The Fourteenth Resha
FIRST VERSE: The proofs that confirm the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) are innumerable and unfathomable. There are many classifications made by those who have investigated and by the learned people regarding these proofs. Due to my own limitations and shortcomings, in my work titled "Shu'at," I have mentioned some of the rays of that sun. In another work of mine titled "Lema'at," I have explained the degrees of the excellence of the Qur'an, which reach up to forty. And one aspect of those excellences related to poetic eloquence is mentioned in my work titled "Isarat al-Ijaz." I recommend those three books to those who are interested.
SECOND VERSE: As understood from the previous lessons, the Qur'an, which was revealed by the Creator of the earth and the heavens for the reformation and upbringing of humanity, has many duties and ranks.
Indeed, the Qur'an is an eternal translation of the universe. And it is the translator of the verses of creation, which the universe reads in its own language. And just as this book of the world is an interpretation, it reveals the hidden meanings of the beautiful names of God, which are concealed in the pages of the earth and the heavens. And this world of witness is a language from the unseen world. And just as it is the sun of the Islamic world, it is also the map of the hereafter. And it is a proof and a translator of the essence, attributes, names, and manifestations of the Almighty. Likewise, as a book of law, wisdom, prayer, invitation, worship, command, remembrance, and thought, although it appears as a single book on the surface, due to the variety of subjects and sciences it contains, it is equivalent to thousands of books.

Beloved, sincere brothers, members of the Medresetü’z-Zehra, and disseminators of the Light: First of all, we have considered a matter to be appropriate; it has occurred to our hearts to refer the matter to the members of the Medresetü’z-Zehra, who are the authorities on the original Light, for their approval. Namely:
Recently, due to the desire of our three assistants, who have temporarily wanted to take lessons from me for a few days, and also due to my desire to revive a precious memory I had given to my students in the past, I was teaching a page of the printed Lemeat every day. Both I and they were receiving it with great amazement and appreciation. We came to the conclusion that the reason why there are no copies of this printed treatise, like other printed treatises, is that some of the enemies, who know its great value, have prevented its dissemination, while some of the friends have not parted with it because of its value.
We also observed that this Lemeat contains the essence and seeds of an important part of the Risale-i Nur. It contains very beautiful parables and presents a great social truth, which cannot be imitated, in a style that no poet or thinker has succeeded in achieving, similar to a simple and easily readable prose book, without any poetic rhythm. We also noticed that thirty-seven years ago, during the holy month of Ramadan, by devoting one or two hours each day, a style was developed in which a long book, almost like a masnavi, was written. In twenty places within it, we noted that there were hints of a kind of esoteric indication, and thirty to forty years later, the meaning of these hints emerged exactly as they were, and we found a copy with marks at those very points. This shows that we believe the Lemeat is a herald, an index, and a sample of the nursery of the Risale-i Nur.
Secondly, we refer the matter of writing the parts indicated by this Lemeat at the end of the "Thirtieth and Third Word" to the opinion of the Brave Hero of Light, Husrev, and the members of the Medresetü’z-Zehra. We ask for peace and prayers from all my brothers and sisters. FOOTNOTE

