Asâ-yı Mûsâ

Beloved, faithful brothers; Asâ-yi Mûsâ and Zülfikar, and the collections of Mu’cizât-ı Ahmediye and Kur’âniye, when you deem it appropriate, send them to the scholars around Ravza-i Mutahharan, and write to them: "The Nur Epistles' Medresetü'z-Zehra is a spiritually needy and humble student, a disciple who has been subjected to the attacks of fierce enemies, and a small circle and branch of your great medrese, which always turns towards the Islamic world. Therefore, we expect from those great teachers, compassionate fathers, and noble guides, full spiritual help for this poor child. The two books presented to our great teachers are like a student's evening submission to his teacher and father, to show how much he has understood his lessons. These two lessons of ours have been presented to those compassionate scholars for their kind and forgiving consideration. Please convey my greetings and respect, and my kiss upon their hands." The author of these epistles, Said Nursî, has been in seclusion for twenty-two years. Because of his complete isolation, he cannot meet with people. He can only speak briefly with others when absolutely necessary. He has no books with him. All his writings say, "The source and basis of these one hundred and thirty pieces of epistles is only the Qur’an." We also confirm this with all our strength. He is ill, in exile, and in a distressed condition. He asked us to request that you, like other scholars, look at his writings with kind and forgiving eyes, because sometimes mistakes may be found in the epistles he writes very quickly. We convey his request and kiss your hands. From the disciples of Nur, Tahirî, Hayri, Mustafa, Sadık, Osman, Hüsrev, Tahir • • •

Second: Since the Risale-i Nur has served as a diamond sword in the hand of this great miracle and has compelled its defiant enemies to surrender, it has completely reversed the heart, the soul, and the feelings in a manner that reveals the treasures of the Qur'an and administers its remedies. It is the only source and channel, possessing a spiritual miracle, and it fully accomplishes this task. It has completely triumphed over the terrible propaganda and very defiant heretics directed against it. It has shattered the strongest and most powerful fortress of error, nature, piece by piece through the Risale-i Tabiat. And in the thickest, most suffocating, and widest circle of ignorance and in the broadest veils of science, it has brilliantly dispersed ignorance and revealed the light of unity through the Sixth Question of the Fruit of Musa and the First, Second, Third, and Eighth Proofs of the Sixth Question. The Sixth Question of the Risale-i Meyve Click on the Eleventh Ray to reach the Sixth Question.

This paragraph was written specifically for the Islamic communities of Cairo, Damascus, and India for those going to Ravza-i Mutahhara, the Mosque of al-Azhar, and the Islamic communities of Damascus and India. Exactly four Zülfikar and four Asâ-yı Mûsâ were written at the beginning, two copies each were sent to the scholars of Cairo's al-Azhar Mosque, the scholars of Damascus, and the group in India who requested Qur'ans in exchange for two million pounds.

It is the defense of Ceylân. To the Afyon Heavy Penal Court: While the court has proudly accepted my master and my service to the Risale-i Nur, depicting me as a great diplomat and a scheming man, and giving me a large share in the alleged crime against the Nurlar, I say in return: I am closely related to my master Bediüzzaman, from whose religious, faith-based, and moral works I have benefited to such an extent that I would unhesitatingly sacrifice my life for them. However, this relationship is not, as the court claims, harmful to the country and the nation, nor is it encouraging the people against the state. Rather, it is an unbreakable and unbreakable bond aimed at saving my faith and the faith of my religious brothers who, in this dangerous time, need to save their faith, correct their morals, and become useful members of the country and the nation. Even if no one else can save themselves from the eternal punishment of the grave, I am related to him in this way. I am one of his close ones. For about four years, I have occasionally served him with sincerity. During this period, I have witnessed nothing else but his virtues. I never heard even a single word from his mouth regarding his Mahdihood or his renewal. The hundreds of thousands of Nur copies and the hundreds of thousands of pure Nur disciples who have saved their faith by reading them are witnesses to the fact that he is in the highest degree of humility.

It is quite secret. Last winter, when the plots against me, which were thwarted by Divine Providence and through your prayers and my patience and endurance, were very extensive, the president of Afyon recently said: "We thought there would be some confusion in this province in religious matters." So, the secret committee wanted to pressure me to create an incident. Because of these violations and hardships, which were inflicted upon me in a completely illegal and arbitrary manner, for the sake of foreign interference and against Muslims and the homeland, they will bring us worldly harm, and in the hereafter, Hell and disgrace; and for us, worldly perfect good deeds and victory, and in the hereafter, if God wills, Paradise and the water of Kavser. Indeed, the secret plan was sensed by the Council of Deputies and the President, for here, the general officials, even the governor and the district chief, were avoiding and fearing to meet with me. I was also surprised. However, those with a little sense understood that we had only Nur and no political ball. It is strange that some officials, who should work most for my benefit, were instead used against me. The followers of Nur must be very cautious, attentive, and vigilant. Because there are spiritual storms; some hidden hypocrites are everywhere. While pretending to be against absolute tyranny like atheists, they join the freedom party, so as to corrupt them and discover their secrets and expose them. Also, regarding the matter of Salahaddin giving the Sword of Moses to an American: Missionaries and Christian clergy, as well as the followers of Nur, must be very careful. Because the northern current, which is likely to think of defending itself against the attacks of Islam and the Christian religion, will try to break the alliance between Islam and missionaries. The common people, being tolerant, and due to the obligation of zakat and the respect of interest, may deceive Muslims by inviting the bourgeoisie to the help of the common people and to relieve them from oppression, giving them some advantage and drawing a part of them to their side. Anyway, this time I have broken my rule for your sake and looked at the world. Said Nursi

