My soul said in the name of science and philosophy: “According to the nature of things,  the beings in the universe intervene in other beings. Everything looks to a cause. The fruit has to be sought from the tree and seed from the soil. So what does it mean to seek the tiniest and least insignificant thing from God and to beseech Him for it?”

Through the light of the Qur’an, the meaning of divine unity then unfolded in the

following way: like the greatest thing, the tiniest and most particular proceeds directly from the power of the Creator of the whole universe and emerges from His treasury. It cannot occur in any other way. As for causes, they are merely a veil. For in regard to art and creation,  sometimes the creatures we suppose to be the smallest and least important are greater than the largest creatures. Even if a fly is not of greater art than a chicken, it is not of lesser art. In which case, no difference should be made between great and small. Either all should be divided between material causes, or all should be attributed at once to a single Being. And just as the former is impossible, the latter is necessary and imperative.

For if beings are attributed to a single Being, that is to a Pre-Eternal All-Powerful One, since His knowledge, the existence of which is certain by reason of the order and wisdom in all beings, encompasses everything; and since the measure of all things is determined in His knowledge; and since observedly beings which are infinitely full of art continuously come into  existence from nothing with infinite ease; and since in accordance  with  innumerable  powerful  evidences  that  All-Knowing  All-Powerful One is able to create anything whatever through the command of “‘Be!’ and it is” as simply as striking a match, and as is explained in many parts of the Risale-i Nur and proved particularly in the Twentieth Letter and at the end of the Twenty-Third Flash, He possesses unlimited power – since this is the case, the  extraordinary ease and facility which  we  observe arises  from that  all-encompassing  knowledge and  vast power.

For example, if a special solution is applied to a book written in invisible ink, that

huge book suddenly demonstrates its existence visibly and makes itself read. In just the same way, the particular form and appointed measure of everything is determined in the all-encompassing knowledge of the Pre-Eternal All-Powerful One. Through the command of  “‘Be!’ and it is” and with that limitless power of His and penetrating will, like spreading  the  solution on the writing,  the Absolutely All-Powerful One applies a manifestation of His power to the being which exists as knowledge and with utter ease  and  facility  gives  it  external  existence;  He  displays  and  makes  read  the embroideries of His wisdom.
