Abstract

This study explores the philosophical and socio-intellectual reconstruction of Islamic civilization in the modern era through the thought of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Nursi’s theological and epistemological framework provides a constructive response to the challenges of secular modernity, materialism, and moral disintegration within Muslim societies. Employing a qualitative method with a philosopical approach and content analysis method, this study critically examines Nursi’s primary texts—particularly the Risale-i Nur Collection—and contextualizes them within broader discourses of Islamic renewal and modernity. The findings reveal that Nursi’s concept of iman tahqiqi (verified faith) and his integration of reason and revelation serve as the foundation for reconstructing a spiritually rooted yet intellectually open Islamic civilization. His vision emphasizes moral reform, scientific advancement guided by divine purpose, and social cohesion based on justice and compassion. Moreover, Nursi’s approach bridges traditional religious scholarship with modern epistemology, offering a model for holistic development that reconciles faith, knowledge, and progress. The study concludes that Nursi’s thought remains profoundly relevant to contemporary Muslim societies facing crises of identity, secularization, and environmental degradation. It recommends further comparative research between Nursi’s civilizational vision and contemporary Islamic thinkers to formulate an integrative paradigm for Islamic civilization renewal in the 21st century.

Abstract

Marital intimacy is one of the fundamental pillars of family stability in Muslim societies, particularly in large families that face multiple economic, emotional, and parenting challenges. The present study aimed to examine the role of difficulties in emotion regulation and Islamic quality of life in predicting marital intimacy among large Muslim families with more than four children. This applied study employed a descriptive–correlational design. The statistical population consisted of parents with more than four children who resided in Abyek County in 2025. A total of 120 participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Marital Intimacy Questionnaire (Bagarozzi, 2001), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004), and the Islamic Quality of Life Questionnaire (Nezhadmohamad Nameghi et al., 2019). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that difficulties in emotion regulation had a significant negative relationship with marital intimacy, whereas Islamic quality of life showed a significant positive relationship with marital intimacy. The regression model revealed that these two variables jointly explained 36% of the variance in marital intimacy. The findings suggest that marital intimacy in large Muslim families emerges from the interaction between emotion regulation skills and spiritual–cultural resources grounded in an Islamic lifestyle. These results highlight the distinctiveness of the Islamic model of well-being compared to secular models and may contribute to the development of family-oriented policies and programs aimed at strengthening marital intimacy in Muslim societies.
