The Concept of God According to Sa’id Nursi
Abstract
Abstract
The concept of God is a fundamental concept for every religion, especially
Islam. The concept of God in Islam is different from other religions, even
emerging from the time of the Greek philosophical tradition and Eastern
and Western mystical traditions. Not a few Muslims state that all religions
are the same God. This is a problem for the religions of this world.
Therefore, Sa’id Nursi clearly stated that the concept of God according to
Islam is different from the concept of God according to other religions. The
method used by the writer is descriptive and analytical. In this case,
Badi'uzzaman has a perspective on the concept of God. God, according to
Badi'uzzaman, is one immanent and radiates his light into the universe,
thus creating the greatness of the universe and its contents, which is often
called Tauhīd. Nursi understands monotheism as the basis of ideology and
epistemology viewing the universe. So, Nursi's concept of divinity
emphasizes the monotheistic aspect, in contrast to the esoteric and
exoteric sides.