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: I received fifty banknotes from the publishers of one hundred copies of Asa-i Musa from the Guide and gave them to them from my own copies. I sent you in place of the remaining sixty banknotes from the last price of Asa-i Musa that you sent me. You can send twenty to thirty of them to the Medresetü'z-Zehra and to places like Denizli, Milas, Burdur, Antalya, Aydın, and İzmir in the amount you have distributed. The real and important price of this is that the person who receives it at least teaches it to ten people. Because the number of copies is small. Second: I liked your defense in the court, it is good. It is good to delay until the 22nd of Teşrin. Anyway, the part they have is shares of official people in one aspect, let them read. Even if they don't read, the fact that they are located in their offices nearby and that they are occupied with their real duties, they are taking spiritual lessons, don't worry at all. The development and discoveries of the Lights are increasing, and they are including many official people. A kind of anxiety has fallen upon the official officials, they are looking for them. When they find them, they kiss their hands even though they have been beaten. Third: The letters from the heroes of small Isparta, Küçük İbrahim and Salih, made me extremely happy. A thousand praises to Allah! Our two brothers, in addition to visiting our important brothers in that region and writing about their health and safety, also wrote that places like Ordu, Sinop, Gerze, Ayancık, Bartın, Zonguldak on the Black Sea coast are adorned with Lights, and that Nurcü preachers in Üsküdar side of Istanbul are working for Nur. We received a beautiful letter from a new brother of ours who is very eager for Nur, has made a serious commitment to work for Nur, and is engaged in important trade from Gerze. We greet Ibrahim and Salih and that person with our warm greetings and pray for their success. Fourth: Our active brother, the imam of Alamescid, Ibrahim Edhem, found the preacher Ali Senturk and the preacher Osman Nuri as true Nurcü in his own system. They have been accepted into the circle of sincere and selfless and determined students in the service of Nur, as desired in their sincere and selfless and determined letters. May Allah

Dear, sincere brother Refet Bey; for the honor of the Holy Qur’an, for the sake of your love for the Qur’an, and for the honor of your twenty years of service to faith with the Lights, give up and refrain from quarreling with each other and from causing enmity, which is like lighting fire to gunpowder, and which is a great help to the hidden hypocrites who are secretly trying to destroy us, and who are small in appearance but very dangerous and cruel in their nature. Otherwise, it is very likely that even a small personal right will cause great damage to us, to the service of the Qur’an, and to faith. I assure you with my soul that even if one of you were to insult me greatly and completely trample on my dignity, yet if he does not abandon the service of the Qur’an, of faith, and of the Lights, I would forgive him, reconcile with him, and try not to be angry. Since you know that our enemies are trying to take advantage of a petty quarrel, quickly make peace. Give up senseless and very harmful enmity. Otherwise, some of us, like Semsi, Shefik, and Tevfik, may be drawn to the adversaries and cause great damage and a serious defect to our service of faith. Since the Divine Providence has so far given much more than the loss in that system, I hope Allah will again come to our aid. Said Nursî • • • Dear, sincere brothers; the Director has greatly appreciated the "Ayat al-Kabir" and the "Guide." Now he wants the "Asa al-Musa" and the "Zulfiqar." I have also promised, "I will bring it to you." If they are available here in Afyon, order one "Asa al-Musa," one large and bound "Zulfiqar," one "Guide," and one "Ayat al-Kabir." Said Nursî • • •

I received a letter stating that on behalf of our dear brothers from İnebolu, Nazif Çelebi sent Eid greetings, and that Zülfikar continued his service with great attention, importance, and caution, and completed the "Mu'cizât-ı Kur'âniye" and also completed a part of its copies. Additionally, it stated that Abdurrahman Salâhaddin, who taught the "Asâ-yı Mûsâ" and "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye" to American missionaries for four or five months, gifted and sent these works to the Câmiü'l-Ezher on our behalf through a reliable means. It also mentioned that an important Nur student, Ahmed Kureyşî, gave one hundred banknotes at the expense of their machine. To our brave brother Nazif, and to the very serious and persevering and fully committed İnebolu Nur adherents, and to Ahmed-i Kureyşî and his companions, we heartily and sincerely congratulate them on their Eid, their continuous service, their great loyalty, Zülfikar's printing and success, and Salâhaddin's efforts to establish relations with Câmiü'l-Ezher and Medresetü'z-Zehra. May Allah make them successful. Ameen. And may He accept their services completely. Ameen. • • •

