Abstract
This paper deals with one of the most prominent Turkish poets of the last century, Mehmet Akif Ersoy whose worldwide sociological dimension is appreciable. It is a micro social hermeneutic on the Akif’s societal engineering based on Islamic tradition and its value system, opposite to racial-nationalism, caesarism and despotism, the social deviations of his Zeit as alienation, atheism, defeatism etc. Akif, through his poetical discourse, tried to save and affirm the spirit of solidarity and of the universal Islamic community (ummah), to affirm the idea of authentic identity based on spirituality, morality, patriotism and knowledge. In sum, this article is a synopsis of Ersoy’s poetic vision, functionalist social philosophy, constructivist ethical-cultural approach and pro-active lifestyle that emanates in his magnum opus Safahat.
