To conclude:

 

• All of Earth’s features bear various stamps of the One, Eternally-Besought-of-All.
• Heedlessness, ingratitude, and unbelief arise from groundless conceptions or notions.
• Some of humanity’s artifacts may be worth thousands of dollars because of their art, while their material costs are negligible. Belief connects humanity to the All-Permanent Maker, while unbelief reduces humanity to the level of coal, which decays in the ground.
• There are four realities that humanity cannot change.
• What is referred to as “happiness” in this world is deceiving, temporary, and short-lived.
• The All-Powerful Maker has spread millions of plant and animal worlds on Earth’s face. Every world is like a sea whose drops are charged with cleaning.
• What about the Prophetic Traditions concerning the Mahdi, the approaching of the Last Hour, and the great tumults predicted to occur?
• God created everything. Evil and defect, fault and vice are the results of the created thing’s nature and imperfect capacities, and their misuse of their willpower.
• All species embrace and help each other. Their members come together and separate on good terms.
• God’s acts are not open to question.
• Saints differ in the conclusions they draw through inspiration and spiritual unveiling, but agree on the fundamentals of religion. Why saints and Prophets preceding Prophet Muhammad only elaborated upon Divine Unity, while the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad explained all pillars of the belief so clearly that they do not require further clarification.
• Humanity serves as a unit of comparison in five ways.
• Why are you reluctant to sell to your All-Munificent Lord that which is already His property—your selfhood and life?
• A person who refuses this bargain.
• If you want to be near to Him, you must develop and expand so that you can represent humanity, and acquire an absolutely universal existence, which is almost impossible, or renounce and annihilate your selfhood so that He may be “seen” in it.
• An analogy to understand the difference between the Qur’an’s wisdom and philosophy’s viewpoint.
• Those who trust God, and those who do not.
• Qur’anic verses end in specific ways. What do these endings signify?
• Everything says In and with the Name of God either verbally or through the tongue of disposition or potential.
• The difference between belief in Divine Unity, atheism, and heresy.
• A blossom of the tree of the verse: The seven heavens and Earth and all that is in them glorify Him.
• Meaning of Glory be to Him and God is the Greatest.
• All things worship God, prostrate to Him, and praise and glorify Him in their own specific ways.
• Every species has a “nightingale” that represents it. Prophet Muhammad is the most honorable nightingale.
• An animal is born with the skills and practical knowledge needed for its survival. This shows that it is sent here only to work. Human beings need to acquire such knowledge and petition God to meet their needs. This shows that we are sent here to be perfected through learning and worship.
• Since the All-Munificent Creator is free of any impotence and is perfectly munificent, He creates a particle as He creates the sun and gives both the same sort of existence.
• The Islamic Shari‘a enables people to change their daily acts and deeds into a treasury for their afterlife. Our most ordinary actions can become acts of worship.
• Among angels are those resembling human shepherds and farmers. They superintend animals and the spreading and growth of plants. However, they differ from their human counterparts in one important aspect: They do it purely in the Name of God, for His sake, and by His command and Power.
