Reflections on Risale-i Nur

This podcast is dedicated to answering the three fundamental questions of human existence: “Where are you coming from? Where are you going to? And what is your destination?” in the light of the Risale-i Nur: a profoundly spiritual, insightful, and intellectual commentary on the Qur'an by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1878-1960): one of the most remarkable scholars of Islam in the modern era who distinguished himself with extraordinary memory and intellect, sincere devotion and spirituality, and an excellent grasp of both the Islamic tradition and the modern world. Maintained by Dr. Mustafa Tuna.

Tenth Word 16

The "Tenth Word" is a masterpiece of dialectical theology (kalam). As an exegesis of the Qur'an, 30:50* it demonstrates numerous  rational and empirical proofs for the possibility, necessity, and  existence of bodily resurrection and divine judgement in the Hereafter. * "Look,  then, at the signs of God’s mercy, how He restores the  earth to life after death: this same God is the one who will return  people to life after death - He has power over all things (Qur'an,  30:50)." Read and interpreted by Dr. Mustafa Tuna. For more on the Risale-i Nur, visit www.reflections-RN.org.
