The Words - The Resurrection: Twelve Pictures
Written by Said Nursi   
Monday, 30 January 2006

Let’s walk and see what is going on. Everywhere you see photographers taking pictures and scribes recording everything, no matter how insignificant or ordinary. The king’s supreme photographer, who is devoted to his service and photographs everything, is installed on a tall mountain.[1]·The king must have ordered that all transactions and deeds performed in his kingdom be recorded. One day, he will use these records to call his subjects to account.

Would such an All-Wise and All-Preserving Being not record His greatest subject’s—humanity’s—most significant deeds? Would He not call everyone to account in order to reward or punish them? After all, people do things that offend His glory, are contrary to His pride, and are unacceptable to His compassion. They remain unpunished in this world, and so must be called before a Supreme Tribunal (somewhere else).


[1] Some of these truths are presented in the Seventh Truth: The photographer devoted to the king’s service indicates the Supreme Guarded Tablet. This Tablet’s reality and existence is proved in The Twenty-sixth Word as follows: A little portfolio suggests the existence of a great ledger; a little document points to the existence of a great register; and little drops point to the existence of a great water tank. Thus our retentive faculties, a tree’s fruits, a fruit’s seeds and kernels are like a little portfolio, a miniature guarded tablet, or a drop proceeding from the pen that inscribes the great Guarded Tablet. They all point to, indicate , and prove the existence of a Supreme Memory, a Great Register, an exalted Guarded Tablet.
