| Summary: | Today, scientific development is in full swing, knowledge is being spread widely, unlikely, and there is no existence of the creation in these scientific developments. Materialism took the man away from belief. Although discovery of the universe is essential, people are moving further away from one another. In this scenario there is a dire need to solve these problems in the light of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s Risale-i-Nur. Nursi was a great Muslim thinker and theologian of the 20th century who inspired the spiritually dead society of Turkey and led the revivalism of Muslims during his life. The human mind controls all the activities of a man. This is the centre of human body. These feelings are fundamentally based on some permanent strong thinking and concepts. These principles are called our belief, i.e., faith. This centre giving directions to practice a man, it also controls all the deeds of a man. The single motivation behind all our activities is our intention. "It is righteousness to believe in God and the Last Day and the Angels and the Book, and Messengers" (Qur’ān 2:177). The holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said "All the deeds are base on intentions. The Prophet (S.A.W.) clearly told five principles as basic beliefs i.e. Tauheed, Belief on Angels, His Prophets, Books and answerable on the Day of Judgment." Risale-i-Nur played a major role in keeping the Islamic faith alive. This discusses the Islamic fundamentals of faith reflected in Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s work Risale-i Nur. |
