Foreword
Think about a small child who saw a very intresting impressive event and struggling to express it with non-grammatical sentences.In fact he doesn't use complete sentences and some separate words without good connection, but you can understand what he means by listening to the simple words he uses. In that case, you don't care about how good sentences he makes and you only deal with what he means.
Our position in publishing a periodical like The New horizons which is planned to express its ideas in English, and to those who use English as their native languages, is similar to that child's. We ,of course don't aim to produce pieces of literature in this position which would be a useless struggle. So you should care about what we say instead of how we say.
Is there an intresting event that has impressed us very much and we want to transmit to the others around us like in child's position? Without hesitation our answer is YES! We belive that every individual person in the world , and as the represantatives of them the scientists are looking for the answers of questions as "What is life?", "Who are we?" , "Where have we come from?" , "Where will we go after death?" and so on... The whole struggle of human beeins can be summerized as an act aiming to answer these mandatory questions. A group of people in Turkey feel themselves very satisfied and they feel confidence in finding answers to those type of questions. The reason is that they read The Risale-i Nur Collection and they say that they find saticfactory explanations. Many people in Turkey, when the collection is introduced to them say, " Oooh! Thanks God! That is the thing I was looking for!" So we thought it is every indivioual's right who has the same problems. In our periodical we will try to give the Risale-i Nur's point of wiew which is very different and intresting. In this issue you will find some articals ohose who are looking to the events from Risale-i Nur's point of wiew and you will feel the difference in evaluation of the events. We try to solve the problems not as a small group of people and as a sigle country. We evaluate them as homan beeings problems and homan beeings should solve them. So, we will also struggle for a close contact among the religions and some actions in unity.
Every point of wiew is a new horizon and new horizons will bring new hopes to your life. Once try to look from the point of New Horizons or Nur Horizons! IT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR LIFE AS IT DID FOR MANY FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD!
