Sixteenth Word 01 - a podcast by Reflections on Nur

The Sixteenth Word is a commentary on the verses: "When He wills something to be, His way is to say ‘Be’ and it is! // So glory be to Him in Whose Hand lies control over all things. It is to Him that you will all be brought back (Qur’an, 36: 82-83)." It offers beautiful insights that resolve some complicated but important aspects of our understanding of God and His divine lordship. Ustad Nursi writes the following at the beginning of the treatise: "Written to afford some inner sight to my blinded lower soul by showing Four Rays from the luminous light of this verse that should be a source of reassurance for my soul and dispel darkness."
