We include here brief extracts
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; from some of the papers presented
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; at the Fifth International Symposium
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; on Bediuzzaman.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Fred A.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; REED&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Journalist, writer - CANADA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I found in Bediuzzaman&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Said Nursi the life of someone who with his life and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; works implicitly challenged this modernist dogma. Not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; because he turned his back on the world, but because he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; had submitted himself to a higher discipline and because&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; he subsisted through an order outside of man. This&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; discipline and order are found in the Qur&#039;an, whose&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; eternal truths have been verified by science.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Kadir&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; CANATAN&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Erasmus University - HOLLAND&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Said Nursi invites us&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; to recognize the clashing forces here so that we may&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; understand the formations in the universe. For him, the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; universe is an arena in which the forces of good and evil&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; clash. These clashes are the basic dynamics causing the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; processes of change ... Just as the clashes occur in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; macrocosm, so in man the microcosm good and evil forces&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; clash. Man&#039;s self is the field of struggle of these two&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; opposing forces.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Doç. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mehmet PAÇACI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ankara University - TURKEY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The method of proof&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; used in the Risale-i Nur is largely similar to that of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the Qur&#039;an. The questions of belief are not explained as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; abstract theories in the Qur&#039;an, but by way of stories,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; parables, comparisons, and other literary devices&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; convincing to the reader. A similar method is used in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Risale-i Nur, and a basic belief such as belief in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; hereafter, which is completely abstract and concerns the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; realms beyond human perception (the Unseen), is proved&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and explained using the life and experiences of this&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; world, with which a person is familiar.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mustafa ULUSOY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Psychiatrist - TURKEY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The subjective&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; experience of emptiness was a feeling Said Nursi was&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; familiar with. The Sixth Letter is a good example of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this. He experiences several sorts of exile or separation&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; one within the other. Separation from his friends and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; relations, separation from the place he was born,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; separation from the beings who abandoned him and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; departed, separation from all beings lost in the darkness&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of the night, and finally the separation of beings on&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; their deaths.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Nevzat&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; KÖSOGLU&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Writer - TURKEY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Almost every page of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the Risale-i Nur mentions or explains man and his&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; position on the earth, his aim, and strengths and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; weaknesses, his fears, loves, and states, or it discusses&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; questions like those studied below. They are all&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; explanations of matters alluded to by Qur&#039;anic&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; verses.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Oliver LEAMAN&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Kentucky University - U.S.A.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Said Nursi does a lot&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; more that just note the differences between what he sees&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; as the materialist point of view, and that of belief. He&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; spends a great deal of time arguing against materialism,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and his arguments take two forms. One is to suggest that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; materialism is rationally flawed because it interprets&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the world incorrectly. These are interesting arguments&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and they run right throughout the writings of the New&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Said.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Süleyman BOLAY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Türkiye Diyanet Vakfi, Ankara - TURKEY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Nevertheless, he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; applauds those capable of experiencing the Unity of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Existence as a way of spiritual journeying. But he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; considers it to be his duty to point out the dangers of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; teaching it to the educated or to atheists. He advises&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; against accusing Muhyiddin al-Arabi of unbelief or&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ascribing this or that to him, even though some of what&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; he said may have inferred unbelief. As was stated above,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; although he himself did not follow the way of the Unity&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of Existence, because he considered the way of the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) to be higher, he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; displayed exemplary tolerance, inviting others to do&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; likewise.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thomas MICHEL S.J.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Secretariat for Interfaith Dialogue - ITALY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Said Nursi does not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; respond to this critique of religion by hurling&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; condemnations. Rather, he admits that some of the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; diagnosis is correct. Religious communities are&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; themselves to blame for the malaise that afflicts them.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He notes six dire illnesses that must be confronted if&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; religious believers are to make a positive contribution&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; to human progress in the coming decades. While noting the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; failures of believers, he also rejects the godless and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; materialist solutions proposed by the critics, which he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; foresees will lead to disaster, a claim which the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; subsequent history of the century proved to be only too&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; accurate.