Man’s first master and most influential teacher is his mother. (The Flashes)

The Pre-Eternal Designer turns over in front of our eyes the white page of winter and opens the green pages of spring and summer. Then He inscribes on the page of the earth's surface, with the pen of Power and Destiny, in the most beautiful form, more than three hundred thousand species of creation. Not one encroaches upon another. He writes them all together, but none blocks the path of another. In their formation and shape, each is kept separate from the other without any confusion. There is no error in the writing. (The Words)

The one who offers the supplications knows that there is Someone Who hears the wishes of his heart, Whose hand can reach all things, Who can bring about each of his desires, Who takes pity on his impotence, and answers his poverty. (The Words)

If a person treats something to his family and the people in his house on the Day of Ashura (the tenth day of the month of Muharram), Allah Almighty will increase his sustenance during the whole year. (Hadith, at-Targhib wa't-Tarhib, 2:116.)

The clouds, suspended between the sky and the earth, water the garden of the world in the most wise and merciful fashion, furnish the inhabitants of the earth with the water of life, modify the natural heat of life, and hasten to bestow aid wherever it is needed. (Ayat ul-Kubra)

Everything is in reality good, or in itself good, or good in regard to its results. (The Words)

The prescription for a sick age, an ailing nation, an ill member, is to follow the Qur’an. (The Letters)

Come, now look carefully at a tree! See its delicate mouth within the orderly emergence of the leaves in spring, and the blossoms opening in a measured manner, and the fruits swelling with wisdom and mercy and dancing at the blowing of the breeze in the hands of the branches like innocent children. (Risale-i Nur Collection - The Words)

And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah, if your (doubts) are true. But if ye cannot and of a surety ye cannot then fear the Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones, which is prepared for those who reject Faith. (al-Baqara, 23-24)

The Quran has challenged the deniers since the first days of its revelation with the verses above and similar ones; it has asked those who doubted that this book was the word of Allah to produce similar verses. If the polytheists who lived in a period when literature was in demand and among whom were many orators and rhetoricians could have answered this challenge, they would have won their struggle against Muslims through words and they would not have to fight Muslims. After fourteen centuries that passed, the Quran is still living in the tongues and hearts of billions of Muslims on the one hand and is still challenging the deniers in the same way on the other hand.

Love this world and the creatures in it as pointing to a meaning beyond themselves, like a word. Do not love them just for themselves. Say, “How beautifully they have been made.” Do not say, “How beautiful they are.” (The Words)

Fasting in Ramadan strikes direct blows at the soul’s pharaoh-like front, shattering it. It demonstrates its impotence, weakness, and want. It makes it realize that it is a slave. (The Letters)

Allah Almighty has no need of your worship, nor indeed of anything else. Rather, it is you who needs to worship, for in truth you are sick. And worship is a sort of remedy for your spiritual wounds. (The Flashes)

Our enemy is ignorance, necessity and controversy. We will fight against these three enemies with the weapons of art, knowledge and alliance. (Tarihçe-i Hayat)

If a person sacrifices an animal willingly and expecting its reward from Allah, it will be a barrier for him against hellfire.

The following was reported from Anas (r.a.): When the month of Rajab started, Hz. The Prophet (pbuh) would pray as follows: "O Allah! Make Rajab and Shaban blessed for us and let us reach Ramadan." (Hadith)

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.” (Surah An-Noor 35)

I had concluded no trade; the capital of life was all lost;
I came to the road to find the caravan had moved on, unaware.
Lamenting, I continued down the road, all alone, a stranger;
My eyes weeping, my heart in anguish, my mind bewildered, unaware.
(Niyazi al-Misri- The Flashes)

"The most important obligatory duty of this age is the union of Islam."
Badiuzzaman Said Nursi

For everyone, the case has opened by which they may either win, in return for belief, or lose, eternal properties as broad as the earth set with palaces and gardens. If they do not secure the document of belief, they will lose... And this age, many are losing the case because of the plague of materialism.

Thus in the gathering that takes place every spring we see that in the course of five or six days more than three hundred thousand different kinds of animal and plant are first gathered together and then dispersed. The roots of all the trees and plants, as well as some animals, are revived and restored exactly as they were. The other animals are recreated in a form so similar as to be almost identical. The seeds which appear, in their outward form, to be so close to each other, nonetheless, in the course of six days or six weeks, become distinct and differentiated from each other, and then with extreme speed, ease and facility, are brought to life in the utmost order and equilibrium. Is it at all possible that for the One Who does all of this anything should be difficult; that He should be unable to create the heavens and the earth in six days; that He should be unable to resurrect men with a single blast? No, by no means is it possible! (The Words)

How could the creation of paradise be difficult for the Possessor of Absolute Power Who each spring makes the face of the world into a plain of resurrection, and brings forth there a hundred thousand examples of resurrection? The Words
