AND THE LAST BASTION OF THE KHILAFATE. BUT WE HAVE TO FACE UP TO THE FACT THAT FOR A CENTURY THIS ISLAMIC POLITICAL INSTITUTION HAS BEEN MISSING IN THE WORLD OF ISLAM. THE DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THIS NEEDS DIAGNOSIS WHICH WE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING ON THE FORUM.
THE KHILAFATE IS THE RAISON D'ETRE OF ISLAM TO ESTABLISH THE DIVINE WILL ON EARTH. THE TURKISH PEOPLE UNDER THE AKP HAVE BEEN MOVING TO RE-ESTABLISH THE ASCENDANCY OF ISLAM. SUFFICE TO STATE HERE THERE IS A LONG WAY TO GO TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS.THE TURKS HAVE HAD THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THE ISLAMIC WORLD IN THE PAST BUT THE MUSLIM WORLD CANNOT WAIT FOR THE KHILAFATE VACUUM TO CONTINUE.
MUSLIMS NEED TO PREPARE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF THE KHILAFATE BY IMAM MAHDI AS DICTATED BY THE SUNNAH. THIS MEANS "GLOBAL VISIONARY" MUSLIMS ARE DESTINED TO CARRY THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESURRECTION OF THE GLOBAL KHILAFATE IN THE COMING CENTURY OF ISLAM. IT IS TIME FOR THE NEW CHAMPIONS OF THE GLOBAL ISLAMIC KHILAFATE TO PREPARE TO ENTER THE WORLD STAGE AT A TIME OF GLOBAL INSTABILITY TO DELIVER GLOBAL JUSTICE.

Turkish leaders and ministers, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have celebrated the centenary of the Republic of Türkiye.
"We are experiencing the excitement and pride of reaching the 100th anniversary of our Republic today. I wholeheartedly congratulate our citizens living in our country and worldwide on the October 29 Republic Day," Erdogan said on X.
Erdogan, along with several state dignitaries, later visited Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Türkiye, for a ceremony.
"We have tried to protect your legacy properly during our 21-year period of administration, every moment of which was spent serving our country and nation," he wrote in the Anitkabir guestbook.
"As an administration that has brought Türkiye together with the historic moves of investment, we are determined to crown the second century of our Republic with the Century of Türkiye. Our republic is safer than ever before and in safe and competent hands."
'Long live the Türkiye Century'
Parliament speaker Numan Kurtulmus said Türkiye is "making efforts to crown the century of a Türkiye with strong words and effective actions, in line with the faith and efforts demonstrated by our dear nation."
Communications Director Fahrettin Altun also extended congratulations as the Turkish Republic entered its 100th year, saying: "I wish for the Turkish nation, of which I am proud to be a part, to stand forever."
"On this occasion, I remember with mercy all our heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for our homeland, especially the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Long live the Republic, long live the Türkiye Century," he added.
"From the founding of the Republic of Türkiye to the present day, under the shadow of our crescent and star flag, we have understood being able to sacrifice everything to live as one nation, and we have upheld our democracy."
We will continue to feel and preserve this spirit in our entire being," said Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Türkiye "will continue to take bold and resolute steps for a fairer world as a symbol of peace, common sense, justice, and trust."
National Defense Minister Yasar Guler said, "We are proudly and excitedly celebrating the 100th anniversary of our Republic, which was established at the end of the Turkish Independence War led by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, with heroism and sacrifice to protect our noble nation's homeland, flag, independence, and national and spiritual values."
The Turkish Defense Ministry, in a separate message, said: "Happy 100th Anniversary of our Republic! We remember with gratitude and respect the founder of our Republic and our Supreme Commander, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as well as all the heroes of our Turkish War of Independence.
"We will continue to work with all our might to reach the level of contemporary civilizations that Ataturk pointed out and to stand together as one in the Türkiye Century with 85 million people."