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. &#039;Abd al-Qadir Muhammad AHMAD&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Khartoum University - SUDAN&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The above&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; characteristics of the Risale-i Nur show that it has a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; true share of the Qur&#039;an, and explains it suitably to the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; understanding of the age. ... In this paper we have&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; discussed the dictionary definitions of compassion and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; mercy, and attempted to describe their various sorts as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; put forward in the Risale-i Nur. We saw that Almighty&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; God&#039;s mercy encompasses all beings, even the unbelievers.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; We saw next the mercy of God&#039;s Messenger (PBUH) for his&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; community, and how it is reflected in worldly life and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; will be shown on the Day of Resurrection. We discussed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; then the importance of the kind treatment of parents,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; especially when elderly.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &#039;Abd al-&#039;Aziz CHAHBAR&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tatwan University - MOROCCO&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Said Nursi&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; demonstrates that as a rational being who can comprehend&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the world and universe, man&#039;s true nature can be&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; understood only through belief. Only through belief can&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; man traverse the stages of creation, undertake the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; vicegerency of the earth, ascend the steps of perfection,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and reach high rank by studying and pondering over all&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the bounties of his Sustainer and Lord, Moreover, on&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; attaining to perfection, all the secrets of the creation&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; are unfolded to him.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Alparslan AÇIKGENÇ&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fatih University - TURKEY&quot;The concept of science&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (fann or ilm) is among the key terms used in the writings&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, known as the Risale-i Nur&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Collection. There are some reasons why he pays close&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; attention to sciences and scientific advancement&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; especially in our age. ... Nursi tried to modify the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; concept of science as used in his time. This modification&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; was developed through his understanding of the Qur&#039;anic&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; term ilm. In this way he tried to show that the Islamic&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; conception of science is not only invested with an&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ethical dimension which lays a religious responsibility&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; on the scientist, but also it has an inner meaning in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; sense that science is conceived to reveal the way of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; God&#039;s acts in the universe as we perceive them.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Bekim&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AGAI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bochum University - GERMANY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Looking at the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; contemporary discourse of Turkish Muslims in general and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the followers of Said Nursi in particular, it is obvious&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that science and especially natural sciences take a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; considerable role in their religious discourse. ... In&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this understanding of science man is studying science as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a kind of religious duty, i.e. for the sake of God.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Science explains the nature surrounding man, which, from&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a religious point of view, means the creation. By getting&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; knowledge of the creation man can get knowledge of the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Creator himself, an activity which is seen as the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; religious duty of man. This understanding of science was&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; formed and formulated by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and had a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; great impact on the positions that pious Muslims take in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the structure of Turkish society today.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Cecilia MOREIRA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Psychologist - BRAZIL&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Then a deep&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; questioning came up in my heart: Why do we suffer? Why do&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; we have emotional, mental, and material problems when we&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; have in front of us the Qur&#039;an and the Risale-i Nur, that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; have all the answers we need to make our lives (and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; consequently, our society) full of harmony, health and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; peace? ... Because the Risale is perfect and complete,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; but the reader is the object of transformation, the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; flower to burst into blossom by the exercise of his own&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; transformation towards a higher level of his own&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; being.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. Farid&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; al-ANSARI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sidi Muhammad University - MOROCCO&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Bediuzzaman Said Nursi&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; accords the highest importance to the term the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; relationship of belief or the relations resulting from&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; belief, in which is included the concept of belief in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; sense of its pertaining to the emotions, with its aims of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; reform an renewal. For wide horizons are opened up for a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; person by this relationship; it connect him to the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; absolute; through his particular experiential perception&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of it he traverses the way of servant hood; it becomes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; for him a way of ever-fresh meanings and pleasures.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Fikret KARCIC&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; International Islamic University - MALAYSIA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The Qur&#039;anic discourse&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; on time is characterized by the use of very diversified&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; terminology which indicates the existence of two&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; different kinds of time metaphysical and physical. The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Qur&#039;an emphasizes the importance of physical or&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this-worldly time for man. Said Nursi in the Risale-i Nur&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; discussed both dimensions of time. In metaphysical realm,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; he has related time to Divine Knowledge, Power,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Determining and Creation. In physical realm, he has&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; specifically discussed the influence of time on man and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the world and the importance of present time, which if&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; lost cannot be recaptured.