AB This book explores the Gulen/Hizmet Movement, which is a social movement inspired by Fethullah Gulen, one of the most prominent Islamic scholars - and controversial figures of modern-day Turkey. Notwithstanding the current political turmoil under Erdogan regime in Turkey, Gulen/Hizmet Movement is one of the most interesting faith-based movements that arose from a Muslim society in the twentieth century. They have opened thousands of schools around the world since late 1960s and have been active in relief work in Turkey and abroad. In this book, Anwar Alam shares his almost a decade-long research and field work based on the religious, educational, political, and social contexts that have shaped the essential dynamics from which both Gulen and his movement have flourished
