Risal-i Nur, a Great Work



Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (ra) was a deep thinker and a very merciful soul who read the Holy Qur’an deeply and through his reading of it new understandings and thoughts would come to him. He would recite these inspirations to his disciples who would write them down, storing them like gems.

Bediuzzaman first began to write, explaining the truths of the Holy Qur’an, even during the first world war when he lead a band of volunteers as they defended Turkey, teaching even whilst he and his companions were under fire or on horseback. 

These inspired explanations Bediuzzaman made of the Holy Quran developed into a great treatise called the Risale-i Nur, through which he expounded and explained the truths of real Islam in terms that modern people could understand.


Bediuzzaman was a man of worship, agape love and humanity, whose teachings reach beyond his locality and are as beneficial for people of the West as they are for the people of the East.


The Risale-i-Nur explained ultimate truths and demonstrated the superiority of the Divine Inspiration (that lead to the Revelation of the Divine Scriptures such as the Holy Qur’an and Bible) over man made moral and existential philosophies.


Bediuzzaman explained in many ways that the Messages from God (that are the Divine Scriptures) provide the moral and spiritual guidance that people need, whilst science and philosophy can only ever bring true benefits when they are used in harmony with this reality. 

Through the study of the Risale-i Nur we may gain a new understanding of human life and our needs in this modern age.
