M Fethullah Galen has a vision: to raise a generation of young people combining intellectual &"enlightenment&" with pure spirituality, wisdom, and activism. While many people are content to have a similar vision and apply it on the personal level, GÜlen has spent the last 40 years of his life realising this vision on an international level. This short book features many of GÜlen's ideas that have guided this extraordinary venture since its inception. They have inspired millions of ordinary people to do what they normally might never consider doing: helping people they do not know for the sole purpose of earning the pleasure of God by helping a fellow human being.
