AN ASSESSMENT OF SAID NURSI'S IDEAS AND OPINIONS(ICTIHAD) ON FORMATION OF PEACEFUL INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETIES
Öz
The article focuses on the idea and opinion of Nursî about the formation of a
peaceful society. According to Nursî; betterments in the welfare and capability
of people and the community are brought about to produce a peaceful and
libertarian environment; and this is the environment in which the duties of
the people are fulfilled. Nursî hence emphasized the importance of calmness
in the individual and society and showed that faith and Islamic values carry
out great functions. According to him, religion is a way of life in agreement
with nature. For this reason Nursî’s community model is one that is based
on religion and centered around belief as well as Allah’s consent to determine
the correct actions when dealing with the outer and inner world. Sometimes
Nursî referred to the functionality of God’s attributes in the Risale-i Nur as
means of expounding the harmony in the universe and as a reflection of Allah’s
name “Vedûd”. Thus, macro and micro cosmic entities in the universe have
gravitational forces in synchrony and fine tuning which can be considered as
portends and which constitute an amazing unity which should be a good ex-ample for human societies. To keep communities together, to enable them to
live in harmony and for people to love one another depends on the reflection of
Vedud’s name. Whenever this name is reflected by individuals in communities
then connections in communities become powerful and unity arises. Nursî’s
opinion about jihad takes into consideration historical contexts and the very
central principles of religion.
