Management of educational affairs between Hajj Malik Sah and Imam Said Nursi

Abstract

In this article we’ll attempt to provide an easy glimpse on the focal points between the work (and endeavours) of two scholars whose affiliation with Islam and enthusiasm for its call brought together despite a series of obstacles: Seydi Hajj Mack sy from Senegal and Ustad Badi’ Al zaman Saeed Nursi. We’ll try a sum̵ up focusing on the efforts they both made in initiating social, educational and formative reforms. Throughout our readings of imam Nursi’s Resayel ennour, seminars we attended at Al Zaytouna University in Tunisia and talks about his achivements , it became clear to us we need to delve deeper and write an article on: the unity of their purpose, the convergence of their paths and their strategies of education despite the geographic distance and epoch they lived in. We’ll illustrate some of their concepts which, we think, are not different from…Seeing all the resemblances, as named above, between imam Nursi and Seydi Hajj Malick Sy, their separate epoch and county, we tried to present some of their thoughts and show that the message they both carried to their respective people doesn’t differ in its content as for dealing with their followers. However we the noticed some differences related to the political, colonial and economic context they faced.
