Mevlânâ’s world views symbols as doorways to truth. In this article, we will explore his symbolic language in simple terms, particularly through the ney and his understanding of human nature.What Is a Symbol and Why Is It So Important?A symbol is when one thing represents another. We do this even in daily life. For example, a heart shape conveys “love,” and the color white evokes a feeling of “purity.”Symbols have long existed in Islamic thought. For instance, the ritual of stoning the devil dur

To the one with a light heart, the world feels heavy,To the one with a heart of stone, the world feels empty,To the one with a heart of glass, the world feels as if it will shatter…And how does the world seem to the one without a heart?The world crushes the one with a warm heart,The world melts and finishes the one with a heart of ice,The world shatters into pieces the one with a heart of mirror…Then what does the world do to the one without a heart?The world soils the one with a pure heart,The

EnEnvironmental Awareness is defined as the recognition of humans not as separate from and superior to nature, but as an integral part of it; the understanding of mutual dependencies between living and non-living entities; and the reflection of this awareness in one’s thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. The concept is addressed not only within ecology but also in philosophy, education, and the social sciences, particularly in connection with efforts to reevaluate the nature of the human-nature rel

HuTechnology no longer merely simplifies our lives; it directly intervenes in our bodies and existence. Artificial intelligence, gene-editing techniques (CRISPR), stem cell research, cloning, artificial womb projects, and transhumanist approaches that claim to biologically “enhance” humans… All these developments force us to reconsider a single question:Where should the boundary begin when humans are capable of such intervention? This question is not merely scientific; it is also moral, philosophi

Behaviors such as affection, blame, and especially gratitude have become a flow extending from human to human, from human to animal, and even from human to plant. It is also worth noting that Sufi practitioners have attributed value to inanimate objects and regarded them as worthy of gratitude. Today, this same flow is beginning to extend from humans to robots, offering numerous clues about the psychological condition of an increasingly isolated humanity.Let us imagine a person providing artific

ThIt is an interesting question why rain evokes such different emotions in people. The same sound of rain can be soothing to one person while triggering an introverted mood in another. Some people love rainy weather; sitting by the window watching the outside and quietly spending time with a warm drink brings them comfort. Others notice that their energy drops along with the gray sky and feel more alone or melancholic.Perhaps the compelling aspect of rain lies in its ability to force people to pau

HoFrom the moment a human becomes aware of their existence, they contemplate how and why they exist, the purpose of life, and how to navigate it beyond death. As a thinking being, the human is prepared for learning through education provided by the family into which they are born. It is also possible to plant the seeds of instruction in the same environment. When individuals reach the age where these educational seeds have sprouted and grown, they begin to question their own existence. Thus, the j

The Qur’an-ı Kerim states, as commanded by Allah (c.c.): “Do not sit with the wrongdoers, lest the fire also consume you; since you have no friends other than Allah, you will find no help from any quarter!” (Hûd/113)【1】It is known that between October 2023 and May 2025, more than 50,000 children in Gaza were killed or injured.【2】 Official institutions report that by the end of 2025, more than 171,000 Palestinians had been injured and approximately 11,000 people were still missing, presumed trapp

Some people love traveling. A new city, unfamiliar streets, trying to find your way without looking at a map… Each step brings a sense of small discovery. When walking in a place you do not know, you are not only exploring a geography but also discovering yourself. What is interesting is that the human mind is very similar to this. Each mind is like a separate city, a unique story. What Is Travel Between Minds? Meeting people is often like visiting a new place. At first, it feels foreign and dis

HuDespite advances in technology, the aviation industry has shown that a significant proportion of accidents stem from human factors. Events such as the 1977 Tenerife disaster have vividly demonstrated the critical role of human error in flight safety. Such accidents underscore once again the importance of understanding and improving human factors. To prevent accidents caused by human error in aviation, a deeper understanding and more effective strategies must be developed.Definition and Importanc
