And one of the concise and miraculous examples of the category of proof is this:

He says: Who will raise to life these bones when they are rotted? ∗ Say: He will raise them Who created them in the first instance, for He has full knowledge of every kind of creation.(36:78-79)

That is, “Man asks: Who will resurrect decayed bones? You say: Whoever made them in the first place and gave them life, He will resurrect them.” As was depicted in the third comparison of the Ninth Truth in the Tenth Word, someone reassembles a large army in one day before your eyes and someone else says: “At a bugle-call that person brought together the members of a battalion who had dispersed to rest; he is able to bring the battalion under order.” So, O man, if you say: “I don’t believe it,” you can see what a foolish denial it would be.

In just the same way, the All-Powerful and All-Knowing One enrolls and unites anew with the command of “‘Be!’, and it is”(36:82), and with perfect order and the balance of wisdom, the particles and subtle faculties of the battalion-like bodies of all the animals – which resemble an army – and other living creatures, and creates every century, and every spring even, all the hundreds of thousands of army-like species of living creatures on the face of the earth. Can it be questioned then how He can gather together at one blast of Israfil’s trumpet the fundamental parts and particles of a battalion-like body, which are already familiar with one another, through taking them under order? Can it be considered unlikely? To consider it unlikely is a mindless foolishness.

In the category of guidance, the Qur’an’s manner of exposition is so moving and tender, so familiar and gentle, that it fills the spirit with ardour, the heart with delight, the mind with interest, and the eyes with tears. Of thousands of examples is this verse:

And yet after all this your hearts hardened and became like rocks, or even harder... to the end of the verse.(2:74)

As is proved and explained in the discussion of the third verse in the First Station of the Twentieth Word, it says to the Children of Israel: “What has happened to you that although hard rocks shed tears from twelve springs like eyes before a miracle like the Staff of Moses (Upon whom be peace), you remain indifferent in the face of all his miracles, with your eyes dry and tearless and your hearts hard and without fervour?” Since guidance in this sense is explained there, we refer you to that Word and curtail this here.

Of thousands of examples in the category of making understood and silencing in argument, consider only the following two:
