Kerdipan Ketiga Puluh

This treatise is a concise yet profound reflection on six of the Divine Names from the Beautiful Names of God (Asma al-Husna): al-Fard (The Unique), al-Hayy (The Ever-Living), al-Qayyum (The Self-Subsisting), al-‘Adl (The Just), al-Hakem (The Wise Judge), and al-Quddus (The Most Pure). Comprising six subtle points, The Thirtieth Flash forms a unique chapter within the Risale-i Nur Collection, focusing specifically on the theological, philosophical, and spiritual meanings of these Names and their manifestations throughout existence.

The treatise begins by elaborating on how these Names represent essential aspects of divine reality and cosmic order. Each Name is not approached as a mere abstract attribute but as a living reality reflected in every corner of the universe—from the structure of atoms to the order of galaxies, from the human conscience to the laws of nature. In this sense, The Thirtieth Flash serves as a contemplative journey through the meanings of these Names, guiding the reader toward a more grounded and experiential understanding of Allah’s unity, justice, life, and wisdom.

For instance, the Name al-Fard, or “The Unique,” is explained as a sign of the absolute oneness of the Creator, who is utterly unlike anything in creation. Al-Hayy, “The Ever-Living,” affirms the truth that every form of life is a reflection of the divine source of life, while al-Qayyum, “The Self-Subsisting,” denotes the sustainer of all beings—One who is in need of nothing yet everything depends on Him.

As the treatise progresses, it also discusses the Names al-‘Adl and al-Hakem, both of which signify the order, balance, and wisdom evident in the universe. These Names are shown to govern the unfolding of life with purpose and fairness, leaving no room for blind chance or chaos. Finally, al-Quddus, “The Most Pure,” is presented as the One who is utterly free from imperfection and who purifies all existence through His grace.

Overall, The Thirtieth Flash invites the reader to recognize that belief in Allah is not confined to ritual observance or abstract doctrine; it is also a deep and dynamic awareness of His Names reflected throughout creation. Through this awareness, one’s spiritual vision is sharpened, leading to greater humility, inner peace, and a sense of purpose. Like other works in the Risale-i Nur, this flash offers not only intellectual insight but also a spiritual nourishment that helps illuminate the soul’s journey toward its Creator.
