Âyetü’l-Kübrâ

I am stating an incident that again comes to my mind these days in relation to this matter. While I was reciting the word of tawhid thirty-three times at the end of the prayer beads, suddenly it occurred to my heart: In the noble hadith, it is said, "Sometimes an hour of contemplation is equivalent to a year of worship." 1 In the Risale-i Nur, that hour exists; work and find that hour, it was indicated. Almost involuntarily, a thoughtful reflection, extracted from the two treatises of the two Âyet-i Kübrâ, which are the two interpretations of the greatest verse of the Qur'an, lasted for a full hour. I looked and saw that it was a beautiful secret extracted from the summary of the First Station of the Âyetü'l-Kübrâ treatise I sent you, and it was emanating from the sweet, pleasant stories derived from the Twenty-Ninth Arabic Lemma. I began to read it with great delight and contemplation every day. After a few days, it occurred to me that since the Risale-i Nur is a guide for this time, I had written it as a great recitation for my students. And since all the treatises have their specific sources, their mines, of more than a thousand Qur'anic verses, I had previously marked them in my own Qur'an and intended to make a Great Hizb of the Qur'an. Now, this Great Hizb and this great recitation, the followers of the Risale-i Nur have the right to receive it on some blessed days. Insha'Allah, it will be sent to you at some time. If I find time to translate some of the words and explain some of the records, I will write something very short, like a brief commentary. With longing and yearning, thousands of greetings to all my brothers and to all my friends in the service of the Qur'an. Said Nursî • • •

Notice Since other treatises of Risaletü'n-Nur do not exist in the environment of this country, where this treatise was composed without any choice, and in treatises such as Âyetü'l-Kübrâ, some important issues of other Sayings and Lem'as have been mentioned in the form of repetition, and each of these has been written in such a way that for the students in those places, each one has the status of a small Risaletü'n-Nur. The first proofreading of this manuscript was done by a blessed person. When that person wrote the copy without knowing about the coincidence, we found a beautiful and meaningful coincidence worth noting: in that copy, the number of the letter "Alif (ا)" at the beginning of the lines was written as six hundred and sixty-six (666). This situation exactly corresponds to the numerical and alphabetical value of the name "Âyetü'l-Kübrâ," which was given to this special treatise by the Noble Imam Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and this shows the suitability of this treatise for this name. Also, the fact that the number of the verses of the Qur'an, which is six thousand six hundred and sixty-six (6666), coincides with three of its four levels, we believe this is an indication that this treatise is a Lem'a of the verses. Said Nursi

Beloved, sincere, steadfast, tireless, persevering, and self-sacrificing brothers; I do not think it necessary to encourage you against such fierce attacks. Your strong faith and your belief that every incident related to the Risale-i Nur contains a divine care and mercy is sufficient for your encouragement, we know. Yet, there is only one point I am curious about. Is the entire Risale-i Nur you have obtained only a set, and who is it, I want to understand. Whoever it is, let him not worry. In more important positions, they will achieve victories and earn rewards on his behalf. A set of Risale-i Nur can be provided for him. Also, is there anyone under custody? And who is the teacher assigned to him? Saniyen: With the decision given by Sabri and Hâfız Ali's opinion for establishing communication, we also accepted the method of communication through Atabey, just like them. Lütfi has a heir named Abdullah Çavuş, and the address will be sent accordingly. Salisen: Sabri's letter, in which he wrote with joy about the miraculousness of the Qur'an and the Risale-i Nur, made us very happy. Taking the remarkable and attractive "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'ân" written by Hasan Âtıf as the basis, we added other discussions about the points of the Qur'anic miracles to the other essays in the form of supplements; it turned out very well. For example, the Seventeenth Degree of the "Âyetü'lkübrâ" about the Qur'an, the Twentieth Word, and the last verse of the Surah Feth regarding its miracle, important parts from the Fihristen about the "Rumuzat-ı Semaniye," and two points from the Kenzü'l-Arş have been included in these supplements. Just like the supplements of the "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," they have shone brightly. The center of light, Sabri, will surely perfect that beautiful "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye" with them, insha'Allah. Rabian: The letter from Abdullah Çavuş, the true and very serious heir of the late Lütfi, showed his level of sincerity, devotion, and connection. I always used to mention both Abdullah of İslâmköy and this Abdullah Çavuş together in my prayers. Allah shows that he is worthy of that position. The final, revised part of the Fihristen will be sent to him, insha'Allah. However, it has not been revised as much as he might have thought. Because, the process

