The Human 'I' as the Key to Ma'rifatullah and Knowing Oneself: Nursi's Treatise of Human 'I'

Öz

Nursi describes human I as a key to open the hidden treasures of the cosmos; but ‘I’ is also a double-edgedsword, an Alif; one face pointing towards materialism and the other towards God. When man turns towards materialism and becomes his own master, the real essence of I is lost. When human I gets corrupted, Nursi believes that the corruption of human I reduces the value of Allah’s bounties. But, on the other hand, ‘I’ is the source of all knowledge; therefore, it is necessary to know the nature and existence of the ‘I’. There cannot be any other way to know the true nature of the I, except through the ‘I’ itself. The study aims to comprehend the true nature of the human ‘I’ based on Nursi’s perspective. It also makes a differentiation between Nafs, Ruh and the human I, as the terms are loosely used interchangeably. For Nursi, the Divine Names are a source of Ma’rifatullah, but these Names themselves manifest through human I. This statement brings human I and Asma ul-Husna in close conformity with Ma’rifatullah. The paper tries to explore this relationship between Asma ul-Husna, Ma’rifatullah and the human I. This study, which has the features of a qualitative research, used the text analysis method.
