This epistle was of tremendous importance in the eyes of its author. Many of the greatest geniuses of Islamic thought, the likes of Ibn Sīnā, were unable to provide a real demonstration of the reality of the corporeal Resurrection and Hereafter with purely logical arguments; yet Imām Nursī was able to expound this extremely challenging pillar of faith with such ease and clarity that even ordinary laymen and children can easily understand it.

The Resurrection Epistle treats the following three main subjects:
- Proving the existence of the Necessary Being
- Proving His Names and Attributes
- Proving the Resurrection via adducing proofs on the basis of the former two realities.
