From the Risale-i Nur Collection: A Prescription for the Ulema

The basis of Bediuzzaman’s argument was that “Islam” is founded on reality, girded with proof, consult with reason, is seated on the throne of truth, and is conformable with the principles of wisdom (in the cosmos) that continue in sequence from pre-eternity to post-eternity.” In the course of time, however, Islam as it was in reality had become obscured due to neglect and other circumstances, causing the declines of the Muslims and the Islamic World.

Bediuzzaman argued that since the Qur’an address the human reason and conscience and other inner faculties, it indicates the path to be taken to reverse the decline.
