OM FÖRFATTAREN OCH HANS ANDRA BÖCKER Författare - poet: Ramazan Faruk GÜZEL Güzel har arbetat som advokat, arbetat på tidningar och TV i många år och skrivit berättelseböcker som har publicerats i Turkiet. Under en tid jobbade författaren som brottmålsdomare och vid tjänstgöringen i östra Turkiet blev han avskedad från sitt jobb för att han hade gett en nederländsk kvinnlig journalist frikännande dom. Anledningen var att hon hade skrivit om president Erdoğans frus egendom, och detta agerande var ett oförlåtligt brott för makten. Likaså var brottet av en domare som hade fattat ett sådant beslut naturligtvis oförlåtligt. På grund av risk för vårt sitt liv blev han tvungen att lämna Turkiet och 2015 kom han till Sverige. I Sverige började Güzel med skriv- och publiceringsarbete för att bidra till kampen för mänskliga rättigheter i Turkiet. I dagsläget har författaren 61 publicerade böcker i olika ämnen och språk, och 18 av dessa är diktsamlingar. För att uppmärksamma människorättskränkningar i Turkiet har Güzel ställt ut sina målningar. På grund av dessa gemensamma utställningar med Amnesty har den turkiska regeringen omedelbart begärt Güzels utlämning genom en röd notis. Hans namn var även bland de första som Erdoğan begärde att Sverige skulle utlämna under processen för Sveriges NATO-medlemskap. De insisterade på hans utlämning och placerade hans namn på listan över de mest eftersökta terroristerna. Som det framgår av officiella korrespondenser var den grundläggande anledningen att Güzel hade anordnat konstutställningar. ... - Lista över författarens verk publicerade i vårt förlag som heter "Nordic Publishing House": https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/RamazanFG - Författarens nuvarande YouTube-kanal, där han gör vanliga program: https://www.youtube.com/c/tvFOCUS - Författarens personliga YouTube-kanal: http://YouTube.com/@rfgKanal ** ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK AND HIS OTHER BOOKS Writer-Poet: Ramazan Faruk GÜZEL He was born (1972) and raised in Turkey.

FOREWORD

Ramadan holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims, centralizing around fasting that enhances patience, gratitude, and devotion to Allah. It also fosters community solidarity and empathy towards the less fortunate.

Beyond physical cleansing, Ramadan is a period of spiritual renewal and self-reflection, with special emphasis on Quran reading and Tarawih prayers. Eid al-Fitr, marking Ramadan's end, celebrates the spiritual journey completed, uniting the Muslim community.

…

-These poems reflect the spiritual depth of Ramadan, the individual and social effects of fasting, and the importance of the basic prayers of Islam.

…

While preparing this book, Sunni Islamic primary sources were taken as basis. And the book consists of 2 parts;

In the first part, poems were written to answer the first questions that come to mind about Ramadan and fasting.

In the second part; The focus is on the spiritual depth of the month of Ramadan.

This section is based on the work named Book About Ramadan (Ramazan Risalesi) by the Islamic thinker Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, who grew up in Turkey.

…

As for the style of the book and its choice of genre:

A poetic way was preferred instead of long articles and doctrinal discussions to explain the month of Ramadan and fasting, which is an important time period for Muslims. (While doing this; We chose a relaxed style without restricting our poetic words to strict poetry rules and patterns.)

I think the spirit of the time required it. I wanted it to be a more easily understandable and concise study. I tried to support what was said with visuals; In order to increase readability... I hope we have achieved our goal. I wish everyone a pleasant and useful reading.

A final note/a thank you note:

The book, written in three languages;

I would like to express my endless gratitude

- to Mr. İsmet Aslan, who corrected the English version,

- and to my wife, Hülya, who corrected the Swedish version.

A)- THE FIRST THINGS THAT COME TO MIND WHEN YOU SAY RAMADAN:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS...

To begin with:

-These poems reflect the spiritual depth of Ramadan, the individual and social effects of fasting, and the importance of the basic prayers of Islam.

While fasting develops feelings of patience, empathy and gratitude, it strengthens Muslims' ties with Allah (SWT) and encourages cooperation and solidarity within society.

Fasting serves as a means to deepen patience, gratitude, and devotion to Allah.

Zakat donations and Eid al-Fitr celebrations complete the spiritual journey of this holy month, enhancing spirituality and community feeling.-

(Let's first explain the essence and importance of Ramadan, so that we can better understand the meaning of this holy month. And finally; We will also understand whether it is an opportunity or a burden...)

…

Ramadan's Embrace

In the moon's gentle rise,

a holy month awaits,

Ramadan's embrace,

opening spiritual gates.

A billion Muslims,

In devotion, unite,

From dawn till dusk,

A fast, their plight.

A time for reflection,

prayer, and peace,

When worldly desires

are meant to cease.

Fasting from food,

drink, and more,

A test of faith,

to the core.

When you meet a Muslim,

during this time,

Ramadan Mubarak,

A greeting so prime.

A month of charity,

Of community care,

A moment with God,

uniquely rare.

…
