Two Different Ways of Nonviolent Resistance
Mahatma Gandhi and Said Nursi, who lived as contemporaries in two different societies in Asia, still maintain their influence on large masses with their intellectual heritage. Two leaders, each with a unique methodology for non-violent resistance, were compared for the first time in this study. This comparison is not made based on their entire biographies or their entire works but is limited to Gandhi's satyagraha and Nursi's positive action meth…
Said Nursi’s cause-wisdom congruence method as a method of social analysis
Is it possible to analyze social reality outside a secular, positivist and materialist perspective? Is it possible to understand and explain social phenomena and events with a methodology other than cause-effect determinism?

I will seek the answers to these questions in the context of the cause-wisdom…

We will discuss the answers to all these questions in the context of the Risale-i Nur Collection (the text) and the Nur movement, written by the Islamic scholar and Quran commentator Said Nursi. The main argument of our study is that the socialisati…
The Past, Present and Future of Social Stratification from Said Nursi’s Perspective
Social stratification is a common factor in almost every society on earth. Societies exhibit a certain hierarchical structure measured by either abstract or concrete criteria. With industrialisation, the form of stratification changed. The proletariat and the bourgeoisie formed the two main social strata of this new society. Studies aimed at understanding and explaining this change in the social structure have produced many texts with a rich theo…
