Said Nursi's Views on Muslim-Christian Understanding

By Prof. Dr. Thomas Michel

 

Abstract:

When Nursi speaks explicitly of, he is first of all thinking of the way that God communicates His message to humankind. Dialogue is seen as an aspect or style of the Qur'an. When God reveals His world thought the prophets, God is engaging humans in a process of discovery whereby they learn what they would not otherwise know and, in revealing His word to humans, God elicits a response on part of the person who studies the Qur'an.

This dialogical nature of the Qur'an is, for Nursi, a sign of the miraculous nature of the Qur'an.
