Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
So God creates everything.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
But famous scholar, Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, he says, creation of evil is not evil, but committing evil is evil.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
What he means by that, you know, he uses the term, is not share, but is share.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
That's the term he uses.
Salih SayilganGUEST
So this Risale-i Nur is also a Qur'anic commentary.
Salih SayilganGUEST
It's a modern Qur'anic commentary that was written by Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, a late Ottoman scholar.
Salih SayilganGUEST
So he wrote in a time that kind of most of the institutions, they were shut down in the modern Turkey.
Salih SayilganGUEST

Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
Divine determining and the power of choice are aspects of a belief, which is iman, pertaining to state, and conscious, which shows the final limits of Islam and beliefs.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
They are not theoretical and do not pertain to knowledge." So, this is a very interesting sentence because when Bediüzzaman Said Nursi talks about qadr, divine determination, and also human free will, He says, these are aspects of iman, because as you know, one of the six essential articles of iman is qadr, belief in qadr.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
We say, wa bil qadri.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
And he's saying that they are pertaining to iman.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
They are outside of it.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
But Ehl-i Sunnat wa-l-Jama'at, that is us, what we believe in, is both qadr and free will exist together, coexist.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
So that is why, to explain this, sometimes even scholars had very difficult time And there's a part in this Risaleh that I'm reading, even Bediüzzaman Said Nursi says, this section can only be understood by highly regarded scholars.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
So I'm going to read that part as well.

Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
However, later on, when the infection, the term Bediüzzaman Said Nursi uses is worms here, but I use the term infection to make it more clear.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
Infection generated by his wounds penetrated to his heart and his tongue.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
The seed of the remembrance of Allah and the seed of knowledge.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
He granted Ayyub a.s. a perfect good health.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
and made manifest in him all kinds of compassion.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
There are five important points here, because most of you know the incident, the story of Jalb , but what are the five things we can derive, the lessons from this incident? The first point, according to Bediüzzaman, Corresponding to the outer wounds and sicknesses of Ayyub , we today have inner ailments of the spirit and the heart.
Omer Atilla ErgiGUEST
So he's saying that his illnesses were more physical on the outside or whatever the illness was.
