..If man, who is created
on the most excellent of patterns, restricts his thought to the life of
this world, he falls a hundred times lower than a creature like a sparrow,
although he is higher than the animals.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
"Twenty-Third Word, Second
Chapter"
The most important thing we should note about the evidence for design
is that it brings good news. Life is not pointless. Consider the alternative
to God. If the universe is an accident, then our lives do not have meaning
or lasting value.

 Wisdom
of the All-Wise Qur'an and the wisdom of philosophy and science
by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi
This Word consists of a brief comparison between the sacred wisdom
of the All-Wise Qur'an and the wisdom of philosophy and science, and an
extremely concise summary of the instruction and training which Qur'anic
wisdom gives to man's personal life and social life, and an indication
of the Qur'an's superiority to other Divine Words, and to all speech. There
are Four Principles in this Word. |
 Nursi's
Conception of Sciences
by Dr. Alparslan Acikgenc
The concept of science (fann or ‘ilm) is among the key
terms used in the writings of Ustadh Nursi. Before we discuss his treatment
of this subject we need to point out that when a scholar makes use of a
scientific concept, he uses it in an approximate meaning utilized by the
scientific community of his time. In this sense we indeed have to use the
scientific theories that are dominant in our age. As human beings we cannot
go much beyond that conception.
From
Physics to Metaphysics
by I. Yakup
Today, force, in physics, is defined as an influence that sets a stable
body in motion or stops a moving one or changes its direction (1).
Also, it has never been recorded so far to be a concept which exists on
its own (2), meaning not independent. That is to say, the force itself
is owned by someone, by all means, it has an owner.

Said Nursi The Representative of Contemporary Islamic Thinkers: His Approach
to the Questions of Science and Technology
by Prof. Adem Tatli
Ever since he first appeared on earth, man has shown a close interest
in his environment and has tried to understand and discover the laws to
which things are subject. The aim of these endeavours has been to establish
the way to both worldly and eternal happiness by gaining mastery over the
physical world. |
