Abstract

The first topic specified for our journal has been decided as “positive action”. The concept was defined by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi in his Risale-i Nur as a method of service towards Iman and the Quran and the foundational principle of his work. He summarises this with the following explanation:- Our duty is to implement positive action. It is not negative action. It is a service towards Belif solely done for God’s sake alone. It does not try to interfere with the work of God and His Decree. We are charged to endure all hardships with patience and thankfulness through positive faith service which results in protecting the public order.1 According to the above statement; the main elements of positive action comprise of a level of belief (iman) where things are done solely for God’s sake, where God’s actions are not intervened with and thus accepted and submitted to, where public security is upheld, and an attitude which responds to problems and difficulties with both patience and gratitude amidst service towards God. Concerning this principle we can also include the fact that involvement in politics must be avoided, one should perform his work with fondness, controversy and disputes must be shunned as well as the habit of criticising others.

Toplumu Huzura Götüren Yol: Müsbet Hareket

Abstract

Dergimizin ilk sayısının konusunu müsbet hareket olarak belirledik. Müsbet hareket, Bediüzzaman Said Nursî’nin Risâle-i Nur Mesleği adını verdiği imana ve Kur’an’a hizmet metodunun temel eylem prensibidir. O bu prensibi özet olarak şu ifadelerle açıklıyor: Bizim vazifemiz müsbet hareket etmektir. Menfî hareket değildir. Rıza-yı İlâhîye göre sırf hizmet-i imaniyeyi yapmaktır: Vazife-i İlâhiyeye karışmamaktır. Bizler asayişi muhafazayı netice veren, müsbet iman hizmeti içinde her bir sıkıntıya karşı sabırla, şükürle mükellefiz.1 Bu ifadeye göre müsbet hareketin ana unsurları; iman hizmetini Allah rızası için yapmak, Allah’ın vazifesine karışmamak, asayişi muhafaza etmek, hizmet ederken ortaya çıkacak olan sıkıntılara sabır ve şükürle karşılık vermektir. Konuyla ilgili başka açıklamalarını dikkate aldığımızda bunlara siyasetten uzak durmak, kendi mesleğinin muhabbetiyle hareket etmek, ihtilaf noktalarını kurcalamamak ve münakaşa etmemek, eleştiriden kaçınmak gibi hususları ekleyebiliriz
