Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1878-1960 C.E., 1295-1379 Hijri) or Ustadh Nursi, as his followers refer to him, was a great scholar, gnostic, and saint of the fourteenth century of the Islamic calendar. He struggled his entire life to understand, implement, teach, and uphold the message of the Qur’an and the Prophetic example. His unshakable certainty in the truths of faith provided a bastion of refuge and hope for Muslims in the late Ottoman Empire and republican Turkey at times of calamitous defeats and moral collapse that sealed the end of the Ottoman Caliphate. Today, the treasure of knowledge he left behind, the Risale-i Nur, continues to teach and inspire believers all around the world. This episode is based on the brief introduction to Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's life and teachings as provided on the Reflections-rn.org website. Read and interpreted by Mustafa Tuna.
