Indeed, signs indicating that the realization of this truth has begun are seen among the fortunate German people. FOOTNOTE
The knots that the ancient philosophers could not solve and the modern philosophers also said, "Philosophy has not yet solved this," have been discovered and resolved in the Risale-i Nur through the grace of the Qur'an, and have been proven intellectually and logically. The doubts that the Eastern wise scholars tried to explain in forty pages, have been expressed concisely in one page of the Risale-i Nur.
A few sentences from Bediüzzaman's defense in the Heavy Penalty Court in 1935, where he was about to be sentenced to death: "The Risale-i Nur is undying and cannot be extinguished. The Risale-i Nur is a light that shines brighter the more it is blown to extinguish it. The Risale-i Nur is a key that discovers and solves the mystery of the universe."
Also, in the matter of the bodily resurrection, a truth that a famous genius like Ibn Sina said, "Resurrection is a matter of tradition, we believe in it; reason cannot proceed in this path," has been proven intellectually in the Risale-i Nur in an unparalleled way accessible to all, through the grace of the Qur'an.
In response to the intentional objections of the misguided European philosophers and their deviant students, who misunderstood the apparent meanings of some ambiguous noble verses and honorable hadiths, the Risale-i Nur has given intellectual and logical answers, proving that these verses and hadiths are miracles. In this way, the Risale-i Nur has cut off the roots of the deviations and doubts coming from science and philosophy in this age. While doing this, the Risale-i Nur has followed a positive method.

On its left, the Qur’an-i Mu’cizü’l-Beyân, which bestows spiritual blessings to hearts and testifies with the words “Bârekâllah,” from which corner, from which direction, can the thieves of doubts and suspicions enter?
Yes, the Qur’an-i Mu’cizü’l-Beyân contains the secret of the consensus of the books of the prophets, saints, and monotheists, who lived in different eras, regions, and professions. In other words, all those people of heart and intellect have mentioned and accepted the fundamental rulings and principles of the Qur’an-i Hakîm in their books, affirming them. Thus, they are like the roots of the celestial tree of the Qur’an.
Moreover, the Qur’an-i Hakîm is based on revelation and is itself revelation. Because the Almighty Being who sent down the Qur’an demonstrates and proves that the Qur’an is revelation through the miracles of the Ahmediyya (a.s.m.). And the Qur’an that was revealed also shows, through its inimitability, that it comes from the Throne. And the Noble Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), in the initial anxiety of revelation and in his state of ecstasy during the descent of revelation, shows more than anyone else his sincerity and reverence for the Qur’an, indicating that it is an ancient revelation and that he is its guest.
Moreover, that Qur’an is purely a guide to guidance. Because whoever opposes it, without witnessing, is in the error of disbelief.
Certainly, the Qur’an is the mine of the lights of the believers. Surely, the opposite of the lights of the believers is darkness. We have definitely proven this in many words.
Moreover, the Qur’an certainly is a collection of truths. Imaginations and falsehoods cannot enter it. The true Islamic world it creates, the clear and fundamental sharia it reveals, and the sublime perfections it demonstrates, all serve as evidence. Even in matters concerning the unseen world, it proves, just like in matters of the visible world, that it is the pure truth and that there is no contradiction within it.

First: The learned scholars, the imams, the allâmers, and the brilliant philosophers such as Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd, along with countless others who are experts in their respective fields, have reached the level of scientific certainty (ilm-yaqin) regarding the prophethood and truthfulness of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Their belief is based on thousands of undeniable proofs and conclusive evidence, and it is such a complete testimony that no one with less than their collective intelligence can challenge it.
One of these innumerable witnesses is the Risale-i Nur of this time. Since the deniers cannot find any means to counter it, they are trying to silence it by deceiving the police and judiciary and suppressing it through the courts.
Twelfth: In the Islamic world, there are numerous individuals who have guided significant portions of the ummah and spiritually elevated them through extraordinary guidance and miracles. These are the most profound scholars of investigation and truth, known as the "aktâb," whose spiritual progress is based on observation, experience, and solid evidence. They have clearly and directly witnessed that Muhammad (peace be upon him) holds the highest degree of truthfulness and sincerity. Their collective and unanimous testimony to his prophethood is such a signature that no one who has not attained their level of spiritual perfection can invalidate it.
Thirteenth testimony: It consists of four comprehensive, extensive, and conclusive proofs:
"And by the testimony of past ages, through the consistent prophecies of the prophets, seers, and mystics in former eras, and through the observation of the prophecies of the messengers and prophets, and by their testimony and prophecies upon them peace, regarding the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the sacred scriptures."
A brief summary of this idea will be stated here. Its explanation and references are perfectly available at the end of the section on the Miracles of the Ahmadiyya in the book Zülfikar.

The Qur’an, indeed, leads to the happiness of this world and the hereafter, and guides people toward it. Whoever has any doubt, let him read and listen to the Qur’an once, and ask what it says.
The fruits given by the Qur’an are both perfect and alive. Therefore, the root of the Qur’an tree is truth and life. Because the life of the fruit points to the life of the tree. Look, behold, how many excellent and perfect fruits of life and light, like ascetics and saints, it has produced in every century.
The Qur’an is accepted and desired by jinn, humans, and angels alike, with an innumerable number of signs and certainties emerging from countless scattered signs. When it is recited, they gather around it like moths drawn to a flame.
The Qur’an, although a revelation, is also confirmed and established by rational proofs. Yes, the consensus of the most learned scholars attests to this. Foremost among them are the great scholars of theology and knowledge, and the geniuses of philosophy such as Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd, who have unanimously proven the foundations of the Qur’an with their methods and evidence.
The Qur’an is also confirmed by the natural disposition (fıtrat). If there were no defect or illness, every natural disposition would confirm it. Because the satisfaction of conscience and the peace of the heart are achieved through it. Thus, the natural disposition, through the testimony of the satisfaction of conscience, confirms it. Yes, the natural disposition, in its own language, says to the Qur’an: "The perfection of our nature cannot exist without you." We have proven this truth in many places.
The Qur’an is an eternal and perpetual miracle, both through direct observation and innate knowledge. It always demonstrates its excellence. Unlike other miracles, it does not fade, nor does its time end; it is eternal.
