is, owing to their absolute disbelief, they feel that hellish torment in their hearts. For a person is happy at the happiness of his relatives and is tormented at their torments, and due to the beliefs of the deniers of God, all their happiness is destroyed and replaced by torment. Thus at this time there is one single way dispelling this immaterial hell from people's hearts in this world, and that is the All-Wise Qur'an, and the Risale-i Nur and its various parts, which is a miracle of the Qur'an in accordance with the understanding of the age.

And I have been instrumental in ninety-five per cent of those unfortunates being saved from insult, criticism, and oppression. For according to the verse, "No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another," the fault was ascribed to only five per cent.
