DÝNÝN GELECEÐÝ

Giordano Bruno rahip ve gök bilimci idi.

Sýrf gökteki cisimlerin iþleyiþi hakkýnda fikir yürüttüðü, Kopernik’in Güneþ merkezli evren tezini savunduðu, evrende dünyadan baþka gezegenler olduðunu söylediði için engizisyon mahkemelerinde yargýlandý ve Roma meydanýnda 1600 yýlýnda diri diri yakýlarak idam edildi.

Bugün Roma’da heykeli bulunan Bruno ölmeden önce þu tarihi tespiti yapmýþtý:

“Tanrý, yeryüzünde iradesini hâkim kýlmak için iyi insanlarý kullanýr; kötü insanlar da kendi iradelerini hâkim kýlmak için Tanrý’yý kullanýr.”

“Rahibe Terasa, hiçbir zaman yoksul dostu olmadý; hep yoksulluðun dostu oldu. Yoksulluðun Tanrý'nýn bir lütfu olduðunu vaaz edip durdu. Kadýnlara onlarý özgürleþtirecek, onlarý rahata erdirecek yolu hiç göstermedi.” (Christopher Hitchens)

"Hristiyanlýk, Filistin'de bir kardeþlik hareketi olarak baþladý. Sonra Yunanistan'a geçti felsefe oldu, Ýtalya'ya geçti kurum oldu, Avrupa'ya geçti kültür oldu, Amerika'ya geçti iþletme oldu."(Sam Pascoe)

Takiyüddin Muhammed er-Râsýd ibn Ma’rûf, Þam’da dünyaya gelmiþ, eðitimini burada ve Mýsýr’da tamamlamýþ, çeþitli hocalardan hadis, tefsir, fýkýh okumuþ, ardýndan müderris olarak muhtelif medreselerde dersler okutmuþtur.

1571’de Ýstanbul’a gelen Takiyüddin burada bir rasathane kurmak istemiþ, Sadrazam Sokullu Mehmed Paþa ve Sultan III. Murad’ýn hocalýðýný yapmýþ olan Hoca Sadeddin bu konuyla ilgilenerek Takiyüddin’in giriþimini desteklemiþ ve Padiþahý bir rasathane kurulmasýna ikna etmiþlerdir. Takiyüddin’in rasathane kurmak istemesinin gerekçesi, mevcut zîcler (astronomi tablolarý) eskidiðinden günlük ihtiyaçlarý karþýlamadýðý ve yeni rasatlara göre yeni zîclerin hazýrlanmasýna gerek duyulmasýydý.

Tophane sýrtlarýnda inþa edilmeye baþlanan rasathane binasýnýn ve aletlerinin yapýmý 1577 yýlýnda tamamlanmýþ ve rasatlara baþlanmýþtýr.

Þeyhülislâm Kadýzâde ve ekibi Sadrazam ve Hoca Sadeddin ile çekiþme halindeydi. Bu sürtüþme ve düþmanlýklar da rasathanenin de eleþtiri hedefi olmasýna sebep olmuþ ve sonunda Þeyhülislâm, Padiþahý rasathaneyi yýkmaya ikna etmiþtir. Padiþah ikna edilirken, bu tür kurumlarýn, doðanýn sýrlarýna müdahale etme giriþimi olduðundan talihsizliklere sebep olduðu ve rasathane inþa eden ülkelerin hýzla yýkýldýðý ileri sürülmüþtür.

1580 yýlýnda bir gecede top atýþýyla yýkýlan bu rasathane (Ýstanbul Rasathanesi), Osmanlýlarýn tek, Ýslâm Uygarlýðý’nýn ise son rasathanesiydi.

Ýslam dini; Hz. Âdem (a.s) ile baþlayan ve Hz. Muhammed (s.a.v.) ile tamamlanan “güzel ahlak”ý merkeze alan cihanþümul bir anlayýþýn adýdýr.

Ýslam’ýn en birinci ilkesi ihlas, insanýn kendisine þah damarýndan daha yakýn olan (Kaf,50/45) Allah’a “aracýsýz” ibadet etmesidir.

“Din insanlarý”sýnýfý baþlangýçta hepsi Ýslam’ýn farklý isimlendirmeleri olan Yahudilik ve Hristiyanlýk’ta da yoktu.

610’da “Ýslam’ý güncellemek” için gönderilen Peygamberimiz (s.a.v) “Ýslam’da “din insanlarý” yoktur/“Lâ ruhbaniyete fi'l-Ýslâm” sözüyle evrensel ilkeyi hatýrlattý.

