Prof. Dr. Mahmud Es'ad COSAN, whose name was given to our foundation, made the last divine message of our Creator the focal point of his life in terms of perfect belief, perfect thought and a perfect lifestyle; he is the true heir of the prophets, great spiritual leaders and thinkers; the leader of science, ideology, and of the hearts who understood, explained and represented the most valuable figures of faith and our history of culture such as Ahmad al Yesevi, Mavlana, Hadji Bektashi Wali, Yunus Emre.

On the other hand, he believed that real life is the life of the Hereafter, recommended this to others, and invited people to Allah and the truth day and night never giving up or losing heart; he pioneered the material and spiritual development of our country, and continues to enlighten the hearts and minds with his scientific, literary and sincere articles and sermons that are still published via various communication channels, and lastly he is high-spirited, action-oriented community leader.

Indeed, when his works such as '' Historical and Sufistic Figures '', '' Yunus Emre and Sufism '', '' Hadji Bektashi Wali '' and also '' Hadji Bektashi Wali and His Maqalat '', and his conferences, articles and poetical works are examined, this fact becomes even clearer.

In this respect, Prof. Dr. Mahmud Es'ad COSAN is our common value that every person of good intent will appreciate, and owes a debt of loyalty and gratitude.

As a foundation, we give great importance to publishing the valuable messages that we have selected and compiled from the collection of Mahmud Es'ad COSAN on our website in widely-used languages.
