Kitap Tanıtımı Emphasizing the esthetic concerns of the Islamic civilization as well as underlining the true nature of the religion, this insightful opus contains a collection of essays on the art of language from a revered contemporary scholar of Islam. Written separately as lead articles for the Turkish literary magazine, Yagmur, the volume eloquently articulates the author?s approach to speech as well as his definitions of poetry, history, and beauty, all of which are deeply embroidered around the lacework of Islam.

M. Fethullah Gulen is a writer, a poet, and a public speaker on issues related to Islam. He is the author of Toward a Global Civilization of Love and Tolerance. He lives in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania.
