This is the first book of its kind about the Turkish Muslim scholar, Fethullah Guelen, since the July 2016 events in Turkey, the trauma experienced by Guelen, and the disruption to initiatives inspired by his teaching, known as Hizmet. Drawing on primary interviews with Guelen and Hizmet participants and a literature review, this Open Access book locates the clear origins of Guelen's teaching in the Qur'an and Sunnah in dynamic engagement with their geographical, temporal and existential reception, translation, and onward communication. It argues that as Hizmet cannot be understood apart from Guelen and his teaching, Guelen and his teaching cannot be understood apart from Hizmet, while exploring the heritage of both. A more geographically focused case study is set out in author Paul Weller's Hizmet in Transitions: European Developments of a Turkish Muslim-Inspired Movement, also published by Palgrave Macmillan (2022).

Industry Reviews

"Weller's book gives us insight into the views of a circle of Hizmet ad-herents, who are not afraid to be critical of the movement at times, while remaining committed, perhaps even devoted, to it. It also includes a valuable interview with Gulen himself." (Martin Whittingham, Journal of Dialogue Studies, Vol. 10, 2022)
