We are a group of people, linked to the "Risale-i Nur current" worldwide, who believe that the best way to understand the Qur'an in this century is to read the "Risale-i Nur" which satisfies the heart and the mind together. We believe that the author of these books, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, is the Mujaddid (Renewer) in this century. Prophet Muhammad -alayhissalatu wassalam- said:

"Every hundred years, Allah sends a renewer of the religion." (1)

We are located in Malaysia and Turkiye and act on a completely voluntary basis. Furthermore, we offer you translations in different languages and compilations from the Collection. If you have any questions about Islam or the Qur'an or the life of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) or the Risale-i Nur, we are ready to answer them.

The Risale-i Nur's author says in a letter: "I have dedicated my life, not to secondary matters which are the cause of internal partisanship, discord, and dispute, but to the pillars of belief, which are a question of paramount importance for all humanity, and to the truths of belief taught by the Qur'an, which may lead to the happiness of humankind and are the foundation of Islam and bonds of brotherhood." In saying this he was stating that the circle of the Risale-i Nur is so broad and all-embracing as to encompass all service to Islam and religious questions; that it affirms and encourages religious service of every sort; and that it is a highway of the Qur'an, and embraces Islam and all believers.

In the same letter, he continues: "I offer friendship to not only Muslims, but also Christians, and invite them to forgo enmity." He points out the dangers posed by the Second World War and the anarchy underlying communism, which intimate the transience and ephemerality of this world and its separations, thus implying that people should give up their hostility to one another, and heeding the Qur'an, unite, or else be ruined. He points out the need and necessity for the Risale-i Nur and its method of service, which is conformable with the conditions of the times, and with the wise guidance of the Qur'an and divine practice." (Emirdag Letters-I, p.20)

"It is an explanation (tafsir) on one true aspect of the All-Wise Qur'an. And just as renewers have appeared every century who have served religion and belief to the full, so at this strange time of aggressive secret societies and the collective personalities of misguidance, a renewer is needed in the form of a collective personality. The present does not resemble former times. However wondrous an individual person is, he may be defeated in the face of a collective personality. Since there is a strong possibility that the Risale-i Nur is a sort of renewer in this respect, those attributes could not be mine; rather, as I have written repeatedly, my life may be a sort of seed of the Risale-i Nur. Through the Qur'an's emanations and divine grace, out of that seed the Risale-i Nur became a fruit-bearing, valuable tree through divine creation. I was a seed; I rotted and departed. All the value belongs to the Risale-i Nur, which is the All-Wise Qur'an's meaning and is a genuine explanation on it." (Emirdag Letters-II, p.420)

"According to a Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH), so long as they do not fall prey to worldly desires, Islamic scholars are the sure heirs of the prophets. We know the Risale-i Nur to be a true heir of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)." Staff of Moses - 246

"With his miraculous eloquence, the Prophet pointed out with his saying: "The scholars are the heirs of the prophets" (2) that it is no easy matter to be a scholar of religion. For since they are the heirs of the prophets, they have to adhere faithfully to the path of the prophets in questions of truth and its dissemination - even if it passes over rocky mountain, wilderness, muddy bog, stony desert, or abyss; or worse, if they suffer arrest, trial, and imprisonment; exile, isolation, poison, and the gallows; and whatever other unimaginable forms of persecution, oppression, and torture.

Bediuzzaman was such a person; all his life he trod that rough path and for over half a century pursued that sacred jihad, overcoming as lightning the innumerable obstacles confronting him, and proving by act that he was a scholar who was heir to the prophets." Staff of Moses - 251
