Ayfer Tunç, who started her writing career in newspapers and magazines in the 1980s, addresses the difficulties of being a woman in a selfish, opportunistic, hypocritical, greedy, deceitful, and objectifying society in her latest novel, Kuru Kız. The symbolic narrative of the novel allows for both thematic and psychoanalytic examination, which can be interpreted through concepts such as Freud's Oedipus Complex, Kristeva's "abjection," and Arendt's "banality of evil." The connections between these concepts and the novel Kuru Kız are interpreted with examples from the text. There are significant parallels between the harassment of the sister by her brother and the subsequent events, and the mythological story of Oedipus, indicating a psychoanalytic construct where "The Brother" character embodies traces of guilt and abjection. The behavior of the neighborhood residents exemplifies thoughtlessness and lack of judgment, in line with Arendt's concept of the banality of evil. The concepts of abjection and disgust serve as symbols of "resistance" against the evils portrayed by the other two concepts in Kuru Kız's inner monologues. Ultimately, the novel allocates a significant portion of its narrative to the psychological and sociological roots of the evils manifested or endured by Kuru Kız and those around her. The author suggests "taking action" as a way out for women through the message conveyed in the novel. Merely being aware is not sufficient for women to find peace in their lives; they must bravely implement the necessary changes. The novel Kuru Kız contains strong evidence to be considered an example of a female bildungsroman, as it encapsulates the coming-of-age story of a woman. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is information about "hypocrisy" (riyā) in the Qur'ān and hadiths, which are the two main sources of Islam. Hypocrisy is criticized by Allah and His Messenger and it is emphasized that hypocrisy is not regarded as a feature of faith. It is seen that the words riyā and sum'a express the same meaning in classical sources and are often used together. In this study, the words hypocrisy and süm'a were analyzed after mentioning its basic concepts in the context of faith, under the headings of intention, faith, good deeds, sincerity and ihsanbeing related to hypocrisy. The concept of "jah", reffering the ambition for rank and position, which is one of the main factors that lead to hypocrisy and that is mentioned in classical works, was also evaluated. Then the types of hypocrisy, its effect on faith and the treatment of hypocrites were examined. The purpose of this study is to classify and evaluate the subject from a holistic perspective, as much as possible, by analyzing the concepts related to hypocrisy, within the framework of the expressions in the Qur'ān and the Sunnah and the determinations of the ancient scholars.

This study is about Sultan Murad III [d. 1003/1595], it is about the examples of repetition and follow-up art, which he frequently uses in his Turkish Dîvân and Kitâb al-Menamat. However, his name is Murad and he uses the phrases of Murâdî as a pseudonym for the purpose, desire, purpose, etc. of the word. The examples used repeatedly with their meanings will be examined. The language of Murad III letters to his sheikh Şücâ, in which he conveyed daily events, asked what he was wondering about sufism, and shared his spiritual depression and spiritual journey, is quite plain, understandable and far from hypocrisy. The cries he heard when he was in a state between sleep and wakefulness, the facts, the inspirations that came to him; while the dreams he saw are being conveyed, the language suddenly changes, especially the examples of repetition and subordination art are frequently encountered. This is also true for his poems. The language he used in his ghazals outside the sufi valley and the language in his sufi poems were different from each other. This language preference of Murad III will be revealed with examples from his works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the most basic concepts in the religious literature is undoubtedly the concept of ikhlas. In hadiths, religion is expressed as sincerity. This situation basically means that religion cannot be thought of without sincerity (ikhlas) and sincerity. Therefore, when the Qur'an and hadith sharifs are considered, it is seen that sincerity corresponds to a true belief away from polytheism and a sincere servitude that is protected from hypocrisy. In the formation period of Sufism, which we mention to as the internal or inner dimension of religion, the Sufis tried to reinterpret sincerity within the framework of their own doctrines as well as general acceptance. In this respect, from the point of view of the early sufis, sincerity is both a method in terms of sufi education and an influence on the formation of malamah thought. In addition, sincerity is discussed in connection with other mystical concepts. In the article, these issues are mentioned and the meanings attributed to the concept of ikhlas by the sufis in the formation period of sufism are emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become very important due to increasing environmental problems, global crises, and social problems. On the other hand, when there is no fit between an organization's business and CSR efforts, consumers may perceive corporate hypocrisy. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of brand-CSR fit on purchase intention through the mediating role of attitude and the moderating role of perceived corporate hypocrisy in the relationship between brand-CSR fit and brand attitude. The research model was tested with an experimental design. Attitude towards the brand was more positive for the high brand-CSR fit scenario. The brand-CSR fit positively affected the attitude towards the brand and purchase intention. The attitude of the experimental group with low brand-CSR fit towards the brand is also more positive than the control group, in which no CSR activity was mentioned. It has been determined that brand-CSR fit does not directly affect the intention to purchase, but has an indirect effect via the mediation effect of the attitude variable. It has been observed that the moderation effect of perceived hypocrisy on brand-CSR fit and brand attitude relationship is not meaningful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, two schools of thought under the school of Ithnaashariyyah/Imamiyyah; Al-Akhbariyyah and Al-Usuliyyah were compared from the perspective of their disclamation of Imamate and their interpretations on the verses associated with the companions. In the study which was conducted through the comparative textual analysis, it is found out that both of the schools of thought generally bring forward different interpretations on the related verses. According to this, the interpreters (mufasser) from the perspective of the "Usul" interpreted the mentioned verses by considering seyaq, without associating them with the companions. However, the Akhbari interpreters assumed the blasphemy (kufr), hypocrisy (nifaq), apostasy (irtidad) to the companions without considering the seyaq and sebaq of the verse and interpreted the verses partially and word-oriented. On the other hand, it was realized that both Akhbari and Usuli interpreters (mufasser) did not evaluated the verses indicating the virtue of the Companions in this sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
