PATIENCE AS A MORAL VALUE AT MEHMET AKİF ERSOY

Abstract

Man, who has to live in society, has some moral values that he brought with his creation and gained later through education. “Patience”, which is extremely valuable among these, is a value that should be kept active in human and social life. For a Muslim, patience is among the most important values after faith. It is one of the most needed moral values, especially in today's social life. This moral value in the Qur'an and Sunnah, and which the believer is asked to embrace, has also found a response in the various writings of Mehmet Akif. He made serious references to the value of the principle of patience in the solution of the wrong religious understanding. Especially, in line with the encompassing divine messages given in the surah al-‘Asr, he examined the issue of patience as a very special moral value in order not to fall Muslims into despair
