of each Name.

descent from the comprehensiveness of the
Greatest Name;

to and inspects all sides of the Sublime Throne.
Third Part: The Qur’an is a revealed Scripture
which contains in summary the Books of all
Prophets (Pbut)
Its Six Aspects are brilliant and refined from the
darkness of doubts and skepticism; its point of
support is a certain heavenly Revelation and the
pre-eternal Word;
 Its aim and goal is self-evidently Eternal
Happiness;
 Its inner aspect is clearly pure Guidance;
 Its upper aspect is necessarily the lights of
Beliefs;
 Its lower aspect is undeniably evidence & proof;
 Its right aspect is evidently the surrender
of the heart and conscience;
 Its left aspect is manifestly the subjugation
of the reason and intellect;
 Its Fruit is undisputedly the Mercy of the
Most Merciful and the Realm of Paradise;
and its rank and desirability are assuredly
accepted by the Angels, Man and the Jinn.
The First Light
Consist of three Rays:
 Eloquence of the Qur’an Q2:23; 2:23; 112:1; 2:1-2
“Iqra bismi Rabbikallazii khalaq, Khalaqal-’insaana min ‘alaq.
“Iqra wa Rabbukal-’Akram, Allazii allama bil-Qalam,
Allamal’insana ma lam ya’lam.”
 Extraordinary comprehensiveness, Q78:7; 21:30;
36:38; 2:5; 8:24;76:30 & 41:11; 36:80
 Miraculous exposition which is its giving news to
the Unseen, preserving its youth in every age, and
being appropriate to every level of person. Q30:1-2;
48:27-28; 30:3-4; 24:55; 3:64 O people of the Book!.
Second Light
Consist of three Beams:
 Miraculous exposition as a whole a pleasant fluency,
superior correctness, a firm mutual solidarity, and
compact proportionateness, powerful cooperation
between the sentences and parts, and an elevated
harmony between the verses and their aims.
 Miraculous qualities in the Qur’an’s unique style in the
summaries and the Most Beautiful Divine Names, which
it shows at the ends of its verses. Q2:29; 78:6-17; 10:31-32;
2:164; 12:6; 3:27; 23:12-14; 7:54; 2:31-32; 16:66 & 17:42-44.
 Qur’an is incomparable to any other words and speech.
The speech is of different categories, with regard to
superiority, power, beauty, fineness and it has four
sources: one is the speaker, the person addressed, the
purpose and its form. Q41:11; 36:82; 50:6-11;
Third Light
Consist of three Gleams:
 The Qur’an’s verses scatter the darkness of the unbelief
by spreading the light of miraculousness and guidance &
Wisdom of the Qur’an. Q 62:1, 17:44
 The difference b/n human science & philosophy looking
at the world as fixed & constant. Qur’an looks at the
world as transient, passing, deceptive, traveling,
unstable & undergoing a revolution. Q101:1; 21:30; 6:32;
39:68; 27:93
 The degree of Wisdom and Science, Qur’an’s sublimityis a clear proof of its Truth and Justice, the most
powerful Sign of its Miraculousness. Q 39:67; 21:104;
3:5-6; 11:56; 29:60; 6:1; 37:96; 30:50; 16:68; 7:54;
67:19; 2:255: 57:4; 57:3; 50:16; 70:4 & 16:90
 Now let me focus on the Proof-the various Discoveries
in the fields of Science.
Conclusion
