The Nurcu Movement is a religious and social movement that emerged in Turkey in the early 20th century, founded by the Islamic scholar Bediüzzaman Said Nursi. It emphasizes the importance of faith, education, and the interpretation of the Qur'an in a modern context. The movement seeks to promote spiritual development and moral values among its followers, often through the study of Nursi's writings, particularly the Risale-i Nur collection. The Nurcu Movement has played a significant role in Turkish society, especially during periods of political repression. It has inspired various groups and individuals to engage in social and educational initiatives, focusing on the integration of Islamic principles with contemporary life. The movement has also faced challenges from both secular and religious authorities, leading to a complex relationship with the state.
