Uganda\u2019dan Bir Tan\u0131kl\u0131k <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"4342 y\u0131l \u00f6nce Uganda\u2019da do\u011fdum. Ailem, A\u011fa Han \u00f6nderli\u011finde bulunan ve \u0130smaililer olarak adland\u0131r\u0131lan bir M\u00fcsl\u00fcman inanc\u0131na ba\u011fl\u0131yd\u0131, do\u011fal olarak ben de bu inan\u00e7 ile yeti\u015ftirildim. Evlendi\u011fimizde, kar\u0131m herhangi bir inanca ba\u011fl\u0131 olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131ndan benim inanc\u0131ma kat\u0131ld\u0131.<\/p>\n

Kar\u0131m\u0131n inanc\u0131ma kat\u0131lmas\u0131, benim i\u00e7in sonun ba\u015flang\u0131c\u0131 oldu. Kar\u0131m inanc\u0131m hakk\u0131ndaki bilgilerini \u00e7o\u011faltt\u0131k\u00e7a, ben de kendi inanc\u0131m ve bu inanc\u0131m\u0131n neleri kapsad\u0131\u011f\u0131 hakk\u0131nda daha \u00e7ok \u015fey \u00f6\u011frendim. \u0130smaililer, di\u011fer t\u00fcm M\u00fcsl\u00fcman inan\u00e7lar\u0131nda oldu\u011fu gibi, genellikle Arap\u00e7a dilinde dua ederler. Bu nedenle, kar\u0131m\u0131n Arap\u00e7a \u00f6\u011frenmesi gerekti ve \u201cdua salonu\u201d olarak adland\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z toplant\u0131 yerine girmesine izin verilmeden \u00f6nce kar\u0131m, belirli s\u0131navlardan ge\u00e7mek zorunda kald\u0131. Kar\u0131m\u0131n \u00f6\u011frenmesi gereken \u015feylerin \u00e7o\u011funu her nedense, ben hi\u00e7bir zaman \u00f6\u011frenmemi\u015ftim.<\/p>\n

1994 y\u0131l\u0131nda, Earls Court\u2019da on binlerce ki\u015finin \u00f6n\u00fcnde evlendi\u011fimizde, nik\u00e2h\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 A\u011fa Han\u2019\u0131n kendisi kutsam\u0131\u015ft\u0131; bu durum \u00e7ok az \u00e7ifte nasip olan b\u00fcy\u00fck bir ayr\u0131cal\u0131kt\u0131. Bu ayr\u0131cal\u0131\u011f\u0131 ya\u015fad\u0131ktan sonra \u0130smaili inanc\u0131 ile daha yak\u0131ndan ilgilenmemiz gerekti\u011fini hissettik. \u0130\u00e7 varl\u0131\u011f\u0131mda hala huzursuzdum ve Tanr\u0131\u2019y\u0131 ger\u00e7ekten izleyip izlemedi\u011fimi merak ediyordum.<\/p>\n

Genelde e\u015fimin yard\u0131m ve deste\u011fi ile inanc\u0131m\u0131 ara\u015ft\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m bu d\u00f6nemlerde, \u0130ngiltere Manchester\u2019da, ayn\u0131 inanc\u0131 payla\u015fan ki\u015filerin topland\u0131klar\u0131 A\u011fa Han Merkezi\u2019ndeki \u0130smaili inanc\u0131 y\u00f6netiminde \u00f6nemli bir konuma sahip bulunuyordum.<\/p>\n

