The Twenty-Third Flash
On Nature
[First written as the Sixteenth Note of
the Seventeenth Flash, this part of the Risale-i Nur was later
designated as the Twenty-Third Flash because of its importance. This
treatise puts naturalistic atheism to death with no chance of
reanimation, and totally shatters the foundation stones of unbelief.]
A Reminder
This treatise explains through Nine
Impossibilities, themselves comprising at least ninety impossibilities,
just how unreasonable, crude and superstitious is the reality of the way
taken by those Naturalists who are atheists. Since these
impossibilities have been explained in part in other sections of the
Risale-i Nur, and to cut short the discussion here, some steps in the
arguments have been skipped. It suddenly comes to mind, then, how is it
that those famous and supposedly brilliant philosophers accepted such a
blantantly obvious superstition, and continue to pursue that way. Well,
the fact is they could not see its reality. And I am ready to explain in
detail and prove through clear and decisive arguments to whoever doubts
it that these crude, repugnant and unreasonable impossibilities are the
necessary and unavoidable result of their way; in fact, the very gist
of their creed.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Their prophets said: “Is there any doubt about God, Creator of the heavens and the earth?”
By declaring through the use of a rhetorical question
that there cannot and should not be any doubt about God Almighty, this
verse clearly demonstrates the Divine existence and Unity.
