Another one wonderful book

        Publishing Department at Grand Mufti’s Office published the book “Stress and religious belief” of the famous Turkish philosopher and theologian Prof. Dr. Necati Öner.

In this small-sized but big in significance book the author introduces us to the reasons for the stress, the methods to overcome it and the role of religion and religious belief in our fight against it.

        The book is especially for those who have tasted the bitterness of stress, for those who are trying to combat it and for those who want to learn about the philosophical and religious methods for overcoming it.

       …Undoubtedly one of the most current diseases of our times is stress. The developing technologies and the civilizational progress even though providing comfort and many facilities for people, at the same time give rise also to certain problems. Comparing to the past the modern person even if feeling more cozily and more comfortably, can barely say to be happier.

          Sometimes people give millions in order to fight this terrible disease but sometimes even the best specialists remain powerless before it. One of the reasons due to which one cannot overcome stress and fear is receding from religion and religious beliefs…
