Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
In the many dimensions of his lifetime of achievement as well as in his personality and character, Bediüzzaman Said Nursi (1877–1960) was and, through his continuing influence, still is an important thinker and writer in the Muslim world. At a time when science and philosophy were tools of an aggressive ideology of secularism, Nursi strove for the revival of an Islamic consciousness. Even though his nonviolent stance was clear, he was seen as a potential danger and exiled to different corners of Anatolia. During the exile, he started writing his magnum opus “Risale-i Nur” (Epistles of Light), by which he aimed to guide people to the truths of faith and make them understand the Qur’an correctly. This book provides a summary of this hard but fruitful life, spent in the way of faith.

Longing for the Lost Caliphate
In the United States and Europe, the word "caliphate" has conjured historically romantic and increasingly pernicious associations. Yet the caliphate's significance in Islamic history and Muslim culture remains poorly understood. This book explores the myriad meanings of the caliphate for Muslims around the world through the analytical lens of two key moments of loss in the thirteenth and twentieth centuries. Through extensive primary-source research, Mona Hassan explores the rich constellation of interpretations created by religious scholars, historians, musicians, statesmen, poets, and intellectuals. Hassan fills a scholarly gap regarding Muslim reactions to the destruction of the Abbasid c...

The Companion to Said Nursi Studies
Contemporary Islamic theology remains a neglected area in studies on Islam. This work is dedicated to the thought and ideas of Said Nursi (1876-1960), one of the most prominent Muslim theologians of the twentieth century. Nursi inspired a faith movement--the Nur community--that originated in Turkey. It continues to play a key role in the revival of Islam and now numbers several millions of followers worldwide. His legacy and impact deserve therefore to be examined more closely. This volume is the most substantial overview in English of the inspiration of Said Nursi and his masterpiece the Risale-i Nur. In the beginning, the essays provide the reader with Nursi's historical context and biography. Then Nursi's theological views, his understanding of society, and ideas on politics are placed under the spotlight. Over the last twenty years, more and more comparative religion specialists in the West have become acquainted with Said Nursi. Nursi studies is now an established discipline, and this volume is a celebration of that reality. As it reveals, Muslims and Christians are grappling with the wisdom of this remarkable, rich thinker.
Spiritual Dimensions of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's Risale-I Nur
The Nur community is one of the most significant religious and social movements in contemporary Turkey, with millions of adherents and a strong institutional and educational system throughout the country. This volume presents a picture of its spiritual dimensions by focusing on the ideas of its founder, Turkish theologian Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877–1960). Prominent scholars in contemporary Islamic studies and comparative spirituality examine the various facets of Nursi's spirituality as revealed in his magnum opus, Risale-i Nur, which began to take shape in the 1920s and is considered Nursi's deep reflection on the Quran in light of rapidly changing conditions in Turkey. Nursi argued that Islam must be organically linked to empire in order to preserve its identity in the modern era, fostering a spiritual tradition that has steadfastly survived the secular project of Kemalism.
Islam at the Crossroads
Sheds light on one of the most important religious thinkers in the modern Muslim world.
Bediüzzaman Teolojisinde Gündelik Hayat
Elinizdeki kitap, dindarların farklı zamanlarda, farklı toplumsallıklarda vermiş oldukları mücadeleler arasında en önemli köşe taşlarından birini oluşturmuş olan Said Nursî'nin öğretisine eğiliyor. Tüm cumhuriyet tarihi boyunca, 28 Şubat sürecine gelinceye kadar resmî tarih anlatısında, milliyetçi-laik medyada "şeriatçı, gerici" olarak nitelendirilen İslâmî hareketin bir bileşeni olarak Said Nursî ve Nur hareketinin neden sürekli bir tehdit unsuru olarak görüldüğünü anlamak için de bu inceleme sağlam bir kılavuz sunuyor. Ali Bedir'in önümüze koyduğu Said Nursî okuması, "sonsuz şimdi"ye hapsolmuş modern insan için, İslâm'ın içinden "sorgulama" imkânlarını, gündelik hayatın sonsuz direniş ve alternatif üretebilme potansiyelini sunuyor. Bu sorgulama imkânlarıyla her insanın ve gündelik hayatın her veçhesinin altında güç ilişkilerinin örtmüş olduğu daha zengin manalar keşfedilebilecektir. Bu sayede "olağan" ve sıradan görülen her kişi, olay ya da eylemin altında "olağanüstü" bir hikâye bulunabilecektir. Ferhat Kentel
