Speaking on the anniversary of the death of Master Bediüzzaman Said-i Nursi, one of the important Mujaddid of the era, people of Bitlis, a central-eastern province of Turkiye, made important determinations about his personality and struggle.

The NGO and political party representatives who drew attention to the light radiated by Master Bediüzzaman to the world, who was born in Nurs, a small village in Hizan District of Bitlis, emphasized that today there is a need for the message of brotherhood, which Bediüzzaman expressed many years ago.

Pointing out that a great scholar came out of a small village; Diyanet Union Chairman Cebrail Yakışır said that the ideas of Master Bediüzzaman should be owned.

"Bediüzzaman's ideas, thoughts and opinions are really great"

Recalling that Master Bediüzzaman was born in the village of Nurs of Bitlis, Yakışır said Bediüzzaman was the fourth of seven children of Mirza and Nuriye.

"It is important that a great scholar comes out of such a small village. Bediüzzaman's ideas, thoughts, and opinions are really great. Indeed, these great ideas from this small village almost illuminated the world."

"The efforts he has made at the point of saving Muslims' faith are admirable. It is not possible for young people and atheists to read his works and still do not believe [God]."

"We need Bediüzzaman's call for unity more today"

Yakışır pointed out that today there is a need for the call of the unity of Master Bediüzzaman. "Therefore, we are proud to have such an important personality, a man of personality, a man of character, a man who devoted his life to Islam completely, as our fellow countryman."

"We need to spread his ideas all over the world. This is a must for the interest of the people. We really need Bediüzzaman's call for unity today more than ever. I believe that if we listen to his call here if we provide unity and fraternity if we start with ourselves first, we will succeed."

"He has always served his cause with sacrifice and loyalty throughout his life"

Master Bediüzzaman's only problem is that he has been mortgaged by someone to his will to settle the institution of faith said Education-One Union Bitlis Branch Cabir Durak.

Durak stated they have testified in history that a man, who has faith in the true sense, has challenged the world. "When we examine the Master's life, he did not sit in his house and live in luxury. Unfortunately, he has encountered many obstacles and has been poisoned many times."

"But did he give up his cause? Absolutely not. He has always served in that direction with sacrifice and loyalty throughout his life on that path he believes in. He spent most of his life in prisons. But still, he wrote his complete works."

"Bediüzzaman has a legacy"

Stating that Master Bediüzzaman Said-I Nursi has made a big breakthrough, Durak said: "We see faith as an indispensable foundation for us today."

"When we believe in the true meaning and follow the commands of Allah in our lives, then the true identity of the Muslim will be revealed. This masterpiece presented to the service of people in this century with so much effort and difficulties must lead to the current society and the next society and the principles of this need to be applied to life."

"His books have to be read to our students and children and they have to be experienced. Bediüzzaman has left a legacy. If we do not have this legacy, I fear that if we do not take the necessary measures to build our country today in accordance with the principles of faith, our children who are guaranteed our future will have bad days."

"We will succeed Allah willing when we hold tightly to the rope of Allah."

"Bediüzzaman was a thinker, a glossator, and also a scholar who devoted himself to Allah"

Underlining that Master Bediüzzaman is a man of the case, HUDA PAR Bitlis President Celal Gül added Bediüzzaman was a thinker, a glossator, and also a scholar who devoted himself to Allah.

"He was a man of Jihad who runs all over for all people's faith. 'I am facing a fire. The flames rose up to heaven, burning my brother's faith in it. I am running to save my brother, to save his faith.' The Master says here that spent 28 years of his life in prisons, has been subjected to all kinds of torture and injected poison 18 times, in order to save the faith of the Ummah, he suffered from these torments and tribulations."

"The seeds of Bediüzzaman sprouted as religious science nests"

Reminding that the Master Bediüzzaman had been interested in science since he was young and had visited many scientific centers on his journey, the head of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation [IHH] Tatvan Branch Muzaffer Yaşcan said that Bediüzzaman had a vast accumulation of knowledge that exceeded the limits of classical madrasa education despite his young age.
