reward and punishment thousands of times, explicitly, implicitly, and allusively, and teaching them in every sura, on every page, and in every discussion?"

The Answer: It would not be excessive if the Qur'an were to draw attention to them thousands, or even millions of time, for it does so in order to teach man concerning the most momentous matters in the sphere of contingency, and the revolutions in the universe's history, and the most important, most significant, most awesome matters related to his duties, which — since he has undertaken the supreme trust and vicegerency of the earth will lead to either his perdition or everlasting happiness, and in order to remove his countless doubts and to smash his violent denials and obduracy, indeed, to make man affirm those awesome revolutions and submit to those most necessary essential matters which are as great as the revolutions. Indeed, those discussions in the Qur'an are read millions of times and they do not cause boredom, nor does the need cease.

For example, since the verse,

For those who believe and do righteous deeds are gardens beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell there forever, [^35]

[^35]:Qur'an, 5:85, etc.

announces the good news of eternal happiness and "saves from the eternal extinction of death, which every moment shows itself to wretched man, both himself, and his world, and all those he loves, and gains for them an everlasting sovereignty if it were repeated thousands of millions of times and given the importance of the universe, it still would not be excessive nor lose its value. Thus, in teaching innumerable, invaluable matters of this sort, and endeavouring to persuade, convince, and prove the occurrence of the awesome revolutions that will destroy the present form of the universe and transform it as though it were a house, the Qur'an of Miraculous Exposition certainly draws attention to those matters thousands of times explicitly, implicitly, and allusively, and this is not excessive but renews the bounty which is like an essential need, the same as the essential needs of bread, medicine, air, and light are renewed.

And, for example, as is proved decisively in the Risale-i Nur, the wisdom in the Qur'an repeating severely, angrily, and forcefully threatening verses like,

For wrongdoers there is a grievous penalty. [^36] ∗ But for those who reject [God] —for them will be the Fire of Hell. [^37]

[^36]:Qur'an, 14:22.

[^37]:Qur'an, 35:36.
