Is Said Nursî considered a "Sufi" by his followers?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Maybe

  • Sometimes

Answer

Although Nursi was influenced by Sufi tradition, he is not considered a "Sufi" by his followers. Rather, they view him as a "preacher of Islam" and a "religious scholar." This is because Nursi's teachings are based on the Qur'an and Hadith, and he does not emphasize the importance of mystical experience or spiritual practice.
