IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST EXALTED
My Beloved People!
My Dear Nation,
This book, written with the help of inspiration sent to my heart by the God who created
this wonderful universe and who is able to do whatever He wills, is Turkmen Ruhnama.
(Ruhnama, Book I)
Saparmyrat Turkmenbashy the Great (1940-2006)
The late President of Turkmenistan and
Author of Ruhnama
"Ruhnama is a new worldview in the sense that it is a spirit that stimulates nature, society, and
people to work. Without a spirit, it is impossible to speak of life; spirit is the source of life."

Friday, July 10, 2009 Great Turkmenbashy writes: One understands the value of one's parents when one grows older. We start thinking about the value of things only after we lose them. But Turkmen girls and boys should recognize the value of their parents beforehand. Fortunate is the child that pays respect to his parents. Being born itself is a blessing. Transforming the Allah-given blessing of life into real happiness depends only on man's ability to do so. Life is a blessing bestowed upon us by Allah. Leading a meaningful life is not only a right but also a duty to us. Allah granted me the chance to lead a life in this world. But Allah deprived me of maternal affection and paternal patronage. Therefore I knew of the value of parents even before I had children. I felt lacking and low in myself compared to my friends when their fathers expressed affection to them. I used to feel bad, in a way inferior, when their fathers would smile at them. Yet Allah provided me with the cure for my suffering. Although I was an orphan, I was given by Allah the spiritual power to overcome inferiority, neediness and loneliness. Allah Himself provided me with parental affection and patronage. Allah Almighty also gave me the chance to convey my experience full of pain to others and to tell them what the homeland meant. My beloved child! Allah is followed by your father in terms of your patronage. Life is led in three castles. One castle lasts for a lifetime, and the other two follow the footsteps of time. The lifelong castle is your homeland. You are in it from your birth till your last day in the world. The second castle is the home you were born and raised in. You are raised with parental affection in this castle. This is a sacred place for you because this place includes your mother and father who provide for you and protect you from evils. You start speaking in this castle. You become mature in this castle. This castle provides you with the necessary means to survive in the third castle. The third castle is the home you establish with your beloved one. This is the life castle that will blossom like a rose and gain meaning. You should always remain indebted to your parents when you are in this castle, and you should express your indebtedness. You should behave consistently and show that your parents raised a good child. Your dignity, reputation, honour, your respect toward them and the services you render to them add to their lives. The daily greeting you express and assistance you provide are signs that express your indebtedness. In this way you obtain the approval of your parents and behave in a way that shows their affection for you was not in vain.
