The aim is to contemplate and understand the signs of God in the universe, drawing insights from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's teachings. The speaker hopes that these lessons will inspire attentiveness and reflection.
First Lema: Understanding Tevhid
The first theme emphasizes the importance of establishing stability in understanding God's unity. It highlights that everything originates from God Almighty, and recognizing this is crucial. The lesson underscores that every living creature is a unique entity, created with specific measurements and customs, all stemming from a single source.
Second Lema: Transparency and Divine Attributes
The second theme focuses on the relationship between transparency and divine attributes. It suggests that denying the sun would necessitate accepting numerous surrogates equal to the sun's transparent reflections. Similarly, denying air, water, and soil would lead to the acceptance of countless deities. This illustrates the necessity of acknowledging God's existence and attributes.
Fourth Lema: The Universe as a Book
The fourth theme introduces the concept of the universe as a book, with each element serving as a letter, word, or paragraph constantly being rewritten. This book is written in the "mouth of the universe," emphasizing the dynamic and ever-changing nature of creation. The letters and words within this book are seen as a poem, reflecting the beauty and artistry of God.
Seventh Lema: The Universe as a Factory and Cradle of Brotherhood
The seventh theme views the universe as both a factory and a palace, highlighting the continuous operation and interconnectedness of its elements. It emphasizes that the universe is a cradle of brotherhood, where beings assist each other, contrasting the idea of constant conflict. This perspective promotes unity and cooperation.
Eighth Lema: The Element Rezzak
The eighth theme focuses on the element Rezzak, emphasizing that all living beings, regardless of size or lifespan, require sustenance. This sustenance is provided in an orderly manner, tailored to each being's needs. The provision of sustenance is seen as an act of love and care, demonstrating God's role as the provider.
Ninth Lema: Seeds, Fields, and Tawhid
The ninth theme compares beings to seeds in a house, with elements acting as a field. It concludes that the environment and addressee are the same, reinforcing the concept of Tawhid. This suggests that everything belongs to the same source, from particles to the solar system, highlighting the interconnectedness of creation.
Tenth Lema: Unity and Oneness
The tenth theme discusses unity and oneness, describing it as a blanket that collects various elements into a single concept. This unity is characterized by truth, ease, and color, all based on a single source. The ease of producing diverse elements in the same factory and printing them with the same deep blue is emphasized.
Eleventh Lema: Coincidences and Similarities
The eleventh theme emphasizes the importance of recognizing coincidences and similarities among beings. It highlights that these are not accidental but indicate a deeper unity and artistry. The lesson references classical logic, discussing concepts like genus and species to classify beings based on their shared traits.
Classical Logic and Classification of Beings
This section explains the importance of classifying beings in sciences, emphasizing estimation and features. It references the "Five Universals" from classical logic, which include genus, species, difference, property, and accident. The speaker explains how these concepts are used to categorize and understand the relationships between different entities.
Genus and Species
The speaker defines genus as the most inclusive category and species as a subset within the genus. Examples are provided to illustrate how different entities (e.g., humans, lions, cherry trees) can be grouped under broader categories like "living being" or "existence." This classification helps in understanding the shared and unique characteristics of beings.
Similarities and Coincidences in the Universe
The speaker notes that the universe exhibits both similarities and coincidences among beings, which are essential for classification and examination. These similarities are not random but indicate a single origin and artistry. The classifications used in biology and zoology are enriched and diversified, starting from the universe and moving towards specific kingdoms.
Inclusive Sets and Permission
The speaker describes how beings enter into inclusive sets based on similarities and coincidences. This involves creating larger circles that encompass smaller circles, representing broader categories that include specific entities. This hierarchical classification demonstrates the interconnectedness of all beings and the work of a unifying force.
Science and Coincidences
The speaker emphasizes that science is built on recognizing similarities and coincidences. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi highlights the coincidences between members of a species and the lights of a species. These are not coincidental concepts but essential elements, reflecting a single signature and style.
Discovering New Species
The speaker notes that numerous new species are discovered each year, requiring constant reclassification and categorization. This ongoing process enriches our understanding of the natural world and highlights the complexity of creation. Debates about the classification of certain items (e.g., watermelon as a vegetable or fruit) illustrate the nuances of this process.
Similarities and the Unity of the Creator
The speaker concludes that the similarities and coincidences in the universe point to the unity of the creator. These overlapping elements indicate that the multitudes resembling each other are the work and art of a single entity. This reinforces the concept of Tawhid through scientific observation.
Constructions and Inventions
The speaker discusses the concepts of construction and invention in the universe. Construction involves using existing materials to create new forms, while invention involves creating without a pre-existing model. Both processes demonstrate God's artistry and power, with the human body serving as an example of continuous construction and renewal.
Ease and Imitation
The speaker emphasizes the ease with which God creates diverse and intricate beings, contrasting it with the effort required to imitate even a single flower. This ease is a significant evidence of God's unique ability and artistry. The speaker also notes that beings are constantly renewed, exhibiting endless art and complexity.
The Importance of Order and Tawhid
The speaker underscores the importance of order in the universe and how it reflects God's unity. Any disruption of this order would lead to chaos and impossibility. The speaker references Quranic verses to support the idea that the universe operates under a single, consistent divine will.
The Essence of Tawhid
The speaker defines the real difference between Tawhid, emphasizing that God has no partner in His essence or in the state of His home. This is based on the form, and if the opposite situation is the case, the conversation comes out. It is difficult this causes a possible impossibility and the universe comes out of the unseen and that is the april is spoiled and corrupted.
Twelfth Lema: Life as Evidence

Life is seen as evidence of God's existence and attributes, with living beings expressing divine names. The speaker highlights that even the smallest living thing is a sample of the entire universe.
Transparent Things and the Sun
The speaker uses the example of flowing rivers and waving seas to illustrate how transparent things reflect the sun's light. Each bubble and drop of water acts as a small mirror, testifying to the sun's existence. This analogy demonstrates how living beings reflect God's attributes and presence.
Continuity and Permanence
The speaker emphasizes the continuity and permanence of God, using the example of water flowing in a river. Even as individual drops pass, new ones take their place, continuously reflecting the sun's light. This illustrates that while beings may die and fade, God's attributes and presence endure.
The Body of Shams
The speaker explains that transparent entities, with their deaths, give a man to Shams's body, with their deaths, Shams will continue. Actually, they are evaluating, now let's place this in our minds, see, if Chefs are never transparent things, with their existence, they indicate the existence of the sun, but the man is crazy, that is, with their deaths, with their passing, look, with their passing, they pass by tens, but its ships are constantly coming and coming one after another, some of them are passing by, and new ones are coming one after another.
Consolation and Renewal

This reflects the continuous renewal and change in the universe, with each moment offering a unique taste of God's creation.
