The question of civilization, shaped largely by the encounter of the Islamic world with modern Western civilization, drew the attention of many Muslim thinkers. Due to its geographical proximity to Europe, the Ottoman Empire not only became entangled in numerous military conflicts with major European powers but also, under cultural, social, and political pressures, underwent various internal transformations that ultimately led to its fragmentation and collapse. This bitter historical experience prompted many intellectuals of the region to reflect on how to understand Europe and modern Western civilization, how to interact with it, and how to restore the lost grandeur of the Muslim ummah (community). Bediuzzaman Said Nursi is one of these thinkers who, inspired by his Sufi-oriented life in Anatolia, saw the remedy for the crises of the Islamic world in returning to the Qur’an—a view that is manifested in his exegesis, Risale-i Nur. This return to the Qur’an forms the basis of his theory of a “Qur’anic Civilization,” which he presents as a clear, structured, and coherent conceptual system. The present article seeks to explicate Said Nursi’s civilizational theory. Data collection is carried out using a library-based (documentary) method. Tafsir Risale-i Nur, as the most important source for understanding Nursi’s ideas, is used as the primary reference. The analysis of data is conducted within the framework of civilizational studies.
