Beloved, sincere, steadfast, tireless, persevering, and self-sacrificing brothers; I do not think it necessary to encourage you against such fierce attacks. Your strong faith and your belief that every incident related to the Risale-i Nur contains a divine care and mercy is sufficient for your encouragement, we know. Yet, there is only one point I am curious about. Is the entire Risale-i Nur you have obtained only a set, and who is it, I want to understand. Whoever it is, let him not worry. In more important positions, they will achieve victories and earn rewards on his behalf. A set of Risale-i Nur can be provided for him. Also, is there anyone under custody? And who is the teacher assigned to him?
Saniyen: With the decision given by Sabri and Hâfız Ali's opinion for establishing communication, we also accepted the method of communication through Atabey, just like them. Lütfi has a heir named Abdullah Çavuş, and the address will be sent accordingly.
Salisen: Sabri's letter, in which he wrote with joy about the miraculousness of the Qur'an and the Risale-i Nur, made us very happy. Taking the remarkable and attractive "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'ân" written by Hasan Âtıf as the basis, we added other discussions about the points of the Qur'anic miracles to the other essays in the form of supplements; it turned out very well. For example, the Seventeenth Degree of the "Âyetü'lkübrâ" about the Qur'an, the Twentieth Word, and the last verse of the Surah Feth regarding its miracle, important parts from the Fihristen about the "Rumuzat-ı Semaniye," and two points from the Kenzü'l-Arş have been included in these supplements. Just like the supplements of the "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," they have shone brightly. The center of light, Sabri, will surely perfect that beautiful "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye" with them, insha'Allah.
Rabian: The letter from Abdullah Çavuş, the true and very serious heir of the late Lütfi, showed his level of sincerity, devotion, and connection. I always used to mention both Abdullah of İslâmköy and this Abdullah Çavuş together in my prayers. Allah shows that he is worthy of that position. The final, revised part of the Fihristen will be sent to him, insha'Allah. However, it has not been revised as much as he might have thought. Because, the process

One of these signs of the unseen is as follows:
The Almighty, out of His infinite mercy and grace, to encourage us who are engaged in service to the Qur'an and faith, and to satisfy our hearts, has bestowed a divine favor and an act of divine kindness as a sign that our service is accepted and as an indication that what we have written is true. In this way, He has shown a subtle grace and kindness in the form of hidden coincidences in all our treatises, especially in the treatises "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," "Icâz-ı Kur'an," and "Pencereler."
Namely, in one page, for example, He causes similar words to look at each other. A sign of the unseen is given here, saying, "This is arranged by a hidden will. Do not trust your own judgment and awareness. Wonders and arrangements are made without your knowledge or awareness."
Especially in the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," the words of the Noble Messenger and the words of salutations take on the effect of a ritual, clearly showing these hidden coincidences. In the handwriting of a new, inexperienced scribe, except for five pages, more than two hundred of these noble salutations look at each other in parallel.
These coincidences are certainly not the result of chance, which could only cause one or two coincidences in ten samples. Nor is it the thought of someone like me, who is completely unskilled in calligraphy, who composes dozens of pages in just one or two hours with great speed, without writing them personally or having them written.
Indeed, six years later, again guided by the Qur'an and the guidance that came through the pattern of the nine "Inna" in the tafsir "Isarat al-Icâz," I became convinced. The scribes, when they heard from me, were amazed and remained in awe.
Just as the words of the Noble Messenger and the words of salutations took on the effect of a small ritual of a type of Ahmedi miracle in the Nineteenth Letter.

Until now, since the occurrence of that event, we have passed through a period of caution so that the conditions of the students from different strata here might not appear to have changed due to an important incident, and so as not to draw the attention of the hypocrites to ourselves and to you.
Also, through the interpretations of the dreams of many individuals like Nazif, we understood that an event has occurred among you. We send our greetings and prayers to all our brothers one by one, and especially to those who have suffered misfortune. May Allah quickly rescue them and place them back in the positions of their duties. Ameen.

This is a saying of Hafız Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), an important pillar of the Risale-i Nur.
My beloved master, you said: "The greatest danger of this strange age is that the Risale-i Nur, which grants a decisive proof to the disciples who treat the wound of the infidels of the Last Days—those who will leave the world without faith—with the medicine of entering the grave with faith, using the miraculous language of the Qur'an—how can the service of weak individuals, with their limited and divine abilities, match this? Perhaps both are a divine gift." After stating this, just as the light of a lamp shines in the darkness of night and calls all the possessors of souls, even the smallest moths, from darkness to light with its eloquent speech, so too does the Risale-i Nur call those scholars and those of the spiritual path who have not been metaphorically executed by the sword of the Sharia and have not drowned and died in the darkness. This is a manifestation of His Name Rahîm.
The first of the two memories: The narration of the hadith regarding elderly women and the eternal and certain influence we have always seen in the blessed hadith, brought joy to us and to many women who are greatly concerned. May Allah be forever pleased with you. Ameen.

