Sixth point: All six sides or aspects of the Qur’an are luminous and demonstrate its truth. From below, it is supported upon the pillars of proof and evidence [e.g., rational, scientific, historical, those pertaining to conscience and sound judgment]; above it are gleams of the seal of miraculousness, before it lies happiness in both worlds as its aim; and behind it is another point of support: the truths of Divine Revelation. To its right is the unanimous confirmation of guided reason based on proofs, and to its left are the intellectual and spiritual contentment of those with sound hearts and conscience, and their sincere attachment and submission to it.

Taken as a whole, all of these bear witness that the Qur’an is a formidable, extraordinary, and unconquerable stronghold established by the hand of heaven on Earth. They set their seal of admission that it is a faultless, true Word of God. The Administrator of the universe, Who always manifests unity, protects virtuousness and goodness, and extirpates falsehood and slander, has given the Qur’an the most acceptable, high, and dominant rank of respect and success. Given this, God Himself has confirmed its truth.

Also Prophet Muhammad, the Qur’an’s interpreter, believed in it and respected it more than anything and anybody else. He went into a different state when its verses were being revealed, and confirmed and preached all its decrees and commandments with utmost conviction, without showing any deception and error to those waiting to catch him, and without anything to shake him. Despite being unlettered, the Qur’an enabled him to relate instantly what was revealed about the past and future, the facts of creation and the universe’s operation. Other sayings of his do not resemble the Qur’an and are inferior to it in certain respects. All of this proves that the Qur’an is the true heavenly and blessed Word of that person’s Merciful Creator.

One‑fifth of humanity, or even the majority of people in certain cases, always have had an ecstatic and religious devotion to the Qur’an. They listened to it lovingly and in adoration of truth, and as testified to by numerous observations, signs, and events. Just as moths fly round a light, angels, believing jinn, and other spirit beings gather around the Qur’an during its recitation. This also confirms that the Qur’an is accepted by almost all beings in the universe and that it is of the highest rank.

All types of people derive their share from its teachings. The greatest scholars in Islamic sciences (e.g., jurisprudence, theology, and religious methodology) have found in it answers to their questions and so have based their conclusions upon it. This is another evidence that the Qur’an is the source of truths, the mine of all true knowledge. Furthermore, no unbelieving Arab literary genius ever has produced anything like it. Other geniuses of learning and eloquence who sought to produce something as eloquent as the Qur’an have been compelled to refrain from doing so. This clearly shows that the Qur’an is a miracle.

To judge a word’s value, sublimity, and eloquence, we must ask who spoke it, to whom was it spoken, and why was it spoken. When considered in this way, the Qur’an has no equal, for it is the Word of the Lord of all beings, the Speech of the Creator of the universe. Nothing in it suggests that it has been fabricated by someone and then falsely attributed to God. God revealed the Qur’an to His chosen representative of all creatures, one who is His most famous and renowned addressee, whose belief embraced the comprehensive religion of Islam and caused its owner to rise to the rank of the distance of two bows’ length. After being honored with direct conversation with the Eternally‑Besought‑of‑All, he returned to convey the principles of happiness in both worlds.

The Qur’an explains these principles, as well as the results of and the Divine purpose in creating the universe. It expounds upon the Prophet’s most comprehensive belief, which sustains all the truths of Islam. It shows and describes the universe as a map, a clock, or a house, and teaches about the Artist Who made it. It cannot be matched or equaled in any respect.

In addition, numerous Qur’anic interpretations written by meticulous scholars of the highest intelligence and learning present proofs for countless virtues, subtleties, and mysteries of the Qur’an, and disclose and affirm its numerous predictions. Among them, the Risale‑i Nur’s 130 treatises explain each Qur’anic virtue and subtlety, as can be seen throughout The Words. All of this sets a seal on the fact that the Qur’an is a miracle, has no equal, and is the Word of the Knower of the Unseen, which is the tongue of the World of the Unseen in this material world.

Due to its virtues, the Qur’an’s magnificent spiritual dominion and majestic sacred rule continue to illuminate Earth and the ages, as well as time and space, and more people have been embracing it with perfect respect. Due to these same virtues, each letter yields at least 10 merits, 10 rewards, and 10 fruits pertaining to the eternal world, and the letters of certain verses and suras each give hundreds or even thousands of merits. When recited on certain blessed occasions, the light and merits of each letter multiply by tens or hundreds.

The world‑traveler came to understand this and said to himself or herself: “Based on the consensus of its lights and mysteries, and the concord of its fruits and results, this Qur’an, miraculous in every respect, proves and testifies to the Existence, Unity, Attributes, and Names of a single Necessarily Existent One in such a manner that the testimonies of innumerable believers have their sources in that testimony.”

In a brief reference to the instruction the traveler received from the Qur’an about belief and God’s Unity, we say: “There is no god but God—the Necessarily Existent One, the One, the Single—the necessity of Whose existence in His Oneness is proved decisively by the Qur’an of miraculous exposition.” This is accepted and sought for by angels, people, and jinn. All of its verses are recited every minute and with perfect respect by countless people. Its sacred rule has prevailed in various regions of the Earth, realms of space, and on the faces of all ages and time. Its enlightened spiritual dominion has prevailed with perfect splendor over one‑fifth of humanity for 1,400 years. Likewise, with the consensus of its heavenly and sacred suras, the agreement of its luminous Divine verses, the correspondence of its mysteries and lights, the concord of its truths, and its results, it manifestly attests to and is a clear proof of this same truth.
