İşârâtü l-İ câz
This book is a commentary on Surat al-Fatiha and the first thirty-three verses of Surat al-Baqara the aim of which is to expound the miraculous nature of the Qur'an's word order. For "the embroideries" of the positioning and arrangement of the Qur'an's words demonstrate one aspect of its inimitability or miraculousness. In doing this, the author was emulating the great masters of Arabic, rhetoric, and eloquence, but in addition to applying these and other traditional sciences, he was concerned to demonstrate the conformity of the Qur'an with reason and the modern physical sciences. In this way, he replied both to questions and doubts that had arisen in the face of scientific advances, and to demonstrate that, as the revealed Word of God, the Qur'an has continuing relevance in contemporary life. Thus, though composed in the early period of Said Nursi's life, under testing conditions in 1913-14, this book contains in concise form, the ideas and truths that he subsequently elaborated in the Risale-i Nur, and in many respects is of the greatest interest and importance for the people of the present.

About the author
Bediüzzaman Said Nursî
567 books174 followersSaid Nursî, (1878 – March 23, 1960) is an Islamic scholar who wrote Risale-i Nur Collection, a body of Qur'anic commentary exceeding six thousand pages. He is commonly known as Bediüzzaman, which means "the wonder of the age".
He was finally released in 1949. In the last decade of his life he settled in Isparta city. After the introduction of the multi-party system he advised his followers to vote for the Democratic Party of Adnan Menderes which gained the support of the rural and conservative populations. Because Said Nursî considered communism the greatest danger of that time, he also supported the pro-Western orientation of the Democrats, leading to his support of NATO, CENTO and Turkey's participation in the Korean war. He tried to unite Muslims and Christians in the struggle against communism and materialism therefore he corresponded with the Pope and the Greek Orthodox patriarch.
In 1956 he was allowed to have his writings printed. His books are collected under the name The Collection Of Risale-i Nur (Letters of Light).
His tomb in Urfa (demolished in July 1960)
He died of exhaustion after traveling to Urfa. He was buried on the premises where according to Islamic beliefs Abraham (Ibrahim) is buried. After the military coup d'état in Turkey in 1960, a group of soldiers led by the later extreme right-wing politician Alparslan Türkeş opened his grave and buried him at an unknown place near Isparta during July 1960 in order to prevent popular veneration. His followers are reported to have found his grave after years of searching in the area, and took his remains to a secret place in an effort to protect his body from further disturbance. Now, only two followers of him know where he is buried. When one of them dies, the other one tells one more person the secret place of the grave reducing the chance that the place be forgotten. Interestingly enough, he wrote in a treaty (risala), that no one should know where his tomb is.

Fatiha suresi ve Bakara suresinin ilk ayetlerinin tefsiri yapılırken, aynı zamanda İslam inanç esaslarına dair birçok hakikatin ispatlandığı harika bir eser.
Okudukça Kur'an'ın her bir harfinin mucize olduğuna iman tazeliyorsunuz.
İyi anlamak için Arapça bilmek gerekiyor, ama Arapça bilmeyen birisi okuduğunda da yine kazanacağı çok şey olur.
Büyük ilmî eserlerin genelinde olduğu gibi, yoğun ve anlamak için çaba gerektiren bir anlatımı var.
Her sabah 3-4 sayfa okuyarak birkaç ayda bitirebildim.
Dönüp tekrar tekrar okumak isteyeceğim kitaplar listesinde.

Tefsir anlayışı, Kur'an'ın i'cazına dayanan Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, İşaratü'l-İ'caz adlı eseri ile yeni tefsir anlayışı hakkında küçük
bir örnek sunmak istediğini belirtmiş, kapsamlı bir tefsir yazımını, bir müellifin hakkıyla yerine getiremeyeceğini, bunu ancak bir hey' etin yapabileceğini, her mufessirin Kur'an'ın külli anlam manzumesinden kendi uzmanlık alanına uygun olanı seçip alması gerektiğini dile getirmiştir.
