awesomeness of the unjust aggression, and the boundless ugliness of those deniers’ unbelief and iniquity – in accordance with the wisdom of showing this, if repeating in His decree wrathfully and severely, the crime and its punishment, thousands, millions, or even thousands of millions of times, it still would not be excessive and a fault, because for a thousand years thousands of millions of people have read these verses every day, not with boredom, but with complete eagerness and need.

Indeed, every day, all the time, for everyone one world disappears and the door of a new world is opened to them. By repeating “There is no god but God” a thousand times out of need and with longing in order to illuminate each of those transitory worlds, the Qur’an makes “There is no god but God” a lamp for each of those changing veils. In the same way, for the purpose of reading the Qur’an and recalling the penalties of those crimes and the Pre-Eternal Monarch’s severe threats to smash their obduracy, and of working to be saved from the rebellion of the soul so as not to obscure in darkness those multiple, fleeting veils and renewed travelling universes, nor uglify their images which are reflected in the mirrors of their lives, and not to turn against them those guest views which may testify in favour of them, the Qur’an repeats them in most meaningful fashion. Even Satan would shudder at imagining to be out of place these powerful, severe, and repeated threats of the Qur’an. They show the torments of Hell to be pure justice for those deniers who do not heed them.

And, for example, in repeating many times the stories of Moses (Upon whom be peace), which contain many instances of wisdom and benefits, such as those of the staff of Moses, and the stories of the other prophets (Upon whom be peace), the Qur’an demonstrates that the prophethoods of all the other prophets are a proof of the veracity of Muhammad’s (UWBP) prophethood and that anyone who does not deny all of them cannot in truth deny his messengership. For this purpose, and since everyone does not always have the time or capability to read the whole Qur’an, it repeats those stories similarly to the main pillars of belief, in this way making each of the long and middle-length suras like a small Qur’an. To repeat them, then, is not excessive; it is required by eloquence, and teaches that the question of Muhammad (UWBP) is the greatest question of humankind and the most important matter of the universe.

It has been demonstrated decisively in the Risale-i Nur with many proofs and indications that by affording the highest position to the person of Muhammad (UWBP) in the Qur’an and including him in four pillars of belief and holding “Muhammad is the Messenger of God” equal to the pillar of “There is no god but God,” that Muhammad’s (UWBP) messengership
