الإنسان في رسائل النور وجودا، ومهمة، وغاية - The Human Being in the Risale-i Nur in Respect of His Existence, Significance, and Purpose

Abstract

God created man and subjected to him the vast universe at his disposal in order to wander in it the way he wills and fulfil his needs. Moreover, God provided man with all means and gave him a superior rank over all creation. Thus, it became clear that man is the purpose of creation and that he is the ultimate result and precious fruit. Hence, man has gained the honour to be the vicegerent on earth. The wisdom behind the creation of man is to worship Almighty God. Therefore, man has to recognize the features which God has honoured him with. Then, he has to truly know his Creator, because it is the most important issue in his life. However, many people have forgetfully denied this issue. They spread mischief on earth through their arrogance. That is why Nursi, dedicated himself and his entire life to enlighten those who are lost and guide them to the truth. Nursi devoted himself to guide their steps and ease the way for them. For that reason, Nursi established proofs and evidence from the Holy book of Qur'an and from the book of creation so that they are confirmed and accepted in hearts and minds beyond any doubt for anyone who has a heart or gives ear while he is heedful. Keywords: Risale-i Nur, Purpose of Life, Viceregency, Proofs of the Quran, Book of Creation
