Start up Nur

Start up thinking
to quickly build
Risale-i Nur ideas.

Many discover Risale-i Nur's profound wisdom but face barriers—language difficulties, lack of local communities, or uncertainty about where to begin. We're building bridges over these gaps, ensuring your spiritual journey continues with the right support at every step.

In this site, we will explain the Risale-i Nur projects we want to build and how we plan to build them. Using startup thinking and modern technology, we'll show you our roadmap for creating accessible, impactful resources for everyone.

Welcome

What type of Risale-i Nur projects should we build? The Learner's Journey framework helps us understand how to support learners at every stage of their spiritual growth. Our Method outlines how we approach building these projects. You can see our work in action through our current projects.

Learner's Journey

Learning the Risale-i Nur is a journey. Think about that journey and ask if we have the right things in place to support a person at each stage.

Searching Discovering Exploring Engaging Transforming Service Spiritual

Searching

I realise that there is more to life and I begin seeking answers. I want to find foundational resources that address my questions about the meaning of life and the existence of God. The focus here is to understand what the big questions are.

Discovering

I am finding amazing articles, videos, podcasts that help me to discover Islam and the answers of the Risale-i Nur.

Exploring

This thing called the Risale-i Nur is very new to me. I want to learn more about it but almost everything is in Turkish. I start to find more English Risale-i Nur resources that allow me to freely explore its world.

Engaging

I want to find a community of Risale-i Nur readers. I may be lucky to have a community in my area or I might need support to join an online community.

Transforming

I am beginning to apply these teachings in my life. I need practical resources like prayer guides and daily reading schedules to help me establish new habits.

Service

I want to contribute to the Risale community through Hizmet. I need guidance on how to participate in and support community initiatives.

Spiritual

I am seeking deeper spirituality and connection. I want to participate in spiritual retreats and advanced study programmes for lifelong growth.

Method

Modern in our approach, traditional in our values - creating a bridge between innovation and spiritual sincerity.

1. Start Up Methodology

We apply lean startup principles to spiritual projects, focussing on rapid iteration and learning from feedback.

Our approach emphasizes building minimum viable products quickly and testing ideas with real users early in the process. We embrace the philosophy of learning from failures and iterating fast, using data-driven decisions to guide our development process. This methodology allows us to create meaningful solutions while remaining agile and responsive to community needs.

2. Leverage AI

Use artificial intelligence tools to accelerate development and enhance productivity.

By intelligently incorporating AI tools into our workflow, we automate repetitive tasks and generate content more efficiently. This approach allows us to scale projects effectively while maintaining quality. Most importantly, it frees up human resources to focus on what matters most: creativity, strategic thinking, and ensuring our projects maintain their spiritual essence and authenticity.

3. Self Fund

Maintain independence and focus through self-funding initiatives.

Our commitment to self-funding ensures we maintain complete independence in our decision-making process. We begin with available resources, growing organically based on the value we create. This sustainable approach allows us to build long-term projects that remain true to their purpose, free from external pressures or conflicting interests.

4. Build for the Learner's Journey

Create projects that support each stage of the spiritual journey.

Every project we develop is carefully designed with the learner's journey in mind. We deeply understand the needs at each stage of spiritual development, creating specific touchpoints that resonate with learners wherever they are on their path. By establishing clear progression paths, we support continuous spiritual growth and ensure no one is left behind in their journey of discovery and understanding.
