Description :
Twenty-five remedies for those who are ill [from The Gleams, the Twenty-fifth Gleam]. This treatise was written as a medicine, a solace, a spiritual prescription, and as a visit wishing recovery for those who are ill.
A reminder and an apology: This spiritual prescription, which was written at great speed, has not been revised and has been left as it occurred to my heart. Therefore, I request the readers, and particularly the unwell, not to feel offended by any disagreeable expressions that may be contained within. I also request them to pray for me.
Those who, when a disaster befalls them, say,
“Surely we belong to God (as His creatures and servants),
and surely to Him we are bound to return.” (2: 156)
“And He it is Who gives me food and drink;
And Who, when I fall ill, heals me.” (26: 79–80).
In this Gleam, we explain the twenty-five remedies which may offer true consolation for those who are ill or struck by misfortune, who make up one tenth of humankind.

Bediüzzaman and the Risale-i Nur :
In the many dimensions of his lifetime of achievement, as well as in his personality and character, Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, may Allah have mercy upon him, (1877-1960) was and, through his continuing influence, still is an important thinker and writer in the Muslim world. He represented in a most effective and profound way the intellectual, moral and spiritual strengths of Islam, evident in different degrees throughout its fourteen century history. He lived for eighty-five years. He spent almost all of those years, overflowing with love and ardor for the cause of Islam, in a wise and measured activism based on sound reasoning and in the shade of the Qur'an and the Prophetic example.