\u00d6yk\u00fcm\u00fc fazla uzatmak istemiyorum; bir g\u00fcn Tanr\u0131\u2019dan do\u011frudan \u015fu istekte bulundum: \u201cE\u011fer do\u011fru yolda de\u011filsem, bana do\u011fru yolu g\u00f6ster, ya da e\u011fer do\u011fru yoldaysam, bunu onayla ki bileyim.\u201d Ancak Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n bu soruma ger\u00e7ekten yan\u0131t verece\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnm\u00fcyordum, ama ilerde beni \u015fok edecek olaylar ile kar\u015f\u0131la\u015faca\u011f\u0131mdan elbette haberim yoktu. Bu arada size o d\u00f6nemde inan\u00e7 de\u011fi\u015ftirmek gibi bir d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncem olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 belirtmek isterim. Bilmek istedi\u011fim tek \u015fey, y\u00fcr\u00fcmekte oldu\u011fum yolun beni Tanr\u0131\u2019ya g\u00f6t\u00fcr\u00fcp g\u00f6t\u00fcrmedi\u011fiydi. Uzak Do\u011fu\u2019ya yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131m i\u015f seyahatlerinden birisi s\u0131ras\u0131nda kendilerini \u201cyeniden do\u011fmu\u015f\u201d H\u0131ristiyanlar olarak tan\u0131mlayan ki\u015filer ile tan\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. Ben bu t\u00fcr kar\u015f\u0131la\u015fmalar\u0131n rastlant\u0131 oldu\u011funa inan\u0131rd\u0131m. \u201cYeniden do\u011fmu\u015f\u201d H\u0131ristiyan ifadesinin ne anlama geldi\u011fi hakk\u0131nda en ufak bir fikrim bile yoktu. Daha \u00f6nce hi\u00e7 kimse bana b\u00f6yle bir inanc\u0131 a\u00e7\u0131klamam\u0131\u015ft\u0131.<\/p>\n

Bu yolculuk s\u0131ras\u0131nda ba\u015f\u0131ma \u00e7ok garip \u015feyler geldi. Ama \u015fimdi anl\u0131yorum ki, o zaman ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131m bu olaylar\u0131n hepsi Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n, duama verdi\u011fi bir kar\u015f\u0131l\u0131kt\u0131 ve Tanr\u0131 ilerde olacaklar i\u00e7in beni haz\u0131rlamaktayd\u0131.<\/p>\n

Seyahatim bittikten sonra geri d\u00f6nerken, Tanr\u0131\u2019dan, bana do\u011fru yolu g\u00f6stermesini daha s\u0131k istedi\u011fimin fark\u0131na vard\u0131m. Ve bir kez aniden hi\u00e7 beklemedi\u011fim bir \u015fekilde duam\u0131 \u201cBaba, O\u011ful ve Kutsal Ruh\u2019un ad\u0131yla\u201d diyerek bitirdim.<\/p>\n

Bir sabah, bu duam\u0131n yan\u0131t\u0131n\u0131 hi\u00e7bir ku\u015fkuya yer vermeyecek bi\u00e7imde ald\u0131m. \u0130ncil\u2019den bir b\u00f6l\u00fcm okuyordum. Her \u015fey \u00e7ok basit bir \u015fekilde ger\u00e7ekle\u015fti. Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n benim i\u00e7in do\u011fru olan yolunu bile anlayabilmi\u015ftim. O ana kadar Kutsal Kitap\u2019\u0131n mesaj\u0131n\u0131 tam olarak kavramam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m ama art\u0131k biliyordum.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u0130sa, \u2018Yol, Ger\u00e7ek ve Ya\u015fam Ben\u2019im\u2019 dedi. \u2018Benim arac\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131m olmadan Baba\u2019ya kimse gelemez.\u201d (Yuhanna 14:6, \u0130ncil)<\/p>\n

\u0130ncil\u2019i okumay\u0131 b\u0131rakt\u0131m ve Yol, Ger\u00e7ek ve Ya\u015fam Olan\u2019\u0131 ya\u015fam\u0131ma ald\u0131m. Bu \u00e7ok g\u00f6rkemli bir deneyimdi! \u0130\u00e7 varl\u0131\u011f\u0131m ani ve b\u00fcy\u00fck bir de\u011fi\u015fime u\u011fram\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Bir insan\u0131n, Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n bu de\u011ferli arma\u011fan\u0131 olmadan nas\u0131l ya\u015famak isteyebilece\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcp \u015fa\u015f\u0131rd\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 hat\u0131rl\u0131yorum. Ke\u015fke biri \u0130sa\u2019dan bana \u00e7ok daha \u00f6nce s\u00f6z etmi\u015f olsayd\u0131! Ya\u015fad\u0131\u011f\u0131m bu b\u00fcy\u00fck de\u011fi\u015fimden sonra benimle kar\u015f\u0131la\u015fan herkesin benim sahip oldu\u011fumu ve buna kendilerinin de sahip olabileceklerini bildi\u011fine eminim. Gerekli olan tek \u015fey, buna ger\u00e7ekten ihtiyac\u0131n\u0131z oldu\u011funu bilmek ve buna sahip olmay\u0131 istemektir. \u0130sa\u2019dan t\u00fcm g\u00fcnahlar\u0131n\u0131z\u0131n ba\u011f\u0131\u015flanmas\u0131n\u0131, sonsuz ya\u015fam\u0131 ve Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n esenli\u011fini alabilirsiniz. T\u00fcm bunlar\u0131n kayna\u011f\u0131 \u0130sa\u2019d\u0131r.<\/p>\n