In the Twenty-Ninth Letter of Risale-i Nur, the wisdom behind the mixed presence of writings such as "Hücumat-ı Sitte" and its Zeyli, "İşârât-ı Seb'a", and "Telvîhat-ı Tis'a" with the Kur'anic symbols and the Nuri similarities, was to serve as a means for the courts and the learned people to remain silent and not hold us responsible for them. As if those symbols, those deep and subtle matters, said to them in a language of gestures: "Be reasonable, do not associate with those who have worked so deeply into the mysteries of the Qur'an." Now, however, that mixed situation is no longer appropriate. Because only one out of twenty of them needs and understands those symbols and similarities, while nineteen out of twenty can need and understand the other writings within. The Nur disciples here are saying: "Our Denizli brothers looked at our miraculous Qur'an for three years. If they allow it, we will look at it for three months. And from here we will communicate with Istanbul and take photographs to work on the printing of the Nur Party, the Qur'anic Party, etc." Tell our friend and brother who asked through the American Ambassador in Istanbul to send Zülfikar and an Asa-i Musa to the Muslim delegation in America that the ambassador's mind is occupied with politics and since Risale-i Nur has no connection with politics, a political mind cannot quickly appreciate it. Moreover, Risale-i Nur does not seek customers; rather, customers should seek it and implore it. America, which eagerly follows even the smallest events here, will certainly seek out Risale-i Nur, the greatest event here. From now on, in every matter, the command will be from the devoted disciples of Risale-i Nur who represent its spiritual person and from you. I also have my own opinion now. Greetings to all my brothers, and I pray for their safety and ask for their prayers. Your brother who sends thousands of greetings and prays for their well-being... • • •

Again, when Ahmed Feyzi attributes a part of the excellence of Risale-i Nur to his own teacher and says that this time is a means of guidance, he is taking responsibility for it. However, everyone praises and eulogizes a person they love in an exaggerated and excessive manner, which is not wrong even by custom, tradition, or knowledge, yet it has no relation at all. Error 57: In this way, strange claims may lead to a state of suspicion about one's prophethood. Response: I say by God that this is an accusation, attribution, and error. These attributions, which no one would ever think of and which cannot deceive anyone who knows us, certainly have no meaning outside of law, politics, and administration, and they are nothing more than the false accusations that even Satan could not make anyone believe. Error 58: In the "Elderly" treatise, some writings such as "The Seventh Request" were seen as actions and in nature encouraging the people against the state, and a verdict of guilt was given in the Eskişehir Court. Response: This is also an obvious mistake. The Seventh Request and the Elderly treatise did not cause the accusation and breach of security; rather, they may have saved me from oppression in many ways. The light punishment given in Eskişehir was based on a conscientious opinion and was related to an issue in the Treatise on Modesty. Such errors occur due to the negligence and superficiality of the accusers. Error 59: Hüseyin Altınbaşak wrote periodicals such as Asâ-yı Mûsâ and Zülfikar using Arabic letters, which is contrary to the Turkish Alphabet Law. Response: So far, the Arabic script and calligraphy have been considered the old script of the Turkish nation. Therefore, blaming Hüseyin Altınbaşak, who wrote Asâ-yı Mûsâ using the Arabic script while calling Latin letters Turkish letters, is wrong in several ways, and people of fairness understand this.

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: With all our soul and life, we congratulate you on the Night of Bara'at. Second: It is very good and very beautiful that an important commander and publisher of Nur, Re'fet Bey, is going to Istanbul for the service of Nur. Indeed, someone like him is needed there. May Allah make it successful. Amen. Third: I have prepared three Asas al-Musa and three Zülfikar, two of which are for the scholars of Al-Azhar Mosque, two for the scholars around the sacred garden of the Holy Medina, and two for the esteemed religious authority of Damascus. A letter addressed to you previously for the scholars of Al-Azhar is included at the beginning. We will send them as soon as possible, insha'Allah. Fourth: I have a strong need for your spiritual services and prayers, and for your support in the spiritual gains that I cannot achieve in my place. First reason: I have never felt the current weakness and the increasing frailty throughout my life. Despite many difficulties, I can manage my affairs, even if they are somewhat incomplete. However, I need to work a hundred times more during these blessed days and nights. While I should contribute to your spiritual company and join your prayers with a thousand times more sincerity, my lack of strength can only offer a very small help to that spiritual company. The solution is that, just as your duties in the Nur Service have been entrusted to you, I ask for divine mercy to work according to your good opinion of this weak brother, relying on your spiritual support and going far beyond my capacity and ability in that company. Second reason: Some people, both from you and from others, mistakenly attribute the extraordinary states and results that emerge from the essence of the Risale-i Nur and the spiritual character of its disciples to this poor brother of mine. Therefore, a great power and endurance are needed to face those great results. My very limited and personal efforts, along with this illness and weakness, certainly make me very dependent on your spiritual help. I also urge you to bring your spiritual support to me.

