Özet:

In this study, the relationship between Nursi, ṣūfism and orders has been tried to be reconsidered by taking into account previous studies on the subject and new results have been tried to be obtained by looking at aforementioned relationship from different perspectives. For this purpose, the document analysis method was used. One of the conclusions reached is that, through the Risale-i Nur, Nursi attempted to achieve in his own time something similar to the attempts of al-Ghazālī, Ibn al-‘Arabī and Qūnawī to present a superior, encompassing and purposeful science by addressing the sciences of their own period and completing their inadequacies. Moreover, he did this by taking into account the requirements of the time. In this respect, Risale-i Nur is a work that should be considered within the framework of the new period ṣūfism called ma‘rifatullāh and ʻilm-i taḥqīq. Another important result is that the path that Nursi stated that he put forward in divine knowledge and reaching God Almighty, was formed based on concepts and definitions belonging to the history and literature of ṣūfism and orders based directly on the Qur’ān, while taking into account philosophical, theological and mystical ways. In addition, this path distinguishes itself from other paths with the characteristics (short, safe, general) it has acquired in terms of the ṣūfi concepts and definitions that can be expressed as “warathat-i nubuwwa and walāyat-i kubrā, injidhāb and jadhba, individual (fardiya) status and manifestation, Uvaysī style, the acquisition of the work as a guide (murshid) and spiritual guide (murshid), investigation (taḥqīq) activity and ʻilm-i taḥqīq”.
