Sözler - Risale-i Nur Külliyatı'ndan - Sadeleştirilmiş
Said Nursi ‘nin mesleği olan “iman kurtarmak” bahsinde, risalelerin ne bulunmaz bir hazine olduğuna, tarih ve dünyanın her tarafındaki milyonlarca okuyucusu şahitlik ediyor. Buna mukabil, bu hazinenin ihtiyaç sahibi herkese ulaştırılması hususunda, özellikle Türkiye’deki genç nesil ve yurt dışında yaşayan Türkler hesaba katıldığında, istenen ölçüde başarılı olunamadığı da bir başka gerçek. Risaleleri günümüz Türkçesiyle basma ve bu eserleri Türkçe konuşulan her haneye sokma kararlılığı meyvelerini verdi. Süreyya Yayınları, Risaleleri ihtiyaç içindeki herkese ulaştırma misyonunda en önemli bir vazifeyi ifa etmeye çalışıyor. 950 sayfayı aşkın hacmiyle bu dev eserle buluşmak için artık kimsenin “anlamıyorum” diye bir bahanesi kalmadı.

About the author
Bediüzzaman Said Nursî
587 books175 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.

It takes mental energy and time to get used to the language of this book. It is a detailed analysis of Qur’anic verses. It explains faith principles with the proofs from the earth, universe and human psyche. It is a deep read. It has many recommendation for disfuntional psychological states, which are universal (can also be used by a person who is bot committed to Islam).
I like the last parts when he wrote very deep principles as short poems. I am planning to reread parts of it and use for inspiration.
