After some time he started the job of post guard and Captain in coastal security organisation of Turkey. Tayyip Erdogan was about 12 or13 years old when his parents shifted to Istanbul. Tayyip Erdogan's childhood and early days of his life passed in very hard circumstances.
He tells that he got 2.5 lire pocket money. He used to buy postcards from his pocket money, sell them and spend them to fulfil his needs. He used to walk on the roads of Istanbul and sell a drink made of lemon juice, sugar and water, and sometimes he sold in the streets of Istanbul bakery goods and spend the income on his family and bought his books 📚.
Tayyip Erdogan told on a forum in his speech, sometimes we don't have anything to eat with bread, we eat bread with melon🍈.
He says, in my childhood, when I go to an Islamic school, people said, Why you are wasting your time. you will have no future if you have the education of an Islamic school. Go to a standard school and make your future. I listened to them with silence and go to my school with my books 📚 in my hands.
I learnt the Quran by heart. I completed my matric from the same school in Istanbul. During this, I continued my formal education. I take admission to outstanding University "Marmara". I gained my master's degree in Economics from the University.
In young age, Tayyip Erdogan was found of football. He was from Best players in his city. He has a dream to play in the national team of Turkey.
But his father disallowed him, so he stops playing football forever.
On a visit to Pakistan, he said in front of Imran Khan, that he was also a sportsman.
I have been playing football in past. Tayyip Erdogan has an interest in politics. He started from street-level politics, and then the corporation level.
In 1976 when his age was 22 he was appointed head of Istanbul youth party. After 2 years he married to a woman Amina. He has two sons and two daughters. His daughters are Isra and Samia, and his sons are Ahmed and Bilal. In 1984 Recep Tayyip Erdogan was appointed District head of welfare party of Najmuddin alblqaan. Politics was not a bed of roses 🌹 for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for him it was a way full of hurdles and unbearable circumstances.
In secular Turkey, in those days, it was very difficult to do politics on Islamic theory. Tayyip and his companions have to face the pains to be jailed for many times.
But he and his political workers faced it bravely.
In 1994, the municipality election of Istanbul City was held. In this election, the majority was taken by those who were doing politics on Islamic theory.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan was appointed as the mayor of the city.
At that time, Istanbul City was facing the problems of traffic, pollution, shortage of water, uncleanness. Istanbul was not only the capital of the Government of Turkey but the capital of crime also.
In the only two years, Recep Tayyip Erdogan made it a crime-free City. He started many development projects in Istanbul. He uprooted corruption from the city. Istanbul government paid the debt of 2 million dollars. Istanbul became one of the best cities in the world 🌎. It was the winning of the politicians of Islamic idealogy.
But at that time, in the Central Government of Turkey secular political parties were in power.
They were worried about the popularity of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Because a popular leader like Recep Tayyip Erdogan was becoming a dread for them. In 1998 a public meeting was held and Recep Tayyip Erdogan was the chief guest. In this meeting, he recited an Islamic poem in a sentimental accent. The lyrics of the poem were:
The mosques are our cantonments.
Cupolas are our shields 🛡️.
Minars are our pikes.
And Muslims are our soldiers.
In secular Turkey recitation of such poem become a crime for him.
He not only lost mayorship, but he was prisoned for four months. But he didn't lose heart. He carried on his political struggle.
He laid foundations of a new political party "Justice and Development". In the election of 2002, Tayyip Erdogan's party got record-breaking votes and surprised to their opponents. His party won in the whole of Turkey with 2 third majority.
From that time Tayyip Erdogan's party is ruling in Turkey. In 2002 Recep Tayyip Erdogan started a new journey of development and take an oath as prime minister. After coming in power, Erdogan's party removed the law of the restriction of religion, hijab of women was also included in it.
In the hearts of people who loved Islam, Tayyip Erdogan becomes a hero. At that time, the newly elected prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan faced many hardships in his journey, but he didn't lose heart.
In those days Turkey was facing an economic crisis, Erdogan took Turkey out from this crisis. He started the journey of the development of Turkey. In presence of the opposition of the army and beurocracy, he carried on working.
He worked hard with his team, and they changed the destiny of Turkey. In 2007 election nation once again elected him.
In 2011 doing hatrik he became prime minister the third time. but after a short time, he became president of Turkey.
In the parliamentary election of 7th June 2015 Justice and Development party succeed to get 41% votes. Erdogan once again elected authorised President of the Republic of Turkey.
At the night of 15 July 2016, a part of the army did rebellion and enforced martial law in Turkey.
On Erdogan's appeal, the public came out on the roads and they defeated the rebellion.
In this unsuccessful rebellion, 161 people died and more than one thousand people wounded.
After this popularity of Erdogan increased very much and internationally he gained recognition of a powerful head of state.
If we talk about today, Sir Tayyip Erdogan is not only popular in Turkey but he is popular in the whole world.
And the way he talks about the rights of Muslims has made him universally a great leader of Muslims.
