Points

  • Risale-i Nur is like a ship which carries the ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) to the safe seashore.

In this context, it is a global presentation, invitation and guidance movement.

  • Risale-i Nur gets inspired only by Qur’an, and it expresses Islam in the logic of this age.

For this reason, it is a revival movement.

  • Risale-i Nur is a cause which defends and enlivens the truths of Qur’an and the illustrious practices of prophet and struggles against bid’as (renovations) and the successor of the prophet.

Thus, it is a service of Qur’an and Sunnah.

  • Risale-i Nur aims to enliven the spiritual values, perspective, essence and spirit of Islamic civilization.

Therefore, it is a project of construction of a civilization.

  • Risale-i Nur is a genuine and spiritual interpretation of Qur’an which contains the convincing and acceptable answers against all evils and misgivings of the time.

So, it is a clear mercy and comforter for the people of this age.

  • Risale-i Nur calls its students to be “the closest friend, the most sacrificing companion, the most appreciative comrade, the noblest brother” and it imposes the principle of “annihilation in brotherhood”

Therefore, Risale-i Nur is a great brotherhood movement which trains the little brothers of companions.

  • Risale-i Nur trains the souls subjected to the fitnas of the end of time, satisfies the hearts, matures the spirits and convinces the minds.

In this conjuncture, Risale-i Nur is a Qur’anic movement of amendment.

  • Risale-i Nur aims and shows both establishing tawheed in the hearts and assuring the unity and solidarity of those hearts believing in tawheed.

Therefore, Risale-i Nur is a movement of unity and solidarity.

  • Risale-i Nur is compiled neither with the knowledge of the east nor with the science of the west only. It was written by benefiting from the Qur’an directly.

In this respect, Risale-i Nur is a blessed, spiritual bridge which conveys its students to Allah (SWT), the Qur’an, Rasulullah (ASW) and the Sunnah

“Risale-i Nur amends, doesn’t spoil; does improve, doesn’t destroy; does make blissful, doesn’t upset”

Valuable friends, honourable guests,
