The
spiritual sun of the sky of this Universe, the Holy QURAN has
been radiating its lights and rays in order to decipher the
creational verses of the Supreme Book of Existence. It has been
indicating the Straight Path by illuminating the minds of the
human beings.
Each and every individual of the Mankind can
see and know the purposes of his existence, the desires in his
nature and the goal of his destination under the Light of this
Sun of Guidance. Those who are the object of manifestations
of this Light of Guidance, can obtain spiritual proximity by
acting like a mirror to this Light in degree of the capacity
of their hearts. The true nature of the Beings and the Life
can be visible and comprehensible under this Light.
Representing the spiritual Light of Guidance
of the Eternal Sun, the HOLY QURAN ensures to see the TRUTH
and the Reality with the eyes of the mind and the heart. Those
who are distant from its Light will stay in the darkness of
unbelief. Because all can be visible and comprehensible by that
Light.
The spiritual personality of the Risale-i Nur (Treatises of Light)
which are called in this century by the name of THE LIGHT has
become the object of manifestation of the Light of the Holy
QURAN which is the spiritual and eternal Sun of this Universe.
These Lights have been illuminating the Straight
Path like Search Lights for those people who are bat like unwilling
to leave the darkness, and those who turn their daytimes into
night due to their sleeps of oblivion, those who fell into dissoluteness
and dissipation, those who believe only in what they can see,
those who get blind since they live in darkness and those who
are bewildered on their path, and those who are yet not completely
blind.
Striking the mace of Light on the heads of the
deniers and unbelievers the Risale-i
Nur says :
“Either throw your mind off your head,
become an animal. Or come to your senses, become a true human.”
Since Knowledge is a Light, we point out a few
evidences that show the Risale-i Nur Collection
has a profound comprehension of the Sciences :
Firstly, We should remember that Risale-i Nur has recognized only
the HOLY QURAN as the Master, not any other books, and has been
serving to the Quran, hence it is
not necessary for us to make statements on this issue.
Nevertheless, we should mention the value of
the Risale-i Nur
in consideration of the Scholars and Philosophers and Theologians
:
The Risale-i Nur Collection has explained and proven the most abstruse
and difficult questions which were not proved up until
1920s by any Scholar or Theologian with a certain clarity, in
a way that is extremely facile and comprehensible by everybody
from the common man to the greatest Scholar in accordance with
their level of understanding and convincing them fully without
causing any doubts in their minds.
This feature does not exist almost in any other
Scientific or Scholarly Work.
Secondly, all of
the works of the Risale-i Nur (Treatises of Light)
are the interpretations and commentaries of some of the verses
of the Holy Quran and they show that they are the spiritual gleams originating
from the Quran.
Thirdly, the Risale-i Nur Collection has been answering the questions and the most
urgent needs of the Mankind with most certain proofs and evidences
in a Scientific method. For example, it has been proving the
existence of Allah Almighty (Allah), the Eternal Life in the
Hereafter and other pillars of the Belief by employing the interpretership
of a Particle (Atom) in the Language of disposition and conversation.
Even though the most famous Islamic Philosophers such as Avicenna
(Ibni Sina),
Farabi, Avirosse (Ibni Rushd) had shown all of the existence as the proof of Belief,
the Risale-i Nur
Collection has been proving the truths of Belief with the tongue
of an Atom or a Seed.
Had it been possible to show them the scientific
capacity of the Risale-i Nur, they would have immediately kneel down to take lessons
from them.
Fourthly : The Risale-i Nur has been providing in a very short period of time the
knowledge and the information which cannot be obtained by many
long years of study by teaching the essence of every science
similar to the vitamin/mineral tablets providing the essence
of fruits and vegetables.
Fifthly : The Risale-i Nur has been representing the greatest duty such as “serving
the humanity” sincerely without making the Science a tool of
worldly interests and it has been causing to earn “the consent
of Allah” which is the main purpose of Sciences.
Sixthly : The Risale-i Nur Collection is the result of a powerful, and blessed meditation
of Religious Faith and it is performing the duty of interpretation
of Existence in the Languages of disposition and conversation.
Furthermore it is developing and exploring the truths of Faith
to the degrees of “the certainty of knowledge”, and “the certainty
of vision”, and “the certainty of Truth”.
Seventhly : Risale-i
Nur Collection has comprehended all
the Sciences in essence. It is a veritable embroidered fabric
woven with the yarns of Science.
It is a collection of aphorism and epigrams which
had not been stated by any Scholar until today and these make
evident that it has got the essential principles of every branch of Science.
We shall mention just a few of them here below
and we recommend those would like to have an idea about the
entire collection to dive into the Ocean of the Risale-i
Nur :
1.. The One who created the eyes of the mosquito
is the One who also created the Sun.
2.. The
One who arranged the stomach of the flea is the One who also
arranged the Solar System.
3.. To create a Particle or an Atom requires
an infinite Power which can create the entire Universe. Because,
each letter of the great book of this Universe, especially the
animate one, has a face and eye looking at each and every sentence
(a relationship with all creatures in the Universe) in this
book.
4.. Nature resembles
a printing-press, not the printer. It is an embroidery, not
the Embroiderer. It is passive, not active. It is a pattern,
not a source. It is an order, and not the Orderer.
It is a Law, not a Power. It is a code of Laws proceeding from
a will, not an external reality.
5.. Spirit
is a law possessing external existence, a conscious law. Like
the stable and enduring laws of creation, spirit comes from
the World of the Divine Command and the attribute of Will. Divine
Power clothes it an existence decked out with senses. He makes
a subtle, flowing being (corona) the shell to that jewel. Existent
spirit is the brother of the conceivable law. They are both
enduring and come from the World of the Divine Command. If Pre-Eternal
Power had clothed the laws governing in the species of beings
in external existence, they would have been spirits. And if
the spirit banishes consciousness, it still would be an undying
law.
There are thousands of such aphorisms in the
Risale-i Nur.