Fifth: I wrote this essay hurriedly, relying only on the first draft, while my condition was in disarray in several respects and my body was shaken by some illnesses. Since I felt that the time and will to write were not entirely mine, and since I did not consider it appropriate to revise or improve it according to my own opinion, it took a somewhat chaotic form. Moreover, it contains many Arabic stories. Indeed, the First Station was entirely in Arabic, so it was removed from the text and written separately. Despite these five causes of error and disorder, this essay has such importance that Imam Ali (r.a.) gave it the names "Ayat al-Kubra" and "Asa al-Musa" in his spiritual miracles. Among the essays of Risale-i Nur, this one has been given special attention and has drawn particular attention. FOOTNOTE: This essay, which is a true interpretation of the Ayat al-Kubra, is the seventh light according to the terminology of Hazret-i Imam (r.a.), named "Asa al-Musa." This seventh light consists of an introduction and two stations. The introduction discusses four important issues, the First Station contains the Arabic part of the interpretation of the Ayat al-Kubra, and the Second Station explains its proofs, translation, and meaning. Although this introduction was written more than necessary, it became somewhat lengthy involuntarily. Therefore, it was written out of necessity. Perhaps some people will consider this length to be excessive. Said Nursî • • •

Beloved, sincere brothers; I refer an important matter to the authorities of Medresetü'z-Zehra. Sayyid Salih said, "During my travels in Arabia, I realized that there is a great need and benefit for 'Asa-i Musa there. Therefore, it seems necessary to translate it into Arabic." Since my condition and illness do not permit me to do so, I request the authorities of Medresetü'z-Zehra to arrange for a beautiful and accurate translation into Arabic in four places. One letter should be sent to Câmiü'l-Ezher through Emirdaglu Kılıç Ali, so that a few learned individuals there can translate it. Another letter should be sent to Ankara's Religious Affairs Directorate, so that one or two scholars who highly respect and are interested in the Risale-i Nur can translate it into Arabic. One should be addressed to my brother, Abdülmecid, the Mufti of Urgup in the district of Kayseri, so that he can translate it into Arabic with all his strength, as for twenty years he did not serve the Nur with all his strength as he should have. One should also be sent to the scholars in the Nur Directorate in Isparta, so that they can translate 'Asa-i Musa in parts, each one translating a portion. • • •

It is a defense of Tahirî. I am being brought to the Afyon Ağırceza Court, accused together with my master Bediüzzaman Said Nursî and other friends, based on the article "inciting the people to actions that will disrupt the state's security by using religious feelings as a tool," which was notified to me by the Afyon Chief Prosecution Office. I have answered all the questions asked in both the Isparta Peace Court and the Afyon Inquiry Office truthfully. The Denizli Court, which acquitted us, returned all our books to us. It did not punish us for reading and writing the Risales of my master Bediüzzaman or for corresponding with my fellow students who are his disciples. Indeed, six years ago, without my master's permission, I had 500 copies of Bediüzzaman's Yedinci Şuâ book printed in Istanbul using my own old handwriting and funds. The Denizli Court, with its decision dated 20.7.1945, fully trusted me and delivered them to me, and they were distributed to the Nur students at the cost of printing. Therefore, relying on the ruling of this high court, which was confirmed by the High Court of Cassation, two years ago I brought a printing press and paper from Istanbul to Isparta. Two of the three collections you have in your possession were written by my brother Hüsnü Altınbaşak, and one was written by me. First, we printed the collection Zülfikar: Mu'cizât-ı Kur'âniye ve Ahmediye. We sold it partially. With the money we earned, I bought and brought the paper for the collection Asâ-yı Mûsâ. Then we printed the Asâ-yı Mûsâ collection and sold it as well.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. By Him, the Exalted. Some people came to Ankara under the pretense of wanting to obtain the general Nur Publications, citing Asa-i Musa and the Youth Guide as an excuse. When that brother of ours showed them the acquittal decision of the Heavy Penal Court regarding Asa-i Musa, they gave up on taking Asa-i Musa. They had placed several Youth Guide books in front of their eyes to take away, but unknowingly placed some other books on top of them. While leaving, they searched as much as they could for the Youth Guide but could not find it. In this way, the Youth Guide protected itself through its own honor. They returned to the police and got back one collection and some writings, except for Asa-i Musa and the Youth Guide. 3 The Everlasting is the Everlasting. Said Nursi • • •

