Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding and a philanthropic businessman, issued a message on the occasion of Berat Kandili.

Asaf Atasoy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asfa Holding, included the following statements in his message;

We are observing the blessed Night of Berat, a night of mercy and forgiveness, together in peace and joy that fills our hearts.

Berat (the Night of Forgiveness) enables Muslims to attain divine grace and blessings, to live with a sense of servitude to God, to be purified from sins, to be forgiving as well as to be forgiven, and to develop a consciousness of pardoning alongside being pardoned.

The Night of Berat prepares us for the month of Ramadan, whose shadow falls upon us, by constantly reflecting on our servitude to God, drawing us closer to Him, strengthening our resolve to obey His commands and prohibitions, and illuminating our darkened hearts.

To benefit from the blessings and grace of this night, and to attain divine mercy and forgiveness, we should consider this night of pardon and salvation as an opportunity.

On the occasion of the Night of Berat, I pray to Almighty God that we may enter the month of Ramadan with hearts cleansed of all mistakes and sins, having received His forgiveness. I congratulate the Night of Berat of our dear nation and the entire Islamic world, especially my esteemed fellow citizens of Erzurum and Istanbul.
