And they have realized that they have taken full lessons from the Risale-i Nur, and that the scientific and faith-based parts of the Risale-i Nur have been written with almost complete knowledge and awareness. Said, on the other hand, expressed sincere and serious opinions, and they have unanimously decided that the strength and authority in him is not, as some claim, the invention of a tariqa (spiritual order), the founding of a society, or fighting the government, but perhaps only the strength and authority to convey the truths of the Qur’an to those in need. And regarding the "non-scientific" secrets they mentioned, they said that it is necessary not to be responsible for these works at times when one is caught up in attraction, emotional excitement, or spiritual turmoil. They also understand the meaning of the two personalities in the expressions "Old Said" and "New Said," and in the second, the meaning of extraordinary spiritual strength and knowledge of the Qur’anic truths. For the sake of the memory of the philosophers, they say that there is a possibility of "some kind of attraction and mental disturbance," both to free us from the responsibility of strong expressions and to appease our opponents, saying that "the possibility of hallucination illness in the sense of 'sem u basar' (delusion) can be considered." But what completely refutes their assumption are the Nur Risales that have come into their hands and left all minds behind, and the Müdafaa and Meyve Risales that have astonished all lawyers. I am very grateful that the manifestation of a noble hadith has been given to me through this possibility.
Also, those who are knowledgeable have fully acquitted all my brothers and me and said: "Those who have attached themselves to Said's scholarly and knowledgeable works have done so for faith and the hereafter; we found no indication or sign of any conspiracy against the government, neither in their correspondence nor in their books and writings," and with the agreement of that group, they signed under the names of one philosopher Necati, one Yusuf Ziya (a scholar), and one philosopher Yusuf.

An important news for elderly women and a warning for young women who wish to remain single.
The noble hadith says, "Adopt the religion of the elderly women," indicating that in the last times, strong faith is found in elderly women, and the noble hadith commands to follow the religion of pious elderly women. Also, one of the four principles of Risale-i Nur is compassion. Women, because of their compassionate nature, even the most timid among them, will sacrifice their lives for their children. In this era, these precious mothers and nurses are facing a great event. It is necessary to inform the girls who wish to or are forced to remain celibate among the disciples of Nur about a natural truth that is confidential and not suitable to be disclosed. I feel compelled to mention this to them. So I say:
My daughters, my nurses; This time is not like the past. Instead of Islamic upbringing, civil upbringing has settled into our social life for nearly half a century. Therefore, a man needs a woman as a lifelong companion and partner for worldly happiness and to protect himself from other sins. However, he only loves her during her temporary, worldly youth and keeps her under his control. The comfort he gives her often leads to her suffering. If they are not equal, as the term "kufuf" implies, and if religious law is not considered, their life will always be full of pain. Jealousy, if it intervenes, makes it even worse.
Indeed, there are three reasons leading to this marriage:
One of them is that for the continuation of procreation, the divine wisdom has given a natural inclination and desire as a reward for the natural service. However, if that pleasure gives a moment of delight every ten minutes, and if it is legitimate, a man can endure an hour of hardship. But a woman, for that ten minutes of pleasure, endures the hardship of carrying the child in her body for nine months and helping the child's life for ten years. Therefore, that ten-minute natural inclination is insignificant compared to these long periods of hardship. Feelings and desires should not drive her into marriage for this reason.

People of knowledge, people of mysticism, and people of schools and sciences only refer to and benefit from Bediuzzaman's works. Indeed, a person who has only three months of education, who has not studied any book other than the Noble Qur'an for forty years, who wrote his works—thirty of them in Turkish and fifteen in Arabic—without referring to any book, as attested by his scribes who are still alive, essentially without a library, a semi-illiterate individual, with such an unparalleled eloquence, who in his youth debated with high scholars and great guides in the modern sciences and succeeded in all of these debates, who affirms the agreed-upon issues and corrects the controversial ones, and who was affirmed by the scholars with the statement "There is no question that Bediuzzaman cannot answer," and who refuted the attacks of some ignorant and biased European philosophers against the ambiguous verses and noble hadiths by proving through his works that these verses and hadiths are miracles, thereby saving some people of knowledge from error and halting the attacks on Islam, such an author as Said Nursi, is certainly a genius Qur'anic exegete, and there is no doubt that his knowledge is divine and vast, and that the Nur Collection, his works, is a wonderful masterpiece worthy of a lifetime of reading.
Dear brothers in faith! It is very necessary for us to be so careful in choosing a book that will ensure the prosperity and salvation of both our eternal life and that of the Islamic world, and that will guide and protect us from error. Because in this time, they are trying to mislead Islamic youth in various ways and behind the scenes.
When reading a book or listening to a statement, one must first consider the fundamental rule of: "Who said it? To whom did he say it? Why did he say it? In what position did he say it?" Indeed, the source of the eloquence, nobility, beauty, and strength of speech is these four things: the speaker's

FIFTH STEP
It has been reported in a noble hadith that:
1 "Indeed, Allah created man in the image of the Most Merciful (and so on)." This noble hadith has been interpreted in a strange way by some members of the Sufi path, which is incompatible with the beliefs of faith. Indeed, some of the lovers of divine love have looked at the spiritual image of man with the image of the Most Merciful. Since most of the Sufis are superficial and many of the lovers of divine love are confused and entangled, their views may be contrary to the truth. However, those who are of sound mind cannot accept the meanings of their beliefs that contradict the fundamentals of faith. If they do, they commit an error.
Indeed, the Divine Being, who governs the entire universe in an orderly manner like a palace or a house, who skillfully and effortlessly rotates and moves the stars like tiny particles, and who employs the smallest particles as orderly officials, has no partner, no counterpart, no opposite, and no rival. 2 "Nothing is like Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing," according to His secret. He has no image, no likeness, no equal, and no resemblance. However,
3 "And to Him belongs the highest description in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Almighty, the All-Wise," according to His secret, His affairs and attributes are observed through analogy and metaphor. Therefore, analogy and metaphor exist in the context of His affairs.
One of the many purposes of the aforementioned noble hadith is as follows:
Man is a form that fully represents the name of the Most Merciful. Indeed, as we have previously stated, the name of the Most Merciful appears in the image of the universe through the manifestations of a thousand names, and in the image of the earth's surface through the boundless movements of the absolute divine lordship. Similarly, in the composite form of man, on a small scale, just like the image of the earth and the image of the universe, the name of the Most Merciful manifests in its complete form.

S - Whether it is the Holy Qur'an or the noble hadiths which are its interpretation, they have taken a specialty from every field and every science. It is not necessary for a book or a person to be amazing only by covering specialties. A person can cover many specialties.
C - The specialties we mentioned are not the specialties of the science of hadith and jurisprudence. Rather, they are the specialties that are used and applied by collecting many signs that have not been heard before, with accuracy, in an appropriate position and a fertile place. The specialties that the Qur'an and hadith have taken are of this kind. These kinds of specialties can only be achieved after complete mastery and thoroughness, so that each specialty becomes an authority in its field or science. But this cannot exist in one person.
Dear friend! Also keep in your mind these well-known rules that result from the reasoning on these matters, as they will be useful to you.
1. A person cannot be an expert in many fields.
2. A statement from one of two people is different according to their abilities. For example, what is gold to one person may be as worthless as coal to another.
3. Disciplines and ideas arise from the combination of ideas and evolve over time.
4. There are many issues that were theoretical in the past but are now practical.
5. The past cannot be compared to the present; there is a great difference between them.
