The trite and partial translations of man cannot hold the place of the miraculous and comprehensive expressions of the words of the Qur'an, each letter of which affords from ten to a thousand rewards; [such translations] may not be read in mosques." While some aspect of this fact is shown to be true in many places in the Risale-i Nur, it is chiefly the twenty-fifth Word, called the Miraculousness of the Qur'an, which in demonstrating forty aspects of the Qur'an's miraculousness, proves this decisively to be the case.

By law, they can meet with their relations and they are not prevented from mixing with others. In every nation and state worship and prayer are immune from interference. Those like me stayed together with their friends and relations in towns. They were prevented neither from mixing with