I received a letter stating that on behalf of our dear brothers from İnebolu, Nazif Çelebi sent Eid greetings, and that Zülfikar continued his service with great attention, importance, and caution, and completed the "Mu'cizât-ı Kur'âniye" and also completed a part of its copies. Additionally, it stated that Abdurrahman Salâhaddin, who taught the "Asâ-yı Mûsâ" and "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye" to American missionaries for four or five months, gifted and sent these works to the Câmiü'l-Ezher on our behalf through a reliable means. It also mentioned that an important Nur student, Ahmed Kureyşî, gave one hundred banknotes at the expense of their machine.
To our brave brother Nazif, and to the very serious and persevering and fully committed İnebolu Nur adherents, and to Ahmed-i Kureyşî and his companions, we heartily and sincerely congratulate them on their Eid, their continuous service, their great loyalty, Zülfikar's printing and success, and Salâhaddin's efforts to establish relations with Câmiü'l-Ezher and Medresetü'z-Zehra.

Yes, in the miraculous treatise "Mu'jizat-ı Ahmediye," it is proved with more than three hundred authentic narrations, as follows: That the Almighty split the moon into two parts with the palm of His hand, and that five springs of water gushed forth from the five fingers of the same hand, and that the entire army, which had no water, drank from it and witnessed it, and that this extraordinary miracle occurred twice in different places; and that with the same hand, a piece of earth was thrown at the attacking enemy army, and each of them had a handful of earth enter their eyes, causing them to flee while attacking; and that small stones in the same hand recited praises like human beings and said "Subhanallah," all of which are proven with authentic narrations and some with consensus, and that in the hand of this individual, there are more than a thousand miracles, confirmed by the people of investigation; and that both friends and enemies agree that the highest degree of sublime virtues and excellent morals, called "Ihsan," are found in him; and that all the people of investigation, who followed him with obedience and reached perfection and certainty in truth, unanimously confirm with absolute certainty that the highest degree of the perfections of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is found in him; and that the scholars of Islam and the truths of the great religion of Islam all point to his miraculous perfections. Indeed, that individual (peace be upon him) gives a very bright, complete, and extensive testimony to his own prophethood.

This is a compassionate slap that I received for my laziness.
Yes, my Master told me, "Write the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye in the style of my brother Husrev." I, that is, Feyzi, was a bit lazy. Suddenly, I was called for military service with the 28th group. Again, my Master said, "Go, write the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.). I will not let you go now." Then I started. That order was postponed for a week. Again, for some reason, the writing of the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.) was delayed. I was called to the army again. My Master said, "Go, write." I went and began to write the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.) with utmost sincerity and loyalty. The order was again postponed for a week. Once more, due to another excuse, I could not write the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.). My Master said, "Since you have procrastinated in writing the Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.), now your duty is to serve in the military on behalf of Risaletü'n-Nur." Suddenly, the order came and I received a compassionate slap and was sent to fulfill my duty. Praise be to Allah, I tried and was made to try as much as possible for Risaletü'n-Nur. As my Master told us, after six or seven months I was discharged and I reached my beloved Master and fulfilled the sacred duty of Risaletü'n-Nur. Insha'Allah, this fault of mine has been forgiven. I ask with all my soul for the forgiveness of this sin from the Qur'an and my Master, by the intercession of the pure Qur'anic disciples and precious brothers who elevated us in Risaletü'n-Nur and in the service of the Qur'an, such as Husrev, Rushd, Hafız Ali, Hulusi, and Sabri. I confess that I received an extraordinary compassionate slap as a punishment for my laziness.

efforts and activities of his diamond-pen brothers.

And indeed, nothing is there but praises Him. 1
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings in the number of the tens of minutes of the days of separation. 2
Dear, sincere brother; I am sending you this time the third and fifth parts of the Twenty-Ninth Letter. In the third part there is a secret. It was written in a single hour during Ramadan, while the afflicted soul was with me, and it was written rapidly. The style you will see is exactly as it was; we were astonished. We understood that our intention regarding the Qur’an in that part is entirely correct and necessary, and thus it happened.
Also, as an absolute proof, I sent two parts (the fourth and fifth sections of that Letter) to the miracles of the Ahmediyya.
Those two parts, after the composition of that treatise, were hastily copied by an inexperienced scribe from the original draft, so much so that he passed over the salutations (a.s.m.) sign. Two years later, when we examined them, we saw an amazing coincidence beyond our expectations.
Then, I gave it to an even more inexperienced scribe and said: "Write the word 'Resul-i Ekrem (a.s.m.)' and the word 'Qur'an' in red, and copy that manuscript exactly as it is." However, the second scribe was very inexperienced. He partially destroyed the coincidence in the first scribe's copy, and because of his awareness, he altered its subtlety. Nevertheless, the coincidence still serves as evidence, and you should carefully examine it for yourselves. A copy of that first manuscript should be preserved either with you or with Abdülmecid.
Praise be to Allah, now we are printing a few Qur'ans to display one part of the two hundred proofs of the Qur'an of the Miraculous Explanation. One of them is now complete. In it, out of the 2806 sacred words, about one percent excepted, the coincidence generally appears in a hidden manner. We printed the words of Allah in red. Anyone who sees it can say, "I can see the proof of the Qur'an with my own eyes." God willing, this part of proof will preserve the script of the Qur'an and save it from alteration.
I have distributed the emerald-pen copies among my brothers. My first brother, Hakkı Efendi, wrote the first part. The second and third parts are to be written on your behalf.
At the beginning, to your parents, Fethi Bey, Hoca Abdurrahman Bey, and my new student Imam Ömer Efendi, who are related to the Words.

