The Universal Chorus
Every atom and every galaxy sings a silent song of divine artistry.
— Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Letters, The Sixth LetterEverything in the universe says 'Bismillah' (In the Name of God) through its tongue of disposition. Yes, just as a man who acts in the name of a king can accomplish many tasks through the power of that name. In the same way, all beings act in the Name of Almighty God. Tiny seeds carry mountain-like trees on their shoulders. Delicate roots pierce through hard rocks. This means that because everything acts in the name of God, they operate with infinite power and wisdom.
