Özet:

 


This research study draws an image of
prophethood in the pre-Islamic era. It quotes history of Prophets to confirm
its conclusions in various contexts. Moreover, the research focuses on
evidences that confirm its outcomes. It also enriches the results with ”evidence“,
”facts“ and ”idea“. Thus, the research affirms that the essence of life
revolves around believing in the prophets, because they are the guides towards
the Almighty (the Eternal, the Ever-lasting), and His qualities of perfection.
The message of Islam and the book of Qur'an in particular repeat the stories of
prophets in various chapters focusing on the fact that prophets are always
winners in their struggle to uplift humanity and human-being (as he is the
center of the universe) to the highest degree in order to be part of the
blessed convoy of prophets and their followers. Having approached that state,
man becomes capable of fulfilling the task of being vicegerent on earth. Nursi,
in order to illustrate these facts, focused on the stories of prophets. He
explained and reflected on them as the story of Abraham, Joseph, Job, Moses,
Jonah, and Jesus. In this context, Nursi refutes allegations which claim that
the success of West is the result of its denial of religion, and that if we
ever want to be successful, we have to refrain from religion as the West had
done.  He also refutes sayings which
state that being religious is the reason for our backwardness. He explains how
far from Islam and its teachings are these beliefs. Islam contains basics of development
and civilization and it meets with real Christianity. Thus, we accept and
believe in what we had been told by Prophet Mohammed that Jesus will descent
and belong to the community of Islam ummah and follow Islam's teachings.
