The Istanbul Foundation for Science and Culture (İİKV) hosted a meaningful visit today. The international student delegation from the Intercultural Research and Friendship Foundation (KARVAK) visited İİKV's headquarters located in the Vefa district.

A Journey of Knowledge from All Around the World

40 international students from different countries across the globe, notably Syria, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia, came together in the spiritual atmosphere of Vefa. Within the scope of the program, lessons from the Risale-i Nur Collection were taught to the guest students, and the universal messages of Quranic truths were shared.

Inclusive Message from Said Yüce

Coming together with the students, Said Yüce, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of İİKV, emphasized that the foundation's doors are always open to students of knowledge from all over the world. In his speech, Yüce drew attention to the following important point:

"The door of our foundation is open to everyone. You must know that the Risale-i Nur does not belong solely to the 'Nurcus', but is the property of all Muslims, and it is a lesson of the Quran for this century."