Beloved, sincere brothers and blessed heirs and trustworthy agents of mine; First: I inform you definitely that, regarding us and the service of Risale-i Nur, the divine care and the success of the Eternal continue. Under the apparent ugly curtains, there are very good results. For every harm we suffer, a hundred benefits are bestowed upon us. Therefore, it is necessary not to pay attention to temporary and temporary hardships and shocks. Second: Do not delay or be hesitant in writing the collection of Asa-yi Musa as much as possible. That sacred first duty has great importance. Imam Ali (r.a.) said about it: "And with it the darkness was removed." I have corrected and sent to you by post the two blessed treatises of the fourteen parts of Ali. Here, they worked me and the students with great enthusiasm. Just as they helped me in Kastamonu, these two heroes have again come to my aid here. Third: Although I am here suffering a lot, when I think of your diligent work without delay and see your kind and comforting letters that you eagerly await, these sufferings disappear and sometimes turn into joy. The one who writes my letters cannot come to me for now; but apart from personal service, he has three or four duties related to Risale-i Nur. He does them perfectly. Also, he comes to the door, understands my personal matters, leaves, and does them as well. Fourth: Have our brothers in other places started writing Asa-yi Musa? Those who have previously done this first duty and are present with them should collect one volume and start preparing the second religious duty, the miracles, along with their explanations. Or they should help the remaining ones. They should be written as well and corrected as much as possible. Fifth: There are many signs that after the scholars, the teachers have begun to feel the need for the treatise. One sign is that in Istanbul, they asked for the treatise "Ayat al-Kubra" with the intention of reading it at a religious conference. Brother Refet, you have also come a long way, and your work on writing Risale-i Nur has genuinely made me happy. Like Hulusi and Sabri, your questions

Since the original of Celcelûtiye is revelation and esoteric, and it looks to the future and gives news about hidden and future matters. And since this century is terrible according to the Qur'an, and according to the Qur'anic calculation, the Risale-i Nur is an important event in this dark century. And since the Risale-i Nur has entered into Celcelûtiye with many signs and indications up to the degree of certainty, and has settled in the most important place. And since the Risale-i Nur and its remedies are worthy of this position, and they have the qualifications and value to be considered by the glance, approval, and notification of Hazret-i Imam Ali (r.a.). And since after Hazret-i Imam Ali (r.a.) clearly informed about Siracü'n-Nur, and in a second-degree veiled manner, after the Words, the Letters, and then the Lem'as, the same order, the same rank, the same platform, with strong signs, the speech has been proven to be in accordance with Hazret-i Imam Ali's (r.a.) indication.

And since the signs and indications present in a single issue, due to the unity of the issue, strengthen each other, and even a weak relationship becomes a manifestation that is attached to the source.

Because the service of the Light helps both the livelihood and the comfort of the heart, and due to its nature of contemplative worship, it greatly contributes to the blessings of the blessed months. Secondly: One of the disciples of Nur told me: "Last year, before the Lights were fully entrusted to us and in the result of a specific return, you said here with a special manifestation of mercy that 'When the Lights are read and written freely and returned to us, rain and mercy will be complete.' You gave this news.

Beloved, faithful brothers; First of all: With all our soul and spirit, we ask for the mercy of the Almighty that we may congratulate you on the blessed and fruitful and miraculous and rainy Mirac-ı Şerif and be honored with its examples. And this year, just as last year, the rain coming in an unprecedented manner before and during the Mirac night and continuing throughout the Mirac night and day, is not only a sign that the universe and the elements are applauding this blessed night, but also our conviction is firm that it is an indication of the conquests of Zülfikar and Asâ-yı Mûsâ—especially in official circles. And the sudden disappearance of a severe discomfort and pain, which was to some extent an obstacle to work, up to the middle of this blessed night, convinced me that the prayers of my brothers for my health and well-being were accepted and that for a part of that night, each hour was as meritorious as ten hours. I took this as a kind of spiritual message and thanked Allah. I said, "Mercy upon the merciful, infinite thanks." Secondly: There is no doubt that our brother Re'fet Bey, a commander of the Light, has rendered a great service to the Lights in a short time through his journey to Ankara. God willing, its results will soon be seen. Especially the fact that the officials of the Presidency of Religious Affairs generally appreciate and praise the Zülfikar and Asâ-yı Mûsâ collections, and promise not to criticize but perhaps to support and defend them, is a very important event and a bright announcement for Zülfikar and Asâ-yı Mûsâ.

Yesterday, it also arrived from Emirdağ. "Quickly bring it to me," I said. I waited, but it did not come. That joy turned into anger.

The Risale-i Nur demonstrates the Oneness of God and the Unity of Being in the highest degree, with the most profound and absolute certainty, satisfying the highest spiritual needs and elevating faith from mere belief to the highest level of certainty. In Asa-yi Musa, this lofty and sacred lesson of faith is presented in the most brilliant manner and is proven with an unprecedented grandeur, making it almost the summary of the 130-volume Risale-i Nur tafsir (exegesis). The greatest mission of all heavenly books and all prophets is to proclaim the divinity and oneness of the Creator of the universe. The Qur'an, from beginning to end, demonstrates the Unity of God. Thus, Asa-yi Musa, by showing the unity of God and the proofs of His oneness as clearly as the sun, compels the most profound thinker, the most religious person, and the most philosopher to affirm the truths of faith. It also ensures that even the most ordinary person can understand the highest truths with the greatest ease, making it the most sacred tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'anic verses that demonstrate the Unity of God. Its name is indeed fitting. Just as Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) caused the water of life to gush forth from black stones, barren valleys, and fiery deserts with his staff, so too does Asa-yi Musa, by proving the oneness of God, cause the lights of Unity to gush forth into the worlds of this life and the hereafter. It melts hearts as hard as stone like wax and reveals the hearts with its inspiration. Since the courts have given their verdicts and conscience is free, and in no country are those who pursue knowledge persecuted; therefore, the Risale-i Nur, which encompasses both the early and later sciences, must also be free from persecution.

