Notice
Since other treatises of Risaletü'n-Nur do not exist in the environment of this country, where this treatise was composed without any choice, and in treatises such as Âyetü'l-Kübrâ, some important issues of other Sayings and Lem'as have been mentioned in the form of repetition, and each of these has been written in such a way that for the students in those places, each one has the status of a small Risaletü'n-Nur.
The first proofreading of this manuscript was done by a blessed person. When that person wrote the copy without knowing about the coincidence, we found a beautiful and meaningful coincidence worth noting: in that copy, the number of the letter "Alif (ا)" at the beginning of the lines was written as six hundred and sixty-six (666). This situation exactly corresponds to the numerical and alphabetical value of the name "Âyetü'l-Kübrâ," which was given to this special treatise by the Noble Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and this shows the suitability of this treatise for this name. Also, the fact that the number of the verses of the Qur'an, which is six thousand six hundred and sixty-six (6666), coincides with three of its four levels, we believe this is an indication that this treatise is a Lem'a of the verses.

Since these metaphorical meanings and symbolic concepts are true, correct, and in accordance with reality; and they are worthy of such honor and their foundations are strong. Indeed, if Hazrat Imam Ali (r.a.) did not have a comprehensive inclination to intend all these symbolic meanings -as the Celcelûtiye is inspired by revelation- then the true owner, the master of Hazrat Imam Ali (r.a.), the Prophet Zîshan (a.s.m.), with his comprehensive inclination and the master's master, Zülcelâl's comprehensive knowledge, looks at them and includes them in the circle of intention. My reason for having a special, definite, and certain opinion on this matter is as follows: While writing the Seventh Remiz, which is the greater interpretation of the Great Ayet al-Kubra within the great difficulties, I endured much hardship and was in genuine need of a sacred comfort and encouragement. Until now, through repeated experiences, in such situations, divine care and help had always come to my aid. At the very moment I completed the treatise, without any prior thought, this sudden manifestation of the Alevi miracle left no doubt in me that this, like other divine cares that have aided me, is a care from the Merciful Lord. Care is not deceptive and does not involve falsehood.
SEVENTH REMIZ
Hazrat Imam Ali (r.a.) has pointed to the Seventh Remiz with the first verse:
"And by the Great Sign, I am safe from the fall," ...
"And by the right of the sword with the blade, O our God, and by Your beautiful names, save me from scattering," the letters of Bahram have risen and stood proud, and the name of the staff of Moses has dispelled the darkness.

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.

Just as recognizing the sun with its seven colors, he observed with certain knowledge that the reality, signed in agreement and unity by those sacred geniuses and luminous knowers, who with seventy colors, perhaps as many as the Beautiful Names, revealed the distinct luminous colors and various forms of beauty and different kinds of true paths and diverse correct professions and varied legitimate foundations, how evident and manifest it was. And the consensus of the prophets (peace be upon them), the agreement of the sages, the unanimity of the saints, and the combined agreement of these three, appeared even brighter than the radiance of the daylight showing the sun.
Indeed, this guest, as a brief sign of the grace he received from the Tekyeh, in the Tenth Degree of the First Station, it was said:
لاَۤ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللّٰهُ الَّذِى دَلَّ عَلٰى وُجُوبِ وُجُودِهِ فِى وَحْدَتِهِ: إِجْمَاعُ اْلاَوْلِيَاءِ بِكَشْفِيَاتِهِمْ، وَكَرَامَاتِهِمِ الظَّاهِرَةِ الْمُحَقَّقَةِ الْمُصَدَّقَةِ 1
Then, the most important and greatest of human perfections, perhaps the source and foundation of all human perfections, that world traveler who knows that divine love, which emanates from belief in God and knowledge of God, raised his head and looked up to the heavens, with all his strength and subtleties, driven by the desire to progress further in the power of faith and the expansion of knowledge. He said to his own mind:
"If indeed the most precious thing in the universe is life. And the beings of the universe are dependent on life. And if indeed the most precious of living beings is the one with a soul. And the most precious of those with a soul is the one with reason..."

