Also included in this collection are the, celebrated treatise on nature and discussion on divine self-subsistence, which lay open the unsound. basis of Naturalist and Materialist philosophies and demonstrate in reasoned and logical manner the necessity of the divine existence and unity. Other sections answer criticisms made by atheists of certain Qur'anic verses and Hadiths. A further fruit of this Qur'anic way opened up by the Risale-i Nur is the solving of important 'mysteries' and 'riddles' of existence, before which, despite all their advances, science, philosophy, and pure reason have remained impotent: namely life and the constant activity in the universe, the true nature and purposes of Which are discussed in the Thirtieth Flash. In thus solving the purposes of the existence of man and this world, this work demonstrates man's true happiness and progress to lie in the way of the Qur'an and the way of God's Messenger, Peace and blessings be upon him.
