You can READ Risale-i Nur collection comparatively between English, Arabic, Russian, Persian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, French and Turkish. Badiuzzaman Said Nursi - Treatise of Light Collection The Collection of Risale-i Nur proves and explains the truths of faith in conformity with modern science through rational proofs and evidence. Thus, rather than being a Qur’anic commentary which expounds all its verses giving the immediate reasons for their revelation and the apparent meanings of the words and sentences, the Risale-i Nur is what is known as amânevî tefsir, or commentary which expounds the meaning of the Qur’anic truths. The verses mostly expounded in the Risale-i Nur are those concerned with the truths of belief, such as the Divine Names and attributes and the Divine activity in the universe, the Divine existence and Unity, resurrection, prophethood, Divine Determining or destiny, and man’s duties of worship. Bediuzzaman explains how the Qur’an addresses all men in every age in accordance with the degree of their understanding and development; it has a face that looks to each age. The Risale-i Nur, then, explains that face of the Qur’an which looks to this age. We shall now look at further aspects of the Risale-i Nur related to this point. ---------- OTHER LANGUAGES: SPANISH, RUSSIAN, JAPANESE, CHINESE, FRENCH, GERMAN (DEUTSCHE), INDONESIAN

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Kur'an at 1.6K against Risale's 14. Kur'an also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). Risale's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Kur'an holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7.

Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Kur'an's written reviews are positive against 71% of Risale's.
Kur'an ships an update every 3 months, Risale every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 29, 2026 respectively.