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
It is the third miracle of Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the Risale-i Nur.
Yes, in the Kaside-i Celcelûtiyesi, he confirms and strengthens the two evident miracles explained and proved in the Eighteenth and Twenty-Eighth Lem'as, just as he gives news of Siracü'n-Nur to the degree of sarahat (clear indication), and again in that same ode, he points to and almost applauds the most famous treatises of Siracü'n-Nur, indicating with eight allusions a number of well-known treatises.
FIRST
After the phrase "1 تُقَادُ سِرَاجُ النُّورِ سِرًّا بَيَانَةً" in the Risale-i Nur, which describes the Siraj of Nur moving secretly and clearly, he makes a supplication in Syriac language, seeking help from the Beautiful Names and invoking a Quranic invocation. He mentions thirty-three chapters in such a strange and meaningful style that it seems he is also conveying some hidden secrets and unseen news. When I finished the Seventh Şuâyı, which I had named Âyetü'l-Kübrâ by Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) during a difficult time, I immediately read the Celcelûtiye at night as a reward and compensation for my belief. Suddenly, as if by a hidden indication, it was said to my heart: Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is very occupied with the Risale-i Nur. Just as he gives news from the collection, he also alludes to and hints at his precious treatises. If it were not forbidden by Divine Wisdom (because of its many harmful effects and because it contradicts wisdom), he would have revealed news from the unseen in an explicit manner.

It is a defense of Tahirî.
I am being brought to the Afyon Ağırceza Court, accused together with my master Bediüzzaman Said Nursî and other friends, based on the article "inciting the people to actions that will disrupt the state's security by using religious feelings as a tool," which was notified to me by the Afyon Chief Prosecution Office.
I have answered all the questions asked in both the Isparta Peace Court and the Afyon Inquiry Office truthfully. The Denizli Court, which acquitted us, returned all our books to us. It did not punish us for reading and writing the Risales of my master Bediüzzaman or for corresponding with my fellow students who are his disciples. Indeed, six years ago, without my master's permission, I had 500 copies of Bediüzzaman's Yedinci Şuâ book printed in Istanbul using my own old handwriting and funds. The Denizli Court, with its decision dated 20.7.1945, fully trusted me and delivered them to me, and they were distributed to the Nur students at the cost of printing.
Therefore, relying on the ruling of this high court, which was confirmed by the High Court of Cassation, two years ago I brought a printing press and paper from Istanbul to Isparta.
Two of the three collections you have in your possession were written by my brother Hüsnü Altınbaşak, and one was written by me. First, we printed the collection Zülfikar: Mu'cizât-ı Kur'âniye ve Ahmediye. We sold it partially. With the money we earned, I bought and brought the paper for the collection Asâ-yı Mûsâ. Then we printed the Asâ-yı Mûsâ collection and sold it as well.

And the concordance in the narration and the abundance of evidence and the harmony and the unity of the Prophets is such a proof and such a strength that no force in the world can oppose it and it leaves no room for doubt or hesitation. And the fact that the pillars of faith include the general confirmation of all the Prophets (peace be upon them), he understood that this confirmation is a source of great strength and he derived much spiritual benefit from their teachings. Thus, in expressing the meaning of this traveler's mentioned lesson, it is said in the Eighth Rank of the First Station:
"There is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One who is proven to be the Necessary Being in His Oneness: the consensus of all the Prophets, through the overwhelming power of their miracles, the confirming and the confirmed."
Then, the traveler who had tasted a sublime reality of the strength of faith, upon returning from the assembly of the Prophets (peace be upon them), was invited by the scholars—those learned, certain, and strong in evidence, the seekers of truth and the sincere believers—who had investigated and proven the claims of the Prophets (peace be upon them). He entered and saw that thousands of geniuses and hundreds of thousands of learned and profound seekers of truth, with their thorough investigations that left not the slightest doubt, were proving the positive matters of faith, beginning with the necessity of existence and the Oneness of God.
Indeed, although their abilities and professions were diverse, their agreement in the principles and pillars of faith, and their reliance on each other's strong and certain proofs, is such a proof that if it were possible for someone to possess as much wisdom and discernment as their collective and to find as much proof as the sum of their proofs, only then could one stand against them.

