ABSTRACT
Said Nursi was unique among contemporary Islamic scholars in that he claimed to have proved the resurrection of the dead “to ordinary people and even children,”1 although, as he pointed out, a genius like Ibn Sina had maintained that it could not be established by rational criteria.2 This chapter will investigate the basis of Nursi’s claim; in other words, it will attempt to pinpoint and set out those aspects of the method he developed with the Risale-i Nur that provide such clear proofs of this, one of the great mysteries of religion.
