Revive my heart and my grave with the light of faith and the Qur'an, O Light, O Truth, O Living, O Self-Subsisting, O Lord of the Dominion, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O First, O Last, O Manifest, O Hidden, O Strong, O Capable, O My Lord, O Forgiving, O Most Merciful of the Merciful.
I ask You, by Your greatest name in the Qur'an and by Muhammad, upon whom be peace and blessings, who is Your greatest secret in the Book of the World, to open from these noble names, powers that overflow with the lights of the greatest name, to my heart, to my inner self, and to my soul in my grave, so that this page becomes like the roof of my grave and these names become like sources that pour the rays of the sun of truth into my soul.

About the Münderecât
One of the important prefaces of this important collection, called "I'lem", says: "This treatise is a kind of evidential interpretation of certain verses of the Qur'an. And the issues in it are like flowers plucked from the garden of the Qur'an al-Hakim. Do not be discouraged by the generalizations and liberties in the wording of this treatise, or by the apparent difficulties in understanding it.
Read it repeatedly until the mystery of the verse 1 لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَتِ وَاْلاَرْضِ and similar repeated verses of the Qur'an is revealed to you.
O reader! Do not think that the proofs and evidences of tawhid in this collection are dependent on each other. Because, I felt the need for each proof and for each specific station. My struggles and journeys led me to such a position that, at that position and in that moment, I was compelled to open a door. Because, at that terrible moment, it was not possible to return to other open doors. Also, during that strange journey, I left signs not to deviate, but perhaps to remember. Sometimes I would leave a sign for a great light.
How beautifully this collection presents to its readers, like a key, a kind of introduction and conclusion, as if it were a cipher.

The names of the treatises in this Nuriye Mesnevi are Reşha, Katre, Hubab, Habbe, and so on. If, as the late Sheikh Safvet Efendi wrote at the end of the Katre treatise, a preface were written for each treatise, then just as the late one said, "This is not a drop, but a sea," we too would say:
"That is not a word, but a sun. That is not a Reşha, but a sea. That is not a Zühre, but a canopy. That is not a Hubab, but a universe."

My brothers, since some of them are of this nature; to surrender to them is a kind of suicide, regretting Islam, perhaps even abandoning the religion. Because they have become so obstinate in disbelief that they are not satisfied with submission and humility from people like us. They say, "Abandon your heart and conscience, and work only for this world." Therefore, there is no other solution but to rely on Divine Providence, to maintain dignity and patience and trust, and to pray that the four-volume cure of the Risale-i Nur reach that center and triumph with strong truths. We have already experienced that there is no benefit in fearing each other, being offended, retreating from the Risale-i Nur, or even surrendering or being influenced by them. Do not worry at all. That Advocate's nervousness and anxiety reveal his weakness and complete fear. It is not a sign of aggression, but perhaps of a necessary caution.

Dear, sincere brothers; one of our brothers from Homali, Ali by name, died around the time of the death of Hafiz Ali, as Bey Sami told me, and even the brave Mehmed Ali from Homali wrote to me. I also included that Ali in my prayers as a companion of the great martyr Ali.
Recently, a lady who is connected with us saw that three of our brothers had died. In short, these two Alis and Mustafa, who wanted to be subjected to the Risale-i Nur while in prison, went to the hereafter at the cost of our common lives and were sacrificed for our safety.

In the name of Allah, the Exalted.
Dear, sincere, unshakable, and brothers who understand the nature and value of trust; for twenty years, I have not read or inquired about any newspaper, yet today, with much regret, I saw a section of a newspaper only for the sake of remembering some of my weak brothers. From this, I realized that significant events are being played out both behind and above the curtain. Since we have appeared on the stage, we are suspected of being related to those events. God willing, the four-volume strong treatises of the Risale-i Nur and its many decisive defense books will protect us, both in faith and the Quran, Islam h...

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

Beloved, sincere, and persevering brothers and true heirs of mine; recently, due to the anger that they caused in me, I was about to curse those who have committed an assassination against Risale-i Nur and those who have caused you distress. But suddenly I could not bear to do so in Isparta. How many times have I intended to do so, but the good people in Isparta have saved the assassins. I could not curse them, and instead I prayed and still pray: "O Lord, since Isparta is a Medresetü'z-Zehra of Risale-i Nur, reform even the corrupt officials there and grant them a good end."
I noticed: Recently, Salahaddin brought from Istanbul some Arabic treatises such as Habbe, Katre, Shamma, and Hubab. I read and saw that the truths observed by Yeni Said in his direct spiritual experiences are the core of Risale-i Nur. Indeed, these are both Shule and Zuhre, which are the Arabic parts of Risale-i Nur. They were expressed in Arabic and concise expressions because they were lessons from my own soul; others were not considered.
At that time, the Grand Mufti, the scholars of Darülhikmet, and the great scholars of Istanbul received them with approval and appreciation. These are the remedies of Risale-i Nur, since they are the works of Yeni Said. As for Eski Said, only one of his Arabic treatises, İşaratu’l-Icaz, holds an important place in Risale-i Nur.
Moreover, with the collaboration of both Said's, there is a treatise written in a single Ramadan, between two crescents, which took on a poetic form by my own choice, and which is fifty to sixty pages long in Turkish, called Lemaat. It can also be included in Risale-i Nur. Unfortunately, I could not obtain a copy. Since everyone liked it, the printed copies are no longer available.
Also, there is a printed treatise called Kızıl İcaz, which is a remarkable and valid proof that flows from the non-printed masterpiece of Eski Said in the field of logic, called Ta'likat. I considered it worthy to show to my students and the scholars' section, as it is connected to Risale-i Nur; but it is very deep. Recently, I sent a part to Feyzi.