Beloved, sincere brothers; the printed copies of Âyetü’l-Kübrâ have been subjected to much scrutiny behind the curtain. At the end of the initial notice, we have sent you six lines in the form of a marginal note on a clean page; if you find it appropriate, you can print it and also revise and correct it. I am firmly convinced that: This time, I read Âyetü’l-Kübrâ carefully and with consideration of the opposing views. I have no doubt that the opponents, despite seeing our insignificant and trivial faults, which are as negligible as the wings of a fly, and despite the severe blows of the Risale-i Nur, have accepted our innocence and the freedom of the Risale-i Nur. The reason for this is that the miraculous and unshakable truths in the "Fruit" and "Hüccetü’l-Bâliğa" sections of the Risale-i Nur, beginning with Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, have broken their terrible stubbornness. They have officially accepted our innocence and the freedom of the Risale-i Nur out of a forced necessity. However, the secret committee of the zındıka, in order to save themselves as much as possible from the curse and hatred of the people, is searching for our faults and trying to undermine the government. Therefore, we should not abandon our caution as before. FOOTNOTE We heartily congratulate all our brothers on the coming blessed Ramadan and on the past nights of Berat. May Allah make this Ramadan's Laylat al-Kadhim (Night of Destiny) for them and us more beneficial than a thousand months and equivalent to a thousand months in terms of reward, and may He grant happiness and safety to the Ummah of Muhammad. Ameen. And I, your brother who sends greetings to each and every one of you, Said Nursî • • •

Until now, since the occurrence of that event, we have passed through a period of caution so that the conditions of the students from different strata here might not appear to have changed due to an important incident, and so as not to draw the attention of the hypocrites to ourselves and to you. Also, through the interpretations of the dreams of many individuals like Nazif, we understood that an event has occurred among you. We send our greetings and prayers to all our brothers one by one, and especially to those who have suffered misfortune. May Allah quickly rescue them and place them back in the positions of their duties. Ameen. Your brother, Said Nursî • • • This is a saying of Hafız Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), an important pillar of the Risale-i Nur. My beloved master, you said: "The greatest danger of this strange age is that the Risale-i Nur, which grants a decisive proof to the disciples who treat the wound of the infidels of the Last Days—those who will leave the world without faith—with the medicine of entering the grave with faith, using the miraculous language of the Qur'an—how can the service of weak individuals, with their limited and divine abilities, match this? Perhaps both are a divine gift." After stating this, just as the light of a lamp shines in the darkness of night and calls all the possessors of souls, even the smallest moths, from darkness to light with its eloquent speech, so too does the Risale-i Nur call those scholars and those of the spiritual path who have not been metaphorically executed by the sword of the Sharia and have not drowned and died in the darkness. This is a manifestation of His Name Rahîm. The first of the two memories: The narration of the hadith regarding elderly women and the eternal and certain influence we have always seen in the blessed hadith, brought joy to us and to many women who are greatly concerned. May Allah be forever pleased with you. Ameen.

SECOND WORD 1. Alone is He. A very brief indication of this proof is as follows: In this universe, unity and oneness appear in every aspect. For example, the universe is a regular city, a magnificent palace, a precious meaningful book, a physical and every verse, even every letter and every point of which is miraculous like the Qur'an, showing unity and oneness. Similarly, the lamp of that palace is one, the candle of the calendar is one, the cook of the fire is one, the sponge of the servant is one, the one of the one is one, and so on, showing as many as a thousand unities and onenesses. Thus, the owner, ruler, writer, and author of that palace, that city, that book, and that great physical Qur'an is certainly proven to be inherently existing, unique, and one. THIRD WORD 2. No partner has He. A very brief indication of this proof is as follows: The metal, master, and basis of the Great Sign of Light is the verse named "Âyetü’l-Kübrâ" (3. Say, "If there were deities with Him, as they claim, then surely they would have sought a way to the Throne." (until the end)). That is, "If there were partners and other fingers involved in creation and lordship, the order of the universe would have been disrupted." However, from the wing of the tiny fly and the tiny cells in the pupil of the eye, to the countless birds of the sky, to the solar system, the fact that every aspect, whether small or large, contains the most perfect order, clearly and certainly indicates the impossibility and non-existence of partners, and inherently testifies to the existence and oneness of the Necessary Being.

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.

Beloved, sincere, and blessed brothers; with all our soul and spirit, we congratulate and offer our best wishes for your blessed Ramadan, your Night of Power, and your festival. May the Most Merciful and Most Compassionate Allah elevate you with His blessings. Amen. Although I have suffered much pain and distress this Ramadan due to an illness, I am infinitely grateful to Allah for granting me patience and endurance. The illness also had the great benefit of removing the points of heedlessness caused by the suffering. Thanks to your prayers and blessings, I have this time completely recovered from that illness. However, the weakness and shock it caused still occasionally bring some discomfort. I had written to you that just as the Hizb-i Nuriye is a summary of the Risale-i Nur and the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ; similarly, in just ten minutes, the Hizb-i Nuriye's summary, this blessed Ramadan, and the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, which is a Ramadan treatise newly composed and disseminated during Ramadan, revealed thirty-three degrees of necessity and existence and the thirty-three universal manifestations of unity. The spirit, imagination, and heart developed such clarity and progress from that point that when I recited the testimony of faith "La ilaha illallah" for each of the thirty-three degrees, I felt a magnificent unity as if the universal tongue had become mine. Thus, I am convinced and have seen without doubt that the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ can instill the lights of faith into the hearts like the sun. I have understood the secret of the importance Imam Ali (r.a.) gave to it. This time, the letter written by the Risale-i Nur hero Hüseyin, inspired by the feelings of the Isparta students, although I have no right to it and it has given me more than my share, it fully demonstrates the deep connection of the brave students of Isparta and the true value of the Risale-i Nur. Therefore, it is appropriate to write about such matters in the more suitable places in my letters and lahikas. A copy of it is being sent to you in the new script. My beloved brothers in Kastamonu and the important ones among them, the connection between them and the Isparta students, Mustafa Osman, has indeed accomplished a very important task in a short time and has earned the right to be among the first rank of the sincere. Therefore, his sincerity is complete.

