“33 AYAT IN THE QUR’AN FORETELL RISALE-I NUR”
“When we calculate this ayah in abjad system, we find out 998, similar to ‘Risale-i Nur’ word. So ayah signing Risale-i Nur exactly” (The Rays / Şualar, p. 538)
EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN WHEN THE RISALE IS CHALLENGED (!)
“I am warning you: Do not challenge Risale-i Nur which relies on the Qur’an. For it is undefeatable, and it would be regrettable for this country. (The earthquakes that occured four times during the time period when Risale-i Nur was challenged, has proved “regrettable”)” (Siracü’n-Nûr, p. 168)
THE RISALE IS FLAWLESS, AND UNDEBATABLE
“The Words without doubt are Kitabi’l Mubin’s shining flashes. With there being points which require explanation, it is flawless and complete in its entirety.” (Barla Letters, 1. Letter)
“Who would dare to find flaws in these Risale? (…) And thats why I consider touching a single letter to be a great sin.” (Barla Letters, p. 56)
“…Who can dare, to attack the risale’s, or to criticize a sentence in it, or to object to a word, a letter or even a period.” (Barla Letters, p. 194)
MISTAKE CLAIM IN QUR’AN
“If Allah had said ‘min semerâtihâ’ it would have been more concise and better than ‘minhâ min semeratin’ ” (İşaratü’l İcaz, Surah al-Baqara, 25. Ayah)
Said Nursi claims a phrase in Bakara 25 is not concise, however the word of Allah is perfect and without any flaw:
“The Word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearing, All- Knowing.” (Al-An’am 6/115)
GUARANTEE OF JANNAH (HEAVEN) TO SAID NURSI FOLLOWERS
“One of Risale-i Nur followers is Nazmi. They say “Risale-i Nur followers will not die without iman (faith), they will enter grave with iman” (Sikke-i Tasdik-i Gaybi, p. 22)
“AMERICA SERVES THE RELIGION”
Making a glorious country that serves hard in favor of the religion like America a true ally, is possible with Iman and Islam. We, the Nurcus and the servants of the Qur’an, are foretelling to them and pray for their prosperity in their service to Islam. (The Emirdağ Letters II, p. 816)
STRANGE EXCERPTS FROM RISALE-I NUR
A truthful anecdote: When Sultan Suleiman brought the abundant Kırkceşme water to Istanbul, the Sheikhulislam Zenbilli Ali Effendi told him: With the way you brought contrary-to-sharia laws from Europe*, you have shat on Istanbul so that even if the entirety of the water you brought flowed over it, it wouldn’t be able to clean it in a hundred years.
