Sickness washes away the dirt of sins like soap, and cleanses. It is established in an authenticated hadith that illnesses are expiation for sins. It says, "As ripe fruits fall from the tree when it is shaken, so the sins of a believer fall away with the shaking during illness".

Through the light of the Quran, I saw that both for myself and everyone else this world is a temporary market place set up on the road for the passers-by to shop in, a guest-house which every day filled and emptied...O respected elderly men and women who feel their old age as I do! We are leaving; there is no use in deceiving ourselves. Even if we close our eyes to it, we will not be allowed to remain here. There is mobilisation. The land of the Intermediate Realm of the grave, which appears to us as dark and as the land of eternal separation because of the delusions that arise from heedlessness and in part from the people of misguidance, is the meeting place of friends. It is the realm where we will meet with, foremost, Gods Beloved, upon him be peace and blessings, and with all our friends.

The Words forms the first part of the Risale-i Nur collection, an approximately 6,000-page Qur?anic commentary. In this commentary Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's main concern is how to save and strengthen one's religious belief when confronted with the current prevalent materialist philosophy. It does not explain when or why a verse was revealed, but rather the truth that it represents. Subjects discussed are God, resurrection, prophethood, destiny, ego, worship, and how the truth of these matters is revealed through nature. The author also analyzes naturalist and materialist philosophy, as well as scientific theories and findings, and refutes them based on evidence that is clearly apparent in nature itself.

This index lists all the topics in the "Risale-i Nur", the author's great multi-volume commentary on the Qur'an, and provides an outline for the later, more famous and massive treatise. Now available in English, it offers an overview of the material treated in the "Risale-i Nur" and an opportunity to browse through brief entries such as "Flower", "Spark" and "Whiff" each of which is a keyword linked to a passage in the Qur'an or a figure of speech in a theological argument.

The book includes selections from the Risale-i Nur on the unity and existence of God as evidenced by the universe. Selected treatises show Bediuzzaman's effective use of the Book of Universe to provide evidences pointing to one and imnipresent God.

If the thing which naturalists call nature has an external reality, it can, at the very most, be a work of art, not an artist; it can be a design, not a designer; a set of decrees, not an issuer of decrees; a set of the lawgiver; a creation and operation of the universe, not a lawgiver; a created veil before Gods Dignity, not a creator; something originated according to Gods way of acting, not an originator; only a law, not an independent, conscious power or a powerful one; and a set of lines to inscribe on, not a source or origin or an author.

Discussions and Comparisons vividly demonstrates the true natures of and difference between belief and unbelief through both concrete and rational arguments and producing the human conscience and basic nature as witnesses, especially through comparisons of belief and unbelief, of right guidance and misguidance. Using easily understood stories, comparisons, and explanations, the author produces categorical proofs, showing that modern scientific discoveries actually support and reinforce the truths of faith. Nursi uses the Qur'anic methodology of addressing each person's intellect, and other inner and outer faculties, to encourage people to study the universe and its functioning in order to understand creation's true nature and purposes, which will, in turn, lead to learning the Attributes of the One and only Creator as well as their own duties as God's servants.

Thirty treatises written by this influential Islamic scholar address key issues of humanity, as discussed in the Qur'an, that are equally applicable to modern society. Essays of this title include expositions on nature and its impossibility without the existence of God, the concept of sincerity and why it is a crucial part of Islamic practice, and suggested ways for the elderly and sick to treat their ailments while staying true to their religion.

"The Rays" is one of the key volumes of the Risale-i Nur Collection. In this volume, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi offers his insight on matters of belief with convincing arguments he puts forward in essays like The Supreme Sign. For Bediuzzaman, affirmation of faith is much easier than denial, for a single indication is enough for the former whereas an exhaustive investigation of the entire cosmos and throughout all times is necessary for the latter. He affirms that matters concerning what is sacred and spiritual require certainty and advancement in spiritual work; so denial based on evidence from material sphere and restricted only to what our eyes can see is unworthy of consideration. Belief is knowledge and a manifestation of being, and convictions underlying unbelief are ignorance and absence of judgement.

The Letters consists of the most important letters, and those having the most general interest, written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi to his students between 1926 and 1932. The letters, arranged by the author, were written in response to his student's questions and to reply to those who had adopted anti-Islamic viewpoints and ideas. The author discusses, among many other subjects, life, Paradise and Hell, how the Qur'an and science view nature, divine unity, knowledge and love of God; and the advantages and risks of following a spiritual order.

You should pursue Gods good pleasure in your actions. If He is pleased with you, even if the whole world is displeased, it is of no consequence. If He approves, it has no effect even if all others reject your ideas or actions. When He is pleased and approves, even if you do not seek the approval of others, should He will it to be so and His Wisdom requires it, He will make other others accept it and be pleased with you. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to aim at God Almightys good pleasure in the service of the Quran and belief.

Prepare yourselves. You will go to another and permanent realm, a realm that will make this one seem like a dungeon. You will go to the seat of our king's rule, and receive his compassion and bounty, if you heed and obey this edict. If you rebel and disobey it, you will be cast into awesome dungeons.
