Reflections on Risale-i Nur

The "Tenth Word" is a masterpiece of dialectical theology (kalam). As an exegesis of the Qur'an, 30:50* it demonstrates numerous  rational and empirical proofs for the possibility, necessity, and  existence of bodily resurrection and divine judgement in the Hereafter.

* "Look, then, at the signs of God’s mercy, how He restores the earth to life after death: this same God is the one who will return people to life after death - He has power over all things (Qur'an,  30:50)."

This episode is based on the "Twenty Seventh Word" in the Words by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi.

"Twenty Seventh Word” is on the possibility of ijtihad in the  present time, the wisdom in the differences of opinion among various madhabs, or schools of jurisprudence in Islam, and the elevated rank of  the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)  above saints of God and all other people except prophets. This episode concludes the treatise with three important questions on the superiority of the companions.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

I did this brief recording only to let those who regularly listen to this podcast that I have a little cold and my voice is not good enough to prepare a whole episode today. Insha'Allah, I will get to it as soon as possible.

Wassalam,
