ConclusionIndexKen’an Rifai is such a great man who combined the former century with the later, and thus formed the structure of the future through personal trial and experiences. Every man, consciously or unconsciously, is likely to find Him in himself and know Him in one way or another. He was so courageous and firm in fighting for his faith without expecting any reward neither from the world nor from Hereafter. Throughout his life he showed patience, he withstood difficulties, he came across insensitiveness, he struggled exhaustingly while He was trying to conduct this orchestration with no fault. He was an idealist; he endured. He endured because He loved people. He loved so much that He was more gentle than a mother, more compassionate than a father, more loyal than a friend and He was a brother, companion and intercessor while combining the universe in his Love. He did not hurt anyone, nor was hurt by anyone; everyone whether they expected or not found forgiveness and ‘gufran’ (mercy) in abundance. Thus, His universal love for everything in the world without considering gender, religion, doctrine, and nation made Him the one who is in every heart. This love and affection made him surrounded by the followers whose number is increasing each and every day. But he always acted with modesty preferring to be neutral, even passive, in spite of this attraction. Thus, while formulating the universal friendship and affection and distributing it to each and every point of life, he softened even the hardest hearts, just like the roots of the tree that break the rocks, with his own peerless sincerity. He is a value appreciated at all ages. When he was introducing a higher level of understanding to the man, like the earth that revolves both around itself and around the sun, he put the spirit of personal and social life in balance. Ken’an Rifai is a great being who has gathered all the virtues of mankind in himself. For this reason, He can be both called with an ordinary title and remembered with a blessed one. The reason for this is that he gathers all of Esma-i Hüsna (the names of Allah) in himself. The most pleasant side of this matter is that when he said, “Some see me as Ken’an, and some as evil”, he got the same pleasure from both addresses. Truly, the existence of a great man is nothing but a straight and polished mirror from which everyone watches his own reflection. Here we should mention that what we have tried to tell about him so far is neither complete nor exact. We believe that as it happened until now, from this day on everything related with goodness, rightness, beauty, prosperity and perfection will announce him to humanity and will deliver greetings from him. Every voice that leads us to love and faith is his addressing to us. In every step we take, we will see him next to us. He has a share in our clear tears and in our calm smiles. The light of hope that appears in our despairing time is his merciful look; the hand that moves on our face is his curing hand. He is always ashamed of our sins. We always repent, he always forgets, we repeat, he forgives. Even when we reject him, we solve our problems with the help of his existence that is full of mercy and pardon. Even when we have faith or not, or cry with repent, or are blinded by pride, in every age and period of time, we will find Him next to us. With his mercy and patience he will be the remedy of our problems. He will appear in the way we demand him. If these great men had not existed, how lonesome would the humanity be despite its population and how poor it would be despite all of its possessions. In the magnificent dawn of every new day, humanity will reach faith, love and security and proceed towards the essence of life. The extent of this procession will be determined by how much His grace is spread into life. We hold our tongue with the hope and faith we derived from His ocean of beauty and maturity. |
