Fethullah Glens Teaching and Practice

This is the first book of its kind about the Turkish Muslim scholar, Fethullah Glen, since the July 2016 events in Turkey, the trauma experienced by Glen, and the disruption to initiatives inspired by his teaching, known as Hizmet. Drawing on primary interviews with Glen and Hizmet participants and a literature review, this Open Access book locates the clear origins of Glens teaching in the Quran and Sunnah in dynamic engagement with their geographical, temporal and existential reception, translation, and onward communication. It argues that as Hizmet cannot be understood apart from Glen and his teaching, Glen and his teaching cannot be understood apart from Hizmet, while exploring the heritage of both. A more geographically focused case study is set out in author Paul Wellers Hizmet in Transitions: European Developments of a Turkish Muslim-Inspired Movement, also published by Palgrave Macmillan (2022).
