Ahmed Hulusi

Ahmed Hulusi (born January 21, 1945 in Istanbul , Turkey ) is a Turkish journalist and author who mainly deals with Islam .

Life

Hulusi's youth and school years passed without a deep religious education. He reports that it was only after his father's death in 1963 that he felt called to attend the Friday prayer to keep the rules of Islam on cleansing and prayers. He began with an intensive study of the Koran and the interpretations by scholars, for example in the 11 volumes of Saheeh al-Buchari and the six volumes of al-Kutub as-sitta . In 1965 he made the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca , the Hajj . In the same year he wrote his first book on theological issues entitled Tecelliyat ( Reviews ).

During his journalistic work for the Turkish newspaper Aksam , Hulusi dealt with ghosts and the calling of ghosts and in 1970 he published Turkey's first book on the subject Ruh, İnsan, Cin (Spirit, Humanity, Jinn). To date, he has written over two dozen works, some of them in multiple volumes, on topics related to Islam, some of which have been translated into other European languages. These works deal, among other things, with questions of Islamic mysticism , Sufism and modern science. They were published by the Kitsan Publication Publishing House in Istanbul.

Hulusi's writings are not accepted by traditional, conservative Islamic theologians. In various works his critics try to show that his interpretation of Islam is wrong. For example, it is pointed out that he misinterprets the Koran because he is not a native speaker of the Arabic language.

After the so-called “ postmodern coup ” by the Turkish military on February 28, 1997, Hulusi and his wife went abroad, first to London for a year and then to the USA . There they still live in seclusion in a small town.
