Abstract

As a 20th-century Sunnī Muslim scholar, the works of Sa'id Nursī have a e range of followers in Turkey for their powerful and unique approach to the articles of faith and the pillars of Islam. However, unfortunately, there is a lack of academic work comparing Nursī with the previous Muslim scholars and analyzing and comparing his argumentations. Therefore, this thesis focuses on Nursī's approach to proving the resurrection and the afterlife comparing him with Fakhr al-Dīn al-Raz̄i since Razī represented the sum of all previous Muslim argumentations in the subject. The result showed the Nursī combined his Sufi background employing the names and attributes of God to show the necessity of physical resurrection in a manner distinct from previous scholars. First, he established a universe in which the reader develops a personal relationship with the Creator through the names and attributes of Him. Then he argues why the disposition and ability of God require resurrection and afterlife for His servants. This approach is unique to Nursī, and this thesis aims to prove this claim.
