| Sumario: | Mehmed Akif Ersoy, was not merely the writer of the National Anthem of the Turkish Republic. He was also a monumental character raised in the last period of the Ottoman Empire. Setting aside his proses, the wails in his poems send his fondness of the Ottoman homeland out and some resorts for salvation. By the help of the relative freedom of Second Constitutionalist Period, implicit or oversea intellectual debates turned into some open discussions and Akif was got involved in these discussions. In Akif’s opinion, salvation of the country and underdevelopment of İslamic world could be possible by adopting real Islam and take and example by Prophet Mohammed. Therefore, Akif chose to be on the side of Pan-Islamism amongst the doctrines of this period and submitted some of his solutions for country’s situation. In terms of Akif, Second Constitutionalist Period brought a new chance to publish his articles. Notwithstanding some of his works had been published before, Akif begun to write and publis his new articles effectively. After the declaration of Second Constitutionalist Period, he wrote some critical and concanetation articles in Sırat-ı Müstakim, which was being published by Eşref Edip and Ebul’ula Mardin and his name became integrated with this magazine. In his articles and preachments, he defended Pan-Islamism severely. In this article, reasons of staying Ottoman Empire behind and remedies for this situation will be analyzied by Mehmed Akif’s words. |
