AUZUBILLAHIMINASSAYTANIRRACIYM BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIYM
(I seek refuge to Allah from the Satan rejected, stoned.
In the name of ALLAH, the Merciful, the Compassionate)
Continued on the THIRD IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE THIRD WAY:
(Third Way: "Nature necessitates it; nature makes it.")
The unbelieving nature-worshipper is speaking:
I say: 'ALL PRAISE BE TO ALLAH FOR BELIEF', and I believe in
Him. Only, I do have one doubt:
"I believe that Almighty Allah is the Creator, but what harm
does it do to the sovereignty of His Dominicality if some minor
causes have a hand in the creation of insignificant matters, and
thereby gain for themselves a little praise and acclaim? Does
it diminish His Sovereignity in some way?"
To which we answer: As we have conclusively proved in other
parts of the Risale-i Nur, the mark of rulership is that it
rejects interference. The most insignificant ruler or official
will not tolerate the interfrence of his own son, even, within
the sphere of his rule. The fact that, despite being Caliph,
certain devout Sultans had their innocent sons murdered on the
unfounded apprehension that the sons would interfere in their
rule demonstrates how fundemantal is this 'law of the rejection
of interference' in rulership. And the 'law of prevention of
partipation', which the independence intrinsic to rulership
necessitates, has shown its strength in the history of mankind
through extraordinary upheavals whenever there have been two
governors in a town or two kings in a country.
Thus, if the sense of rulership and sovereignty, which is a
mere shadow in human beings, who are impotent and in need of
assitance, rejects interference to his degree, prevents the
intervention of others, does not accept participation in its
sovereignty, and seeks to preserve the indepence of its positon
so jealously, then, if you can, compare this with an
All-Glorious One Whose Absolute Sovereignty is at the Degree of
Divinity, Absolute Independence at the Degree of Oneness, and
Absolute Lack of Need at the Degree of Absolute Power, and
understand what a necessary requirement and inevitable necessity
of that Rulership is this rejection of interference, prevention
of participation, and repulsion of partners.
AND SECONDLY, YOU ASKED: "If some of the worship of some
insignificant beings is directed towards certain causes, what
deficiency does this cause to the worship of all beings, from
particles to planets, which is directed towards the Necessarily
Existent One Who is the Absolute Object of All Worship?"
TO WHICH WE REPLY: The All-Wise Creator of the universe made
the universe like a tree with conscious beings as its most
perfect fruit, and among conscious beings He made man its most
compreherensive fruit. And man's most important fruit, rather,
the fruit of his life is his thanks and worship. Would that
Absolute Sovereign and Independent Ruler, that Single One of
Unity, Who creates the universe in order to make Himself known
and loved, give away to others man, who is the fruit of the
whole universe, and man's thanks and worship, which are his
most elevated fruit? Totally contrary to His wisdom, would He
be content to give away the worship of creatures to others in a
way that would deny His Wisdom and His Dominicality? And
although He demonstrates through His actions that He wishes to
make Himself known and loved to an unlimited degree, would He
cause His most perfect creatures to forget Him by handing over
to causes their thanks and gratitude, love and worship, and
cause them to deny the exalted purposes in the universe?
Oh friend who has given up the worship of nature! Now, it is
for you to say! To which he replied:
"All praise be to Allah, these two doubts of mine have now been
resolved. And your two proofs concerning Allah's unity which
demontrates that the only True Object of Worship is He, and that
nothing other than Him is worthy of worship are so brilliant and
powerful that to deny them would require as much arrogance as to
deny the sun and the day."