And since Hazrat-i Imam Ali (r.a.) first clearly informed about the Siracü'n-Nur, and then in a second-degree veiled manner, after the Words, from the Letters, then from the Lem'as, in the same order, the same rank, and on the same platform, with the strong signs of the powerful karin, he has proven the delâlet and the indication of Hazrat-i Imam Ali (r.a.). And since, at the beginning, 1 I began with Bismillah, the spirit of which guided me to the unveiling of secrets hidden in its inner meaning, as in the beginning of the treatises and the first Word, the Bismillah Treatise, so too at the end of the grand comprehensive section, the last Lem'as and Şuâs of the treatises, especially the wonderful 29th Lem'a of the Arabs, which is a great verse of unity, and the treatise of the six names and the treatise of the letters of the Qur'an, and especially the last Şuâ and the Asâ of Mûsâ, which is a treatise possessing the power to cancel all spiritual enchantments and is called in a sense the Ayetü'l-Kübra, there appears an expression style similar to looking at this miraculous treatise. And since the signs and karin present in a single issue, due to the unity of the subject, reinforce each other, and even a weak connection leads to a manifestation that is attributed to the source. Certainly, based on these seven principles, we say: Hazrat-i Imam Ali (r.a.) has indicated the order of the famous Words and looked at some parts of the Mektubat and the most important Lem'as. Similarly, with the phrase "And with Your best names, save me from dispersion," he looks at the 30th Lem'a, that is, the Esmâ-i Sitte Treatise, which is the last of the independent Lem'as. And with the words "Letters for Bahram have risen and stood tall," he also assigns and confirms with a sign the Treatise of the Letters of the Qur'an, which follows the 30th Lem'a.

Now, in the past, in an entire country, there might have been only one absolute disbeliever, but now in a single town, there can be a hundred. In the past, those who deviated into error through knowledge and science, and who defiantly opposed the truths of faith with stubbornness and rebellion, were relatively fewer, but now this has increased a hundredfold. These rebellious and stubborn individuals, with their Pharaoh-like pride and their terrible deviations, oppose the truths of faith. Therefore, certainly, a sacred truth like an atomic bomb is needed in this world to shatter their foundations piece by piece, to stop their aggressions, and to bring some of them to faith. Indeed, let infinite thanks be to Allah, that at this very time, the Nur Collection, which is a spiritual miracle and a remedy for the wound of this age, is breaking the most violent rebels and the most defiant ones with the diamond sword of the Qur’an. And the universe, with its countless particles, is presenting proofs and evidence of the oneness of God and the truths of faith, which for twenty-five years have not been defeated by the fiercest attacks, but have remained victorious and continue to do so. Yes, in the Risale-i Nur, the balances between faith and disbelief, and the comparisons between guidance and deviation, clearly demonstrate these mentioned truths. For example, if one carefully examines the proofs and arguments in the two sections of the Twenty-Second Word, the first section of the Thirty-Second Word, the windows of the Thirty-Third Letter, and the eleven proofs of the Asa-yi Musa, and compares them with other similar arguments, it becomes clear that the sacred truth of the Qur’an, which shatters and breaks the absolute disbelief and the stubborn deviations of this age, is revealed in the Risale-i Nur. God willing, just as in the Collection of Charms, the important spiritual charms and the mysteries of the universe's wonders are gathered in that collection, similarly, the parts of the Nur Collection that show the hell of this world for the people of deviation and the paradisiacal pleasures of this world for the people of guidance, and that show that faith is the spiritual core of Paradise and disbelief is the seed of the tree of Hell's Zaqqum, will be written in a short form as a small collection and published, God willing.

