If all things are not given together to the Almighty and All-Knowing, then even the smallest thing, like a fly, must be composed with a specific measure from the majority of the world's elements. The particles working in that small fly's body can only be known with all the details of its hidden mystery and the perfection of its art.
Because natural and material causes, by their nature and according to the consensus of all reasonable people, cannot create anything from nothing. Therefore, if they create, they must necessarily assemble. Since they must assemble, then certainly, whatever living being it is, it must contain samples of most of the elements and components within it. It is like a summary, a core of the universe.
Certainly, in that case, it is necessary to extract a core from the entire tree, a living being from the whole earth, by sifting with the finest sieve and measuring with the most delicate balance and collecting it. And since natural causes are ignorant and unconscious, they have no knowledge to plan, to determine a blueprint, a schedule, a model, or a program, and melt and shape the particles according to that spiritual mold so that they do not disperse and their order is not disrupted.
Indeed, since the form and structure of everything can be in countless ways, and in countless conditions and immeasurable shapes and quantities, to gather the particles of flowing elements like a river, without dispersing them, in a specific form and quantity, in an orderly, shapeless, and formless mass, and to give a living being an organized body—how far this is from possibility, probability, and reason is evident.
Certainly, whoever is not blind in the heart can see this. Yes, according to this truth,
Indeed, those whom you invoke besides Allah cannot create a fly, even if they all gathered together.
this verse's secret is that, even if all material causes were gathered and they had free will, they could not assemble the body of a single fly and its equipment with a specific measure. Even if they could assemble it, they could not keep it in its specific quantity. Even if they could keep it in that specific quantity, they could not continuously supply the constantly renewing particles that come to and work in that body. Therefore, by nature, these causes cannot claim ownership of these things.

My dear and respected Master, the index of the "Sözler" (Sayings), "Mektubat" (Letters), and "Pencereler" (Windows) has been so beautifully compiled that anyone who even glances at it can form a general idea about the value and importance of the Risâletü'n-Nur works. This index is worth the price of all the treatises. No author can produce such important four treatises by summarizing the meaning of each of the approximately one hundred and twenty books he has written, especially the verses in the texts, one by one in a suitable and meaningful way, and explaining the essence and nature of the treatises. Another obvious feature of this index is that it is not based on your own choice, but is proven to be based on inner inspirations. As we see these things, we are very grateful to our Lord for having access to a Master like you.

In the Name of Allah, the Sublime, 1
First: May Allah grant you health and well-being through your lips and hands, and I ask from the Lord of the Universe for your needs and eagerly await your prayers, my master.
Second: There is nothing left to be anxious about. The anxiety of March 5 found relief on April 18. The police office became the Nur office. The prosecutor of Tarsus investigated and said at that time, "Return these books." The commissioner told me, "Go, get the ones in Mersin, come back, and give them all together," so he sent me to Mersin. The Mersin police said, "We sent your books to Ankara; if they arrive, we will give them to you, if not, there are no books here." I returned and went back to the Tarsus commissioner. The commissioner, bowing his head, replied, "Teacher, we are just following orders. Do not be upset, do not take it to heart. We cannot give your books without an order." On April 18, they said, "Your books have arrived. Go and get them." I went immediately. I understood that the books Zülfikar, Sikke-i Tasdik, Tılsım, Afyon Müdafaanız, and finally these five books had arrived from Ankara, from the wrapped paper outside.
In the end, they handed us the books with a document saying, "There is nothing preventing the sale." I gave the commissioner a Tılsım collection, to the police officer Ethem Bey a Hülâsa and a new alphabet version of Tarihçe-i Hayat. They were very pleased. They also became Nur followers.
My master, you said, "This side's duty is yours." I promised, and when I left from Isparta, I said I would return in March. Because I could not reach Gaziantep and Maraş, my soul says, "You did not fully fulfill your duty."
My master, a year before going to Eskisehir, three or four months after our first meeting, I had a dream in which my master came to our house. You said to me, "If I send you somewhere, would you go?" I said, "Yes, master." You said, "I will send you somewhere for three months." I immediately started walking. You gave me an order to "stop," so I stopped. You said, "Have I given you the order to go now?" I immediately woke up. Since then, I have been wondering. "Has this year's order come? And will a three-month journey be granted to us?"