Beloved, sincere, and precious brothers, and my diligent and serious companions in the service of the Qur’an; I received your letter, which is a new source of honor, grace, and joy. And it demonstrated a favor and divine care belonging to the Risâletü’n-Nur. Namely:
A few days ago, my place was inspected with great intensity. Despite searching everywhere, they could not find anything that would disturb us, thanks to divine protection. They found only six or seven treatises such as Economy, Patients, and Istiâze harmless. Then, they returned them intact, completely contrary to the confiscation rules, like the case of Hüsnü's call to prayer. I was worried about this incident and, while returning from the mountain, I wanted to talk with Abdülmecid, Sabri, Hüsnü, and Hâfız Ali, and ask, "Do you also have any problems?" And I came shouting with my voice. Suddenly, Emin opened the door and gave you all the blessed letters. Both of us witnessed the honor and grace of divine protection in this favor and inspection, and at the same time, we recognized the divine care in Hüsnü's exceptional success and the excellent results of his work against the usual practice. We both said, "The Risâletü'n-Nur is always a recipient of divine care" and expressed our gratitude.
Beloved brothers; the composition of the remaining index was entrusted to you. It would be good if you prepare it in the style of dividing the tasks.
Praise be to God, blessings be upon God, while your pens continue to produce excellent works, they are overlapping and especially increasing rapidly in Saf.
A thousand blessings be upon Hajı Hâfız and his village; it greatly pleased us. And Hüsnü's successful writings, especially the gilded copy of the Mu'jizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.) and the treatises of the Great and Small Alis are here, sweet and full of many discoveries. God willing, these blessed pens will have even more discoveries and we will see them.

One of these signs of the unseen is as follows:
The Almighty, out of His infinite mercy and grace, to encourage us who are engaged in service to the Qur'an and faith, and to satisfy our hearts, has bestowed a divine favor and a divine kindness in the form of a sign of the unseen, indicating the acceptance of our service and the truth of what we have written. In all our treatises, and especially in the treatises "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye" and "Icâz-ı Kur'an ve Pencereler," He has shown a subtle grace in the form of hidden coincidences.
That is, in one page, for example, He causes similar words to look at each other. A sign of the unseen is given here, saying, "It is arranged by a hidden will. Do not trust your own judgment and awareness. Wonders and arrangements are made without your knowledge and before your awareness catches up."
Especially in the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," the words of the Noble Messenger and the words of salutations take on the effect of a ritual, clearly showing these hidden coincidences. In the handwriting of a new, inexperienced scribe, except for five pages, more than two hundred of these noble salutations look at each other in parallel.
These coincidences are certainly not the result of chance, which could only cause one or two coincidences in ten samples. Nor is it the thought of someone like me, who is unskilled in calligraphy, who composes dozens of pages in just one or two hours with great speed, without writing them personally and without directing others to write them.
Indeed, six years later, again guided by the Qur'an and the guidance that came through the pattern of the nine "Inna" in the tafsir "Isharatu'l-Icâz," I became convinced. The scribes, when they heard from me, were amazed and astonished.
Just as the words of the Noble Messenger and the words of salutations took on the effect of a small ritual of a type of Ahmedi miracle in the Nineteenth Letter.

Just as the books of eloquence (belâğat) contain degrees of eloquence, the eloquence in the Kur'ân-i Hakîm has reached the degree of i'câz (inimitability); no one can reach it. Moreover, in the treatises of the Nineteenth Letter, which is one of the miracles of the Ahmediyye, and the Twenty-Fifth Word, which is a translator of the miracles of the Kur'âniyye, and the Risale-i Nur, which is a kind of tafsir (exegesis) of the Kur'ân, the excellence of eloquence shows a degree of grandeur surpassing the general excellence of books. And from this, it is understood that the miracles of the Kur'âniyye and the Ahmediyye are a kind of honor and that they manifest and appear in these treatises.
SECOND SIGN
The second of the Divine attentions related to the service of the Kur'âniyeh is as follows:
The Almighty, in a manner where I am a person without a pen, a half-illiterate, alone in a foreign land, and deprived of support; He has bestowed upon me brothers who are strong, serious, sincere, selfless, and whose pens are like diamond swords. He placed the heavy Kur'âniyeh duty, which fell heavily on my weak and helpless shoulders, onto those strong shoulders, and by His great mercy, He lightened my burden.
That blessed community, as Hulûsi expressed, is like the users of wireless telegraphy, and as Sabri expressed, like the machines that produce electricity for the Nur factory. Each has their own merits and precious diverse qualities. And again, as Sabri expressed, they are of a kind of hidden harmony. In a similar way, with encouragement, effort, and seriousness, they spread the mysteries of the Kur'âniyeh and the aspects of faith everywhere and reach every place. At this time (a time when the alphabet has changed, there are no printing presses, and everyone is in need of the aspects of faith), and when there are many obstacles and things that can discourage and weaken the spirit, these people, without such obstacles, with great enthusiasm and effort, perform these services. This is directly a miracle of the Kur'ân and a clear Divine attention.
Yes, just as the miracle of wilâyet (spiritual authority) exists, the miracle of sincere intention also exists. The miracle of sincerity also exists. Especially among brothers who are in a circle of love for the sake of Allah, there can be many miracles in serious and sincere mutual support. Indeed, such a community is

