Sabah Yıldızı - Sezai Karakoç ve Diriliş'e Dair

Morning Star - Book Description on Sezai Karakoç and Resurrection The name of this work about Master Sezai Karakoç and Resurrection is Morning Star. This name is inspired by the 7th book of Sezai Karakoç's poems, The Hour of Destiny. The poem was written between 1979 and 1988, with the daily news and testimonies of the massacres and oppression inflicted on the Islamic world and Muslims. The current deplorable situations of Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut, Afghanistan, Africa, the Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Turkestan... are described. In some parts of the poem, the Poet speaks to the Morning Star as two friends with the same knowledge and consciousness. We know the Morning Star from the Poet's verses: "He is the one who shines like the single white spot of our destiny, the pure, spotless, innocent and pure one that the night (darkness) cannot reach. He is the indivisible brightness and indivisible light that reaches the secret of the heart before the day, does not turn yellow with the breath of the day. He is It is the star of resurrection and the great witness of belief in God..." Every morning, the Poet pours out his heart to the Morning Star and shares his sorrows. Perhaps the main reason for this is told by the poem: "Although the whole world is condemned, our arms and wings, all around us, are chained, only the morning star is free." Those in the world are condemned, some because they make the lives of the oppressed miserable and some because they do not fight against the darkness. He is free because he can shine his lights and faithfully inform people of the dawn every morning. Just as the poet is saddened by the occupations, massacres and oppression in the world, Morning Star is also saddened. But the Poet's heart is not happy with the Morning Star being sad. He should not be upset; Because he is innocent, he constantly fulfills his duty every morning. The poet consoles the Morning Star as a dear friend so that her innocence is not harmed. In fact, everything is told to us throughout the poem. What poetry reveals through art shows us ourselves and points to people, like Attar's Simurg. Isn't it true that the poet wrote it for us, the real addressee of all the stories is us, us humans. All that is written is for us to become aware of our duties and responsibilities. Because all these things happened because of those who were not aware of it. If they were aware, precautions would be taken, for example, Muslims would be united, what needs to be done would be done. After this statement, we can say that what Master Sezai Karakoç expresses in all his works, from poetry to thought, is always a conversation with the morning star on our behalf. Just as the herald of the fresh morning, the morning star that pierces the darkness of the night with its bright light, is the proof that darkness will turn into light with the dawn, I think this is the mission of Master Sezai Karakoç's works: To bring light to the darkness in consciousness, minds and souls. In fact, every word and every action that will be for the benefit of humanity is a light that pierces the darkness. Sezai Karakoç has revealed this in his entire work and tried to fulfill his responsibility of being the herald of light and dawn like the morning star. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
