The Nur movement (Turkish: Nurculuk, also known as Nurcu) is an Islamist movement in Turkey based on the writings of Said Nursi (d. 1960),[1] which promoted the concept of the Quran as a "living document" which needed to be continually re-interpreted.[2]
The group was opposed by the government during the 1960s and 1970s due to its Islamism.[3] The group fragmented substantially in the 1970s and 1980s.[4]
