Brains? Intelectuals?

Everybody has brains, look for intellect, if you can find it! 

Solving the secret of human existence is like solving the secret of everything. Human beings are analysed on two basic understandings. One is the physical (corporeal, material) man and the other is the spiritual (spiritual) man. The treatment of the corporeal human being falls within the field of interest of those interested in medicine. The spiritual life format, on the other hand, has been a branch of science that philosophers have been pondering. 

The brain is only an organ. It is visible, tangible, just like our heart. The brain refers to an organ of the corporeal human being, and the mind refers to a limb of the spiritual human being that cannot be seen but whose existence is accepted. The heart, just like our brain, tells us about an organ of the corporeal human being, and the heart tells us about the spiritual human being. That is to say; "The Creator of the Universe" has endowed man with different features that are not found in other creatures while creating man. The most important of these is the mind. Then, do we use what we call reason to operate our brains, which everyone (including animals) has? 

Leaving the mind and heart aside, do we act only with our corporeal organs that are found throughout the creatures? Unfortunately, we have a social structure that generally does not use its mind. From the past to the present, we have a ready-made human culture that struggles to find ready-made answers. Some of our questions are current, our problems are today's, but some of us are looking for answers in the past. The so-called competent scholars, the so-called ulema, who we expect to give us answers, are trying to find answers and solutions for today by looking through black books written about a thousand years ago. 

Then I ask, what is the relevance, why are we looking for something for our present and future by copying things from the past? Did the scholar, philosopher, scholar or wise person who lived a thousand years ago and reasoned and answered the questions and problems of his own age and found solutions to the problems of his own era, have to produce answers to the questions that would be asked a thousand years later and solutions to the problems that would arise? Did these scholars pass away from the world with such a promise to the next generations? If the scholars, scholars and wise people who lived about a thousand years ago had the strength and power to answer the questions of the following ages, what was the need for their descendants and their descendants to continue their studies and research in science and scholarship?

I find it difficult to understand the approach that 'in any case, the answers to the questions that are likely to be asked in the following centuries have been prepared, entrusted to history between two covers, and solutions and formulas to the problems that are likely to occur again have been produced and entrusted to future generations'.

Those who try to find answers to the problems that arise today and to find answers to the questions asked today by opening such and such a work by such and such a scholar are saying exactly the same thing. I do not want to say that we should not make use of the works of a thousand years ago or two thousand years ago in order to find solutions to today's problems, and no one has the right to say such a thing. However, the attitude that we should lie on our backs and answer the questions that are likely to come from such and such books is of course wrong and inaccurate behaviour. In its simplest form, it is not scientific. It goes without saying that centuries ago, social life, human relations, tools, equipment, production-consumption relations, views and perceptions of events, etc. were undoubtedly a thousand times different from today. When the questions and problems are different, shouldn't the answers and solutions also be different? 

Let me express that I do not find the "fatwa" culture, which is current and I believe that it will continue to be current for a long time, which comes to the agenda with the Afghanistan / Taliban discourses and actions and which is quite contrary to today's understanding and perception styles, not correct in this sense. The answers given to the questions asked to the Presidency of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Turkey, as reflected in the press from time to time, we see that there are things that are never research, never the product of labour and are made by transferring from any work written centuries ago. As such, most of the time they cannot avoid being ridiculed. When the questions are current, the answers must inevitably be given by today's scholars, scholars and sages by making an up-to-date effort. 

Today, just like in the past, we have scientists and religious scholars who have truly educated themselves. The problem lies in the fact that the jugglers have the system. No one sees and hears the real gems, no one asks them these questions. We have retired soldiers and officers who have educated themselves so well, who are a treasure with their experience, their writings and their stories, but we are left with Mete Bayar-like ex-soldier types who appear on television. The majority of those who respond to our enquiries about spiritual matters are similar types. 

As people who belong to a religion that says "Do you not use your minds, do you not use your minds?", why do you think we do not use our minds properly and correctly? Our Presidency of Religious Affairs, our so-called great teachers who declare themselves as religious scholars, cannot be ignorant of the Holy Qur'an, which points us to use our minds, can they?

With respectful love