Beloved, sincere brothers; Before me, one of the government offices that used to be in the city hall, without anything being saved, burned for three hours like hell in the coldest part of the night with an amazing brightness we had never seen before. Right next to it, one of the diligent students of Risale-i Nur, along with his two brothers, had a large store that held the majority of the innocent Ceylan's capital. This store was separated from the fire site by only two small shops. As the terrible fire came toward the store with full force, poor Ceylan came to me and said, "We are burning, we are ruined." I had told him two days earlier to bring some printed copies of Âyetü’l-Kübrâ that were in his store to me, but he didn't bring them. So, it seems he had stayed there to put out the fire. I took Risale-i Nur and Âyetü’l-Kübrâ as intercessors and said, "O Lord, save us." For three hours, that terrible fire completely destroyed the entire large building. It burned and destroyed all the shops underneath and adjacent to it. However, the store that was under the protection of Risale-i Nur and Âyetü’l-Kübrâ was completely untouched, and the shop of the student underneath it also remained intact. The only damage was that the locals broke the windows. If the locals had not touched it and not taken their belongings, there would have been no damage at all. Indeed, the fire at the Isparta carpet bazaar, and the salvation of the two houses of the two brothers who had dedicated their mansions to the lessons of Risale-i Nur from that terrible fire, is a miracle of Risale-i Nur. Similarly, in Kastamonu, just like this Emirdağ fire, there, the house of Hafız Ahmed, a student of Risale-i Nur, was miraculously saved during a terrible fire that was connected to it. At the same time, his neighbor's house was on fire in the third floor, and miraculously, he saved both his precious jewels of diamonds and gold and his life through the blessings of Risale-i Nur. Likewise, in this fire, four people, who were diligent students of Risale-i Nur and from the diligent Ceylan family, three brothers and one other, were saved.

I consider those who greet you as if they have greeted me. Know and inform that I have personally visited you for the holiday. Secondly: The news we received about the iron stove breaking without cause, and we too, taking full precautions and caution based on that sign, the storm passed, the gunpowder did not ignite. Now again, the fact that my matara has been shattered into tiny pieces without cause in an extraordinary way, is informing us that we must once again take full caution, prudence, and precaution. I received a spiritual warning, and hidden hypocrites are trying to use prayerless, immoral people and apostate communists against the pious; indeed, they have even extended their fingers here. A Small Note: Yesterday, there was a sense of joy and happiness in my heart. Suddenly, I looked and saw that my brother in Nurs had sent me the honey of Nurs in a matara eight months ago to Emirdağ. 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. Because of the precious matara of honey that I had kept with me for about a hundred mataras, being given to wild hands and sent to the market, that matara suddenly broke. For forty-eight years, I had not tasted the honey of my village Nurs, which is a symbol of my family's honor. I sent a small amount so that each of my brothers could taste a piece of that sweet honey as a holiday treat. Said Nursî • • •

Beloved brothers; This Nuri Order has a very great spiritual excellence belonging to me personally. Now the time has come to declare it. Twenty-three years ago, when the old Said was transformed into the new Said, I searched for the secret of "a single hour of contemplation is better than a year of worship," because he had gone into the profession of contemplation. Every one or two years, that secret would manifest in a treatise, either in Arabic or Turkish, changing its form. From the Arabic Katre Treatise up to the Âyetü'l-Kübrâ Treatise, that truth continued, changing its forms until it entered the eternal form of the Nuri Order of Hizbü'l-Ekber. For twenty-three years now, whenever I have felt pressed and my mind and heart have become weary and tired, I have read a part of this order contemplatively, and that distress and weariness and fatigue have been dispelled. Indeed, without exception, every night, when I have felt tired and weary from four or five hours of preoccupation near dawn, reading one sixth of this order has removed all fatigue and weariness, and this has happened countless times. Because of this important truth, I am now stating a matter related to the people of the madrasa and the teachers at this time. Namely: Since ancient times, in most places, the madrasa faction has turned to the tekke faction, that is, they have shown initiative and sought the fruits of wilayat (sainthood) from them. They have searched for the limbs of faith and the aspects of truth in their shops. Even a great scholar of the madrasa would kiss the hand of a small dervish of the tekke and become his disciple. They have sought the spring of the water of life in the tekke. Yet the Risale-i Nur, with the spiritual miracle of the Qur'an, the Mu'jizat al-Bayan, has revealed and shown that within the madrasa there is a shorter path to the aspects of truth, a purer and more pure spring of the water of life in the sciences of faith, and that in the field of action, worship, and the path, there exists a higher, sweeter, and stronger path of wilayat knowledge in the truths of faith and in the science of kalam of the Ahl al-Sunna. It is now in the open. Therefore, it is necessary and essential that the scholars of the madrasa faction, more than anyone else, should eagerly and enthusiastically run to the Risale-i Nur with the utmost zeal and fervor. Unfortunately, the madrasa

