The Miraculous Nature of the Quran

How the Quran remains perpetually fresh, addressing every age.

The Quran is the pre-eternal translation of the book of the universe; it is a commentator reading the verses of this macro-book. It is also the spiritual sun of humanity. As time grows older, the Quran grows younger; its signs become clearer. Its address is not just to the Age of Bliss, but to all ages until the Resurrection. It is a divine pharmacy that finds remedies for the ills of every century. Just as nothing in the universe is by chance, no word in the Quran is coincidental. All are weighed on the scales of wisdom and arranged perfectly.

— Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Words, The Twenty-Fifth Word