In the Name of God, the Most High 1
The following is an introduction to the written fıkralar (doctrines).
In order to partially assist the Court of Cassation in its favor against the Afyon decision made against us, by showing some of the errors in the decision with brief notes, we have recorded verbatim the fıkralar that they have cited from secret writings as the subject of the crime, and by showing their errors, we hold those who condemned us responsible.
In short: At the end of the decision, they have listed all my crimes as an index for condemning me with a severe punishment, writing: "The matters rejected by Said Nursî: One of them is the rejection of monarchy and caliphate." This is both an error and a mistake. Because, fifteen years ago, I answered the Eskişehir Court that I had written in the book "Ihtiyar Lem’as" that the death of the caliphate monarchy grieved me, and they remained silent. The person who considers an unimportant and old memory, which has passed the time and been pardoned by the amnesty law, as a crime, is himself guilty.
Also, regarding this supposed crime, as if there is a document, I have written in a Lem’a and in "Mu’cizat-ı Ahmediye" (a.s.m.), in a noble hadith:
Indeed, the caliphate after me will last thirty years, then it will become a tyrannical rule, corruption, and oppression 2
That is, after the Rightly Guided Caliphs, corruption will occur. I had written in an old treatise that this hadith indicates three hidden miracles. The decision cites this as one of my crimes, stating: "Said wrote in a treatise: After the caliphate, tyranny and corruption will occur."

The future, that is, the events that he informed about after his death, are numerous and of many kinds. One of them is the supernatural information about the Ahl al-Bayt, the Companions, and the Islamic conquests, which is evident in the Zulfikar, in the section on the miraculous signs of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), where it is stated with authentic narration that he accurately informed about eighty events, for example, the narration of the death of Caliph Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) while reciting the Quran, the martyrdom of Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) in Karbala, the conquests of Damascus, Iran, and Istanbul, the rise of the Abbasid Caliphate, and the defeat and destruction of it by Genghis Khan and Hulagu, all of which are written in detail with authentic narration and based on historical and siyer (biographical) books. Thus, the future, with many other kinds of supernatural information and numerous future events that testify to the truthfulness of Muhammad (peace be upon him), strongly and comprehensively testifies to the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his loyalty.
The ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth testimonies refer to:
"And by the testimony of the Ahl al-Bayt with the strength of their certainties in affirming him to the degree of absolute certainty. And by the Companions with the completeness of their faith in affirming him to the degree of ocular certainty. And by the pious individuals with the strength of their investigations in affirming him to the degree of certain knowledge. And by the elite figures who unanimously agreed on his message through revelation and observation with certainty."
That is, comprehensive testimonies to the loyalty and truthfulness of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

And shortly after that date, the most luminous parts of Risaletü'n-Nur, such as the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.)" and the "Twentieth and Twenty-Fourth Letters," began to appear on the field of dissemination, and at the same time, the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye," which proves the inimitability of the Qur'an in forty ways, and the two parts of the "Tenth Word" about the resurrection were published in "Forty Two (42)" and had extraordinary announcements in "Forty Six (46)." This is a strong indication that this verse has a special reference to it.
Just as these verses point to the composition and dissemination, so too, the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ (the revelation of the Book) coincides with the name Risaletü'n-Nur (with the letter ن being doubled, there is a very slight difference) and metaphorically looks at it and accepts it. Because the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ (the revelation of the Book) is 951, and from the secret point of view of the three differences, it looks at the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur, which is 948.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the secret of these three differences is that the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur is third. That is, it is not a revelation and cannot be. Also, generally, it is not inspiration, but perhaps mostly the impressions and inspirations of the Qur'an that come to the heart through the grace and help of the Qur'an. It is remarkable that in the first حٰمۤ of Surah Al-Mu'min, the verse تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (the revelation of the Book from the Almighty, All-Knowing) has a cipher rank of 1370, which looks toward some important verses. Perhaps in fifteen to twenty years, another light of the Qur'an will appear, or perhaps the Resâili'n-Nur will have a special expansion and new revelations. Since I do not know, I cannot open that door.
TWENTY-FIFTH VERSE: 2 حٰمۤ - تَنْزِيلٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ (This is a sacred verse). The metaphorical meaning of this verse has a very strong connection with the Resâili'n-Nur. One aspect is that the work of Risaletü'n-Nur and his disciples is based on four principles.

