This ninth essay will present a crucial point and a great proof of these celestial verses indicating one pole of faith and the divine evidences proving resurrection. It is a subtle divine grace that, thirty years ago, Said, in the end of his work titled "Muhakemat," the introduction to his tafsir, had written:
"Second Purpose: Two verses in the Qur'an indicating resurrection will be interpreted and explained. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," and had stopped there, not having written further.
To the Creator of Mercy, be countless thanks and praise for the signs and evidences of resurrection, for thirty years later He granted success and grace. Indeed, nine or ten years ago, He bestowed the Tenth Statement and the Twenty-Ninth Statement, which contain two brilliant and powerful proofs and interpretations of the divine command:
"Look at the signs of Allah's mercy, how He brings life to the earth after its death. Indeed, He is the One who brings the dead to life, and He is Almighty over everything."
These silenced the deniers. Also, from the impregnable fortress of the two texts of the faith of resurrection, nine to ten years later, He honored this essay with the interpretation of the second verse, which was mentioned at the beginning. This ninth essay consists of nine lofty stations and one important introduction, as indicated by the aforementioned verse.

The Qur'ân-i Mucizü'l-Beyan so clearly describes physical pleasures that it is impossible not to accept their literal meaning without other interpretations.
Indeed, the fruits and results of the belief in the Hereafter show that just as the reality and needs of the human stomach are clearly indicated by the presence of food, so too, the reality and perfections of man, his natural needs and eternal desires, and the truths and capacities of those who seek the aforementioned results and benefits of the belief in the Hereafter, more certainly indicate and manifest the Hereafter, Paradise, and the eternal physical pleasures. Likewise, the reality of the perfections of this universe, the meaningful evolutionary verses, and all the truths of humanity related to these realities, have testified to the existence and manifestation of the Hereafter, the coming of the resurrection, and the opening of Paradise and Hell. The books of Risale-i Nur, especially the Tenth and Twenty-Eighth (two stages), the Twenty-Ninth Words, and the Ninth Rays and Supplications, have proven this with clear and irrefutable evidence. We will now briefly summarize this long story, referring to them.
The statements about Hell in the Qur'an are so clear and evident that they leave no need for other explanations. We will briefly summarize two or three points that dispel only a couple of weak doubts, referring to the details in Risale-i Nur.

First Point: The idea of Hell does not prevent one from enjoying the pleasures of the fruits of past faith. Because the boundless mercy of the Lord says to the fearful person: "Come to Me, enter through the door of repentance. So that the existence of Hell may not scare you, but rather fully inform you of the pleasures of Paradise and bring satisfaction to you and to the countless creatures whose rights have been violated."
If you are drowning in sin and cannot escape, the existence of Hell is still better than eternal execution a thousand times over and is a kind of mercy for the disbelievers.

2 And indeed, nothing is there but praises Him, 1 by His Name, the Most High.
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings in the number of the letters you have written and printed 3.
Beloved, sincere, and capable, my brothers; We congratulate you on your blessed nights of Ashura and your Kurban Bayram. The matter that came to mind regarding the physical resurrection of Nur Factory owner Hafiz Ali is important, and the representation at the end of the letter is very good and meaningful. From that memory, I understood that the Ninth Light wants the nine proofs of the physical resurrection after the introduction of the resurrection. However, unfortunately, for one or two years, the task of authorship has been delayed. The issues of the Risale-i Nur are not resolved with knowledge, thought, intention, or deliberate choice; rather, they are mostly resolved through common sense, enlightenment, and awareness. These nine proofs are no longer a real need, so we are not being directed to authorship.
Indeed, among the pillars of faith, belief in Allah and belief in the Last Day are the two poles and two suns of the Islamic world.
The first one: The Risale-i Nur has fully explained its proofs.
The second pole: Partly independently, the Tenth Word, the Twenty-Ninth Word, the Twenty-Eighth Word, especially in the proofs of physical pleasures and in writings such as the introduction to the resurrection, have very strongly proven the physical resurrection and silenced the deniers. And just as belief in Allah, since the existing things in this world do not show it in an obvious way, the majority of them prove the resurrection in a strong manner within the other pillars of faith.
In short: All the evidence that proves the truth of the Qur'an, the miraculous Book of Speech, proves the secondary physical resurrection through thousands of Qur'anic verses, descriptions, and explanations. Then, does another proof remain necessary, compared to the degree of the miraculous descriptions and explanations of the physical pleasures of the miraculous Paradise in the Qur'an, the Book of Speech?
Also, all the miracles and evidence that prove the truth of the Most Honored Messenger, upon whom be peace and blessings, describe and explain the secondary physical resurrection, and the physical pleasures and states of Paradise and Hell in a wonderful eloquence.

10. The language of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who is distinguished by sincerity and truthfulness and who has five professions, is the key to the eternal happiness in the resurrection of the body.
11. The Qur’an, the Book of the Wondrous Explanation, which has been verified in seven directions over thirteen centuries, is the revealer, the opener, and the opener of the Basmalah of the resurrection of the body.
SECOND INTENTION: To state two proofs regarding the resurrection mentioned in the Qur’an. Thus, 1 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author of this treatise, the Master Bediuzzaman, at the beginning of the Ninth Letter of his Risale-i Nur Collection, which he composed thirty years after composing this treatise, says:
"It is a subtle divine attention that thirty years ago, at the end of the preface of his commentary, the work titled Muhakamat, which he had written in the old Said style, he had written: 'Second Intention: Two verses of the Qur’an indicating the resurrection will be interpreted and explained. Namely: Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,' and stopped there. He had not written further. Praise and thanks be to the Creator, the Most Merciful, for the number of proofs and evidences of resurrection, that He granted success thirty years later with His grace and favor."
