“There are three universal things that make our Lord known to us: One is this Book of the Cosmos. We have heard a small part of its testimony in thirteen flashes from the “Thirteenth Lesson” of the Treatise of Light in Arabic. Another is the Seal of Prophets, blessings and peace upon him, who is the Great Sign of that great book. And the other is the Qur'an of tremendous standing. Now, we should get to know and listen to the Seal of Prophets, blessings and peace be upon him, who is that second articulate demonstration.”

The Eighteenth Word is composed of three points: The Third Point that we are reflecting on in this episode is a commentary on the verse “Say, ‘If you love God, follow me, and God will love you… (Qur'an, 3: 31)” This point builds on the second point and establishes that since there is beauty in the creation, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the messenger and beloved of God and God examplar among the human beings to be followed. It is a beautiful and meaningful grace of God that we got to read this piece a couple of days before the birthday of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the 12th night of the Hijri month Rabi al-awwal.

The Seventeenth Word is a commentary on the verses: "We have adorned the earth with attractive things so that We may test people to find out which of them do best, // but We shall reduce all this to barren dust (Qur'an, 18: 7-8)." and "The life of this world is nothing but a game and a distraction… (Qur'an, 6: 32)" It exposes the reality of the world as a means to a higher end that is not worthy of attachment in and of itself.
