Bangladeshi Scholars: "Risale-i Nur is an Ocean of Endless Depth"

The Risale-i Nur Education Programs organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture (IIKV) continue to inspire scholars worldwide.

The closing session of a program held from October 30 to November 10 for Bangladeshi scholars and religious leaders took place today at the IIKV headquarters in Istanbul.  

During the event, Said Yüce, President of the IIKV Board of Trustees, highlighted the foundation’s collaboration with nearly 200 universities globally and provided insights into the symposiums organized by the foundation. He also emphasized IIKV's partnerships with academics from countries such as India, Pakistan, and Morocco, and introduced new projects spearheaded by the foundation.  

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the concepts of "mana-i harfi" and "mana-i ismi" derived from the *Risale-i Nur. Additionally, the program explored how Islamic preaching and guidance could be conveyed in today’s world with wisdom and a Qur'anic approach that resonates with modern audiences.  

The Bangladeshi scholars expressed their gratitude to the foundation for addressing these vital topics, commending its cultural and intellectual contributions to humanity.  

Yahya El Nedevi, Disciple of Shaykh Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi and Chief Editor of Ahlam al-Sighar:  

"I found truths in Risale-i Nur that I had never encountered before."

“This program has been incredibly beneficial for me. I encountered truths here that I had never found or experienced elsewhere. Through Risale-i Nur, I learned more than I have throughout my academic journey. I will do my utmost to share these profound teachings with my students and the people around me.”  

Shaykh Ruh-ul Amin Al-Qasemi:  

"Risale-i Nur is truly an ocean of endless depth." 

“We have greatly benefited from the Risale-i Nur. These works are not only a treasure for Turkey but for the entire Muslim Ummah and humanity as a whole. Bediüzzaman Said Nursi has left a noble heritage and a refined wealth for humanity. It is the duty of the entire Ummah to disseminate this legacy to all of humankind.”  

Shaykh Ashrafuz Zaman:  

"Our visit to Istanbul awakened us to the truth of Risale-i Nur."  

“This visit to Istanbul provided us the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with the Risale-i Nur, a magnificent Qur'anic commentary for this era. It has awakened us from the slumber of heedlessness. We pledge to work with all our efforts to spread these truths.”  

Muhammad Zubayr Al-Azhari:  

"The foundations of Risale-i Nur are deeply rooted and robust." 

In his remarks, Muhammad Zubayr Al-Azhari praised the strong and profound sources upon which Risale-i Nur is based.