Here, O my arrogant self, you are that traveler. This world is a desert. Your weakness and poverty are boundless. Your enemies and needs are endless. Since it is so, take the name of the Everlasting Lord and the Eternal Sovereign of this desert, so that you may be freed from the beggary of the entire universe and from trembling before every event. Yes, this word is such a blessed treasure that your endless weakness and poverty, when wrapped in infinite power and mercy, become the most acceptable intercessor at the court of the Almighty and Merciful. Yes, the one who acts with this word is like the one who joins the army, acts in the name of the state, and has no fear of anyone. For the sake of law and state, he says, "I will do every task, and I will stand firm against everything." We said at the beginning: All beings speak with the language of their existence, "In the name of Allah." Is that so? Yes. Just as you see, one man comes, forcefully moves the entire city's population to a place, and forces them to work. You certainly know that this man does not act in his own name or with his own strength. Perhaps he is a soldier acting in the name of the state, relying on the power of a sultan. Similarly, everything moves in the name of Allah, the Almighty. Just as tiny seeds and kernels carry great trees on their heads and lift mountain-like loads. So, every tree says, "In the name of Allah," filling its hands with fruits of mercy and serving us as a table. Every garden says, "In the name of Allah," becoming a cauldron in the kitchen of power, in which many different, various, and delicious foods are cooked together. Every blessed animal, such as a cow, camel, sheep, and goat, says, "In the name of Allah," becoming a source of milk from the bounty of mercy. They offer us the most delicate and refined nourishment, like the water of life, in the name of the Sustainer. Every plant, tree, and the soft, silk-like roots and veins of grasses say, "In the name of Allah," piercing and passing through hard stone and soil. "In the name of Allah, in the name of the Most Merciful," they say; everything becomes obedient to them.

Beloved, faithful brothers; First of all: I congratulate you. And this time, Husrev's letter written to the ministers is a very excellent historical document. However, a day or two ago, in a telegram we received from Sungur, an order was given to return 185 works. We could not understand this strange sentence. We asked the manager at the telegraph office. The clerk had received it incorrectly. I heard it myself from the machine, it said, "And the return of all the works." We remembered that perhaps some of the 130 treatises were combined into individual treatises, making a total of 185, and we thought that might be the case. But we still could not understand. Also, as the newspaper Yeni Sabah wrote, the Medresetü'z-Zehra, now called the Eastern University, is being established as a major Islamic Institute, and the President said, "They will strive to accomplish all the difficulties." We have heard that they will try to do so. God willing, an important goal we have pursued for forty years will be achieved for the benefit of the homeland and the nation. Secondly: From the ones you sent, I sent a few important ones to important places from the three who were in prison like us, Zülfikar and Asâ-yı Mûsâ. In particular, the mosque imam of Cezire, Vastanlı Abdurrahim, is one of my former students who came here. I gave him ten important books. However, I remembered that in Zülfikar's Mu'cizât-ı Kur'âniye Dördüncü Zeylin, in two places—one in the eighth line and one in the twelfth line—"lâ" was written instead of "lâm." Whereas "lâm" occurs thirty thousand times in the Qur'an, and "lâ" occurs nineteen thousand times. This error has been partially corrected in other copies. However, it has not been corrected in the Zülfikar copies that remained with your court. I also forgot to mention it here. You can write to the imam Abdurrahim through the mufti of Cezire to correct this error in the manuscript. So that the Medresetü'z-Zehra's members can have a connection with Cezire through this means, I entrust this to you. Also, this time I realized that Husrev mistakenly sent the envelope that Zubeyir was supposed to send to Nazif in his letter. Husrev also made a small mistake. Because it was not the Twenty-Fourth Letter, but a short letter regarding the Tenth Original of the Twenty-Fourth Statement to Nazif. The copy is here.

After knowing these points and matters; listen with a broad, thoughtful, and meticulous mind: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), despite his illiteracy, lack of apparent power, absence of authority, and inclination towards sovereignty, undertook very difficult and lofty endeavors with great success over the ignorant masses; he overcame the prevailing ignorance and superstition, and the very deep-rooted, persistent, widespread, and beloved customs and savage morals, by establishing noble morals on a very firm foundation, as if they were ingrained in their flesh and bones. Alongside this, he revealed the hidden savagery of a savage people, awakened their refined sensibilities, indicated high civilization, and expressed the essence of humanity. In a long time, he brought humanity to the state of civilization, and in a short time, he established a magnificent state, both materially and spiritually, in the East and the West. This state, like a fierce fire, or perhaps a bright light, or like the staff of Moses, brought other states to the point of destruction and annihilation. Thus, he demonstrated his truthfulness, prophethood, and connection with the truth to those whose insight was not blind. • • •

The Risale-i Nur possesses an extraordinary literary excellence. It has a high eloquence, clarity, and eloquence and excellence that cannot be compared even with the most famous works and has its own unique characteristics. Indeed, when the collection of Asâ-yı Mûsâ, which Bediüzzaman had written, was taken to great Islamic scholars in the Islamic world who were eager to translate it into Arabic, they read it and said: "Only Bediüzzaman himself can translate his works. We are unable to preserve the high eloquence and unmatched clarity and excellence in the Risale-i Nur in translation and to grasp his knowledge." In this way, those great scholars demonstrated the virtue of our Master and the perfections of the Risale-i Nur. Bediüzzaman, unlike almost all great authors and poets, has given more importance to meaning than to words in his works. He did not sacrifice meaning for words; rather, he sacrificed words for meaning. He did not consider the reader's enthusiasm in the style, but rather took truth and meaning as the basis. When making a garment for the body, he did not cut from the body, but from the garment. It is that Divine charm in the Risale-i Nur, which attracts the mind, heart, soul, and conscience and leads to the truth, that causes men and women, young and old, common and elite, to run toward that Light and become its wings. As a shining example of this truth, a large group of students has become, in a short time, a force that shakes the enemies of religion. To express the value and importance of the Risale-i Nur from a literary perspective, as it is from every other perspective, is far beyond the capacity of poets, especially us. Our humble, sincere, and truthful expressions, which are faint and limited like the steps of ants in this matter, are merely an expression of infinite gratitude and thanks for the great benefit we have received from the Risale-i Nur. Indeed, in these matters, only the author of the Risale-i Nur himself can be the qualified and specialized one.

