New Approaches in Tafsir

The message of the Qur’an is universal; it speaks to all eras and all people, offering principles that ensure happiness in both worldly and spiritual life. Throughout history, many distinguished scholars have contributed to the accurate preservation of the Qur’anic text and the correct transmission of its message, producing invaluable works for future generations.

Among the scholars who dedicated their lives solely to serving the Qur’an, Bediüzzaman Said Nursi stands out. Declaring, “I will prove and show to the whole world that the Qur’an is an unfading and unextinguishable spiritual sun,” he fulfilled this promise through his monumental work, the Risale-i Nur, an original and influential commentary on the Qur’an.

In this study, New Approaches in Tafsir: The Example of the Risale-i Nur, Niyazi Beki—rooted in the traditional madrasa scholarly tradition—seeks to examine and present Bediüzzaman Said Nursi’s unique and profound approach to Qur’anic exegesis.
