In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

Preface

Thirteen years ago, my heart combined with my mind and urged me to the way of reflective thought which the Qur’an of Miraculous Exposition commands with such verses as, That you may consider.(2:219; 2:266) * Perchance they may reflect.(7:176, etc.) * Do they not reflect in their own minds, did God create the heavens and the earth?(30:8) * There are signs for those who consider.(13:3, etc.) The Hadith the meaning of which is “An hour’s reflective thought is better than a year’s [supererogatory] worship”(*)states that on occasion an hour’s reflection may be equivalent to a year’s worship. It also offers powerful encouragement for reflective thought. For myself, in order to preserve the extensive lights and lengthy truths which appeared to my mind and heart during the thirteen years I have followed this way, I recorded a number of phrases by way of indications, not to point out those lights but to indicate their existence, facilitate reflection, and preserve the order. I used to recite the phrases to myself verbally in varying Arabic terms when I embarked on the reflection.

Although repeated thousands of times over this long period, I never became wearied, nor did the pleasure they afforded diminish, nor the spirit’s need of them lessen. For since the reflection all consisted of flashes from Qur’anic verses, the qualities of not causing weariness and preserving their sweetness, which are qualities of the verses, were represented in the mirror of that reflective thought.

I realized recently that the powerful source of life and brilliant lights in the various parts of the Risale-i Nur are flashes of those sequences of thought. Thinking that they would affect others as they had affected me, I formed the intention to set them all down in writing towards the end of my life. For sure, important parts of them have been included in the Risale-i Nur but a further power and value will be found in them in their totality.

Since the end of life is not clear, and since the conditions here of my imprisonment have taken on a form worse than death, not waiting for my life to end, on the insistence and importunit y of my brothers I have written those sequences of thought without changing them, as seven chapters.

[The remaining six chapters of this Flash have been published in hand-duplicated editions of The Flashes, and not included here.]

THE THIRD CHAPTER

On the Degrees of ‘God is Most Great!’

We shall mention seven of its thirty-three degrees. An important part of those degrees have been expounded in the Second Station of the Twentieth Letter, at the end of the Second Stopping-Place of the Thirty-Second Word, and at the beginning of the Third Stopping-Place. Those who want to understand the reality of those degrees should refer to those two parts of the Risale-i Nur.

THE FIRST DEGREE

Say: “Praise be to God who begets no son and has no partner in [His] dominion: nor [needs] He any to protect Him from humiliation: yes, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!”(17:111)

God is Most Great, may His Glory be exalted! In power and knowledge, greater is He than everything. For He is the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form, who through His power fashions man like the universe; He writes the universe with the pen of His determining as He writes man with the same pen. For the macrocosm is like the microcosm: both are fashioned by His power, inscribed by His pen; He creates the macrocosm as a place of prostration, while He gives existence to the microcosm as prostrating; He brings the former into being as a property, while He gives existence to the latter as owned and needy for the property; His art in the former displays it as a book, while His colouring in the latter shines through speech; His power in the former reveals His majesty, while His mercy in the latter arrays His bounty; His majesty in the former testifies that He is One, while His bounty in the latter proclaims that He is Single, Undivided; His stamp on the former is on all things, universal and particular, whether at rest or in motion, while His seal on the latter is on the body and on the limbs, and on their cells and particles.

Now consider His works as a whole: you will see as clearly as daylight absolute profusion within absolute order and regularity; with absolute speed yet absolute balance; with absolute ease yet with absolute skill; on a vast scale yet with absolute beauty of art; over infinite distances yet with complete unity of kind; with absolute intermingling, yet absolute differentiation; with absolute lack of expense together with absolute value. This situation testifies to the mind, as it compels the foolish dissembler to accept, that this art and unity is the work of a possessor of absolute power, a possessor of absolute knowledge. In unity lies absolute ease, while in multiplicity and associating partners with God are incomprehensible difficulties.

If all things are attributed to one, the universe’s creation is as easy as the creation of a palm-tree, and the palm-tree as the fruit. But when ascribed to multiplicity, to create a palm-tree is as difficult as creating the universe and each fruit as difficult as the tree – so difficult as to be impossible. For with a single act, a single person may obtain a single result and situation for many things without difficulty and without having recourse to other means. Whereas if the situation and result are referred to many, they could be obtained only with great trouble and dispute and pursuing other means. It would be like an officer referring his duty to the soldiers, the master builder to the stones of a building, the earth to the planets, the waterfall to the drops of water, and the central point of a circle to all the points on the circumference.Through the mystery of relations an unlimited power is present in unity. A thing or cause is not compelled to carry the sources of its strength, and the work resulting from the cause acquires greatness in relation to the thing on which it relies. But when partners are associated with God, all causes are obliged to carry their own sources of strength, and the resulting works diminish to their extent. It is because of this that an ant and a fly defeated tyrants, and a tiny seed bears upon it a huge tree.

