Fundamental values of Hizmet 📜
6. Pluralism, Respect for Differences and Sacred Values 🌎 🕊️🙏
The Hizmet Movement views pluralism, respect for differences, and reverence for the sacred not merely as a requirement for harmonizing with modern pluralistic societies, but as a reflection of the divine principles of the Qur’an, the practices of the Prophet Muhammad based on pluralism, and the body of co-existence law developed by Islamic scholars throughout history.
The same approach is clearly seen in the Prophet’s words, “But isn’t he also a human being?”, which reflect the pinnacle of universal ethics, as well as in historical documents such as the Constitution of Medina.
Guided by Fethullah Gülen, the Hizmet Movement seeks to implement this historical and religious background in contemporary pluralistic societies; it views differences not as a threat but as opportunities for moral development and social enrichment.
In this way, the Hizmet Movement represents the modern embodiment of a religious sensitivity that turns pluralism into a civilizational ideal, respect for differences into a believer’s moral code, and reverence for the sacred into an indispensable condition of coexistence.