It is a footnote to the defense. In this sense, you can write to the just Democrats. I am ill. Do as you see fit. In the letter we received from our lawyer a day before, in a style not conforming to any law, within thousands of words, a treatise, taking only one word as an excuse, making it a subject of accusation, and trying to prevent the spread of the Risale-i Nur by not giving that treatise, in the decision that the Court of Cassation completely overturned, we proved with absolute certainty that the decisions they cited against us were not actually against us, and that we proved the eighty-one errors and the bias in the error-and-fault table against the public prosecutor's indictment, yet now, with the same bias and the four-hundred-page Zülfikar treatise, a few lines of asceticism and inheritance rights, and based on the fact that a hundred thousand interpretations say the same meaning, they are making sentences written thirty or forty years ago into a subject of accusation, confiscating that collection and not giving it to us. Which law in the world allows this? Moreover, in Afyon's court, except for two pieces on the repetition of the Qur'an and on angels, all works were acquitted by both Denizli and Ankara High Criminal Courts for two years, as they found no subject of accusation and decided to return them to us. The same works were completely taken by Isparta's government for a while through confiscation, yet they were entirely returned to their owners. Later, Zülfikar and Asa-yi Musa were confiscated for four years on the excuse of being published without a license and in old script, yet in one hundred and seventy copies of the collection, they found no subject of accusation and returned them completely to us. And the most important accusation against us, which they presented, was our objection to some leaders of the old party on the grounds of truth. Now, religious publications and official journals have made the same objection a hundred times more, yet the Risale-i Nur, a secret part of which has proven a truth that determines the present time in the context of interpretation, said, "It is a dead sect." This is the truth.

I know that my works are not to everyone's taste. But the courage given by Sadi's words: "I have engraved the purpose of my work, which is to preserve the remnants of the past and the wisdom of the ancients, and to encourage the powerless like myself to step into the arena of honor by removing their shyness and providing an example of union, as well as the hope that even a small work from someone like myself, who is not a professional, might gain a kind of antique appeal, has given me the courage to write. Otherwise, I am not unaware that my works are sometimes excessive in truth, in composition, in style, in imagination, in emotion, and in exaggeration. However, what can I do? It could not have been otherwise. For, compressing a full century into a single year and rolling the centuries of the middle ages into the seventeenth century, and with the inspiration of July's blessed revolution, which stirred up the feelings and effects of each century and merged all the overlapping and intertwined periods and generations, and with the excitement of the March and May that compelled me to complete my work and present the "Testament of the Two Schools of Misfortune," and with the chaos born of tyranny's unjust pressure, and the memories of madness that were thrown out of the hospital by the doctor's slap from the door of the infirmary, and with the profession's diamond-like foundation that produced these two recipes, and with the lesson of the Islamic feeling's thread and the Kurdish identity thought, which is woven with Kurdishness, I have composed these works. Therefore, since each of my works is a fragment of several centuries and a sample of the most diverse and extremely varied characteristics of the Kurdish tribes, looking for true organization in them is a fable.

A letter from an Iranian Nur student to the Master Bediuzzaman "To the highly respected and virtuous Master Bediuzzaman, residing in the Barla district of Isparta, under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Turkey." To the highly respected, virtuous, and esteemed Master Bediuzzaman! First of all, I send my greetings and special respect, and I pray to the Almighty and Absolute Lord that your health and well-being may continue. If you kindly inquire about my condition, I am, praise be to God and thanks to Him, living in Dize village, Mergivar area, in the Rizaiye province of southern Iran.

Praise be to God, I have recently received news of your health through my esteemed brother, Captain Tayyip, an Iranian, and I am very pleased and reassured. May the Almighty, the Almighty, protect and keep you under His grace and care for the service and prosperity of the clear religion of Islam. Amen. Your valuable works, such as the First Gate of Nur, the Staff of Moses, Guide of the Youth, and many of your other books, have reached me through my esteemed brother, and I am very pleased. God willing, we will benefit from them. Since this is my first letter, I write it with some hesitation and care, and I pray to the Almighty for the continuation of your health and well-being. I hope to receive your letter of grace, and I pray for it from your noble presence. Your servant, the late Seyyid Abdulkadirzade, Seyyid Abdullah