Second: Here, the first revision of the Âyetü'l-Kübrâ, exactly one year after the first revision there, has a correspondence in the name of the Âyetü'l-Kübrâ. The coincidence of these two correspondences is an impossible coincidence, and the pen of the Almighty, like the sword Zülfikar, truly reflects and confirms the hidden signature in the correspondence of the thirty-three words of tawhid. Fourth: For three years now, I have been completely isolated from everything. Because of the unbearable pressure I have been under, I could not communicate with you. Here, an unprecedented misconception prevails. As much as possible, do not say that "Eşrâtü's-Sâat" was sent from here; perhaps say, "It is one of His works, which has come to us from another place." • • •

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.

Beloved Brothers! I have many thoughts and am very eager to speak with you, and during this cold winter I am concerned about your condition. While imagining meeting with you, a couple of points came to mind, and I am sharing them. First: At the end of the Nineteenth Word, the repetition of wisdoms in the Qur’an also occurs in the Epistles of Light. Especially the second wisdom is fully present. That wisdom is as follows: Everyone is in need of the Qur’an. But not everyone is able to read the entire Qur’an at all times. However, they are usually able to read a single surah. Therefore, the most important purposes of the Qur’an are generally included in the longer surahs, and each surah has become like a Qur’an in itself. Thus, in order not to deprive anyone, some important purposes such as resurrection, unity of God, and the story of Moses (peace be upon him) have been repeated. Exactly for this important wisdom, sometimes without my knowledge and without my choice or consent, subtle religious truths and strong proofs have been repeated in various epistles. I was very surprised. Why were these things made to be forgotten and rewritten again? Later, I came to know with certainty that: Everyone in this time needs the Epistles of Light. But they cannot obtain all of them. Even if they do, they cannot read them all. However, they can obtain a single epistle that has become like a comprehensive Epistle of Light. And in most cases, they can read the matters they need from it, and just as food is needed constantly, they can also reread it. Second point: At the end of the Arabic booklet named "Vird-i Ekber," which is derived from the Greatest Verse, if the Arabic sections explaining the interpretation of the verse at the beginning of the Epistle of Supplication are added and read together, it would be good. We have also written this in our copies.

And since, in the Seventh Light, the Great Ayat al-Kubra, they have demonstrated thirty-three great gatherings, each one as strong as a mountain, that this universe has come from one hand and is the property of a single Being. And they have clearly shown the unity and oneness of the Divine Perfections. And through unity and oneness, the entire universe becomes subject to the command of that Unique Being, as commanders and appointed officials. And with the coming of the Hereafter, they will be freed from the imperfection of the Divine Perfections, from the absolute justice being mocked, from the absolute power being belittled, from the general wisdom being treated as foolishness, from the universal mercy being despised, and from the majesty of power being reduced to weakness. They will thus become exalted. Certainly and indeed, and surely, with the faith in Allah, from a hundred points, the truths in these eight "since" statements will necessitate the Day of Judgment, the resurrection and the gathering, the opening of the place of punishment and reward, until the mentioned importance and centrality of the earth and the importance and value of man can be realized. And the justice, wisdom, mercy, and sovereignty of the Sovereign Allah, the Creator and Lord of the earth and man, can be realized. And the true and beloved servants of that Everlasting Lord will be freed from eternal damnation. And the greatest and most precious of those friends will see the reward of their sacred services that bring joy and gratitude to the entire universe. And the perfections of the Eternal Sultan will be free from defect and flaw, from power being reduced to weakness, from wisdom being treated as foolishness, and from justice being reduced to oppression. They will thus become exalted, elevated, and distinguished. In conclusion, since Allah exists, certainly the Hereafter exists. Just as the mentioned three pillars of faith, with all the evidence proving them, bear witness and testify to the resurrection. Similarly, And with His angels and with the decree, both good and evil, from Allah the Most High, the two pillars of faith also necessitate the resurrection and strongly bear witness and testify to the world of eternity.

While I was greatly affected by the harm caused by many accusers and to the Nurlar, a divine providence came to our aid. I began to read with great eagerness and attention those important treatises, which were hidden and needed by the people in power, and the great official institutions practically became a Nuri school. They began to appreciate with critical thinking. Indeed, in Denizli, without our knowledge, under extraordinary secrecy, many people, both official and unofficial, read the printed Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, strengthened their faith, and reduced our imprisonment to nothing. Then they took us to the Denizli prison. They put me in a small, damp, cold cell in complete isolation. While I was writhing in great sorrow due to old age, illness, and the sufferings of my innocent companions, and in great regret and distress from the suspension and cancellation of the Nurlar, suddenly a divine providence came to our aid. Suddenly, they turned that large prison into a Nuri school and proved it to be a Yusufi medrese (a.s.). The heroes of Medresetü’z-Zehrâ began to spread the Nurlar with their diamond-like pens. Indeed, in those difficult conditions, the hero of the Nurlar wrote more than twenty treatises from the Fruits and Defense series in three or four months. They began to make progress both inside and outside the prison. Our loss in that hardship turned into great benefits, and our sorrows into joy. 1 Perhaps you dislike something, yet it is good for you, it revealed the secret again. Then, based on the first group of knowledgeable people's erroneous and superficial records, they made strong criticisms against us, and together with the fierce attacks of the Minister of Education, they even issued a statement against us, and even tried to execute some of us with certain news. At that time, a divine providence came to our aid. While we were expecting the strong criticisms of the Ankara group of knowledgeable people, the appreciative reports, even though they found five or ten errors in five boxes of Nuri treatises, in court the points they indicated as errors and mistakes were found to be the truth, and the matters they called errors and mistakes were found to be their own errors.

