- Abstract
The history of humanity has seen major figures who with their views and vision have left deep traces in the courses and social development of a community, but it has also seen giants who have surpassed their geography and blood boundaries to become a heritage of humanity, a colossus of the human race. Such is Mehmed Akif (1873-1936), a monumental poet and thinker who has inspired the cause of a nation and a faith community (ummah), a giant of spirit, personality, character and morality, a great idealist and one of the "constellation of Albanian writers who gave major works to the Ottoman culture."656 As a "child of catalysms", one who has experienced the sadness of the disintegration of a mega-empire, Mehmed Akif was treated improperly for a period in Turkey and in other Ottoman lands for ideological reasons but he is noted in the Turkish and Albanian history as the man who knew to speak his word to his time. The need for his discourse is particularly evident in our time, when a serious national and worldwide Islamic crisis is going on. But that cataclysm made him more mature, driving him to search for the causes and solutions. He has experienced the frustration and deep sorrow of the collapse of ideals. We can say that his environment and the education he received have had a great influence in his development as a poet, as man and as a society-builder through poetic discourse. In his masterpiece Safahat he has eternalized the periods of Ottoman society he experienced.
