The Second Station of the Twentieth Word
A luminous sign of the miraculousness of the Prophets shining on the face
(Pay attention to the two questions and two answers in the hereafter.)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
And nothing dry or wet is there but that it is in a clear Book. 1
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO (now more than thirty years), regarding a secret of this verse, I wrote a chapter in Arabic titled "Isârâtü'l-İ'câz" in my tafsir. Now, two of my brothers, whose desires I consider important, asked me for a brief explanation in Turkish about that chapter. I say this relying on the support of the Almighty and depending on the grace of the Qur'an:
According to one opinion, the Clear Book is the Qur'an. This noble verse states that everything wet and dry is included in it. Is that true? Yes, everything is included in it. But not everyone can perceive everything within it. Because they exist in different degrees. Sometimes their seeds, sometimes their nuclei, sometimes their forms, sometimes their principles, sometimes their signs, either openly, by indication, by allusion, by implication, or in the form of a hint. However, according to need and in a manner appropriate to the purpose of the Qur'an and in relation to the context of the subject, one of these forms is used. For example:
The inventions and wonders of science and technology, which are the results of the progress of mankind in the fields of art and science, such as airplanes, electricity, submarines, and telegraphs, have emerged and taken the most important place in the material life of mankind. Naturally, the wise Qur'an, which addresses all of humanity, does not leave these things unmentioned. Indeed, it has not left them unmentioned, but has indicated them in two ways.

As a preface, I say: A brave man does not tolerate murder. If he is accused, he does not fear punishment. Moreover, if I were unjustly executed, I would gain the reward of two martyrs. If I were to be imprisoned, then the most comfortable position in a cruel government that reduces freedom to mere words would be the prison. To die as an oppressed person is better than to live as an oppressor. I also say this: Some people use politics as a tool for irreligion, and for their own sins, they accuse others of apostasy and of using religion as a tool for politics. The current informants are worse than the previous ones. How can one trust their loyalty? How can justice be based on their words?
Moreover, while people are judged for their virtues, they fall into injustice. For man is not perfect. However, by collecting the various minor faults, which have been altered over a long time, among the general population, and through the development of virtues, they imagine that a single person at a single moment deserves severe punishment. Whereas this kind of judgment is a severe injustice. Now let us come to the number of my eleven and a half murders:
FIRST MURDER: Last year, at the beginning of the Hürriyet (Freedom) period, I sent fifty to sixty telegrams through the Sadâret (Chancellery) to the eastern tribes. The meaning was as follows:
"If you are concerned about constitutional monarchy and the fundamental law, know that true justice and legitimate consultation are the essence of it; you should be pleased and strive to preserve it. For our worldly happiness lies in constitutional monarchy. And from tyranny, we suffer more than anyone else."
Responses to these telegrams came from everywhere, positive and good. So I warned the eastern provinces, did not leave them unaware, so that a new tyranny would not take advantage of their ignorance. I committed a murder by not saying "What is necessary," hence I came to this court.
