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.

Second Station
It is about six of the many mysteries of 'In.
NOTICE: When the light of the Bismillah shone brightly at the point of mercy, it appeared to my dim mind from afar. I wanted to record it for my own soul in the form of a note. And I wished to encircle and capture that light by drawing a circle around it with about twenty or thirty mysteries. But alas, I have not yet fully succeeded in my desire. It has decreased from twenty or thirty to five or six.
"When I say 'O human!', I address my own soul. Since this lesson is unique to my own soul, I entrust it to the discerning brothers as the Second Station of the Fourteenth Lema, hoping that those who are spiritually connected to me and whose souls are more alert than my own may benefit from it. This lesson looks more to the heart than to the mind; it is more inclined to pleasure than to reason.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
She said: "O you of high rank! Indeed, a noble book has been cast to me. Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it is in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." 2
A few mysteries will be mentioned in this station...