And since, in the Seventh Light, the Great Ayat al-Kubra, they have demonstrated thirty-three great gatherings, each one as strong as a mountain, that this universe has come from one hand and is the property of a single Being. And they have clearly shown the unity and oneness of the Divine Perfections. And through unity and oneness, the entire universe becomes subject to the command of that Unique Being, as commanders and appointed officials. And with the coming of the Hereafter, they will be freed from the imperfection of the Divine Perfections, from the absolute justice being mocked, from the absolute power being belittled, from the general wisdom being treated as foolishness, from the universal mercy being despised, and from the majesty of power being reduced to weakness. They will thus become exalted.
Certainly and indeed, and surely, with the faith in Allah, from a hundred points, the truths in these eight "since" statements will necessitate the Day of Judgment, the resurrection and the gathering, the opening of the place of punishment and reward, until the mentioned importance and centrality of the earth and the importance and value of man can be realized. And the justice, wisdom, mercy, and sovereignty of the Sovereign Allah, the Creator and Lord of the earth and man, can be realized. And the true and beloved servants of that Everlasting Lord will be freed from eternal damnation. And the greatest and most precious of those friends will see the reward of their sacred services that bring joy and gratitude to the entire universe. And the perfections of the Eternal Sultan will be free from defect and flaw, from power being reduced to weakness, from wisdom being treated as foolishness, and from justice being reduced to oppression. They will thus become exalted, elevated, and distinguished.
In conclusion, since Allah exists, certainly the Hereafter exists.
Just as the mentioned three pillars of faith, with all the evidence proving them, bear witness and testify to the resurrection. Similarly,
And with His angels and with the decree, both good and evil, from Allah the Most High, the two pillars of faith also necessitate the resurrection and strongly bear witness and testify to the world of eternity. Namely:

Eighth Light
A Third Alevi Miracle
AN EXPRESSION OF INTENTION
Let it be known that I am not seeking to praise or glorify myself or my own self, which I despise in every respect, but rather I am seeking to declare the value and importance of the Risale-i Nur, to announce the truths of the Qur'an and the pillars of faith, to invite those who have weakened in their faith to them, and to demonstrate their strength and truth.
Moreover, I do not claim the Risale-i Nur as my own work, so I do not boast of it. Rather, I am declaring its merits because it is, in appearance, a commentary on the Qur'an, a true interpreter inspired by the Qur'an, and a proof and advocate of faith. Indeed, I have written some of the treatises without any intention of doing so, and I mention the importance of the Risale-i Nur without any intention of doing so. I have suffered much hardship in writing the seventh Light, which Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) named "The Greatest Verse," and this miracle of Celcelûtiye, given to me by the Divine Inattention, is a reward, a sign of acceptance, and a source of encouragement. I have written this as the Eighth Light, considering it a gift of grace. Otherwise, I would have written the proofs of the miraculous nature of an important verse about the Day of Resurrection.

SECOND REMIZ
The treatise called "Yedinci Şuâ" (The Seventh Ray), which reveals the great reality and the greatest interpretation of the great verse of the Qur'an, "تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوَتُ السَّبْعُ وَاْلاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَاِنْ مِنْ شَىْءٍ اِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ" (The seven heavens and the earth and whoever is in them glorify Him; there is nothing that does not exalt Him with praise), and is a divine gift of the sacred month of Ramadan, is mentioned by the Noble Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in his letters after referring to "Mektubat" and while looking at the "Lem'alar", saying "وَبِاْلاٰيَةِ الْكُبْرٰى اَمِنِّى مِنَ الْفَجَتْ" (And by the greatest sign, I am safe from the morning). He refers to it with the knowledge of eloquence, using the meanings of "mustetbeatut terakib" (balanced structures) and "maarizul kelâm" (elegant speech), and through the strength of the multiple layers of meaning, the literal meaning and the hidden meaning. And he names this extraordinary, lofty, and the greatest proof of tawhid (oneness), and the great sign of the great verse, as "Âyetü'l-Kübrâ". And by this name, he proclaims and announces both the greatness of the source verse of the great sign and the extraordinary strength of the proof of oneness and tawhid, which is the seventh ray of unity. Whoever has any doubt about the great attention of the Noble Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to this treatise and its worth, let them come and read this treatise once. If they do not say, "Yes, it is worthy," then let them say to me, "I swear!"
