Risale-i Nur/The Words/The Thirty-Second Word/A Short Addendum (s:629)

.A Short Addendum body {font-family:'Thorndale AMT',serif;font-size:12.0pt} A Short Addendumto the First Stopping-PlaceListen to the verse:Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?1Then look at the face of the heavens, you see how it is silent in its tranquillity; how it is in motion with wisdom, how it is radiant with majesty, how it smiles with its adornment. An unending and infinite sovereignty is proclaimed to those who think by the order in its creation, by the symmetry in its art, by its shining lamps, its brilliant lanterns, its glittering stars.Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?The following explains the above passage, Then look at the face of the heavens, etc., which in turn is an explanation of the verse quoted.Firstly, the phrase: How it is silent in its tranquillity.The verse directs an attentive gaze to the beautifully adorned face of the heavens so that the one beholding it may become aware of the silence there which is within a vast tranquillity, and so that he may understand that it is thus through the command and subjugation of One Possessing Absolute Power.For if they had been independent and unrestrained, those huge globes, all in close proximity to each other, those infinite, awesome heavenly bodies, would have caused such an uproar with their enormously swift revolutions that they would have deafened the cosmos. And there would have been such confusion in that tumultuous commotion that it would have scattered the universe. It is well-known what a commotion and uproar it causes if twenty water-buffalo work on top of each other. Whereas, we know that there are among the stars some which are thousands of times larger than the earth and which revolve at a speed seventy times faster than that of a cannon-ball. So the degree of power and subjugation of the Glorious Maker and All-Powerful One of Perfection may be understood from this, together with the degree of obedience and submission to Him of the stars.

Qur’an, 50:6.
