Yamina Bouguenayais a scholar of Islam and the director of Receiving Nur, a non-profit organization dedicated to Quranic wisdom. She is the author of Bilimin Marifetullah Boyutlari [Transcendental Dimensions of Science] and Living with Genuine Tawhid.She also holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Durham University.
The current volume is an annotated translation of selections from a noteworthy Muslim theologian Said Nursi (1876-1960) on the Quranic theme of oneness of God (tawhid). Given the scarcity of theological themes in Islamic literature in English as well as the lack of studies on Said Nursi, who wrote in Ottoman Turkish, the book is an important contribution to the field. It offers a contemporary peek into the view that faith in God could be profoundly meaningful and fulfilling spiritual path.
