This is the second non fiction book I've read from Turkish islamic scholar Said Nursi. He lived during the end of the Ottoman Empire and beginning of the Attaturk era. As an Islamic scholar under surveillance, he communicated with his students, disciples, and brothers in religion by letters. It is very enlightening and enriching to read about Islam and the Holy Quran from him.
