Remembering Fethullah Gülen: One Year Later, His Values Endure

The Mosaic of Charlotte community recently came together to mark the first anniversary of the passing of Fethullah Gülen. It was an evening dedicated to reflecting on a life profoundly devoted to the ideals of education, interfaith dialogue, and tireless service to humanity.

In a spirit of solemn remembrance, participants gathered to honor a legacy that has touched countless lives by emphasizing the bridge between faith and modern learning.

✨ A Legacy of Service and Dialogue

Through thoughtful speeches and personal reflections, the program highlighted the core values that Mr. Gülen championed throughout his life. These principles remain a compass for our community:

  • Commitment to Education: The belief that learning is the most effective path to overcoming ignorance and building a brighter future.

  • Compassion and Dialogue: A lifelong emphasis on finding common ground, fostering understanding, and promoting peaceful coexistence among people of all backgrounds.

  • Ethical Responsibility: Encouraging individuals to live with sincerity and to place the needs of others through service.

🌿 A Time for Quiet Reflection

The atmosphere was one of quiet gratitude and unity. It offered a dedicated space not only to remember a great teacher but also to consider how his teachings continue to inspire acts of kindness and community-building today.

“A person’s value is measured by the goal they pursue.”

This gathering reminded us that while a life may end, the values of compassion and sincere service are enduring and continue to guide our hands and hearts.

💙 With Gratitude

We are deeply thankful to everyone who joined this gathering. Your presence, reflections, and commitment to these shared values helped honor his memory in the most meaningful way—through togetherness and a renewed focus on learning.
