The  Risale-i Nur is a Qur’anic commentary that makes substantial  contributions to the Islamic tradition especially in the fields of  dialectical theology (kalam) and Sufism (taṣawwuf) but also offers  important insights about the methodologies (uṣūl) of the sciences of  Qur’anic exegesis (tafsīr) and prophetic traditions (ḥadīth).  This episode is based on the similarly titled "What is the Risale-i Nur"  section on Reflections-RN.org under Introduction. Read and interpreted by Mustafa Tuna. For more on the Risale-i Nur, visit www.reflections-RN.org.
