İslam Alemindeki Mevcut Sosyo-politik Buhranı Çözmek için Said Nursi’nin Risale-i Nur’da Verdiği İyileştirici İnsancıl Mesaj

Bediüzzaman Said Nursi Risale-i Nur’u yazmaya başladığında fikri oldukça gelişmiş ve olgundu. Türkiye bir inkılaptan geçerken Said Nursi, İslami sosyo-politik yapıyı canlandırmak için çabalarında pek çok sıkıntılarla karşılaştı. Eski ve Yeni Said diye ikiye bölünen hayatı boyunca pek çok seçenekleri denedi ve hatta toplumu dini manada hayatlandırmak için Van’dan İstanbul’a ve Şam’dan geri dönerken ki mücadelesinde uygulamalı çözümler denedi. Nihayet talih-sizlikler sebebiyle başarısızlık ve kayıplarını anlayıp uzak mekanlarda inzivaya çekilerek Kur’an’ın tetkikiyle meşgul olup Risale-i Nur şeklinde bir çözümle meydana çıktı. Risale-i Nur hususi ve umumi şumullü bir yaklaşıma sahip olup beşerin sorunları ve sıkıntılarına çözümdür. Hayatını imanın tecdidine adamış ve dinle desteklenen siyasetin şüpheli yöntemlerinden veya siyasi emeller için dinin istismarından içtinap etmiştir. Tarihin en kötü buhranından geçmekte olan İslam alemi ihtiyaç duyduğu her derde devayı Bediüzzaman Said Nur-si’nin derslerinde ve tecrübelerinde bulabilir. Bu makale Bediüzzaman Said Nursi’nin özellikle Risale-i Nur’da mevcut sosyo-politik buhrana hitap eden derslerini inceleyecektir.

Throughout his life, which is divided as old and new Nursi, he attempted for many options and even opted for practical solutions in his struggle from Van to Is-tanbul and to Damascus and back, to resurrect the society on religious lines. Finally realizing failure and losses incurred by misadventures, he isolated himself in the remote areas engrossed and concentrated on the study of Qur’ān came out with a solution in the form of Risale-i Nur.Risale-i Nur which is an embodiment of esoteric and exoteric all en-compassing approach and solution to human problems and sufferings. Dedicating his whole life’s work to the avowed aim of fostering renewal of belief and abhorred the dubious art of politicking that is buttressed by religion or exploitation of religion for political ends. Muslim world which is passing through worst kind of crisis in the history is in need of panacea which indeed can be found in the teachings and experiences of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi.
