The corruption scandals of 2013 and 2014 in Turkey and the swift and heavy-handed response by then prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the ruling AKP party to them have put an ever-increasing global spotlight on the Hizmet movement or what is colloquially known as the Gülen movement. From its origins in Turkey, this movement has grown large and complex, with followers and sympathizers around the world. In this chapter, I will examine the nature of the movement, placing it within the context of a social civic movement, and then explore the often over-looked role that Islam plays in it. The importance of religion in the life of Turks remains strong despite attempts to marginalize it, and as such it is a major player in the shape and nature of the Gülen movement.