Allah Teâla’da Kur’an-ý Kerim’de ayný tehlikeye iþaret etti:

“Sonra bunlarýn ardýndan peþ peþe peygamberlerimizi gönderdik. Özellikle Meryem’in oðlu Îsâ’yý arkalarýndan gönderdik, kendisine Ýncîl’i verdik ve ona uyanlarýn kalplerine þefkat ve merhamet yerleþtirdik. Uydurduklarý ruhbanlýðý ise biz kendilerine farz kýlmadýk, lâkin Allah’ýn rýzasýna nail olmak için kendileri icad ettiler. Kaldý ki ona gereði gibi de riâyet etmediler. Biz de onlardan iman edenlere mükâfatlarýný verdik, onlarýn çoðu ise büsbütün yoldan çýkmýþlardýr.”(Hadid, 57/27)

Ýslam’ýn elçilerine dair Kur’an’da en çok vurgulanan ilke; “onlarýn önce kendileri yaþadýklarý dini baþkalarýna anlatma hizmetini sadece “Allah rýzasý” için yapýp karþýlýðýnda asla bir ücret istememeleridir”

Tabii ki “dinin geleceðinin” parlak olduðuna, “Allah’ýn nurunu tamamlayacaðýna” inananlardaným.

6236 ayetiyle Ýslam’ý içeriden ve dýþarýdan bütün salvolara karþý koruyup kollayan Kur’an din ve düþünce arasýndaki kardeþliðinde teminatýdýr.

86 yerde direkt, 1000’den fazla ayette endirekt insan aklý ve düþüncesinin deðerine atýf yapan Kur’an bilimler geliþtikçe Ýslam’ý daha yüksek seviyelere taþýyacak bakýþ açýsýný sunmaktadýr.

Ancak birilerinden/aracýlardan beklemek yerine “ben Müslümaným” diyen herkesin bizzat Kurân’ý anlamak ve anlatmak hususunda; “elini taþýn altýna sokmasý” ile bu kutlu sürecin mümkün olacaðýný düþünüyorum.

The Future of Religion

Giordano Bruno was a priest and astronomer.

Simply for speculating about the workings of celestial bodies, defending Copernicus's heliocentric theory, and claiming that there were planets other than Earth in the universe, he was tried by the Inquisition and executed by burning alive in a Roman square in 1600.

Bruno, whose statue stands today in Rome, made the following statement before his death:

 

"God uses good men to establish his will on earth; evil men use God to establish their will."

"Mother Teresa was never a friend of the poor; she was always a friend of poverty. She preached that poverty was a blessing from God. She never showed women the way to liberate them and bring them comfort." (Christopher Hitchens)

"Christianity began as a brotherly movement in Palestine. Then it moved to Greece and became a philosophy, to Italy and became an institution, to Europe and became a culture, to America and became a business." (Sam Pascoe)

Taqi al-Din Muhammad al-Rasid ibn Ma'ruf was born in Damascus and completed his education there and in Egypt. He studied hadith, tafsir, and jurisprudence under various teachers, and then taught at various madrasahs as a professor.

Taqi al-Din arrived in Istanbul in 1571 and wanted to establish an observatory there. Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and Hoca Sadeddin, who had taught to Sultan Murad III, took an interest in this matter, supported Taqi al-Din's initiative, and persuaded the Sultan to establish an observatory. Taqi al-Din's reason for wanting to establish an observatory was that the existing astronomical tables were outdated and could not meet daily needs, and there was a need to prepare new ones according to the new observations.

Construction of the observatory building and its instruments, which began on the hills of Tophane, was completed in 1577, and observations began.

Sheikh al-Islam Kadýzâde and his team were in conflict with the Grand Vizier and Hoca Sadeddin. This friction and hostility led to the observatory becoming a target of criticism, and eventually, the Sheikh al-Islam persuaded the Sultan to demolish the observatory. While the Sultan was persuaded, it was argued that such institutions, because they attempted to interfere with the secrets of nature, caused misfortune and led to the rapid collapse of the countries that built observatories.

Destroyed by cannon fire in a single night in 1580, this observatory (the Istanbul Observatory) was the only observatory of the Ottomans and the last of Islamic civilization.

Islam is a universal understanding centered on "good morals," which began with the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) and was completed with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The first principle of Islam is sincerity, the "unmediated" worship of God, who is closer to one's own being than one's jugular vein (Qaf, 50:45).

The class of "religious people" did not initially exist in Judaism and Christianity, which are all different forms of Islam.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him), sent in 610 to "update Islam," reminded us of this universal principle with the words, "There are no "religious people" in Islam/"There is no clergyman in Islam."

God Almighty also pointed to the same danger in the Holy Quran:

"Then We sent our messengers one after another after them. Especially Jesus, son of Mary, We sent him after them, and We gave him the Gospel and instilled compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But as for the monasticism they invented, We did not impose it upon them, but they invented it for themselves, seeking the pleasure of God. Moreover, they did not observe it as it should be observed. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but most of them were utterly depraved." (Al-Hadid, 57:27)

The most emphasized principle in the Quran regarding the messengers of Islam is that they "first served to convey the religion they had practiced to others only for the sake of God, and never asked for any reward."

Of course, I am one of those who believe that "the future of religion" is bright and that "God will perfect His light."

The Quran, with its 6,236 verses, protects and safeguards Islam against all internal and external attacks, and is the guarantee of the brotherhood between religion and thought.

The Quran, which directly refers to the value of human reason and thought in 86 places and indirectly in over 1,000 verses, offers a perspective that will elevate Islam to even higher levels as science advances.

However, I believe this process is only possible if everyone who declares "I am a Muslim" personally undertakes the responsibility of understanding and explaining the Quran, rather than waiting for help from others or intermediaries.
