Political Militant Islam portal Nurism (Turkish: Nurculuk) is an Islamist movement that was founded in Turkey in the early 20th century and based on the writings of Said Nursi (1877–1960).
[1] He emphasized the importance of salvation in both this life and the afterlife through education and freedom, the synthesis of Islam and science, and democracy as the best form of governance within the rule of law.
Sharia applies to the voluntary actions of human beings and denotes the set of laws of nature.
[4] The Nur Movement promotes the concept of the Quran as a "living document" which needs to be continually re-interpreted.
[8] After Said Nursi's death on March 23, 1960, many Nurist groups emerged as a result of differences of opinion on issues such as the understanding of governance, view of political events, ethnic origin, and service method.
