I would have written it sooner if I had accumulated all the necessary information and devised the proper approach and methodology. I felt that much of what has been written and said about the transformation of the Ottoman state and the rise of mod­ ern Turkey (and other Muslim nation-states) ignores some key factors of change or relates them to each other in an incomplete and erroneous fashion. In particular, I thought it faulty to regard modernity and Islam as engaged in a deadly struggle. To do so ignores the impact of the economic, social, cultural, and international factors that created modernity and changed the social political environment in which Islam operated. In other words, Islam and Islamic society need to be considered separately, and the change in society should not be seen as equivalent to the transformation of the faith. Consequently, I have viewed the Ottoman transformation as caused by concrete, tangible factors, both internal and external, and have regarded Islam as an instrument of legitimacy, mediation, balance, psychological support, mobilization, defense, and so on, during the transformation of the community into a new unit of organization, the territory-based nation and state. Islam became the instrument of change and adaptation as much as it was politicized as the ideology of cultural self- preservation and opposition to colonial rule. The approach and methodology of this work were devised to take into account every major domestic and international factor that affected the transformation of the Ottoman society and state as well as to reconsider the true role of Islam and of the sultan-caliph in this process. The involvement, via Islam, of the lower classes in the transformation of the social structure; the changes in the traditional concepts of state, community, faith, and authority; and a series of other topics have been given proper consideration. The book deals with Islamic revivalism as part of the general process of socioeconomic and cultural transformation; it is not meant as a calcu­ lated effort to join the current heated discussion about Muslim fundamentalism. The work is also an effort to present as complete as possible a holistic picture of the Ottoman state—with all its political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions so that the course of Ottoman-Turkish Islamic modernization may be properly understood. vi Preface A substantial part of the work deals with Sultan Abdulhamid II (r. 1876–1909), who is seen as an absolutist ruler and the main force behind the Ottoman modern­ ization and, also as caliph, its legitimizer and the architect of its Islamization. He also successfully maintained the territorial integrity of the Ottoman state during a thirty- year period that was crucial to the modernization process, and he prepared the ground for the rise of modern Turkey. The modern identities that emerged during this trans­ formation were nurtured by grassroots folk religion and culture as much as by the ethnonational models imposed from above by the ruling elites. I commenced work on this book some twenty years ago, when access to Ottoman archives was exceptionally difficult. Since 1989 the use of the archives has been greatly liberalized, and consequently a dozen or more scholars, mostly Turks, have published dissertations and books on the Hamidian period, based in part on the materials used in this work. To the extent possible all these works are indicated in the references. The length of the manuscript forced me to leave out much factual information and elaborating on the meanings behind the facts (although such meaning and implica­ tions may be self-evident to the reader). I would like to thank a few people for their help in preparing this work. The late Hayri Mutluça4’s knowledge of the archives, sources, and documents, as well as his insights into the Young Turks and early Republican eras proved to be of vital impor­ tance. Deniz Balgami3 provided dedicated research assistance and typed various drafts and revisions as did Steve Hahn, whose help was enhanced by his computer exper­ tise. Barbara Husseini provided editorial assistance and advice. I would like to thank the Graduate School at the University of Wisconsin–Madison for its financial help, which made possible several research trips and stays in Turkey. Last but not least, as a person who has paid dearly in his life for his critical and inquisitive mind, I take special pleasure to thank the United States of America for providing me the oppor­ tunity, security, and the environment to work, think, and express myself in full free­ dom. I have used the Turkish spelling of titles and names except for some well- established English usages. A key to Turkish pronunciation has been provided.

    3 MARCH 1924 TEVHID TEDRISAT LAW AND REQUIREMENTS Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özkan Akman Gaziantep University Prof. Dr. Ali Meydan Nevşehir Hacı Bektaşi Veli University Introduction Education and training activities in the Islamic society began with Muhammad’s prophethood, shaped, variegated and has continued until today. God, the Prophet. Muhammad download it in the first verse “read the name of the Lord the Creator! God Man ‘was created out of relevance. Read! Your Lord is the most generous. Allah is taught to write with a pen, do not know who has taught the people (Yazır, 2015; 95:6). “has reported that the Prophet himself in the eyes of God reveals that knowledge of the source and has commanded all believers to read. When the Islamic State began to expand and the Muslim community began to crowded, the education began to spread out of the mosques (Atay, 1983). Due to the increase in the Muslim population, the main purpose of the mosques was to prevent the worship to be done comfortably by the crowded student groups, the emergence of new branches of science (Kırpık, 2012) and the payment of wages to the teachers (Zengin, 2002). These training activities, which can be called informal and non-formal education which has a certain space, hierarchy, curricula and continuity, which are made specific to certain areas, have assumed important functions in Islamic society during the process which will continue until the establishment of madrasahs which are organized for this purpose and which are organized for this purpose (Tangulu, Karadeniz and Ateş, 2014; Zengin, 2002). Although it is accepted that a new era started in education with the establishment of madrasahs, Pedersen says that the madrasas do not differ much from the mosques, and that the same educational activities were continued (Pedersen, 1979).
