About this book

Life in this world is a great test from Allah Ta'ala, a test to determine the truthful ones from the liars. Allah Ta'ala tests his servants; in particular those who claim to believe and follow the Truth, by placing them in varying circumstances in order to see how they respond. Will they turn to him in humility and faith or turn away through pride and disbelief?

Allah Ta'ala has declared,"And be patient and persevering: For Allah Ta'alas with those who patiently persevere." Qur'an, al-Anfal, 8:46

Abu Hurayrah r.a. narrated that the Prophet PBUH said, 'If Allah wishes good for somebody, He afflicts him with trials.'al-Bukhari

As believers it is our responsibility to remember that we are not in this world merely to enjoy ourselves, but rather to strive for the betterment of our eternal abode, the Akhirah (Hereafter). Our primary concern should not be how comfortable our lives are in this world, but rather what we have prepared for ourselves in the hereafter.

The Prophet PBUH beautifully put the life of this world into perspective when he said, 'This world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the disbeliever.'Muslim

Just as prisoners expect themselves to go through adverse times, away from the freedom and enjoyment they may experience when free; as believers we should expect the same in these short lives of ours. Similarly, just as a prisoner will look forward to the day they are set free to enjoy the freedom they were deprived of, we, as believers, should also look forward to the day we will, hopefully by the grace of Allah, be set free to enjoy the pleasures of Jannah (paradise).

This doesn't mean that we cannot worry and strive for the betterment of our lives in this world, but the important point is that worry regarding anything of this world shouldn't become our greatest concern.

Oxford Handbook of Religion in Turkey
Since its foundation in 1923, the Republic of Turkey has had a complex and often misunderstood relationship with religion. The constitutional laïcité implemented by its founders is unique in a Muslim context, and although the majority of the population identifies as Muslim, the state recognizes no official religion. Despite this secular stance, Islam has been resurgent in Turkey in the 21st century. Moreover, the relative openness of Turkish society has cultivated vibrant religious (and non-religious) minority communities, placing it at the forefront of global demographic changes in religion. As a result, Turkey has fostered a perennial dynamism among expressions of religious practice, belief, and identity. <p/><em>The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Turkey</em> offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which religion is understood, experienced, and contested in contemporary Turkey. The <em>Handbook</em> is arranged into thematic sections dealing with religion and the origin of the state, theological trends in the early republic, Islam in rural and urban settings, religious minorities, religion and culture, religion and politics, and modern intellectual and religious trends. Though this is a seemingly narrow topic, the subject of religion in Turkey attracts considerable interest both within and outside of the academy. Paradoxically, the study of modern Turkish theology is still in its infancy in the Western academy, not only because of the inaccessibility of the sources to non-Turkish speakers, but also because of an over-emphasis on the study of Turkish secularism, to the detriment of the study of religion itself. The <em>Handbook</em> thus represents an important intervention by presenting themes from modern Turkish theology, while opening the field of religious and Islamic studies to include more voices from Turkey. With co-editors in chief specializing in religious studies, theology, and anthropology, the <em>Handbook</em> provides the definitive reference work in this growing field.
