Türkmen
keep your morale high and keep good work, prosper and make others and
your country prosper.
Those who will make the Türkmens attain the true
level and status of the Türkmen and work for Türkmenistan will be the
Türkmens themselves.
(16.)
The
real Türkmen should be careful about the clothes he wears and the way
he dresses should be reasonable. His appearance should be pleasing since
Allah is beautiful and the Türkmen should be appropriate for His love.
(17.)
Allah
who created miracles ordered that:
“After
the prophets we sent Christ, son of Maryam, and with him it has been
endorsed that previously sent Old Testament is real. In addition we gave
him the Gospel and with this book gave the shining light that approves
what is said in the Old Testament and the right path.”
(21.)
This
Türkmenistan is trustworthy like the Türkmen’s promise, high-ranking
in honor, sacred like the Türkmen’s home, miraculous like the Türkmen’s
belief.
(28.)
My
wish from the Great Allah is to convert the Türkmen to his essence or
main identity! Beginning from Oguz Han, to the end of the medieval age
with the solidarity and unity, the courage, the patriotism, the equity,
the indulgency, the religion, the language, the culture of the people
known for their great spiritual belief, on into the 21st
century, may you give continuity to my unique nation, my one and great
God! Preserve and save us, Allah, so each Türkmen shall win again the
ethics and customs of our ancestors who were on the true path!
(45.)
Abu Seýit said:
“Just
as there is no bad place to be found on this Earth, as all places were
created by Allah, so there can be no day of bad omen in the days created
by Allah! Your state is the people’s state. Rise up and as long as you
do not deviate from the way of great Allah, and the honesty, justice and
equitability of the Türkmen, then there is no obstacle which you cannot
overcome and there is no castle you cannot conquer.”
(59.)
All
thieves, traitors and criminals should be punished since no one should
attempt to violate rules and prohibitions. Those who are suffering
tyranny should be helped in order to reduce the numbers of tyrants and
merciless people. As it is said, “The ruler who does not
punish the criminal and thief strikes his own caravan and people with
his own hands.” If a ruler does punish crime, he gains absolute
legitimacy.
(90.)
If
our feeling of unity and integrity begins in each family, it will be
very strong.
(170.)
Sin
does not get entrap the Türkmen.
Türkmens
put an infinite border between right and wrong.
(183.)
Halal
(lawful, commended) and haram (unlawful, forbidden) are two
basic categories of Islam. All issues in Islam have been specified as halal
or haram and no issue has not been specified. An idea or
understanding similar to halal-haram existed among Türkmens
before Islam.
The
Türkmen nation likes what is halal, so they do not eat or commit
what is haram for themselves or for their children. The Türkmen does
know that if he commits haram he will be punished immediately. He
also holds that if he is not punished, seven generations of his
descendants will be punished in the future.
(184.)
To
eat something that does not belong to you is like eating a piece of meat
from your own shoulder.
The
thing that Türkmens hate most is haram. I hope that our
honourable people will live within the fold of halal.
May
Türkmen meals be halal!
Halal
elevates the Türkmen towards the sky!
(184.)
May
my Türkmen country be safe and secure
May
happiness be your companion.
(286.)
When
man loses hope, his spirit is drowned and he becomes disappointed. A man
should have feelings of mercy, honesty, justice, spiritual loftiness, an
ideal to maintain integrity, a love of his nation, neighbours, fellow
citizens and his country in his heart.
(288.)
The
first age of the Türkmen Spirit is the period from BC 5000 to AD 650.
The spiritual leader of the nation in this age was Oguz Han. He worked
as a simple and honest Türkmen. The sacred symbol of the era is the ox.
The ox shapes nature through
its own effort. The ox causes Mother Nature to yield crops. The ox moves
the world and society.
The
route led by Oguz Han is one of justice, lawfulness and propriety, and
its features are enthusiasm, courage, forbearance and endurance.
Only
those who persist will reach their objectives.
Oguz
Han is also symbolized by the bull. It represents the skill, cleverness,
maturity and strength of the Türkmen.
(289.)
Show
the difference between the proper and improper; permissible, lawful, and
forbidden, unlawful;
(332.)
Wealth
provides benevolence as long as it remains as a means. When it becomes
an end in itself, it works counter to the good of man and does severe
harm to man, and in the end, destroys man totally. In that case, wealth
acquires that man, and the man himself becomes a tool.
(361.)
The
man who is rich in his modest self and heart is indeed one who does not
surrender himself to wealth, and run after it greedily.
If
the amount of labour spent equals the wealth acquired, then that wealth
will be acquired through halal or proper means.
Wealth
acquired through improper (haram) means is the kind acquired through the
abuse of others.
Proper
wealth comes after honest deeds, and improper wealth follows from
deceit.
Allah
made you wealthy so that you may use what you have for the benefit of
humanity. The best kind of wealth is the one utilized to the benefit of
society.
(363.)
