Now, look! What curiosity-arousing, attractive, necessary, and awesome truths he shows, what matters he proves!

You know that what impels man most is curiosity. Even, if you were to be told: “If you give half of your life and property, someone will come from the moon and Jupiter and tell you all about them. He will also tell you the truth about your future and what will happen to you,” you would be bound to give them if you have any curiosity at all. Whereas that Being tells of such a Monarch that in His realm, the moon flies round a moth like a fly, and the moth, the earth, flutters round a lamp, and the lamp, the sun, is merely one lamp among thousands in one guesthouse out of thousands of that Monarch.

Also, he speaks truly of a world so wondrous and a revolution so momentous that if thousands of earths were to become bombs and explode, it would not be all that strange. Look! Listen to the suras he recites like, “When the sun is folded up”(81:1); ∗ “When the sky is cleft asunder”(82:1); ∗ “[The Day] of Noise and Clamour.”(101:1)

Also, he speaks truly about a future in comparison with which the future in this world is like a tiny mirage. And he tells most seriously of a happiness in comparison with which all worldly happiness is but a fleeting flash of lightning in relation to an eternal sun.

For sure, such wonders await us behind the apparent veil of the universe which is thus strange and perplexing. So a Being thus wonderful and extraordinary, a displayer of marvels, is necessary to tell of its wonders. It is apparent from that Being’s conduct that he has seen them, and sees them, and says that he has seen them. And he instructs us most soundly concerning what the God of the heavens and the earth, Who nurtures us with His bounties, wants and desires of us. Everyone should therefore leave everything and run to and heed this Being who teaches numerous other necessary and curiosity-arousing truths like these. So how is it that most people are deaf and blind, and mad even, so that they do not see this truth and they do not listen to it and understand it?
