Abstract

This article investigates the genealogical relationship between Said Nursi’s Qurʼanic exegetical thought and the Ottoman intellectual tradition, with particular emphasis on the intellectual lineage connecting Ottoman institutional tafsir, as represented by Abu al-Suʼud Efendi, and Nursi’s modern-reformist hermeneutics. This study aims to identify how Ottoman exegetical authority, political structures, and intellectual transmission shaped the foundations of Nursi’s tafsir methodology. Employing a genealogical approach combined with socio-historical and hermeneutic analysis, and relying on content analysis of primary and secondary sources, this study reveals three principal findings: first, Nursi was deeply embedded in the Ottoman educational tradition through his madrasah formation and early scholarly networks; second, his engagement with Abu al-Suʼud’s textual legacy, whether direct or mediated, constitutes a foundational intellectual inheritance that Nursi simultaneously preserved and transformed; and third, the transition from institutional exegesis (Abu al-Suʼud) to social-reformist exegesis (Nursi) represents an internal dialectical evolution, not a rupture. The primary contribution of this study lies in reconceptualizing Turkish tafsir as an unbroken genealogical chain shaped by the interplay of interpretive authority, political transformation, and social change.
