Eighteenth Word 03

Reflections on Risale-i Nur

The Eighteenth Word is composed of three points: The Third Point that we are reflecting on in this episode is a commentary on the verse “Say, ‘If you love God, follow me, and God will love you… (Qur'an, 3: 31)” This point builds on the second point and establishes that since there is beauty in the creation, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the messenger and beloved of God and God examplar among the human beings to be followed. It is a beautiful and meaningful grace of God that we got to read this piece a couple of days before the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the 12th night of the Hijri month Rabi al-awwal.
