A discussion of the notion of supplication (dua) and its relation to worship and Divine Unity. Also discussed is a formula for how best to perform dua, so as to maximise its acceptability.

A discussion of backbiting or 'ghiybah', based on the concluding section of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's, 'Twenty-Second Letter'. We consider what does and does not count as ghiybah, and why it is so reprehensible in Allah's view. In doing so, we also consider the relation between ghiybah and issues such as pride, shirk and Divine Unity.

A discussion of some key strategies Iblis utilises to corrupt sound thought and reasoning. With the benefit of readings from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's 'Thirteenth Flash', we consider how to combat the satanically inspired inclination we often have to deny culpability for our own wrongdoings, judge others unfairly and reason unsoundly in certain contexts.

A discussion of a category of thoughts known as 'satanic whisperings'. We consider some key ways of identifying these satanically inspired thoughts, and how should we deal with them. Based on readings from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's 'Thirteenth Flash', in his Flashes collection.

A discussion on dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) and the numerous forms it can take. We highlight the fact that even the performance of habitual 'sunnah' actions amounts to a sort of dhikr. We also discuss the central role dhikr plays in our attaining a state of cognitive and spiritual engagement with Allah. Based on readings from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's, "Eleventh Flash".

A discussion on the meaning of sincerity (ikhlas) for Muslims, and how the faculty of 'love' should be directed or utilised in a manner that captures this sort of sincerity. Based on readings from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's 'Twenty First Flash' and his 'Thirty Second Word'.

A discussion on the human capacity for love, and our ability to direct this capacity, despite it being involuntary in a sense. Based on readings from the 'Thirty Second Word' of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's 'Risale-i Nur Collection'.

A discussion of the notion of the 'amanah' or 'trust' in Islam. What are the sorts of things we are given on 'trust' by Allah, and what is our responsibility in relation to these things? Is the 'trust' something burdensome? Based on a reading of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's, 'Sixth Word'.

A discussion of some of the wisdom in Allah's causing us to undergo hardships such as illnesses. We focus particularly on how these hardships benefit us in terms of our knowledge and worship of Allah. Based on readings from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's 'Twenty-Fifth Flash'.

A discussion on Divine determining, based on the First Topic of the Twenty-Sixth Word, Risale-i Nur. Does the fact that events in the universe are all subject to 'Divine determining' (or qadar) absolve us of responsibility for our actions? We consider this question and discuss a number of related issues.
