I pray Allah that the Night of Power will be blessed for the Turkish World, the Islamic world and humanity, and that all your prayers will be accepted."
Religious Services Counselor Mürsel Öztürk said, “The Month of Ramadan is a month in which all worships are intense, except for the pilgrimage. Prayer is intense, namaz is intense, the Qur'an is intense, goodness and goodwill are intense... At least there is fitra. In other words, the month of Ramadan is actually a wonderful, perfect month in which all these worships are intense. Now we have come to the end of this month. Happy holidays in advance. I hope the Night of Power will be blessed for all of us."

I hope every night of yours is as blessed, holy and important as in the Night of Power. Let every day be a day where you live a thousand-year life. On the occasion of the Night of Power, I hope you will be one of those people who know the value and dignity of our spiritual values, religion, national values, homeland and flag."
