Excellency Mr. Temel Karamollaoglu, Chairman of Saadet Party
Honourable Mr. Oğuzhan Asiltürk, Milli Görüş leader
Distinguished ESAM President Recai Kutan
Representatives of political parties,
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Assalam-u-Alaikum!
We are gathered here today to pay homage to one of the greatest statesmen of Turkey – and indeed the entire Muslim Ummah – His Excellency Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan Merhum.
Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan’s teachings, ideas, philosophy and leadership not only inspired numerous transformative movements and political parties in Turkey, but also across the Muslim world. His political philosophy was anchored in ethics and spirituality, which inspired many statesmen.
His entire life was a living example of standing up for truth, justice and democracy. His legacy continues to enrich our lives even today.
Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan’s great mission was to bring together the Muslim Ummah – politically as well as economically.
His resolute and unwavering principled support for the oppressed Muslims across the world, in particular Northern Cyprus, Palestine and Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, remains a source of inspiration for us. He was always the voice of resistance in the face of injustice and occupation.
One of his most important intellectual and institutional contributions towards the unity of the Muslim Ummah was to pursue a dream for a shared economic future. He realized this dream by laying the foundation of the Developing-Eight (D-8) Organization for Economic Cooperation.
D-8 is not merely an institution for economic collaboration but also a revolutionary idea aimed at changing the very future of the Ummah by making it economically independent and strong.
Ladies and gentlemen,
His Excellency Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan Merhum was a true and sincere friend of Pakistan and its people.
The people of Pakistan fondly remember his successful visit to Pakistan in 1996 as an elected Prime Minister of Turkey. As a result of his historic visit, the two brotherly countries further strengthened their cooperation.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The life and teachings of Prof. Erbakan Merhum show us that truth and justice always prevail and cannot be defeated.
May Allah grant the departed soul of Merhum Erbakan Hoca the highest place in paradise, and help us pursue his vision of a bright future for the entire Ummah.
Long-live Pakistan Turkey brotherhood!
Thank you
