Abstract

A Müslim believes in Allah and likes things if Allah likes and does
not like if Allah does not like. This love hierarchially spreads
downwards like a pyramid.
This basic love philosophy of Islam is used in the same forms in the
Turkish literature. Poets write poems in which they utter their love and
obedience for Allah, Prophet, the four Caliphs and other great figures
in religion and state.
The Pyramid of love turns upwards where it came out and unites in
the same point. Namely the love for the four Caliphs is actually the love
they utter for Allah and for his Prophet.