My dear, sincere brother and a true companion in the service of the Qur'an, Re'fet Bey; this time the essays you have prepared are very good. They showed me your effort, sincerity, and seriousness, and proved that Re'fet is not lazy. I have corrected and sent them. Then I heard that the person who brought them left them in İslâmköy. I could not find time to write the Third and Fourth Lem'as of the Thirty-First Letter. I fear that, like the secret of "When the help of Allah comes," they may be written too late and not well. Insha'Allah, your eagerness will motivate me. However, these three-month periods are very precious; at a time that can add eighty years to one's life through the secret of Laylat al-Qadr, it seems necessary to be occupied with the best and most beneficial things. Insha'Allah, engaging with Qur'anic issues is like a kind of spiritual and thoughtful reading of the Qur'an. We believe that in the process of preparing and studying these essays, there is worship, knowledge, gnosis, reflection, and the meanings of the Qur'an.
I had the Mu'jizât-ı Ahmediyeyi written for you, and it is now complete. However, since another copy must be written according to it, it will remain here for now. Your letter indicates that Hafız Sezai is seriously connected with us. At one time, I felt in my heart that we would find a sincere and passionate new brother in Isparta, like Ağroslu Zekâi. Insha'Allah, this Sezai will be that person. When I heard of him, I imagined him to be the person I had sensed. If he is as I imagine, that is good; if not, may he strive to be so. If someone wonders what kind of person Zekâi is, there are anecdotes in the Twenty-Seventh Letter that illustrate Zekâi's character and how sincere he is; let them look.
I send much greeting to your father-in-law, Hacı İbrahim Efendi. I consider him a serious and sincere brother in the hereafter. Insha'Allah, he also feels joy from your new efforts and endeavors.
Along with Bedreddin's youth, his growth.

The third part of a single lesson of the Third Yusufi Madrasa
Introduction
As in the second part, which was written with the spiritual command of the Fatiha in prayer and the grace of "I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah," so too the tashahhud in prayer
is also written with the words of "And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," with a spiritual invocation, and at the end of Surah Al-Fath
"He is the One who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions, and Allah is sufficient as a witness. - Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, compassionate among themselves." etc. 4
I was compelled to write the third part of the lesson with the light of the great verse that reveals five hidden miracles, for three reasons which I cannot now explain. I refer the detailed explanation, clarification, and documented evidence to the works "Zülfikar" on the Prophethood of Muhammad, "Mu'jizat-ı Ahmediye," and "Ayetü'l-Kubra" of the Arabi Nurci Order. I will only give a very brief, very short three indications, a summary of the summary of the Arabi Nurci Order, and as a constant recitation of the word of unity that I repeated in the glorification, as a brief treatise written here, as a kind of translation of the parts related to the testimony "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," to be written in the Second and Third Indications.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings forever, everlastingly 3.
This time, through Effendi Süleyman, I am presenting the Twenty-Fifth Word to your noble presence for correction. The commentary on the Qur'an is a masterpiece. Considering the wondrous truths it contains, it is the most important of your noble works. I have read the Miracles of Ahmed. It is a very precious work that elevates the soul to lofty and enlightened states and is very excellent. Indeed, since the greatest of the miracles of Ahmed is the Qur'an, the Book of the Clear Statement, the benefit I have drawn from the transformations and revelations that the commentary on the Qur'an has brought to my soul is very great.
With your work, 4 And nothing dry or wet is there but it is in a clear Book, the noble verse is proven to contain profound and very lofty meanings. The ignorant ones who seek knowledge and wisdom from Europe, neglecting the Qur'an, the Book of the Clear Statement, which is a treasure of truths and the product of their own intellectual achievements, and who are deceived by their intellects, if they would read this magnificent work, filled with great principles and teachings that ensure the happiness of humanity in this world and the hereafter, with a glance of fairness and a mindful awareness, they would awaken very quickly from the state of ignorance they are in. But alas, we are like hens dying of hunger in a wheat granary. While a collection of truths is in our hands, we close our eyes to it and seek help from others.
Whatever I write about the greatness of the commentary on the Qur'an is insufficient. My pen is incapable of describing it. If my pen had the power, I would try to do justice to it; since it does not, I must stop speaking in humility. I kiss your blessed hands with the utmost respect and ask for your prayers and supplications for my steadfastness in the service of the Qur'an, my master.

THE SECOND POINT
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) claimed prophethood, presented the command of the Qur'an, and in the presence of the learned, demonstrated more than a thousand clear miracles. That miracle, in its collective nature, is as certain as the occurrence of the claim of prophethood itself. The Qur'an of the Almighty, in many places, quotes the most stubborn disbelievers, who, when attributing the miracles to sorcery, show that even these most stubborn disbelievers cannot deny the existence and occurrence of the miracles. They only say, out of self-deception or to deceive their followers, "It is sorcery."
Indeed, the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) have a certainty of a hundredfold transmission. A miracle is a confirmation from the Creator of the universe, and it becomes a decisive proof. Just as if you were in the presence and court of a king and said, "The king has appointed me for such and such a task." If you were asked for evidence of that claim, and the king said, "Yes," he would confirm your claim. If the king, in accordance with his custom and condition, changed his attitude and accepted your request, then his "Yes" would be more certain and stronger, confirming your claim.
Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) claimed:
"I am the messenger of the Creator of this universe. My evidence is that I can change the established customs through my prayers and supplications. Look at my fingers; water flows from them like a spring with five fountains. Look at the mountain; with the sign of my finger, it splits into two parts. Look at this tree; it comes to me and testifies to my truth. Look at this small piece of food; although it would be sufficient for only two or three people, it now feeds two or three hundred people."
And similarly, he demonstrated a hundred such miracles.

