The Answer: In order to teach concerning the most momentous matters in the sphere of contingency, and the revolutions in the universe's history, and the most important, most significant, most awesome matters related to man's duties, which —since he has undertaken the supreme trust and vice-gerency of the earth— will lead to either his perdition or everlasting happi¬ness, and in order to remove his countless doubts and to smash his violent denials and obduracy, indeed, to make man confirm those awesome revolu¬tions and submit to those most necessary essential matters which are as great as the revolutions, if the Qur'an draws his attention to them thou¬sands, or even millions of times, it is not excessive, for those discussions in the Qur'an are read millions of times, and they do not cause boredom, nor does the need cease.
For example, since the verse.
For those who believe and do righteous deeds are gardens beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell there forever,³⁵ announces the good news of eternal happiness, and "saves from the eternal extinction of death, which every moment shows itself to wretched man, both himself, and his world, and all those he loves, and gains for them an everlasting sovereignty," if it is repeated thousands of millions of times and given the importance of the universe, it still is not excessive and does not lose its value. Thus, in teaching innumerable, invaluable matters of this sort, and endeavouring to persuade, convince, and prove the occurrence of the awesome revolutions which will destroy the present form of the uni¬verse and transform it as though it was a house, the Qur'an of Miraculous Exposition certainly draws attention to these matters thousands of times explicitly, implicitly, and allusively, and this is not excessive, but renews the bounty which is like an essential need, the same as the essential needs of bread, medicine, air, and light are renewed.
And, for example, as is proved decisively in the Risale-i Nur, the wis¬dom in the Qur'an repeating severely, angrily, and forcefully, threatening verses like.
For wrongdoers there is a grievous penalty.³⁶ * But for those who reject [Codj — for them will be the Fire of Hell.³⁷ is that man's unbelief is such a transgression against the rights of the uni verse and most creatures that it makes the heavens and earth angry and brings the elements to anger so that they deal blows on those wrongdoers with tempest and storm. According to the clear statement of the verses,
And when they are cast therein, they will hear the [terrible] draw-tng-in of its breath as it blazes forth * Almost bursting with fury³⁸ Hell so rages at those iniquitous deniers that it almost disintegrates with fury. Thus, through the wisdom of showing, not from the point of view of man's smallness and insignificance before such a general crime and bound¬less aggression, but the importance of the rights of the Monarch of Uni¬verse's subjects before the greatness of the wrongful crime and the awe-someness of the unjust aggression, and the boundless ugliness in the unbelief and iniquity of those deniers —in accordance with the wisdom of showing this, if repeating in His decree most wrathfully and severely the crime and its punishment, thousands, millions, or even thousands of mil¬lions of times, it still would not be excessive and a fauli, because for a thousand years thousands of millions of people have read such verses every day, not with boredom, but with total eagerness and need.
