'Your Sustainer inspired in the bee that it should seek a dwelling-place in the mountains.' {Qur'an, 16:68.}
"The bee is, with respect to its disposition and function, such a miracle of God's power that a whole sura, Sura al-Nahl, has been named after it. For to inscribe in the minute head of that little honey-machine a complete programme for the fulfilment of its important task; to place in its diminutive stomach the most delicious of foods and to ripen it there; to place in its sting poison capable of destroying and killing animate beings, without causing any harm to its own body or the member in question - to do all this without the utmost care and knowledge, with exceeding wisdom and purposiveness, partakes of a perfect orderliness and equilibriium, and hence unconscious, disorderly, disequilibriated nature and accident could never interfere or participate in any of this.
The appearance and comprehensiveness of this Divine craft, this dominical deed, which is miraculous in three separate respects, in the countless bees that are found scattered over the earth, with the same wisdom, the same care, the same symmetry, at the same time and in the same fashion - this is a self-evident proof of God's unity." (Risale-i Nur Collection, The Rays, p. 177)

"Balarısı fıtratça ve vazifece öyle bir mu'cize-i kudrettir ki; koca Sure-i Nahl, onun ismiyle tesmiye edilmiş. Çünki o küçücük bal makinesinin zerrecik başında, onun ehemmiyetli vazifesinin mükemmel programını yazmak ve küçücük karnında taamların en tatlısını koymak ve pişirmek ve süngücüğünde zîhayat a'zâları tahrib etmek ve öldürmek hâsiyetinde bulunan zehiri o uzuvcuğuna ve cismine zarar vermeden yerleştirmek; nihayet dikkat ve ilim ile ve gayet hikmet ve irade ile ve tam bir intizam ve muvazene ile olduğundan, şuursuz, intizamsız, mizansız olan tabiat ve tesadüf gibi şeyler elbette müdahale edemezler ve karışamazlar. İşte bu üç cihetle mu'cizeli bu san'at-ı İlahiyenin ve bu fiil-i Rabbaniyenin, bütün zemin yüzünde hadsiz arılarda, aynı hikmetle, aynı dikkatle, aynı mizanda, aynı anda, aynı tarzda zuhuru ve ihatası, bedahetle vahdeti isbat eder." (Şualar, Ayet-ül Kübra, s. 122)

O impatient sick brother! Although illness causes you an immediate suffering, from the time of your last illness until today, the passing of that illness leaves you with a spiritual pleasure and a happiness of the spirit arising from its rewards. From today, rather, from this hour on, there is no illness, and certainly no pain is to be had from nothing. And if there is no pain, there is no grief. You become impatient because you imagine things in a mistaken way.

Because, the physical aspect of your time of illness prior to today has gone and its pain has departed with it; only its reward and the pleasure of its passing remain. While it should give you profit and happiness, to think of past days and feel grieved and become impatient is lunacy. As for future days, they have not yet come. To think of them now and be grieved and display impatience by imagining a day that does not exist and an illness that does not exist and grief that does not exist, is to give the colour of existence to three degrees of non-existence –if that is not lunacy, what is?

Since, the times of illness prior to today produce joy; and since the time subsequent to the present hour is non-existent, the illness is non-existent, and the grief is non-existent; do not scatter the power of patience given to you by Almighty Allah to right and left; muster it in the face of the pain in the present hour, say: “Ya Sabur” (O Most Patient One!) and endure it.
