Who is Said Nursi?

One of the greatest Islamic scholars,Kurdish , spent his
entire life inviting people to believe in one God and to
live by the morality stated in the Qur'an . He suffered
great hardship in this cause, but was always
pleased with his lot and met every difficulty with faith
in God,
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi(1877 -1960 ) Heard that a
British Secretary for the Colonies had even said in a
newspaper: "So long as the Muslims have the Qur'an ,
we shall be unable to dominate them. We must either
take it from them, or make them lose their love of it. "
Such threats caused him to declare: "I shall prove and
demonstrate to the world that the Qur'an is an
undying, inextinguishable Sun!" thus he decided to
write his masterpiece, Risale-i Nur.

What is Risale-i Nur "Message of light"?

The Risale-i Nur collection is a six-thousand -page
commentary on the Quran written by Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi in accordance with the mentality of the age.
Since in our age faith and Islam have been the objects
of the attacks launched in the name of so called
science and logic, Bediuzaman
Said Nursi therefore concentrated in the Risale-i Nur
on proving the
truths of faith in conformity with modern science
through rational proofs
and evidence, and by decribing the miraculous aspects
of the Quran that
relate primarily to our century.
May Allah bless him and give him Paradise as his
everlasting home for his efforts to raise Islamic Glory.
