Every spring, like a wagon, a hundred thousand kinds of provisions and supplies are loaded with perfect order and sent to the living. And especially sending those food packages, the canned milk for the children and the little bottles of sweetened milk hanging from the compassionate hearts of mothers, is so full of compassion, mercy, and wisdom that it clearly proves that it is the act of a Most Merciful and Most Compassionate Creator.
In short, by showing a hundred thousand examples and instances on this page of the spring of life,
"Look at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He brings life back to the earth after its death. Indeed, He is the One who brings the dead to life, and He is Almighty over everything,"
this verse is literally and brilliantly explained by this page; and this verse also marvelously expresses the meaning of this page. And the earth, with all its pages, in its greatness and power, understood that there is none worthy of worship except Him.
Thus, with the brief testimony of just one of the twenty aspects of just one of the earth's many large pages, and in the sense of observing the other aspects of that page, and to express these observations, it is said in the Third Degree of the First Station:
"There is none worthy of worship except Allah, the Necessary Being, whose necessity of existence is evident in His oneness: the earth, with everything in it and upon it, testifies to the greatness of the reality of subjugation, management, upbringing, opening, distribution of seeds, preservation, administration, and sustenance for all living beings, and the universal, all-encompassing, and perfect mercy and compassion, as witnessed."

Fifth: I wrote this essay hurriedly, relying only on the first draft, while my condition was in disarray in several respects and my body was shaken by some illnesses. Since I felt that the time and will to write were not entirely mine, and since I did not consider it appropriate to revise or improve it according to my own opinion, it took a somewhat chaotic form. Moreover, it contains many Arabic stories. Indeed, the First Station was entirely in Arabic, so it was removed from the text and written separately.
Despite these five causes of error and disorder, this essay has such importance that Imam Ali (r.a.) gave it the names "Ayat al-Kubra" and "Asa al-Musa" in his spiritual miracles. Among the essays of Risale-i Nur, this one has been given special attention and has drawn particular attention.
FOOTNOTE: This essay, which is a true interpretation of the Ayat al-Kubra, is the seventh light according to the terminology of Hazret-i Imam (r.a.), named "Asa al-Musa."
This seventh light consists of an introduction and two stations. The introduction discusses four important issues, the First Station contains the Arabic part of the interpretation of the Ayat al-Kubra, and the Second Station explains its proofs, translation, and meaning.
Although this introduction was written more than necessary, it became somewhat lengthy involuntarily. Therefore, it was written out of necessity. Perhaps some people will consider this length to be excessive.

Twenty-Fifth Word
While there is a lasting miracle like the Qur’an at hand,
It seems excessive to me to seek another proof.
While there is a true proof like the Qur’an at hand,
Should my heart feel burdened for the deniers?
NOTICE: We intended to write the Five Pillars at the beginning of this Word. However, in the latter part of the First Pillar, we had to write very quickly in order to finish the old manuscript. Indeed, some days we wrote twenty or thirty pages within two or three hours. Therefore, we have completely written the Three Pillars and for now, we have left aside the other Two Pillars. We hope our brothers will overlook my faults, shortcomings, mistakes, and errors with mercy and tolerance.
Most of the verses in this treatise on the Miracles of the Qur’an have either been criticized by the deniers, or raised objections by the scholars, or have been exposed to the whispers and doubts of jinn and human devils. Indeed, this Twenty-Fifth Word has explained the truths and subtleties of those verses in such a way that the points the deniers and scholars thought were flaws have been proven, through scientific principles, to be the signs of eloquence and the sources of the perfection of the Qur’anic eloquence. In order to avoid causing confusion, absolute answers have been given without mentioning their doubts. Only in three or four verses in the First Station of the Twentieth Word, such as "And the sun runs its course" and "And the mountains are fixed," have their doubts been mentioned.
Although this treatise on the Miracles of the Qur’an has been written very briefly and hastily, it has been expressed in a scholarly, deep, and powerful style in terms of eloquence and the sciences of Arabic, to the extent that it astonishes the scholars. Although not every attentive reader may fully understand and benefit from each topic, everyone can find an important share in that garden. Despite the shortcomings in expression and wording due to its being written in great haste and under difficult circumstances, it has explained the truths of many important scientific issues.

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: We congratulate you on the three blessed luminous signs, which will bring you a spiritual life of more than eighty years, and especially on this night of Regaib. Your salvation and spiritual victory have astonished the oppressors. They have changed their front here. They have given up hostile attacks and are now approaching in a friendly manner, and are finding excuses such as duties or other tasks to prevent their devoted students from serving the Risale-i Nur, or they are transferring them to another duty or another task. There are many such cases here. This attack seems more harmful in a certain respect.
Second: Here, a powerful light has entered the high school. It is the First Mevkıf of the Thirty-Second Word, from the name of the Adl and Hakem Nükteleri of the Thirtieth Lem’a up to the Tabiat Lem’a, and from the beginning of the First Makam of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, which starts with "Yes, every guest who enters this worldly country and this guest house..."—except for the levels of inspiration and revelation—we have given permission with new letters and a spiritual note up to the Eighteenth Degree, which is the truth of the universe's boundaries, up to possibility. They wrote it themselves with a typewriter. You can also bind these four parts together and throw them at the deniers like a twelve-pound cannonball with the new letters.
Since I am in a very weak, old, and helpless condition this year, I ask my young brothers for their spiritual assistance during this blessed trinity of luminous signs. We greet each one of you individually and pray for your safety and well-being.
