Kleine Briefe zu großen Geheimnissen des Korans
Gibt es ein Leben nach dem Tode? Wo liegen die Hölle und das Paradies? Und warum wurde der Mensch aus dem Paradies ausgewiesen? Kann jemand Muslim sein ohne zu glauben? Warum lässt Gott auch unschuldige Menschen, sogar Tiere leiden? Gibt es eine absolute Gerechtigkeit?
Diese und hunderte weitere essenzielle Fragen werden in dem über 6.000 Seiten starken Gesamtwerk Risale-i Nur des bedeutenden Gelehrten Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960) beantwortet. Das Werk gilt als einer der originellsten und außergewöhnlichsten Korankommentare, die je verfasst wurden.
Das Buch Mektubat - Die Briefe - ist ein Kernstück dieses Werkes. Es wurde bereits in viele Sprachen übertragen, auch auf Deutsch sind mehrere Übersetzungen erhältlich. Kennzeichnend für unsere Ausgabe Kleine Briefe zu großen Geheimnissen des Korans (Briefe 1-15) sind:

-Kommentare, Kurzportraits der wichtigsten Personenund Erklärung von über 200 Fachbegriffen, ohne die sich der Text dem Laien kaum erschließt,

About the author
Bediüzzaman Said Nursî
588 books174 followersSaid Nursî, (1878 – March 23, 1960) is an Islamic scholar who wrote Risale-i Nur Collection, a body of Qur'anic commentary exceeding six thousand pages. He is commonly known as Bediüzzaman, which means "the wonder of the age".
He was finally released in 1949. In the last decade of his life he settled in Isparta city. After the introduction of the multi-party system he advised his followers to vote for the Democratic Party of Adnan Menderes which gained the support of the rural and conservative populations. Because Said Nursî considered communism the greatest danger of that time, he also supported the pro-Western orientation of the Democrats, leading to his support of NATO, CENTO and Turkey's participation in the Korean war. He tried to unite Muslims and Christians in the struggle against communism and materialism therefore he corresponded with the Pope and the Greek Orthodox patriarch.
In 1956 he was allowed to have his writings printed. His books are collected under the name The Collection Of Risale-i Nur (Letters of Light).
His tomb in Urfa (demolished in July 1960)
He died of exhaustion after traveling to Urfa. He was buried on the premises where according to Islamic beliefs Abraham (Ibrahim) is buried. After the military coup d'état in Turkey in 1960, a group of soldiers led by the later extreme right-wing politician Alparslan Türkeş opened his grave and buried him at an unknown place near Isparta during July 1960 in order to prevent popular veneration. His followers are reported to have found his grave after years of searching in the area, and took his remains to a secret place in an effort to protect his body from further disturbance. Now, only two followers of him know where he is buried. When one of them dies, the other one tells one more person the secret place of the grave reducing the chance that the place be forgotten. Interestingly enough, he wrote in a treaty (risala), that no one should know where his tomb is.

Ein so komplexes Werk in so verständliche Worte zu verfassen, ist hier wirklich gelungen. Die umfangreichen Kommentare sind exzellent, man fühlt sich sehr mit Wissen bereichert und lernt viel mehr über allgemeine Dinge, die man schon oft seit dem Kindesalter gehört hat. Insgesamt eine sehr gelungene Arbeit, die ich jedem ans Herz legen würde!
