REGAIP KANDILI, CONQUEST OF MECCA AND NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM RECTOR HACIMÜFTÜOĞLU
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hacımüftüoğlu, the Rector of Ataturk University, issued a message in anticipation of the commencement of the sacred three months, the Conquest of Mecca, and the new year. The following phrases were employed by Rector Hacımüftüoğlu in his message:
"I sincerely extend my congratulations to our beloved nation and the entire Islamic world on the commencement of the blessed three months, the Recep Month and Regaip Kandili, the anniversary of the Conquest of Mecca, and the arrival of the new year."
This unique period is a significant time that provides an opportunity for spiritual renewal and reinforces our sense of unity, solidarity, and brotherhood. The conquest of Mecca is a significant turning point in history, as it not only conquered a city but also souls, and the message of peace and tolerance of Islam was disseminated throughout the globe. Simultaneously, it is our sincerest hope that the spiritual atmosphere that is a result of the abundance of the past three months will serve as a unifying factor in our petitions.
Although I hope that 2025 will bring peace, tranquilly, health, and pleasure to our country and humanity, I would like to reiterate that we, at Atatürk University, will continue to serve our nation and civilisation with determination and travel in the light of science and wisdom.
Our new year is filled with health and tranquilly, and our three months have been graced by the joyous Conquest of Mecca. I extend my most sincere respect and affection to all of my fellow citizens and our university family on this special day.
Professor Dr. Ahmet HACIMÜFTÜOĞLU Rector
