His vision on religion
As we have stated for several times, M.K.Atatürk was a man of vision on everything. He searched the best approach to every subject. He knew that a great civilization can be established with logic and science. The main material is the society itself.
He had also applied that principle to the Islam. as he was interested in history, he came across many samples which resulted with the termination of a state because of false applications. He planned to teach Islam correctly, because a religion can’t be belonged to hodjas or sheiks. Islam belongs to all humanity and Islam should be united with science and logic. Modern Turkish Republic is based on secular system. Secular system isn’t only aimed to separate the government works and religion and also it leads to learn Islam correctly. A hodja or a sheik can’t be directed individuals or the society. Logic will be directed the people to the right religion.
His first move was to establish religious affairs administration before republic was declared. He aimed to practice Islam in our native language in order to be understood very well among the people. His effort was to protect Islam from corruption. The holy book, Kuran, was translated into Turkish. The calls were translated into Turkish, but this practice was cancelled because of radical moves.
His purpose was to protect Turkish nation and Islam world from corruption. The minds should be open and free. Thus, an individual will think on anything.
The first order of Kuran is ” to read” .
