My family is in the Nur Movement, therefore they read the books of Said Nursi. Many muslim kurdish scholars advise people to read his book and everybody know him in Turkey. What do you think about him?
We advise Muslims, if they really want to be Muslims as Allah (God) commanded
That they should follow the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic Method (Sunnah)
because Allah sent His messenger to be the perfect example for people
.
Allah has said : (There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.) - [33:21]
.
But following other figures and persons -as in Sufism-
and making pledges of loyalty, allegiance, enmity and disavowal according to them, then this is of the impermissible innovation in religion (heresy, Bid'a) , even if these characters were righteous
.
And I have seen some of Noursi's speech that indicates his extreme Sufism -unfortunately- .. Like attributing knowledge of the unseen to [who they assume] holy people "Wali Saleh", and so on..
And perhaps many people don't know that about him, especially that he titled his speech by saying : "Indeed, what is written here shouldn't be seen by anyone, and then it must be hidden from others" !
In the paragraph called the 18th Shine from the 21st of his letters
.
And there is no doubt that the belief that there's on the heavens or the earth who knows the unseen except Allah, is a blasphemous belief
Allah Almighty says : (Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.") - [27:65]
and He says to His prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him- : (Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe.") - [7:188]
.
If Allah has denied that His messenger knows the unseen, while he is the master of chlidren of Adam, then by stronger reason, others don't know the unseen
.
Noursi had other great mistakes, but that was just an example.. And surely he also had merits, but the problem is that the errors he made in belief were of the massive kind
.
In Islam, we don't have secrets and defects to be hidden.. Our religion is clear, compliant for understanding and remembrance, this is another characteristic that's peculiar to this great religion
.
We are not to judge Noursi, maybe he repented before he died..
But what we are to say is that the meaning of the word Muslim is genuinely following the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah, and seeking accurate understanding of proofs and guidelines
.
We Learn from scholars, but as Imam Maalik said :
"From All people we can accept or reject, except the Messenger of Allah, Mohammad -peace be upon him- ." means : except for the messenger of Allah, only from him among people we accept everything reliably
That they should follow the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic Method (Sunnah)
