The Words - Creation
Written by Said Nursi   
Tuesday, 31 January 2006
Thirty-second window: Consider the following verses:

He sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion in order to make it triumphant over all other religions. God is sufficient as a witness. (48:28)

Say: "O humanity! I am the Messenger of God to you all, for Whom is the absolute dominion of the heavens and Earth; there is no god but He. He gives life and causes to die." (7:158)

This window is formed of Prophet Muhammad, the sun of the heaven of Messengership. Having explained this in great detail in the Nineteenth and Thirty-first Words, as well as The Nineteenth Letter,[7]  we discuss only the following point:

On the wings of Messengership and sainthood, that is, equipped with a power formed of the absolute consensus of all Prophets preceding him and the unanimous agreement of all saints and pure scholars to come after him, Prophet Muhammad, himself an articulate proof of Divine Unity, proclaimed and demonstrated Divine Unity throughout his life with all his strength. He opened up onto knowledge of God a broad and radiant window, namely the Muslim world. Thousands of pure, truth-seeking and truthful scholars like Imam Ghazzali, Imam Rabbani, Muhiy al-Din ibn al-‘Arabi, and ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani look through this window and point others to knowledge of God. Is there a veil to draw across such a window? Can one who criticizes this window and does not look through it be considered sensible? You give the answer.