Here is one of the eleven words of that Kelâm-ı Tevhid: FIRST WORD 1 "La ilaha illallah" (There is none worthy of worship except Allah). The evidence for this is the printed Risale-i Âyetü'lkübrâ. Because of the miraculous nature of this unparalleled evidence, Imam Ali (r.a.), while informing about the cures of Nur, said, 2 "And by the Greatest Sign, take me as a surety from the darkness," appointing the Âyetü'lkübrâ as a surety. During the Denizli imprisonment of the Nur disciples, this treatise, through its victories in both the Ankara and Denizli courts and its influential underground spread, caused the acquittal of his students. Likewise, its hidden printing, by becoming the cause of the nine-month suspensions of his disciples, clearly confirmed Imam Ali's (r.a.) supernatural miracles and the prayers of the Nur disciples. Indeed, the Âyetü'lkübrâ Shuai, by displaying thirty-three great and comprehensive proofs in the assembly of existence, and by indicating countless proofs in each comprehensive proof, beginning with the words of the heavens and stars; with the words and phrases of the earth, animals, and plants; and gradually until the entire universe, the words of the collection, the included, the existents, the occurrences, the possibilities, and the transformations, prove the existence and oneness of the Necessary of Existence in the brightness of the sun and the certainty of the day. Those who seek an unshakable faith and an unbreakable sword against godless anarchism should turn to the Âyetü'lkübrâ.

Under the influence of this event, when I had resolved with firm determination and effort to surrender myself to my innocent brothers with a willing heart, and was seeking a solution in thought, I read the poem Celcelûtiye. Suddenly, a memory came to me that Imam Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, had prayed, "O Lord, save me!" I hope that through the secret of that prayer you will reach safety. Yes, Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, as mentioned in two forms in the poem Celcelûtiye, just as the Risale-i Nur informs us, refers to the treatise "Ayat al-Kubra" with the words: "And by the Great Sign, save me from the calamity." This indication implies that a significant calamity will befall the students of the Risale-i Nur because of the Great Sign, and he prays, "Save your disciples from that calamity because of the Great Sign," and thus makes that treatise and its source a means of intercession. Indeed, the calamity that came under the pretext of printing the treatise "Ayat al-Kubra" exactly confirmed that hidden allusion. Moreover, in that poem, in the corresponding page of the summary of signs indicating the important remedies of the Risale-i Nur, it says: "And these are the letters of light; gather their specialities, and with them, the good is perfected." That is, "These are the words and letters of the Risale-i Nur, to which we have assigned signs. Gather their specialities and investigate their meanings. All goodness and success will be completed through them." The phrase "investigate the meanings of the letters" does not refer to the consonant letters that do not express meaning, but perhaps the treatises themselves are meant under the name of "words." 2. Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. None knows the unseen except Allah. Said Nursi • • •

Beloved, sincere, and pure brothers; praise be to the Merciful Lord that He has made people like you the possessors, announcers, and protectors of the Risale-i Nur, thus greatly lightening the heavy burden from the weak shoulders of an incompetent and helpless person like myself. My brothers, this time in your three letters, I saw nine precious brothers, three Hulusis, three Sabris, and three Hakks. I learned that Hakkı, who mended my clothes in the prison instead of Abdurrahman's father, has advanced much further in his serious and truthful sincerity and devotion than I had imagined, and I was very pleased. Brother Sabri, you are not paying attention to the heavy records that surround and bind me. But in fact, the worldly people here are very much occupied with and concerned about me. Even... even... even... Well... Also, the great honor and high status given to me, far beyond my worth, can only be accepted in the name of the Risale-i Nur, for its service, and for the sake of the brilliance of the Koran's gems. Otherwise, I have no right to accept such honor based on my rare and insignificant self. When you find it appropriate, please send me the essay Âyetü'l-Kübrâ written by the esteemed and industrious Hafız Tevfik, who holds and has settled an important place in both the Risale-i Nur and our memories. My eyes, which have joyfully read your writings for nine years, long to see those writings with longing. Beloved brothers like precious Hulusi and Hakkı; as Hakkı said, Sabri's letters have been accepted as if they were written by them, and communication with Hulusi has not ceased but continues. Praise and thanks be to the Merciful Lord that the Risale-i Nur continues to make ever more brilliant and miraculous spiritual discoveries. On its own, may Allah build it so that it settles in the hearts of all who see it and silences its deniers. It has bewildered its enemies under a hidden protection; their blind eyes cannot see it, yet they observe its brilliant activities even though they cannot find its trail. At this time, great caution is necessary. • • •

