The Twentieth Letter
In His Name, be He glorified!
And there is nothing but its glorifies Him with praise.
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
There is no god but God, He is One, He has no
partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise; He alone grants
life, and deals death, and He is living and dies not; all good is in His
hand, He is powerful over all things, and with Him all things have
their end.
[This sentence expressing Divine Unity, which is
recited following the morning and evening prayers, possesses numerous
merits and according to an authentic narration, bears the degree of the
Greatest Name. It contains eleven phrases, in each of which are both
some good news and tidings, and a degree in the affirmation of the Unity
of God's Dominicality, and an aspect of the grandeur and perfection of
Divine Unity from the point of view of a Greatest Name. Referring the
explanation of these great and elevated truths to other parts of the
Risale-i Nur, in fulfillment of a promise we shall for now write a
brief, index-like summary of them in two Stations and an Introduction.]
