                Risale-i Nur ("Letters of Light", a collection of all his writings)
                fulfilled that function:

                     Yes, the Risale-i Nur and faith based on truth and proof and
                     the truths of the Qur'an, explains and elucidates matters in a
                     manner appropriate to the times and in such a way that the
                     community can accept them, has led to millions of people
                     examining faith and belief, awoken Islamic love and
                     dialogue in their souls, and built a spiritual wall against
                     atheism and immorality, the signs of anarchy. Yes, the