SECOND REMIZ The treatise called "Yedinci Şuâ" (The Seventh Ray), which reveals the great reality and the greatest interpretation of the great verse of the Qur'an, "تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰوَتُ السَّبْعُ وَاْلاَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَاِنْ مِنْ شَىْءٍ اِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ" (The seven heavens and the earth and whoever is in them glorify Him; there is nothing that does not exalt Him with praise), and is a divine gift of the sacred month of Ramadan, is mentioned by the Noble Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in his letters after referring to "Mektubat" and while looking at the "Lem'alar", saying "وَبِاْلاٰيَةِ الْكُبْرٰى اَمِنِّى مِنَ الْفَجَتْ" (And by the greatest sign, I am safe from the morning). He refers to it with the knowledge of eloquence, using the meanings of "mustetbeatut terakib" (balanced structures) and "maarizul kelâm" (elegant speech), and through the strength of the multiple layers of meaning, the literal meaning and the hidden meaning. And he names this extraordinary, lofty, and the greatest proof of tawhid (oneness), and the great sign of the great verse, as "Âyetü'l-Kübrâ". And by this name, he proclaims and announces both the greatness of the source verse of the great sign and the extraordinary strength of the proof of oneness and tawhid, which is the seventh ray of unity. Whoever has any doubt about the great attention of the Noble Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to this treatise and its worth, let them come and read this treatise once. If they do not say, "Yes, it is worthy," then let them say to me, "I swear!"

A Few Words About Âyetü’l-Kübra When Hazrat Bediüzzaman was in Kastamonu, he composed an immense treatise, under the name of Âyetü’l-Kübra, proving the existence and oneness of Allah with the languages of the beings in the universe. Regarding this treatise, our Master said, “It is a great truth of the Qur’an and a mighty barrier against the current terrible corruption.” It was written hastily as it came to the heart, and only the first draft was used. Our Master said, “Since I did not feel that my will and choice were present while writing it, I did not consider it appropriate to revise or improve it with my own opinion.” Because this treatise was first submitted secretly, it caused the arrest of the Master and his students. However, later on, the Denizli and Ankara High Courts, after two years of investigation, unanimously decided on their acquittal and the return of the treatise. Imam Ali (r.a.), with his insight into the unseen, saw this treatise and in his “Kasida-i Celcelutiye” he referred to the importance and acceptance of this treatise and prayed for it with the verse, “And by the great sign, protect me from the calamity,” thus appointing it as an intercessor. The fact that the Master and his students were acquitted and released from prison as a result of the investigation of this Âyetü’l-Kübra proved the acceptance of Imam Ali’s (r.a.) prayer. Our Master considered it appropriate that this Qur’anic truth, as a mighty barrier, be placed here in terms of rank, against the currents of deviation in this century, which attempt to cause a serious corruption in the faith of Muslims. • • • This third ray, the Münacât treatise, was composed in Kastamonu together with Âyetü’l-Kübra and five or six other treatises. It is a brilliant example of the course of the Master’s life in Kastamonu, his preoccupations, and the issues around which his service revolved. Yes, Said Nursi was working for the strengthening of faith, which is the most essential service for the nation and Islam, through the truths in these treatises.

Here is one of the eleven words of that Kelâm-ı Tevhid: FIRST WORD 1 "La ilaha illallah" (There is none worthy of worship except Allah). The evidence for this is the printed Risale-i Âyetü'lkübrâ. Because of the miraculous nature of this unparalleled evidence, Imam Ali (r.a.), while informing about the cures of Nur, said, 2 "And by the Greatest Sign, I have saved you from the darkness," appointing the Âyetü'lkübrâ as an intercessor. During the Denizli imprisonment of the Nur disciples, this treatise, through its victories in both the Ankara and Denizli courts and its influential underground spread, caused the acquittal of his students. Likewise, its hidden printing, by becoming the cause of the nine-month suspensions of his disciples, clearly confirmed Imam Ali's (r.a.) supernatural power and the prayers of the Nur disciples. Indeed, the Âyetü'lkübrâ's light demonstrates thirty-three great and comprehensive proofs in the assembly of existence, and in each of these comprehensive proofs, it points to countless proofs. Starting with the words "heavens and stars," then with the words and phrases of "earth, animals, and plants," and gradually until the entire universe, the assembly of all things, the included and the existing, the occurrences and possibilities, and the realities of change, the words of the Necessary Being's existence and unity are proven with the brightness of the sun and the certainty of day. Those who seek an unshakable faith and an unbreakable sword against godless anarchism should turn to the Âyetü'lkübrâ.

