Abstract

Despondency and hopelessness has cast its dark clouds on humanity across  globe in the modern period. Materialism and Secularization have weakened  and severed man’s fount of hope—faith in religion. However, action and more  intensive and extensive actions have attained the symbol of modernism, but  “the positive action for a better world” is yet to be defined and actualized in the  contemporary world. World Wars, Cold Wars, Nuclearization, Environmental  Pollution, Ecological Crisis, Militarization, Economic and Social Disparities  do not speak of positive actions. Bediuzaman Said Nursi keeps up the hope  alive in humans through his words–Risale-i Nur and his life–lived through  extreme pain, suffering, imprisonment, alienation and exilement. True to the  Qur’anic notion of cultivating faith in the Oneness of God and in the Day of  Reward-Hereafter. Nursi expounds the Qur’anic theme of ‘the given in this  world’ as a test which if appropriated positively could earn blessings for the  doer. Hence, even acute crisis one faces is an opportunity for acquiring high  moral and spiritual rewards if one takes it as a challenge and restrains his emo-tions and conducts himself in the worthy manner which is the hallmark of real  servants of God. The current global situation, though being very depressing  calls for faithful to generate hope and keep it alive, which alone can ensure a  positive action for the betterment of the world. Keeping the relevance of the  subject in view, the study would be conducted on two referents: one the Qur’a-nic position and the other Said Nursi’s Risale-i Nur along with the contexts he  propounded the ideas to fully contextualize the pronouncement on the subject.

Özet

Umutsuzluk ve ümitsizlik modern dönemde insanlığın üzerine karanlık bu-lutlar gibi çökmüştür. Materyalizm ve Sekülerleşme insanın ümit kaynağı olan  imanı zayıflatıp kesti. Daha yoğun ve geniş çabalar modernizmin sembolüne  ulaştı ama günümüz dünyasında “daha iyi bir dünya için müsbet hareket” ha-len tanımlanıp gerçekleştirilmeyi bekliyor. Dünya savaşları, soğuk savaşları,  nükleerleşme, çevre kirliliği, ekolojik kriz, askerileşme, ekonomik ve sosyal  uyumsuzluklar müsbet hareketten haber vermiyor. Bediüzzaman Said Nur-si hem sözleri yani Risale-i Nur ve azami acı, sıkıntı, hapis, yabancılaşma ve  sürgünle geçen kendi hayatı vasıtasıyla insanlar arasında ümidi hayatta tut-maktadır. Kur’an’daki tevhide ve ahirete imanı işleme prensibini uygun olarak  Nursi Kur’an’daki bu dünyada verilen konusunu iyi değerlendirilirse failine  sevab kazandıran bir imtihan olarak tefsir eder. Böylece, eğer onu bir imti-han olarak kabul eder, hissiyatını dizginler ve Allah’ın hakiki kullarının şiarı  olan bir tavırla davranırsa, şiddetli bir buhran bile yüksek ahlaki ve manevi  mükafatlar kazandıracak bir fırsat olabilir. Hazırdaki global durum çok sıkıcı  olsa bile müminleri ümit üretmeye ve onu devam ettirmeye davet eder ki bu  tek başına dünyanın ıslahı için müsbet bir harekettir. Meselenin alakasını  göz önünde bulundurursak bu çalışma iki kaynak üzerinedir: birisi Kur’an’ın  konuya bakışı diğeri konunun beyanı için arz ettiği bağlamlarla Said Nursi’nin  Risale-i Nur’udur.
