The Supreme Sign of the Cosmos
A traveler questioning the universe asks all creations about their Maker.
— Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Rays, The Seventh RayA traveler through the world said to himself: "Since the beings of this universe are speaking to me, I must ask them about my Creator." He saw that every room and every station of this magnificent palace of the universe describes its Master and Maker through the language of its disposition. The heavens declare His majesty with a hundred thousand words, in languages as numerous as the stars. The earth, with its flowers, trees, and seas, makes known His mercy and wisdom. The traveler understood that nothing can be relegated to chance; everything has emerged from the hand of His power.
