Description
Summary:Ali Fuad was born in Istanbul in the last quarter of the 19th century as the son of a regent who was a member of the ilmiye. He passed through the religious and secular education processes of the period and became a member of the ilmiye class. He began working as a civil servant in Adana and welcomed the declaration of the Second Constitutional Monarchy in Istanbul. Five or six months after the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy, he published his views on the relatively religious, moral, and social problems that he encountered in a small epistle titled “İslâmlık Elden Gidiyor”. Between 1909 and 1920, he worked as a district governor in various parts of the Ottoman territory. When he returned to İstanbul, he published his memoirs in periodicals by editing them into short stories. His book, which he compiled by selecting these narratives and published in 1923 under the name Mustafa Kemal Paşa and Köse Hoca, contains remarkable information and comments on the administrative, social, moral, and literary conditions of the Second Constitutional Monarchy and the War of Independence. However, this work does not receive the attention it deserves in academic history and literature writing and, is even attributed to Ali Fuat Cebesoy, Ali Fuat Türkgeldi, and Ali Fuat Bilgen. In this article, this mistake has been corrected, and Ali Fuad’s life story has been revealed with the information and documents used for the first time. His, treatise on Islam has also been re-published in Latin letters and analyze and criticize.
