In a written statement made by the Presidency of Religious Affairs, “A religious official’s shares on social media have caused controversy in the public and caused sadness in our society. The following statements were mentioned:

“Islam is the religion of love, love, compassion and wisdom, but not a language that makes people marginalizing and crushing, it encourages peace, brotherhood and tolerance. The duty of the Muslim is not to hurt people, the truth, beauty and mercy is to tell in the most beautiful style.

Every officer who carries out religious services is responsible for approaching all segments of society with an equal, fair and inclusive understanding. It is unacceptable that no one in Islam is judged or excluded on religious feelings. Especially worship, such as funeral services, should be fulfilled not through personal opinion, but in line with the basic principles of our religion and in mind the peace of society. ”

In this context, our people from our people listen to the sounds that will benefit our unity and solidarity. As the Presidency of Religious Affairs, we will continue to keep the call of mercy and wisdom of Islam in the best way and present it to our society. ”
