The whole humanity that is currently in deep crisis shall not attain peace and happiness until and unless it is truly united from within. That is only promising if the teachings of Islam at large especially those related to the concept of brotherhood are followed in their real spirit. Negation of these values leads to chaos and confusion in the whole society; and that is what the human beings are witnessing at the moment. This bond on the one hand solves the worldly problems and on the other hand is the cause of Allah’s pleasure to Whom social status, national superman-ship and racial origin are irrelevant. He created all human beings as equal from a single parenthood. Allah has put responsibilities on the Muslims not only to recognize and protect the rights of other Muslims but of non-Muslims as well. It is for this reason that Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960) describes ‘brotherhood’ as the vital component of Islam to cure the grievous sicknesses besetting the humanity in general and the Muslim community in particular. Focusing on these values, the paper is an attempt to study and highlight the ties and relationships as established by Allah in the context of Risale-i-Nur of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi.
