Bediuzzaman is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Bediuzzaman turns to "faith" as a saving concept. In a way, it makes a new definition of faith. For him, faith is the greatest source of energy and strength in the Muslim world.

Risale-i Nur, in the words of the late Mehmed Akif, takes its inspiration directly from the Qur'an; It is a work that reads both the microcosmos and macrocosmos in the vast horizons opened by the Qur'an; appeals to the mind and heart together and activates the potential energy within the human being with this style of address and makes faith and Islam live in every phase of daily life.
