SEVENTH POINT
The fast of Ramadan is one of the many wise reasons that consider the profit of the human beings who work and trade in this world for the hereafter. It is as follows:
In the noble month of Ramadan, the reward of good deeds is multiplied by a thousand. Each letter of the Holy Qur’an, according to the narration of the hadith, has ten rewards; it is counted as ten good deeds and brings ten fruits of Paradise. In the noble month of Ramadan, each letter is not ten, but a thousand; and each letter of verses like Ayat al-Kursi is worth thousands; and on the Fridays of Ramadan, even more. And on the Night of Power, each letter is counted as thirty thousand good deeds.
Indeed, the Holy Qur’an, whose every letter yields thirty thousand eternal fruits, becomes like a luminous tree of paradise, and in the noble month of Ramadan, it grants millions of these eternal fruits to the believers. Come, look at this sacred, eternal, and profitable trade, observe and reflect, so that you may understand how ignorant and foolish those are who do not appreciate the value of these letters.
Thus, the noble month of Ramadan is indeed a very profitable market and bazaar for the trade of the hereafter. It is a very fertile ground for spiritual harvest. And for the springtime of good deeds, it is like the month of April. It is a sacred and brilliant festival, a gateway to the sovereignty of divine lordship, where human servitude is expressed in its purest and most sacred form.
And because of this, one is obligated to fast, to refrain from the animalistic desires of the soul, such as eating and drinking, which are driven by ignorance and greed. For a moment, by leaving behind worldly needs and entering a state of angelic purity or engaging in the trade of the hereafter, one becomes a kind of intermediary between the temporal and the eternal, expressing a spiritual state and a soul freed from worldly attachments.

The disciples of Risaletü'n-Nur, who are a month away from us, saw the condition of our Master's illness exactly as it was in a dream at the same time. Likewise, the groups of Sabri and Hafız Ali worked in an even more important way for our ailing Master at the same time, that is, in Kastamonu. For example:
(This is a part of Sabri's letter.)
My Master, may you be well; at the moment of your illness, the warriors of the source of light there, just as they performed spiritual labor for an hour for the servant of the Qur'an, also performed a special spiritual labor for this year in this village. This was mentioned to me by the poor one a day before the Night of Power, during the time of the blessing: "This year, the Night of Power will be two nights." I also told the congregation: "Our Master (May Allah preserve him and grant him health) for certain purposes, on some blessed nights, would strive to revive that blessed night even a day before, or even a day after the actual blessed night. So we decided and resolved to observe the Night of Power for two nights in his account. On the first night, we worked on our lessons and recitations such as the Evrad-ı Bahaiye, the Tasbihat, the Sekîne, the Delâil-i Hayrat, and the Cevşenü'l-Kebîr. On the second night, similarly, we gave advice... Thus, in terms of following, we have worked for our Master's account with a hundred congregations. Later, in places like Isparta, Atabey, İslâmköy, Kuleönü, and others, in addition to other duties, every day we distributed the chapters of the Qur'an and completed the recitation of the entire Qur'an, and for the entire Ramadan and the recitation of the Ayat al-Kursi, all for the account of our Master. Therefore, there must be a wisdom in these acts of worship performed specifically this year, which we did not know, and we were made to work for our Master's account, just like our brothers from Kastamonu. May Allah grant our Master long life, may He bestow hidden, eternal healing, cure, and care. Ameen!
Your student,
Sabri

For example, the reward of Surah Al-Fatiha is equal to the reward of the entire Qur'an; 1 the Surah Ikhlas is a quarter of the Qur'an; 2 the Surah Izâ Zulzileti’l-Ardu is a quarter; 3 the Surah Kul Yâ Eyyühe’l-Kâfirûn is a quarter; 4 and the Surah Yâsin, it is reported to be ten times the reward of the entire Qur'an. Thus, some unjust and careless people have said: "This is impossible. Because the Qur'an also contains Yâsin and other chapters of virtue. Therefore, this makes no sense."
The answer is: The truth is that each letter of the Qur'an al-Hakim has its own reward and benefit. From the divine bounty, the reward of these letters varies: sometimes ten times, sometimes seventy times, sometimes seven hundred times (like the letters of Ayat al-Kursi), sometimes one thousand five hundred times (like the letters of Surah Ikhlas), sometimes ten thousand times (like the verses recited on the Night of Bar'at and those recited at accepted times), and sometimes thirty thousand times (for example, the weight of a mustard seed, like the verses recited on the Night of Qadr). And since "that night is equivalent to a thousand months," it is understood that one letter on that night has the reward of thirty thousand. Thus, the Qur'an al-Hakim, with its multiplicative rewards, certainly cannot and does not achieve balance. Perhaps with their original rewards, some chapters can achieve balance.
For example, imagine a field where wheat has been sown, and a thousand grains have been planted. Suppose some of the grains produce seven ears, and each ear contains a hundred grains. In that case, a single grain would be equivalent to two quarters of the entire field. Suppose another grain produces ten ears, and each ear contains two hundred grains. In that case, a single grain would be twice as much as the grains in the original field. And similarly, you can compare.
Now, imagine the Qur'an al-Hakim as a sacred, celestial field of light. Each letter is like a grain in this field. The ears they produce are not to be considered. Chapters like Surah Yâsin, Ikhlas, Fatiha, Kul Yâ Eyyühe’l-Kâfirûn, and Izâ Zulzileti’l-Ardu can be compared with other chapters and verses that have been reported to have special virtues. For example, since the Qur'an al-Hakim has 306,220 letters, the Surah Ikhlas, including the Basmalah, has 69 letters. Three times 69 is 207 letters. Therefore, each letter of Surah Ikhlas
