In the Name of Allah, The All-Merciful and Most Merciful

Believers who experience such comfort and
hope will never give way to despair and hope-
lessness, while unbelievers do. They know the
comfort and contentment of taking refuge in
Allah, and the joy and delight that this gives
their hearts. This is one of the greatest blessings,
for it causes people to live humble and moral
lives and leads them to turn to Allah. They know

that Allah is with them when they pray, and
draw near to Him in sincerity when they en-
counter difficulties. They firmly believe that He
hears them and is preparing an eternal and in-
comparable Paradise for them. Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi explains this deep submission:

The most important aspect, the most beautiful aim,
the sweetest fruit of this is this: "The one who of-
fers the supplications knows that there is Someone
Who hears the wishes of his heart, Whose hand can
reach all things, Who can bring about each of his
desires, Who takes pity on his impotence, and an-
swers his poverty." And so, O impotent, needy
man! Do not neglect a means like supplication,
which is the key to the treasury of mercy and to an
inexhaustible strength. Cling to it! Rise to the
highest peaks of humanity! Include in your suppli-
cations those of all the universe, like a king! Say,
From You alone do we seek help. (Bediuzzaman
Said Nursi, The Words, Twenty-Third Word)
