**The four-day Indonesia program of President of Üsküdar University Prof. Nevzat Tarhan concluded with a talk titled “Spiritual Prescriptions for Today’s Problems with Yunus Emre” held at the Yunus Emre Institute in the capital, Jakarta. Presenting a broad perspective ranging from the founding philosophy of the Ottoman Empire to the digital impasses of modern psychiatry, Tarhan shared Yunus Emre’s "language of the heart" with Indonesians, supported by scientific data. **

## **Institute Director Dr. Cemal Şahin: "We are building a bridge of knowledge between two fraternal nations" **



Delivering a welcoming speech at the opening of the program, Dr. Cemal Şahin, Director of the Jakarta Yunus Emre Institute, expressed his pleasure in hosting Prof. Nevzat Tarhan and his team. Şahin emphasized that the cultural ties between Türkiye and Indonesia are further deepened by such scientific and spiritual gatherings, stating that the intense interest shown by the students is a symbol of the brotherhood between the two countries.

## **From Mevlana to Yunus: Builders of civilization **



Beginning his speech by drawing attention to the spiritual connection between Mevlana and Yunus Emre, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that both figures lived in the same period and laid the intellectual foundations for the establishment of the Ottoman Empire. Tarhan said, "While Mevlana served among the scholars, Yunus Emre reached out to the common people, bringing the same wisdom to them. The secret of the Ottoman Empire bringing peace to the world for 600 years lies in the philosophy of these figures, centered on 'İlay-i Kelimetullah' and 'İlahi Rıza'."

## **Deep analysis of artificial intelligence's answers on Mevlana and Yunus…**



Tarhan began by deeply analyzing the answers to the questions he posed to Artificial Intelligence: “If Hazrat Mevlana and Yunus lived in this era, which method would they use? If we brought Yunus Emre to the present day and he lived in this age, what method would he follow?”

## **The pandemic of the modern age: Loss of meaning and materialism **



Tarhan stated that materialism and atheism are the two biggest global enemies of today's world, adding that these movements drag humanity into a "loss of meaning." Referring to Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's observations on this matter, Tarhan emphasized, "It is a necessity to prove the truths of Islam with the modern sciences of this era. Today's Muslim should live by holding science and technology in one hand and the Quran in the other."

## **Yunus Emre and psychiatry: "The heart is the throne of God" **



Analyzing Yunus Emre's teachings from a psychiatric perspective, Tarhan noted that Yunus's lines "The heart is the throne of God / God looks into the heart" perfectly align with "self-awareness" and "the search for meaning" in modern psychology. Tarhan stated that modern medicine now accepts "spirituality" as a healing parameter, and expressed that Yunus Emre's teachings of simplicity and humility are the strongest antidote against the pandemic of narcissism.

## **A Shirt of Fire: Preserving faith in modern times **



Referring to the Prophet Muhammad’s hadith "Our brothers and sisters of the future," Tarhan described the challenges faced by today's youth with these words: "Living by religion today is like holding fire in one's hand. If you let go of it, you abandon your faith; if you don't, your hand burns. In this age, a youth who has not engaged in major sins is like a saint of old times. To be with God while remaining within society and among the people is the greatest jihad of this era."



The world is a sea, humanity is a ship



Tarhan summarized Mevlana and Yunus's view on worldly possessions with this striking metaphor: "Love of the world is like a sea, and human is a ship sailing within it. Swim in that sea as you wish, but if you let that water (worldly love) into the ship, you will sink. Let money, goods, and property be in your pocket, but never in your heart."

## **Intense interest from students and book signing ceremony **



At the end of the program, which attracted great interest from Indonesian students and educators, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan personally engaged with his readers. 



Tarhan signed his works translated into Indonesian and took souvenir photos with the participants. 



Sincerely answering the questions of the youth, Tarhan thus concluded his Jakarta program with this meaningful encounter.

## **A bridge of science and wisdom between geographies of the heart with a 4-day Indonesia visit **



The four-day Indonesia program of President of Üsküdar University Prof. Nevzat Tarhan was completed with intense interest and significant meetings at every stage, from academic diplomacy to spiritual encounters. 



From the strategic steps taken with the Jakarta Embassy and Paramadina University to the gatherings of thousands at the Istiqlal Mosque and the Yunus Emre Institute, every stop once again proved the universal power of Anatolian wisdom. 



Synthesizing the data of modern psychiatry with the teachings of Mevlana and Yunus Emre, Tarhan not only made an academic sharing but also built a lasting bridge of hearts between Türkiye and Indonesia. 



This program, crowned with the intense interest of Indonesian youth and the academic community, was recorded as a historic visit demonstrating the global resonance of the 'Science and Wisdom' vision.
