🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Turkish people believe that a guest is 'Tanrı misafiri' (a guest from God). Because of this, it is very rare for someone to be left 'yalnız' if they are known to the community. The phrase is a common slogan in Turkish civil society. It is used to protect individuals who might feel targeted by the state or society. On Turkish Twitter, #YalnızDeğilsin is one of the most frequently used hashtags during social crises or to support celebrities facing backlash. In Islamic tradition in Turkey, it is often said that 'Allah sabredenlerle beraberdir' (God is with those who are patient), reinforcing the idea that a believer is never truly alone.