Beloved brothers; in the thought of Hazrat Ali (r.a.) "And by the great sign, believe me from the morning," the great verse (Âyetü’l-Kübrâ) informed in a miraculous manner that his disciples would fall into a calamity and then emerge to safety and security through his blessings. Similarly, the treatise of Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, with its one hundred printed copies among the Lights, has taken a prominent position in the matter of freedom, and thus has been the first cause of the three great rains of mercy upon this country. I do not know the state of the world, but from the past, the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ and its companions have brought freedom from the invasion and captivity of the one who has been tightening our throats, who has always been waiting for an opportunity to invade us, who has gained terrible strength, found supporters, and who has been waiting for an opportunity thinking we are defenseless. Until now, the Risale-i Nur, like charity, has been a means to ward off calamities, so it can be said to be a means against this calamity. And in the thought of Imam Ali (r.a.) "And by the name of the staff of Moses, the darkness was dispelled," the treatise of Âyetü’l-Kübrâ is the intended purpose. The "Hüccetü’l-Bâliğa," the eleven proofs of the Denizli Fruit, exactly correspond to the eleven miracles of the staff of Moses, and in this thought, just as the treatise of Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, the Imam Ali (r.a.) is the subject of consideration, which was impressed upon my heart. Thus, the treatise of the Fruit, like the staff of Moses, silences and defeats many pharaohs. My brave and blessed brothers who have mastered the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ have performed a great service to Nur. The service of the late Hafız Ali (r.a.) to Nur continues with this as well. • • •

Indeed, the people of deviation who attack the people of faith, in this age of congregational societies, have become a spiritual entity and a restless spirit, fueled by the ideology of societies and committees, corrupting the general conscience and the collective heart of the Muslim world. They tear apart the sublime Islamic veil that protects the traditional beliefs of the common people and burn the inherited emotional sensibilities that sustain spiritual life. While each Muslim individually struggles in vain to escape from this terrible fire, the Risale-i Nur (Message of Light) arrived like a Hızır (a supernatural helper). Imam Ali (r.a.) has seen and emphasized the "Âyetü’l-Kübrâ" (The Greatest Sign) as a miraculous commander, showing the final army that encompasses the universe, the HAŞİYE, from which invincible material and spiritual help can be drawn. Apply the other points in this representation, so that a glimpse of that secret may appear. Said Nursî

My dear brother; please convey our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to our lawyer Ziya on behalf of the Risale-i Nur. For a long time, it has been impressed upon my spirit that someone named Ziya would render great service to the Risale-i Nur. This matter has shown that this Ziya is indeed that Ziya. He has made us eternally grateful. We thank the court clerk, the honorable Hesnâ Hanım, and the conscientious judge. Please let them know that I will not forget them, especially my dear brothers, the Mufti Osman and Hasan Feyzi. Please convey our greetings and gratitude to them. Also, tell the just judge that I have decided to have most of the cures from the Risale-i Nur printed and given to him as a gift. I also intend to print and give the important part of the Risale-i Nur to the esteemed lawyer Ziya. I am wondering whether the five hundred printed copies of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ treatise will be given to those who printed them. One of them is that all the Risale-i Nur copies that were confiscated in Istanbul belong to me. The collection containing twenty treatises is of great importance to me. Also, when I was leaving Denizli, I left the treatise on the Miracles of the Ahmediye there with some people, and it is very important to me. Perhaps Hoca Mûsâ Efendi knows about it. In order to protect the weak or new students of the Risale-i Nur from temptation, I declare that for twenty years, a secret committee, along with some foolish teachers or partisans of bid'ah (innovation), have tried to undermine some unassailable truths of the Risale-i Nur by highlighting my many faults and mistakes (which I admit) and by discrediting me in order to attack the Risale-i Nur. In fact, these attempts have even led to my being arrested twice. Therefore, I declare to my friends and the students of the Risale-i Nur: I thank the Almighty for not making me like myself and for informing me of my faults. It is not about selling myself or boasting, but perhaps with a sense of humility, the sincere and devoted students of the blessed Risale-i Nur can recognize my sincerity and devotion.

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: We congratulate you on the three blessed luminous signs, which will bring you a spiritual life of more than eighty years, and especially on this night of Regaib. Your salvation and spiritual victory have astonished the oppressors. They have changed their front here. They have given up hostile attacks and are now approaching in a friendly manner, and are finding excuses such as duties or other tasks to prevent their devoted students from serving the Risale-i Nur, or they are transferring them to another duty or another task. There are many such cases here. This attack seems more harmful in a certain respect. Second: Here, a powerful light has entered the high school. It is the First Mevkıf of the Thirty-Second Word, from the name of the Adl and Hakem Nükteleri of the Thirtieth Lem’a up to the Tabiat Lem’a, and from the beginning of the First Makam of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, which starts with "Yes, every guest who enters this worldly country and this guest house..."—except for the levels of inspiration and revelation—we have given permission with new letters and a spiritual note up to the Eighteenth Degree, which is the truth of the universe's boundaries, up to possibility. They wrote it themselves with a typewriter. You can also bind these four parts together and throw them at the deniers like a twelve-pound cannonball with the new letters. Since I am in a very weak, old, and helpless condition this year, I ask my young brothers for their spiritual assistance during this blessed trinity of luminous signs. We greet each one of you individually and pray for your safety and well-being. Said Nursî • • •

