On 4 December 2012, IAIS Malaysia in collaboration with the Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture (Turkey) and the Malaysian Turkish Dialogue Society organised the International Conference on the Role of Science and Arts in Islamic Civilisational Renewal, on the theme “Science and Culture as Key Dimensions of Civilisational Renewal: The Thoughts of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi”. Bediuzzaman (“Wonder of the Age”) Said Nursi (1877-1960) was a Turkish scholar during the twilight years of the Ottomans and the founding of the modern Republic of Turkey by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He is known largely for his intellectual-spiritual jihad in restoring the rational basis of religious truth and eliminating divisive tendencies between the religious and intellectual sciences.