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; George GRIGORE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bucharest University - ROMANIA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Nursi considers that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; one of the aspects of the trust or the responsibility&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; undertaking by the man, through I the manifestation of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; individuality of each man is the key to the Most&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Beautiful Names which represent the quintessence of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; divinity characteristics, and finally, to the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; understanding of Divine Creation.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ibrahim CANAN&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Marmara University - TURKEY&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Love held a special&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; place in Bediuzzaman&#039;s life, in both his reflective&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; thought and in his application of it and his actions. It&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; is also one of the chief principles in the struggle and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; method of service he instilled in those who follow the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; way he inaugurated for serving the Qur&#039;an. ... Love of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; God has an exceptional place in Nursi&#039;s anthropology. For&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; here, man is bondsman. The primary condition of being&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; God&#039;s bondsman is to love Him and to make this love&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; greater than all other loves.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Imtiyaz YUSUF&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Prince of Songkla University - THAILAND&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;This paper illustrates&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the tajdidi links between two illustrious Muslim&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; personalities of the last and their responses on behalf&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of Islam of the Qur&#039;an and Sunnah to the question, what&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; is the relationship between God and human being.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Especially, when the question came under pressure of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; transformation due to the emergence of new&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; interpretations rising from both within the fold of Islam&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; as in the case of Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi and through the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; emergence of modern scientific and technical age in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; case of Said Nursi.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Jane I. SMITH&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Hartford Seminary - U.S.A.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Bediuzzaman Said Nursi&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; wrote with his heart and his imagination as well as with&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; his head and his intellect. One of the reasons that he&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; has endured through the 20th century and into the 21st as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a highly revered interpreter of Islam and the Qur&#039;an is&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; his ability to speak, through his writing, in words that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; are straightforward yet rich in interpretive&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; symbolism.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. Musa&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; al-BASIT&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; al-Quds University - PALESTINE&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Nursi depicts&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; brilliantly the aims of human and explains that the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; effort to achieve these aims causes the model human being&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; to reflect the manifestations of the divine names and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; attributes; indeed, it makes him the point of focus of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; dominical light. The believer who truly proceeds from the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; affirmation of divine unity attains eternal life and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; happiness in this world, employing in the best way the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; faculties for acquiring knowledge with which God has&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; armed him, and the ways of guidance.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Dr.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Yasien MOHAMED&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Western Cape University - SOUTH AFRICA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Said Nursi was a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; contemporary of Iqbal, but there is no reason to suggest&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that they met each other, or influenced each other. It&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; seems that they have both reacted to the intellectual&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; challenges of the twentieth century in essentially&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; different ways. They have both attempted to reconcile the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; apparent contradiction between human free will and divine&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; predestination. Unlike Iqbal, who derived inspiration&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; from modern philosophy, Nursi seems to have been inspired&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; by the classical tradition and used it as a point of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; departure for the challenges of secular modernity.&quot;Thanks so much gencnur.com</blockquote>

He notes six dire illnesses that must be confronted if religious believers are to make a positive contribution to human progress in the coming decades. While noting the failures of believers, he also rejects the godless and materialist solutions proposed by the critics, which he foresees will lead to disaster, a claim which the subsequent history of the century proved to be only too accurate."[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=#cc0000][B]Prof. Dr. 'Abd al-Qadir Muhammad AHMAD[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][B] Khartoum University - SUDAN[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]"The above characteristics of the Risale-i Nur show that it has a true share of the Qur'an, and explains it suitably to the understanding of the age. ...

We saw that Almighty God's mercy encompasses all beings, even the unbelievers.

There are some reasons why he pays close attention to sciences and scientific advancement especially in our age. ... Nursi tried to modify the concept of science as used in his time. This modification was developed through his understanding of the Qur'anic term ilm. In this way he tried to show that the Islamic conception of science is not only invested with an ethical dimension which lays a religious responsibility on the scientist, but also it has an inner meaning in the sense that science is conceived to reveal the way of God's acts in the universe as we perceive them."[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=#cc0000][B]Bekim AGAI[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][B] Bochum University - GERMANY[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]"Looking at the contemporary discourse of Turkish Muslims in general and the followers of Said Nursi in particular, it is obvious that science and especially natural sciences take a considerable role in their religious discourse. ... In this understanding of science man is studying science as a kind of religious duty, i.e. for the sake of God. Science explains the nature surrounding man, which, from a religious point of view, means the creation. By getting knowledge of the creation man can get knowledge of the Creator himself, an activity which is seen as the religious duty of man. This understanding of science was formed and formulated by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and had a great impact on the positions that pious Muslims take in the structure of Turkish society today."[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=#cc0000][B]Dr. Cecilia MOREIRA[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][B] Psychologist - BRAZIL[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]"Then a deep questioning came up in my heart: Why do we suffer?