Beloved, sincere brothers; First of all: With our soul and spirit, we congratulate you on your blessed nights of Aşura and your sacred holiday. May the Almighty, with His mercy and grace, with His protection and care, and with His success and guidance, make you successful in the printing and dissemination of the Risale-i Nur and in the printing of the blessed and accurate edition of the Qur’an. Ameen. Secondly: I have always recited the thirty-three words of tawhid in the prayer tasbih, which is a summary of the Risale-i Nur and a summary of the summary of the Nuri Party. Since the majority of the truths of the Risale-i Nur have unfolded in the prayer tasbih, I imagine that each of these thirty-three words of tawhid is spoken in the language of a different level of creation. I recite these words as if I am speaking them in that very language. Thus, the universal language of the heart becomes the same as my individual speaking tongue. I recite them with great joy. I am sending you the manner of this recitation. I have no doubt that: 1 "Tafakkur Sa'ate..." etc., the secret carried by the Nuri Party, even its summary of the summary in fifteen minutes carries the same secret. Those who do not know Arabic can fully understand the levels of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ. This Arabic passage becomes fully understandable. If someone who does not know Arabic looks at both texts a few times, they will fully understand. I recite this passage once every twenty-four hours, either in the tasbih of my morning prayer or at another time, and especially when I feel tired or stressed. It gives me a sublime sense of relief and removes my fatigue. It would be appropriate to write this Hülâsatü’l-Hülâsa at the end of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ and the Nuri Party. It is meaningful that the majority of the truths of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ and the Risale-i Nur appear during Ramadan and in the tasbih, and this Hülâsatü’l-Hülâsa appeared exactly in Ramadan and in the tasbih. Thirdly: Recently, I heard that the Delegation has decided to transfer my residence from Kastamonu to Emirdağ. It is clear that they cannot find any excuse to relate to the Risale-i Nur and its students, but they only pay attention to my insignificant person and record me. I also assure you with all my strength that with my soul and spirit, they will not prevent the Risale-i Nur and

In the Name of Him (to Whom the seven heavens and the earth and all that is in them glorify Him, and nothing exists but it glorifies Him with His praise), peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Beloved, faithful and generous, sincere brothers; this time, from your very precious and extraordinary spiritual gift, I have remembered three or four small matters. First: In the third Alevi miracle, saying "there are only two supplements in the treatises" refers to the supplements that have taken the form of treatises. Other supplements are considered as epilogues, additions and footnotes. Second: Although I had forgotten the recitation of the two great verses, since I have explained and translated the important parts of the Twentieth Letter and the Thirty-Second Saying to such an extent that they would not leave any need for me, I regret that I was not used in the translation, despite my intention and promise. Third: Since the Risale-i Nur has separated from me and I have also been removed from the circle of translation, in order to make places like these and Konya feel the important and necessary truths of the Risale-i Nur, I realized that the Divine Providence was using me again, as if it were being written anew, to explain those same truths in different and elegant styles, and I was almost without choice. I was very grateful. This time, in return for your gifts, if it were possible for me, I would give ten liras for each treatise according to their material value, twenty-five gold coins for the Twenty-Fifth Saying, perhaps diamonds, and twenty-nine rubies for the Twenty-Ninth Saying. So, please consider them as given. Yes, the "celestial pen" miracle, which is successful in coincidence, has shown a visible and beautiful proof. A hundred thousand times alhamdulillah! The Lem’as of the Patients and the Lem’as of the Six Names, written very beautifully and exceptionally by Husrev, appeared to me as two letters of sincerity written with diamonds and adorned with them, as long as those, and reminded me with tears of their very important services to the Risale-i Nur. And for the letters in the treatises of your gift, may the Most Merciful and Most Compassionate grant you mercy, blessings and happiness. Ameen. Unwearying, unceasing, serious,

Third point: My beloved brothers, many times it came to my heart. I would wonder and await the secret of why Imam Ali (r.a.) gave importance to Risalatü'n-Nur and especially to the treatise Ayetü'l-Kübrâ. Praise be to Allah, that century was indicated. For now, I only briefly point to that secret. Namely, one distinguished feature of Risalatü'n-Nur is that the last and most comprehensive point of support for faith is stated strongly and definitely, and this feature shines exceptionally in the treatise Ayetü'l-Kübrâ. In this strange century, the struggle between disbelief and faith is spreading to the last point of support. For example, just as in a very large battlefield where both sides have gathered all their forces, two units are clashing. The enemy side, using every means possible, tries to destroy the spiritual strength of the believing unit and break the unity of its members. It diverts its precautionary forces toward a significant point of support. Against each member of the Muslim unit, it sends a group inspired by the spirit of collectivism and committees. In a dire situation where it tries to completely destroy all spiritual strength, someone like Khizr appears and says: "Do not despair! You have such an unshakable point of support and such an invincible, magnificent army and inexhaustible precautionary forces that even if the whole world gathered, it could not stand against you. What cannot scatter the universe cannot scatter you. The reason for your current defeat is that you have sent one individual against a group and a spiritual figure. Work so that each individual, through the strong spiritual strength derived from the circles of support, becomes a spiritual figure and a society in their own right." And he gave complete reassurance.
