Hawzah News Agency- Speaking at the Fourth International Conference on the "Resurrection of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)," organized by the Global Qademoun Assembly on Wednesday, Ozkan emphasized the concept of the "Resurrection of the Ummah," saying the current stage of the Islamic world requires moving past the awakening of scattered nations and advancing consciously toward the "Resurrection of the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH)" — a stage in which Muslim nations go beyond mere sympathy and reach practical, cultural, political, and field-level cooperation.
Referring to the final remarks of the "martyr leader" on the "resurrection of the people," he stated that resurrection in its original and profound meaning is not merely a historical event, but a continuous movement for the awakening of human conscience and a perpetual revolution of the spirit of faith against the accumulation of darkness and arrogance.
Ozkan added that the blood and suffering endured by Muslim nations have not weakened or subdued them, but have instead become a spark for the reawakening of nations and the infusion of a spirit of resistance and dignity into generations that enemies assumed had fallen into negligence and spiritual defeat.
The Marmara University professor, pointing to what he called the "signs of this awakening" across different parts of the Islamic world, said: "This resurrection can be seen in Iran, in the people's steadfastness and adherence to their principles; in Lebanon, in Islamic resistance and Hezbollah; in Iraq, in the presence of the Popular Mobilization Forces in defending sanctities, dignity, and territory; and in Yemen, in the steadfastness of Ansarullah and the Yemeni people in supporting the causes of the Islamic world."
He described Palestine as the "jewel of the crown" of these scenes, saying: "The people of Palestine stand at the forefront of resistance and, with their blood, patience, and steadfastness, have created a human and ideological epic that exposes the face of oppression and arrogance."
Ozkan stressed that these fronts should not be seen as islands separate from one another, adding: "These arenas express the unity of spirit and destiny and show that the artificial barriers built to divide and scatter the Islamic Ummah are collapsing."
Stating that the Islamic world is at a sensitive and fateful stage, he emphasized: "The responsibility of Muslims today goes beyond sympathy and expressions of support. We must move from the stage of awakening scattered nations to the stage of the 'Resurrection of the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH).'"
Ozkan continued: "The Resurrection of the Ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) means, above all, understanding the truth that a threat against al-Quds, Gaza, Sanaa, Baghdad, Istanbul, Beirut, or Tehran is a threat against the identity, independence of decision-making, and sovereignty of Muslims."
He called for moving beyond "mere emotional sympathy" toward practical, cultural, political, and field-level cooperation, saying: "The Islamic Ummah must exit the circle of temporary reactions and take the initiative to build an Islamic and human civilizational project based on justice and to confront the spirit of defeatism."
The Marmara University professor also stressed that this path is not limited to the military arena, saying: "Intellectual, speech, media, and dialogue arenas are also of great importance, and a heavy responsibility rests on the shoulders of elites, thinkers, and aware youth."
Ozkan described the role of these groups in confronting psychological and media warfare, strengthening communication between Muslim nations, and reducing the gaps created by ignorance and prejudice as important, adding: "Thoughts, dialogues, and sentiments must be transformed into sustainable mechanisms for supporting resistance, confronting arrogant narratives, and creating collective awareness."
In conclusion, referring to the martyrdom of resistance leaders and figures, he said: "These sacrifices and spilled blood are a lamp for continuing the path, and however long and hard the night may be, signs of dawn can be seen on the horizon."
Ozkan, emphasizing that nations are alive and undefeatable, stressed the necessity of accepting historical responsibility and moving jointly on the path of the "Resurrection of the Ummah," saying: "The Islamic Ummah must, by setting aside dispersion and joining hands, traverse the path of restoring its position so that justice may spread across the world."
