|This forms a brief indication to a lengthy truth concerning a subtle point of miraculousness of great importance which was imparted to me after sunset and demonstrates clearly miraculous predictions of Sura al-Falaq concerning the Unseen.]
In the Name of God. the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say: I seek refuge with the Sustainer of the rising dawn * From the evil of aught that He has created. * And from the evil of the black darkness whenever it descends, * And from the evil of blowers on knots, * And from the evil of the envious when he envies.⁴⁸
Commanding God's Messenger (PBUH) and his community to "Protect yourselves from the evil beings and satans among jinn and men who strive in the universe on account of the worlds of non-being," this mighty, wondrous verse looks to all ages, and through its allusive meaning looks to a greater degree to our strange age, even explicitly, and calls on the Qur'an's servants to seek refuge with God. This miraculous prediction about the Unseen will be explained briefly in five signs, as follows:
All the verses of this sura have numerous meanings. Only in respect of its allusive meaning, its repeating the word "evil" four times in five sentences; and with a powerful relation and in four ways its pointing the finger with the same date to the four unparalleled, ghastly, stormy evils, material and immaterial, of this age, with its revolutions and clashes, and its implicitly giving the command: "withdraw from these;" is certainly guidance from the Unseen in a way befitting the Qur'an's miraculousness.
For example, the sentence Say: I seek refuge with the Sustainer of the dawn 'coincides' with the date 1352 or 1354 according to abjad and jafr reckoning, alluding to the Second World War, which was brewing up then erupted due to the prevalent ambition and greed of mankind and the First War, and in effect saying to the community of Muhammad (PBUH): "Do not enter this war, but seek refuge with your Sustainer." With another of its allusive meanings, as a special favour to the Risale-i Nur students, who are servants of the Qur'an, it hints to them that they were to be saved around the same date from Eskişehir Prison and an awesome evil, and that the
plans to eliminate them would come to nothing. It was as though commanding them symbolically to seek refuge with God.
And for example, the sentence From the evil of aught that He has created makes 1361 —the doubled rā is not counted— and points the finger through both the Rumi and Hij ri dates at the cruel, tyrannical destruction of this unmatched war. 'Coinciding' too with the Risale-i Nur students, who work with all their strength to serve the Qur'an, being delivered from an extensive plan to eliminate them and from a grievous calamity and Denizli Prison, it looks with an allusive meaning to them too. With a concealed sign it says: "Protect yourselves from the evil of creatures."
And for example, making 1328 if the doubled letters are not counted and 1358 if the doubled lam is counted, the sentence the blowers on knots 'coincides' with the dates when due their ambition and greed the Europeans tyrants who caused the two World Wars, instigated a change of Sultan and the Balkan and Italian Wars with the idea of spoiling the consequences of the Constitutional Revolution, which favoured the Qur'an; then with the outbreak of the First World War, through the political diplomats blowing their evils, material and immaterial and their sorcery and poison into everyone's heads through the tongue of the radio and their inculcating their covert plans into the heart of human destiny, they prepared the evils that would savagely destroy a thousand years of the progress of civilization, which corresponds exactly with the meaning of the blowers on knots.
And for" example, the sentence And from the evil of the envious when he envies makes 1347 —the doubled ra and tanwln are not counted— and coincides exactly, and corresponds in meaning, with the significant upheavals which occurred in this country due to the enforced European treaties, and the changes that took place in this religious nation due to the oppression of philosophy, and the awesome envy, rivalry and clashes in various countries which paved the way for the Second World War.
These are surely flashes of this sacred sura's miraculous predictions concerning the Unseen. ----------------------------------
