New Program on Feb 26th, Wednesday

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi is one of the most significant scholars of 20th century. He was born in 1877 in Turkey and he died in 1960. His books, called Risale-i Nur Collection, were translated into 17 languages. You can read more about his life and his teachings at this link.

Some of His Pearls of Wisdom:

• If you want the pleasure and enjoyment of life, give life to your life through belief, and adorn it with religious duties. And preserve it by abstaining from sins.
• It is the sacredness of the authority more than proof that drives the mass of the people to conform.
• Anyone who is capable may make interpretations of the Law for his own self; but he cannot make the Law.
• Non-acceptance is confused with the acceptance of non-being. The evidence for non-acceptance is the absence of established proof. The acceptance of non-being requires proof of non-being. One is doubt while the other is denial.
• He who created the eye of the mosquito is the one who created the sun.
