The Scales of Cosmic Justice
How the Divine Names Al-Adl (The Just) and Al-Hakim (The Wise) balance the universe.
— Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Flashes, The Thirtieth FlashAll beings in the universe have been created in a wonderful balance and measure through the manifestation of the Names The Just and The Wise. There is no waste, futility, or imbalance in anything. From the eye of an ant to the solar systems, a sensitive scale governs everything. If there were even an atom's weight of injustice or lack of wisdom, the order of the universe would be destroyed. The Creator who established this balance will surely not leave the cruelties and injustices of humanity unpunished; He will manifest perfect justice in the greatest tribunal, the Resurrection.