If all things are ascribed to one person, there is no need for creation from absolute non-existence, for it consists of transferring a being which has existence in knowledge to external existence, like transferring the image on the mirror at the back of a camera onto photographic paper, thus establishing its external existence with complete ease, or like revealing words written in invisible ink by spreading a special substance on the writing. When things are ascribed to causes and multiplicity, it necessitates their creation from absolute non-existence and this is impossible, the most difficult of things. In unity is an ease; it is so easy as to be necessary.

While in multiplicity is great difficulty; such difficulty as to be impossible. With unity, it is possible to create a being from absolute non-existence. That is, to create a being out of pure non-being instantaneously, without matter, and to pour particles into a mould that exists as knowledge without difficulty or confusion.

While as all the intelligent agree, with multiplicity and associating partners with God, original creation is not possible from non-existence. Because for the existence of a living creature, particles and elements dispersed throughout the earth have to be gathered together.

And when there is no mould existent in knowledge, all the particles have to possess all-encompassing knowledge and absolute will so as to preserve the particles in the body of the animate creature. In addition, there is no need at all for those things assumed to be partners to God, just as it is impossible that they should be. To make such a claim, therefore, is purely arbitrary; there is nothing in beings to suggest that they have any role in their creation, no sign. For the creation of the heavens and the earth necessitates perfect, infinite power, which is in no need of partners. If there were partners, it would necessitate their limiting that infinite and utterly perfect power and bringing it to an end in infinite time, although there is no necessity for this, indeed, although the reverse is necessitated; and this is impossible in five respects. Such partners are therefore impossible and precluded. Moreover, beings in no way suggest or point to their existence. We have expounded this matter in the First Stopping-Place of the Thirty-Second Word, showing how all things from minute particles to planets, and from the planets to individual facial features in the Second Stopping-Place, reject the ascribing of partners to God, and pointing out the stamp of divine unity on each of them. Just as He has no partners, so He has no assistants or ministers.

Causes are merely fine veils to the disposals of pre-eternal power; in reality they have no creative effect. For man is the highest of causes and the one with the most extensive will, and out of a hundred parts of the most obvious volitional acts such as eating, speaking, and thinking, he has only one dubious part. If the true power of disposal of the highest of causes and the one with the most extensive will is thus restricted, how is it possible for the animals and inanimate creatures to have a part in the creation and dominicalit y of the Creator of the heavens and the earth?

Just as the envelope in which a king sends a gift, or the handkerchief in which he wraps a present, or the retainer who brings the gift to you, cannot be partners in the king’s sovereignty, so the causes by which bounties are sent, or the coffers containing the bounties stored up for us, or the causes wrapped up as divine gifts and sent to us as presents, cannot be partners to or assistants of God, or intermediaries which have any effect.

THE SECOND DEGREE

God is Most Great, may His glory be exalted; He is greater than everything in power and knowledge. He is the Creator, All-Knowing, the Maker, All-Wise, Most Merciful, All-Compassionate. For the beings of the earth and the lofty celestial bodies in the garden of the universe are self-evidently miracles of an All-Knowing Creator’s power; and the adorned, multicoloured plants laid out in the park of the face of the earth and the many varieties of animals displayed and dispersed through the park are necessarily the wonders of art of an All-Wise Maker; and the smiling flowers and decorated fruits in the gardens of this park are clearly the gifts of One Most Merciful and Compassionate. These miracles of power and wonders of art and gifts of mercy testify, call out, and proclaim that their Creator, Fashioner, and Bestower is powerful over all things, and knowing of all things, that His mercy and knowledge encompass all things. In relation to His power particles and stars are equal; few and many are equal; small and great, finite and infinite are equal.

All the events of the past and its strange happenings, which are miracles of an All-Wise Maker’s art, testify that the Maker is powerful over all the possibilities of the future and its strange events, for He is an All-Knowing Creator, Exalted, All-Wise.

Glory be to the One who made the earth the exhibition of His art, the gathering place of His creatures, the manifestation of His power, the means of His wisdom, the garden of His mercy, the arable field of His Paradise, the place of passage of creatures, the river-bed through which beings flow, the measure of His artefacts.

The embellished animals, the decorated birds, the fruitful trees, the flower- adorned plants are all miracles of His knowledge, marvels of His fashioning, gifts of His munificence, proofs of His grace. Blossoms smiling with the adornment of fruits, birds singing in the early morning breeze, rain pattering on the petals of flowers, mothers tenderly embracing their young, all make known One All-Loving, make loved One Most Merciful, Most Kind and Generous to jinn and man, to spirit beings, the angels, and to animals.
