The research attempts to deal with this important subject in a way that demonstrates the harmony and interrelation of Said Nursi’s ideas and Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardawi, and their complementary nature. A good perception of those aims and the instances of wisdom proceeding from them will assist greatly in differentiating between the matters given priority by religion and the matters in which people get involved just as individuals and communities will adopt a line whereby they may reshape their lives in accordance with the Divine wishes; so they have to conform to the arrangement of the important aims and not confuse one with the other. Everything apart, the research considers that Said Nursi’s ideas and Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardawi on the subject deserve detailed investigation and scholarly analysis. Comprehensive and close study of their ideas will provide an opportunity to see their interrelatedness and harmony, and their complementary character. This paper studies and analyzes Said Nursi’s ideas and Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardawi about the Qur’anic aims. In the paper researchers endeavoured to maintain a scholarly balance while presenting the ideas of Said Nursi’s and other Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardawi. Finally, the paper tries to demonstrate differences between Said Nursi and Shaykh Yusuf al-Qardawi in respect of the harmony and interrelation of their ideas.