Din ve Tanr\u0131 bir arada olamazlar. Bunu \u015fimdi anl\u0131yordum. Din- hangi din olursa olsun- Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n iyili\u011fini kazanman\u0131z i\u00e7in pek \u00e7ok \u015fey yapman\u0131z gerekti\u011fini s\u00f6yler. Tanr\u0131 ise, dindar ki\u015filerin yapt\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131n hi\u00e7 biri ile ilgilenmez. Tanr\u0131, bizi, insan i\u00e7in kendi yapt\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131n temelinde kutsar ve bize hak etmedi\u011fimiz iyili\u011fi vermek ister. Bu ger\u00e7e\u011fi anlaman\u0131z umar\u0131m uzun s\u00fcrmez. \u0130sa\u2019n\u0131n \u0131\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131 ya\u015fam\u0131n\u0131zda parlad\u0131\u011f\u0131nda, dininizin t\u00fcm talep ve uygulamalar\u0131 ger\u00e7ek karanl\u0131k y\u00fczleri ile ortaya \u00e7\u0131karlar. \u0130sa\u2019n\u0131n \u0131\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7inizdeki karanl\u0131\u011fa dokunmad\u0131k\u00e7a, bu karanl\u0131\u011f\u0131 hi\u00e7bir zaman anlamayacaks\u0131n\u0131z. \u0130\u00e7inizdeki bu karanl\u0131\u011f\u0131n varl\u0131\u011f\u0131ndan daha \u00f6nce haberiniz olmam\u0131\u015f olabilir, ama karanl\u0131k orada, i\u00e7inizdedir.<\/p>\n

\u201cHepimiz murdar olanlara benzedik. B\u00fct\u00fcn do\u011fru i\u015flerimiz kirli adet bezi gibi.\u201d (Ye\u015faya 64:6, Eski Antla\u015fma)<\/p>\n

Yeni ya\u015fam\u0131m\u0131n o ilk sabah\u0131ndan bu yana pek \u00e7ok \u015fey oldu. \u0130sa, ya\u015famlar\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 tamamen de\u011fi\u015ftirdi. Evet, \u015fimdi e\u015fim de Tanr\u0131\u2019n\u0131n l\u00fctfu sayesinde bu do\u011fru yolda beni izlemekte. Bir zamanlar, benim ger\u00e7e\u011fi aramakta oldu\u011fumu bilmiyordu. Bir kez, kar\u0131ma eski inanc\u0131m\u0131zda putlara tap\u0131nd\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 anlat\u0131rken o kitapl\u0131\u011f\u0131n raflar\u0131n\u0131n birinden bir kitap ald\u0131 ve bana eski inanc\u0131m\u0131z\u0131n Tanr\u0131\u2019ya giden do\u011fru yol olmas\u0131 gerekti\u011fini g\u00f6sterdi. Yine de e\u015fimi bu dine y\u00f6nlendiren ben olmu\u015ftum.

Eskiden ne kadar b\u00fcy\u00fck bir yan\u0131lg\u0131 i\u00e7inde oldu\u011fumuzu konu\u015fuyoruz. Art\u0131k evimizde, i\u015fimizde ve g\u00fcnl\u00fck ya\u015famlar\u0131m\u0131zda diri Tanr\u0131\u2019ya sahibiz.

Yeni ailemiz, kilisede bulunan t\u00fcm imanl\u0131lardan olu\u015fuyor. Kilisemizin \u00f6nderini ve e\u015fini, \u00f6nceden kaybetmi\u015f, ama \u015fimdi bulmu\u015f oldu\u011fumuz dostlar\u0131m\u0131z olarak g\u00f6r\u00fcyoruz.
