vided religious guidance to the Muslims.
In our day, too, a progressive central authority
could be formed. Establishing a Turkish-Islamic
Union and a central Islamic authority, based on
democratic principles and the rule of law, would be
major steps forward in resolving the Islamic world's

current problems.
As we progress through this book, we will an-
alyze several aspects of this proposed Turkish-Is-
lamic Union, such as its ability to:
1- Possess a conception based on the love, af-
fection, brotherhood and compassion required by
the moral values of the Qur'an, aim to watch over

and protect everyone and provide a high quality
and prosperous standard of living to all.
2- Have a democratic and laic nature and con-
struct a union of hearts that maintains the unitary
structure of all states in bringing the Turkish-Is-
lamic world together under a spiritual leadership.
3- Reach all of the Islamic world. Therefore, it
must be founded upon Islam's core principles and
not become the organ of a particular denomination

or sect.
4- Support human rights, democracy, and free
enterprise, and seek to achieve its mission of eco-
nomic, cultural, and scientific development in the
Islamic world.
5- Establish friendly and harmonious relations
