Kenan Rifai is the living Koran. He practiced the ethic and moral principles of Hz. Mohammed (s.a.v.). He considered everything and everyone as “Hak”, and invited people around him to the Heaven and peace of “tevhid” (unification of Allah with all his manifestations).

In the material world, he showed excellent modesty. In spite of his great spirituality, he absolutely and sincerely believed in “fakr” (having or owning nothing of value for God is the only true existence and everything belongs to him. We are all part of his wholeness). In his social life, he preferred and succeeded to stay always at the back stage as a simple, plain, unassertive, unimposing, and modest person. That is why he, as a perfect example of a human being, succeeded to both gather and conceal the merits of justice, generosity, tolerance, faithfulness, mercy, good will, patience, endurance, and his fight for Islam (mücahit).
