18 مارس 1915
We have celebrated the annual commemoration of the martyrs of Çanakkale (pronounced Chanakkalé) with a mawlid on Thursday night. The actual day was Wednesday, March 18th.
Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi reminded us of the significance of this battle as the last real jihad authorized by the Caliph, the Sultan in Istanbul. This 19th Crusade to destroy Islam failed as a consequence of about 250,000 martyrs, mostly young men aged 18-25. It marked the triumph of spiritual and religious power over state of the art materialistic power.

القصيدة التي كتبت في أولئك النفر من الشباب الشهداء -إن شاء الله- رحمهم الله رحمةً واسعة:
Çanakkale içinde aynalı çarşı
Ana ben gidiyom düşmana karşı
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale içinde bir uzun selvi
Kimimiz nişanlı kimimiz evli
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale üstünü duman bürüdü
On üçüncü fırka harbe yürüdü
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale içinde bir dolu testi
Analar babalar umudu kesti
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale içinde vurdular beni
Ölmeden mezara koydular beni
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale içinde sıra sıra söğütler
Yüzbaşılar oturmuş asker öğütler
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
Çanakkale içinde toplar kuruldu
Vay,bizim uşaklar orada vuruldu
Of gençliğim ,eyvah
The mirrored bazaar inside Çanakkale
Mother,I’m going towards the enemy
of my youngness,alas !
A long cypress inside Çanakkale
Some of us are engaged,some of us are married
of my youngness,alas !
The smoke covered over Çanakkale
The thirteenth company walked to the war line
of my youngness,alas !
A broken jug inside Çanakkale
Mothers and fathers lost hope
of my youngness,alas !
They shot me inside Çanakkale
They put me into the grave before I died.
of my youngness,alas !
Row upon row of willows inside Çanakkale
The captains sat ,advise soldiers
of my youngness,alas !
Cannons were emplaced inside Çanakkale
Ohh,our sons were shot there
of my youngness,alas !
وفقكم الله ورعاكم