Dear, sincere brothers; In this time, especially in these days, the disciples of Risale-i Nur need to have complete sincerity, unity, and attention. Praise be to Allah, the heroes of Isparta and its surroundings showed an iron-like sincerity, which became a good example for other places.
O Husrev! I received your influential and beautiful letter. Your taking on the responsibility made us very happy. You have come through thousands of stages. Do not worry about the fact that for this one and a half years, the material pen has not worked. One of the miraculous works of the Ahmediyen, which is the record of your noble pen, is now actively traveling in the eastern provinces in your place. The other copy you wrote last time is also in Istanbul, working in your place, and insha'Allah, it will achieve great success. Think about the good deeds and praises and congratulations you have earned through the two miraculous copies of the Glorious Qur'an you wrote in this area, especially during the Holy Ramadan, and insha'Allah, when they are soon published, the blessings and prayers of mercy from the Islamic world will descend upon your soul.
In Hafiz Ali's letter, his decision to show love and friendship to the teachers in İslâmköy pleased me. Yes, İslâmköy has indeed gained a special status and rank in its great interest in Risale-i Nur; similarly, while I was there, I noticed that the teachers of İslâmköy were more just and appreciative of Risale-i Nur compared to other teachers. Therefore, I consider them a good example against the laziness of the teachers in this area. Insha'Allah, there will be no harm from them. I know İslâmköy like Nurs village; I look at those teachers as relatives and greet them. Yes, I believe that due to their fairness and friendship towards Risale-i Nur, the Nur factory has silently and firmly taken root in that village.
O Sabri brother! May your head be safe. May Allah forgive our mother, Amen. Because of the mark on your fingers, which indicates that you have experienced the burden of kinship, and because you have performed the brotherhood duty more passionately and actively than Abdülmecid for these seven or eight years, certainly your late mother is also my mother. I also include her among my spiritual gains and prayers. May Allah grant you patience—

This miracle, of which more than three hundred of its parts are stated with conclusive evidence in a remarkable and miraculous treatise called the "Ahmediya Miracle" (a.s.m.), the Nineteenth Letter, and referring to them, he said: "A being (a.s.m.) who possesses such noble virtues and perfections and such open miracles is certainly the most truthful speaker. It is impossible for such a being to descend to trickery, falsehood, or deception, which are the works of the wicked."
Second: In his hand is a decree from the Lord of this universe, which has been accepted and affirmed by more than three hundred million people in every century, and that decree, the Glorious Qur'an, is miraculous in seven ways. And that this Qur'an is a miracle in forty ways and that it is the word of the Creator of the universe is detailed with strong evidence in the treatise "The Twenty-Fifth Word and the Qur'anic Miracle," and in a famous treatise which is one of the suns of the Risale-i Nur, and referring to it, he said: "In a being (a.s.m.) who is the translator and announcer of such a decree of truth and reality, falsehood, which is a crime against the decree and a betrayal of its owner, cannot exist and cannot be found."
Third: That being (a.s.m.) emerged with such a Sharia, such an Islam, such worship, such prayers, such an invitation, and such faith that there is no like of them and there never will be. And nothing more perfect than them has been found or will be found. Because the Sharia that appeared in an unlettered being (a.s.m.) has governed ten centuries and the diversity of humanity in a just, equitable, and meticulous manner with countless laws, and this has no equal.
Also, the Islam that emerged from the deeds, sayings, and conditions of an unlettered being (a.s.m.) has, in every century, been the guide and refuge, the teacher and mentor of minds, the illuminator and reformer of hearts, the educator and purifier of souls, and the means of development and progress for the spirits of three hundred million people. Therefore, it has no equal and never will have.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah for His blessings.
One of the chains of miracles of the Risale-i Nur, the Ahmediye miracle and the noble Twenty-Ninth Word and the blessed "Signs of Permission" (İşârâtü’l-İ’câz), is a new miraculous event that occurred in a miraculous and miraculous manner as follows:
At the beginning of this sacred Ramadan, with the doctor's warning and strong symptoms indicating the illness, and with the fever suddenly rising above forty degrees, a severe illness caused by poisoning was diagnosed. At the same time, when our brother Âtıf's condition was as fragile as a grain of wheat, and while the governors were building a dome-like situation, sending coded messages from here to the judiciary, the police, and the provincial administration against the Risale-i Nur, the Ahmediye miracle rushed from Istanbul to help just two hours earlier. While the Twenty-Ninth Word and the blessed "Signs of Permission" were on the table, their gilded covers standing on the table as if they had arrived from Tosya village at the same time, the fear of confiscation and the possibility of more than fifty other books being seized by unclean hands, along with the condition of the illness being too severe to speak, the three blessed books of the Risale-i Nur became a miraculous protection and antidote to the poisoning. This situation, which we witnessed, left us in awe. As if there was no illness at all, we were very strong, even striking hard blows, and that enmity turned into friendship.
The senior officials of the judiciary and the investigation commissioner, who had come for a strong investigation and confiscation, did not touch any of the more than fifty books, only partially listened to the spiritual protection of the miraculousness of those books and were preserved under their spiritual protection. We only gave them the books of "Mudafaaat," the "Sixteenth Letter," and the "Ramazaniye" for reading.
On the third day, when the search and investigation intensified, and a few hours before the political police commissioner and an investigation commissioner arrived, all the books, under the command of the three blessed books, disappeared from view in the center to avoid being taken by the hands. For the whole two hours of that investigation, an Eid greeting from Ankara arrived.

