An intellectual with a distinctive spiritual charisma, a prolific writer and poet, M Fethullah Gülen has been an extremely effective and popular scholar of Islam for the last 3 decades. This work presents Gülen through a short biography, a selection of various articles, his views on modern education and its importance, and how he has been presented in the media. It is by no means a comprehensive presentation of his life and influence upon millions of people; rather, it is meant to serve as an introduction to those who desire a better understanding of Gülen's message and what it has accomplished over the years.
