course, this is the opportunity for the Türkmen to expand his spirit and significance. If we do not appreciate this opportunity and duration, as we ought, we will be held responsible before Allah for abusing the trust of Allah. So the characteristics of recklessness, indifference, laziness, and apathy do not suit the Türkmen personality. Each nation is a rose planted by Allah in the garden of the earth. For Allah, each individual and nation has a unique scent. We cannot be the cause of the fading of our bloom before its due time. Hence, we must hasten confidently towards our aims.   

 

Türkmen is a nation cherished and beloved by Allah. I understand this truth from this fact: since Allah the Most Exalted loves the Türkmen nation, he has let them live for  5000 years. If he didn’t love them, he would have removed them from history. For this reason, the Türkmen nation bears the great duty of preserving our religion, belief, national dignity, and national values; and the duty to transmit them to future generations without any change.

For 5000 years, Türkmen people have lived through all kinds of events. We have saved our Türkmen identity. We did not give up the struggle in difficult times, or become pitiful; we did not become arrogant in happy times. For this reason, Allah Taala has loved the Türkmen nation.

 

In the Golden Era, we must be stable and constant individuals like our ancestors. We must be constant, stable, serious, noble, and modest. We must be so because these qualities are vital to the development of spiritual loftiness and affluence.