My dear brother; please convey our heartfelt thanks and congratulations to our lawyer Ziya on behalf of the Risale-i Nur. For a long time, it has been impressed upon my spirit that someone named Ziya would render great service to the Risale-i Nur. This matter has shown that this Ziya is indeed that Ziya. He has made us eternally grateful. We thank the court clerk, the honorable Hesnâ Hanım, and the conscientious judge. Please let them know that I will not forget them, especially my dear brothers, the Mufti Osman and Hasan Feyzi. Please convey our greetings and gratitude to them. Also, tell the just judge that I have decided to have most of the cures from the Risale-i Nur printed and given to him as a gift. I also intend to print and give the important part of the Risale-i Nur to the esteemed lawyer Ziya.
I am wondering whether the five hundred printed copies of the Âyetü’l-Kübrâ treatise will be given to those who printed them.
One of them is that all the Risale-i Nur copies that were confiscated in Istanbul belong to me. The collection containing twenty treatises is of great importance to me.
Also, when I was leaving Denizli, I left the treatise on the Miracles of the Ahmediye there with some people, and it is very important to me. Perhaps Hoca Mûsâ Efendi knows about it.
In order to protect the weak or new students of the Risale-i Nur from temptation, I declare that for twenty years, a secret committee, along with some foolish teachers or partisans of bid'ah (innovation), have tried to undermine some unassailable truths of the Risale-i Nur by highlighting my many faults and mistakes (which I admit) and by discrediting me in order to attack the Risale-i Nur. In fact, these attempts have even led to my being arrested twice. Therefore, I declare to my friends and the students of the Risale-i Nur:
I thank the Almighty for not making me like myself and for informing me of my faults. It is not about selling myself or boasting, but perhaps with a sense of humility, the sincere and devoted students of the blessed Risale-i Nur can recognize my sincerity and devotion.

Three or four examples of the beauties of our profession's charm and delight:
First: In the "Iktisat Risalesi," six copies written by six scribes who were unaware of each other, the coincidence of the number of "elifs" in fifty-three instances corresponds exactly to the date of composition and transcription, which is fifty-three. Then I looked and saw with amazement that the original first draft, despite many additions and corrections, preserved the secret of fifty-three.
Second: After the index of the treatises was completely written, the first scribe, without any intention, wrote, "This beautiful index is now complete." That scribe had no knowledge of abjad calculation and had not thought about anything. "This beautiful index is now complete," exactly indicating the date of 1352, which is the date of composition and transcription of the index.
Third: When the Twenty-Third Letter was transcribed from the draft, without remembering the number of "elifs," after writing, it was noted that it was the 128th treatise, so it should have 128 "elifs."
Fourth: Yesterday, while correcting the "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.)," two small coincidences occurred within ten minutes. Here's how: Two pairs of friends were separately correcting the "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye" and the "Mirâc." In the six hundred lines of the "Mirâc," there was only one line mentioning the weeping of a dry pole. In the one hundred fifty pages of the "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye," there was only one page on that subject. Suddenly, the two groups of correctors said the same word at the same time. One of the gentlemen noticed and said, "We are both saying the same word." We looked and found that both corrections coincidentally fell on the same word.
Ten minutes later, while correcting the mention of the seven children who experienced seven miracles, unexpectedly, a blessed child named Meliha, five years old, came and sat before us. The child began to listen with joy to the story of the children. We served tea, but the child did not drink it until the story was over. The four of us present had no doubt left that the "Mu'cizât-ı Ahmediye," as a source of coincidence, demonstrated its miraculous nature in composition, transcription, reading, and in the amazing coincidences.

And shortly after that date, the most luminous parts of Risaletü'n-Nur, such as the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye (a.s.m.)" and the "Twentieth and Twenty-Fourth Letters," began to appear on the field of dissemination, and at the same time, the treatise "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye," which proves the inimitability of the Qur'an in forty ways, and the two parts of the "Tenth Word" about the resurrection were published in "Forty Two (42)" and had extraordinary announcements in "Forty Six (46)" on the same date, which is a strong indication that this verse has a special attention to it.
Just as these verses point to the composition and dissemination, so too, the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ (the revelation of the Book) coincides with the name Risaletü'n-Nur (with the emphatic ن, with a very slight difference) and metaphorically looks at it and accepts it. Because the word تَنْزِيلُ الْكِtَابِ (the revelation of the Book) is 951, and from the secret point of view of the three differences, it looks at the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur, which is 948.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the secret of these three differences is that the rank of Risaletü'n-Nur is third. That is, it is not a revelation and cannot be. Also, generally, it is not inspiration, but perhaps mostly the impressions and inspirations of the Qur'an that come to the heart with the grace and help of the Qur'an. It is remarkable that in the first حٰمۤ of Surah Al-Mu'min, the verse تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللّٰهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (the revelation of the Book from the Almighty, All-Knowing) has a cipher rank of 1370, which looks toward 1370, like some important verses. Perhaps in fifteen to twenty years, another light of the Qur'an will appear, or perhaps the Resâili'n-Nur will have a special unfolding and new revelations, but since I do not know, I cannot open that door.
TWENTY-FIFTH VERSE: 2 حٰمۤ - تَنْزِيلٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ is a sacred verse. The metaphorical meaning of this verse has a very strong connection with the Resâili'n-Nur. One aspect is that the work of Risaletü'n-Nur and his disciples is based on four principles.

