Fethullah Gulen, who died at 83 in Pennsylvania, had a significant impact as a cleric and education reformer, promoting a liberal interpretation of Islam.
His Hizmet movement, which originated in Turkey, expanded globally with over 2,000 schools in 160 countries, valued for their educational standards.
Gulen's dedication to interfaith dialogue and education was evident in his lifelong ambition to reconcile religion with modernity and promote global understanding.
Despite being viewed as a religious leader, many regarded Gulen as a key power broker in Turkish politics, influencing major political reforms through his network.
