“IMAGINARY” String of Advice from Badiuzzaman Said Nursi (2)

Know! O proud self, you are like the Bedouin above. This vast world is like the desert. Your poverty and helplessness are infinite, and your enemies and desires are never ending.

If that is the case, bear the name of the eternal ruler of this desert, so that you are saved from begging from creatures and are limited from feeling anxious and restless in facing various events.

Said Nursi emphasized to us that the sentence Bismillah This is a great wealth that never ends.

A person who acts according to this phrase is like someone who joins an army. He acts on behalf of the nation without fear of anyone. Because he speaks on behalf of the nation and the law, he can complete his mission and remain steadfast in the face of anything.

All entities also act in the name of Allah SWT. By saying Bismillah , very small seeds carry a number of very large and heavy trees. This means that each tree speaks Bismillah and fill its branches with fruits that come from wealth divine grace to present to us.

Some other examples include a garden becoming a kitchen, a vessel for ripening various delicious foods, and blessed animals such as camels, goats, and cows becoming sources that produce abundant milk. So, in the name of Allah and the beneficent here, everything is subject to him.
