" More than those who excessively tell prayer beads, those who wear down an orphan's face with hopelessness and then make it smile with hope will be forgiven." — Nurettin Topçu
Nurettin Topçu's philosophy of Action suggests that faith is not a passive state but a dynamic force that must improve the world.
Topçu reminds us that the divine is found in the restorative act. To look at a face worn down by the world and provide the spark that brings a smile back is, in his view, a greater form of worship than any number of mechanical prayers. It is a call to move beyond the beads and into the lives of those who need us most.
