Quote

“In these bleak and inauspicious days, when our hearts are overwhelmed with enmity, when our spirits are sickened, when hatred and antagonism are out of control, it is crystal clear that we need love and mercy as we need water or air.”
-Fethullah Gulen

Life's Basic Questions - Creation Indicates God\'s Existence
Written by Bediuzzaman Said Nursi   
Tuesday, 31 January 2006

Thirty-third window: Consider the following verses:

All praise be to God. Who has sent down to His servant the Book and has allowed therein no crookedness. (18:1)

Alif Lam Mim Ra. A Book which We have sent to you so that you may bring men forth from darkness to light. (14:1)

Consider that all the previous Windows are a few drops from the ocean of the Qur'an and try to understand how many lights of Divine Unity like water of life there are in the Qur'an. Even if you have a simple superficial look at the Qur'an which is the source and mine of all those previous Windows still it is a most shining luminous comprehensive Window. To understand how brilliant and luminous that Window is you may refer to the Treatise of the Qur'an's Miraculousness which is the Twenty‑fifth Word and the Eighteenth Sign of the Nineteenth Letter. Supplicating the Throne of Mercy of the Majestic Being. Who sent us the Qur'an we say:

Our Lord! Do not call us to account if we have forgotten or made errors! Our Lord! Do not cause our hearts to swerve after You have guided us! Our Lord! Accept from us surely You are the All‑Hearing the All‑Knowing. Accept our penitence surely You are the Oft‑Relenting the All‑Merciful.

A note

I hope this Thirty‑third Word with 33 windows may help an unbeliever to accept belief and that it may strengthen the belief of one whose belief is weak and lead one with strong belief based on imitation to have substantial belief and then to expand that substantial belief. I hope that it may lead one with expanded belief to progress in knowledge of God which is the source of all kinds of true progress and evolution and open up before him more luminous more brilliant scenes. For this reason you should regard one window to be sufficient for you because even if your mind has received its share and obtained conviction your heart will also demand its share as will your spirit. Even the imaginative faculty will demand its share from that light. It is because of this that each window has benefits of its own.

Peace be upon those who follow the true guidance. May those who follow their whims and illusions receive what they deserve.

Glory be to You. We have no knowledge save what You have taught us. You are All‑Knowing. All‑Wise.

O God bestow blessings and peace upon him whom You sent as a mercy for the worlds and upon his Family and Companions. Amin.
