Free will versus belief in qadr? The response of Sa‘id Nursi and its modern relevance
Amilah Awang Abd Rahman1.
The need of modern man requires more practical
answer from religious perspective to support them in
facing rapid changes and high demands of life. The
issue of human will which is the most important and
fundamental foundation to the concept of
responsibility and morality is still open to discussion
and debate. This paper aims at exploring the view of
a reformer of Islam, Badiuzzaman Sa‘id Nursi in his
26th Word of his Risale-I Nur. Rather than having the
discourse in a purely theological method, Nursi
demonstrates it in a synthesis manner and suitable
with modern man. The issue which is normally
brought as juxtaposed with the concept of absolute
will of God is dealt with in a harmonious way and
suitable to all readers. Other than the
phenomenological approach to the ontology of
solving the relationship between God’s power and
human will, Nursi also brought in very remarkable
explanation about good and bad and how human
should deal with them. Through-out his explanation,
Nursi came with interesting illustrations and
therefore successful in explaining the issue
effectively. This suits his status as a reformer of
Islam who came to shed lights on crucial issues with
modern approach
