His philosophy of life

While explaining his philosophy of life built on hopefulness and sharing hope, he says: “Hopefulness is not a pure optimism. It is not to ignore the tragedy that humanity faces. Hope means seeing every possibility and doing your best for good rather than sitting at your house and cursing evil.” 

Hakan Mengüç argues that it is enough for even one person to believe in the continuity of hope on earth. “Moreover, this person can be you,” he says. “Then, you will continue to expand to become another “you” and another “you” and turn into “we”. 

“Ney (Sufi flute) is not an ordinary instrument; it is a mediator that contacts you with divinity.”

That is why Hakan Mengüç has adopted the idea of “Burn a candle instead of swearing in the darkness…” And as his teachers suggest, the young writer, who aspires to make efforts to enlighten others with the candle he lights, wishes to encourage others to light new candles on this path. 

As Rumi said: “When a candle ignites another candle, it does not lose anything from its own light. On the contrary, it leads to the enlightenment of the darkness. ”

“When a candle ignites another candle, it does not lose anything from its own light. On the contrary, it leads to the enlightenment of the darkness. ”

What is Sufism?

“As you start to walk on the way the way appears”

Sufism is the philosophy of being a good human being. As you may know, the most recognized Sufi is the famous poet Rumi whose poems are used by many writers and have inspired many spiritual teachings. Sufism might best be explained by his saying “You can be anything in life, but the important thing is, to be a good human” He reminds us that being a good human being is more important than your positions and titles. Being a human means accepting and loving all people equally, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or language, The Sufis say: “The Creator does not care for the outer form, instead cares for the love within your love.” 

“The Creator does not care for the outer form, instead cares for the love within your love.”

The core of Sufism is oneness. We are all part of this great, mysterious and outpouring of love that we call creation. The famous Sufi says “You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.” 

Everything in creation is an expression of incredible love. Sometimes, we can see this visibly through the nature. Sometimes it’s in poverty and in suffering, where it’s less visible. The Sufis say; “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Thank you so much for listening.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.”

Last but not least, the Sufis say “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

What did they say about Hakan Mengüç?

“I am writing Hakan Mengüç’s books as a prescription for my patients.”

M.D. Zeynep Demirçay

Hakan Mengüç has a character that is well suited to the definition of his work … Patient, lenient and tolerant towards every thought. Hakan internalized every technique he applied and completely processed it. I think this makes him even more special and privileged … ”

– Psy. D. Esra Ezmeci

“When I watched Hakan Mengüç at the seminar for the first time, I thought he had a special light given by God. He illuminates people with this light and touches their hearts. ”

– Ferhat Atik, Award Winning Writer-Director

“Hakan Mengüç is one of the pioneers of the Sufi philosophy in the 21st century.”

– Serhat Akpınar, Founding President of Girne American University
