Necip Fazıl was born on 26 May 1904 in Istanbul; his father was a magistrate. He studied philosophy at the University of Istanbul, then spent a year in Paris thanks to a state scholarship. On his return, he worked in banks while publishing his poems. In 1934, his meeting with the Naqshbandi sheikh Abdülhakim Arvasi transformed his work and his ideas; in 1943 he founded the review Büyük Doğu, which appeared until 1978 and gave its name to a movement. He died in Istanbul on 25 May 1983.
