Abstract
<p><em>One of the prominent factor leading to the continuing decline of the Muslim Ummah is rivalry between scientific mind and traditional mind-set. The modern Muslim intellectuals are fascinated by scientific developments in the West and discouraged by the inability of Ummah. The process of re-emergence as developed community is imbedded in re-Islamization of scientific knowledge. The rise of Muslim Ummah is tied with integration of Shari’ah based knowledge and scientific knowledge. The focus of the Muslim intellectual pursuits must once again gravitate towards these two fountains of true knowledge. To achieve this goal, Said Nursi a versatile personality, a true representative of Islam came with all-inclusive ideas for integration of both the knowledge’s. He advocates the Qur’anic Scientism and discussed faith based research (iman tahqiqi) relying on positive action (jihad Manaavi) in Risal-i Nur. In this paper an Attempt has been made to acme the Qur’anic Scientism in Risal-i- Nur, to prove Qur’anic Scientism highly applicable while as Said Nursi as admirably a true representative of Qur’anic Message in the modern era.</em></p>
Highlights
From the time when man first appeared on earth, he has always been interested in gaining mastery over his physical environment as a means of finding a way to both worldly and eternal happiness
According to Nursi, to achieve this goal, man has chosen the negative philosophy in the light of reason for it or the way of those who followed the Prophet-hood in the light of Revealed Scriptures (Nursi, 2005: 561)
Said Nursi was opposite to this thought and tried to find an association between them (Nursi, 2005: 565)
Summary
From the time when man first appeared on earth, he has always been interested in gaining mastery over his physical environment as a means of finding a way to both worldly and eternal happiness. The cause of this defeat was their less inclination towards scientific temperament which helped Muslim antagonists to build their war machine To realize this dilemma, Said Nursi tried to initiate a relationship between science and religion and came with the thought that theology has scientific character too. A scientific explanation of the Quran which revolutionized the modern Muslim thought in academic, Resale-i Nur is the collection of six thousand pages known as scientific exegesis of the Quran In this collection Nursi tried to answer all the contemporary challenges put forth by the Modern Sciences to religion in general and Islam in particular. He stated that Holy Qur’an includes scientific thoughts and encouraged all modern men to search for it. He very determinedly worked to substantiate conformity of Islam’s message with modern science
