Introduction

In this issue, with the headline "The West-Worshipping Kemalist Regime / A Malady Gnawing at Our Soul," we address the current sociological issues that challenge our society’s values and threaten our identity.

Our analyses and interviews regarding the estrangement of society from its roots, its subjection to identity erosion, and the fundamental causes of this corruption aim to make our readers question the state in which the country finds itself.

Our magazine addresses our situation—stemming from the imposition of Westernist Kemalist ideology—by revealing the necessity of restructuring through a return to the historical, cultural, and moral values of Islam.

In this issue, we also include various articles, interviews, and opinion pieces focusing on the spirit of resistance in Islamic societies, framed through the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar. Sinwar’s perseverance and his example of struggle serve as a reminder of the liberating role of the soul and the moral responsibility of resistance.

We offer our readers perspectives necessary for building a healthier and more deeply-rooted society, with Islam at the center, in today’s world.

This issue of the monthly Baran Magazine offers a critique of the Westernist order gnawing at our society, while proposing that the address for individual and social salvation should be sought in Islamic values. We present this new issue of our magazine to your attention with the aim of reminding us of our true values during our country’s process of reclaiming its identity.
