| Kitap Tanıtımı | In the many dimensions of his lifetime of achievement, as well as in his personality and character, Bediuzzman was and, through his continuing influence, still is one of the most important figures in the twentieth-century Muslim world. He represented in a most effective and profound way the intellectual, moral and spiritual strengths of Islam, evident in different degrees throughout its fourteen-century history. He lived for eighty-five years. He spent almost all of those years, overflowing with love and ardour for serving the cause of Islam and people, in a wise and measured activism based on sound reasoning and in the shade of the Qur´an and the Prophetic example. The Letters is the second important book of the Risale-i Nur. As is known, it is a tradition among especially Muslim scholars and spritual masters to write letters to their students in remote Jands. At a time when it was too diffucult for the students living far away to visit their masters and benefit from them directly, the masters preferred to write letters. Since Said Nursi spent almost all of his life in exile following 1925 when he was exiled to Burdur and therefrom to Barla, he could communicate to his students mostly via letters, The Letters therefore mostly comprises the answers he gives to the questions that his student asked him on different matters. It contains very precious information about the most subtle matters of Islamic theology, spiritual life and experiences and actual issues. Some of the topics dealt with in The Letters 1 are: - Degrees of life; the location of Hell; blessing in death; - The Prophet´s marriage to Zaynab - The Manifest Book (Kitabun Mübin) and the Manifest Record (Imamun Mubin or Lewh Mahfuz) - Superiority of Qur´anic commandments over modern ones - Why Adam was sent out of Paradise and why Satan was created - Why God sometimes inflicts the innocent with misfortunes - The Divine purpose for the amazing activity in the universe - Miracles of Prophet Muhammad and his greatness (Arka Kapak) |
