Article Belief Provides Heaven in Both Worlds

[gokce]

As if the unbelief loads the whole universe with the sorrow of inexistence of all the creatures, then it fills that sorrow into the mind and the heart of non-believer. This makes him feel hellish torments because of his unbelief as long as he lives.

It is mentally and logically impossible to refuse that unbelief has a consequence like that. Thus Risale-i Nur shows everybody if they didn’t lose their minds that unbelief presently contains the hell and hellish torments inside of them. And it becomes a means of salvation originating from the Qur’an for the people who didn’t lose their minds to renounce from unbelief.

Non-believer usually plunges himself into extravagant pleasures or drunkenness to escape from the sorrow and torment of unbelief. Or he tries to numb his mind. Even, they consider it as the greatest insult to remind the death to them, since this would remind all the inexistence one day they would encounter.

Belief, on the other hand, proves that the death is an acquittal from execution for the believer. And Risale-i Nur shows to that believer that his beloveds, relatives and friends, and also all the creatures and the entire universe are saved from inexistence through his belief. As the belief causes that believer to earn the heaven in the afterlife, it also provides heavenly pleasures to believer in this world as long as he lives.

So as belief causes the believer to earn heaven, it bears the seed of a Tuba Tree of Heaven. Even so it bears the seed of the heaven itself. It takes place in the heart of the believer as a heaven, and makes him to enjoy the pleasures and happiness of the heaven. But unbelief, as it bears the seed of a Zaqqum Tree of Hell, it results the hell, so it holds a hell in itself. Then it bothers that unbeliever by hellish torments even in this world.

Consequently, when we appreciate the Risale-i Nur, we will find that all the debates and judgments on belief and unbelief are carried out in this way. We have tried to show a little drop of samples to reflect that ocean. Only one sign is enough for a wise man.

Oh, Allah! Make us to love the belief and make it the ornament of our hearts. Empower us against unbelief and sins and denial. Keep us away from them. Amen
Amen