2 And indeed, nothing is there but praises Him with His praise, 1 by His name, exalted is He.
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings in the number of the dozens of minutes of these three months 3.
Beloved, sincere brothers; First: We congratulate you on the past Night of Mirac and the coming Night of Berat, and we ask for your accepted prayers.
Second: The latter half of the Twenty-fifth Word, the Miraculousness of the Qur'an, remained very concise due to the haste of the calamity. As I previously wrote to you, I had appended some supplements at the end of it. Now, we have found an important piece, twenty years ago, in the Lemeat. It was considered very suitable to include in the copies of the Miraculousness of the Qur'an. I found a copy of the Lemeat brought to me by the brave Tahirî very precious. If there is another copy in that area, you can also write this piece at the end of your copies. Indeed, the Lemeat itself is also a marvel. It was written in prose style, without any interruption, in one go, during the Holy Ramadan, within twenty days. Then we saw that it had taken the form of a flowing prose and a measured composition, like a smooth narrative. This piece is even more remarkable. The heading of that piece in the Lemeat is: "Explanation with permission, the permission of the Qur'an."
Once, in a dream, I saw that I was under the Ağrı Mountain. Suddenly, the mountain exploded, scattering stones like mountains into the world, shaking the world. From this, up to the heading "There are two kinds of perspectives. One is dark, the other is more." If the Lemeat has not reached your hands, we will send you that piece from here.
Third: I will tell you a beautiful, graceful, and elegant incident. In this country, elderly ladies and young ladies, who are like virgins, have shown more selfless attachment to the Risale-i Nur than men. They have taken precious pieces from the old embroidered and beaded wedding attire and used them to cover the covers of the Risale-i Nur's volumes, so that all the books look like they are bound with golden embroidery. The spiritual beauty of the Risale-i Nur, and the elegance of the calligraphy of my brothers such as Hüseyn Tâhirî, Alis, Hasan Âtıf, and Âsım, and the beauty on the covers is also charming.

The Twenty-Sixth Letter
This Twenty-Sixth Letter is a rare and precious Fourth Mebhas, with little connection to others.
First Mebhas
1 In the name of Him, the Exalted - and indeed, nothing exists but praises Him.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
And if a whisper from Satan does touch you, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 2
The Evidence of the Qur'an against Satan and His Followers
The First Mebhas, which binds Iblis, comprehends Satan, and silences the people of transgression, is a decisive case in an impartial trial, firmly rejecting the cunning of Satan.
I had previously written a summary of this case ten years ago in Lemeât. As follows:
Eleven years before composing this treatise, during the sacred month of Ramadan, I was in Istanbul, listening to recitations in the Bayezid Mosque. Suddenly, I did not see a person, but I felt as if I heard a spiritual voice calling me, turning my mind to itself. I listened as if in a dream. I saw it saying to me:
"You see the Qur'an as very high and very bright. Judge impartially, look at it that way. That is, imagine it as a human speech, look at it that way. Then, would you see those merits, those adornments?"
Indeed, I was deceived by it, and I imagined it as a human speech and looked at it that way. I saw that just as when the electric switch of Bayezid is turned off and the lights go out, the brightness of the Qur'an began to be hidden by that assumption.
At that moment, I realized that the one speaking to me was Satan, and he was trying to mislead me. I sought refuge in the Qur'an. Suddenly, a light came to my heart and gave me an absolute strength to defend. At that time, a debate began decisively against Satan.

SECOND POINT
Since the Egyptian territory is a part of the Great Desert, which is made of sand, and because it has become a very fertile field due to the blessings of the sacred Nile, the existence of such a paradisiacal location near that hellish desert has brought about a great transformation in agriculture and farming, and deeply impressed the people's minds. It has elevated sacred agriculture and the means of agriculture, namely the cow and the bull, to almost the level of deities. Indeed, the people of Egypt at that time had given a sacred status to the bull and the cow, even to the level of worship. At that time, the Children of Israel were also flourishing in that territory, and the fact that they had received a share of this upbringing is understood from the matter of "icl."
Indeed, the Holy Qur'an, through the prophethood of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him), has cut off and destroyed the idea of cow-worship that had entered the customs and inclinations of that nation. This is illustrated by the sacrifice of a cow. Thus, through this minor incident, the Qur'an gives a universal rule, a very necessary lesson of wisdom for all times and for everyone, in a sublime manner.
Similarly, know that some historical events mentioned in the form of minor incidents in the Holy Qur'an are the tips of universal rules. Indeed, in many verses, the story of Musa is repeated and mentioned, and in the "Ijazat al-Qur'an" treatise, in the chapter of Lemaat, we have explained how each of these minor parts of the seven parts of the story of Musa represents an important universal rule. If you wish, you can refer to that treatise.