It is a letter written to Hüsnü.
In the name of Him, the Exalted - and nothing is there but that it glorifies Him with praise - peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon you and upon your mother and upon your brother and upon your brothers and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. 1
My beloved, blessed, sincere brother,
Firstly: Before beginning the words, the blessed dream you saw two months ago is very beautiful and true. Yes, my brother, you have been appointed to the highest and most beloved rank in a blessed community composed of wheels like yours, which revolves around the interpretation of the truths of the Qur'an, the eternal garden of the Qur'an of the Truthful, the factory of boundless luminous truths named the Rose of Muhammad (a.s.m.). That dream is a sign of this, and we also give this sign.
Secondly: This time, the treatise on the Miracles of Ahmet (a.s.m.) that you wrote to us has impressed us greatly. Whoever looks at it feels a true and genuine pleasure. It is as if spiritual, pure, sincere feelings manifest themselves in the form of material embroidery. When I read this secret, my brother Galip also shared the same feeling. "Yes, there is a spiritual smile beneath this," he said, and he preferred to respond to your handwriting with his own. Through the treatise you wrote, many people strengthen their faith; the love for Ahmet (a.s.m.) increases in their hearts. There is no doubt left about the signs of the unseen. That merit is recorded in your book of good deeds. Besides the words of the Qur'an and the Noble Prophet (a.s.m.), the words you mentioned are very meaningful and also form a foundation. They are a proof of the blessed harmony of those two words. Moreover, they show that even those who do not respect all the harmonies cannot interfere with the harmony of those two words. We believe that you have found or are close to the true line of those treatises.
Thirdly: Since the relationship between us is spiritual, spiritual, and true, time and place do not interfere. When we turn to the Divine Threshold, perhaps several times a day, Hüsnü is present in one direction beside me, and your sweet writing

THE SECOND POINT
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) claimed prophethood, presented the command of the Qur'an, and in the presence of the learned, demonstrated more than a thousand clear miracles. These miracles, in their collective form, are as certain as the occurrence of the claim of prophethood itself. The Qur'an of the Almighty, in many places, quotes the most stubborn disbelievers, who, despite their denial, cannot deny the existence and occurrence of these miracles. They only say, out of self-deception or to deceive their followers, "It is sorcery."
Indeed, the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) have the certainty of a hundred transmissions. A miracle is a confirmation from the Creator of the universe, which becomes a definitive proof. Just as if you were in the presence and court of a king and said, "The king has appointed me for such and such a task." If you were asked for evidence of this claim and the king said, "Yes," he would confirm your claim. If the king, in accordance with your request, changed his custom and situation, then his "Yes" would be more certain and stronger, confirming your claim.
Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) claimed:
"I am the messenger of the Creator of this universe. My evidence is that I can change the established customs through my prayers and supplications. Look at my fingers; I can cause water to flow from them like a spring with five fountains. Look at the mountain; with the sign of my finger, I can split it into two parts. Look at this tree; it comes to me and testifies to my truth. Look at this small piece of food; although it would be sufficient for only two or three people, it is enough to satisfy two or three hundred people."
And so on, he demonstrated a hundred such miracles.

Beloved, sincere, and devoted brothers Re'fet Bey and Hüsrev Effendi; you have become the model and example for many. By the will of the Creator, through your means and with your guidance, those who have entered the service of the Quran will, insha'Allah, have the same amount of good deeds recorded in your book of deeds. This time, I have accepted the gentlemen Hafiz Bekir, Hafiz Tahir, and Hafiz Shukru, whose names you have written, as brothers; may they also strive to become students. Convey my greetings to them. This time, I will tell you two incidents of a kind similar to the miracles of the common believers and which are named as the naming of the Divine:
The first one: One or two of our friends wrote the Nineteenth Letter. In one of them, in the fourth part, except for a few pages, all the salawats (blessings) are aligned with the blessed salawats, except for three or four. I was astonished and marked the signs. In the other, in the second and third parts, except for five or six pages, all the pages have the salawats aligned with each other, and I marked the signs. When I showed it to others, they were also astonished. Those who saw it unanimously decided that, just as in the general Words, the spiritual permission of the Quran reflects in a certain way, in the Nineteenth Letter especially, the miraculous signs of the Prophetic miracles have reflected in the form of blessed salawats. Moreover, those who saw it decided that there is a specific style of handwriting especially for the Words, and particularly for the Nineteenth Letter. If that style is written with care, many strange and beautiful patterns will appear. Every time I advised those who wrote to write "sparsely and beautifully." Now it is understood that, in order to recommend that spiritual handwriting, the true guidance was given to me.
The truth of this matter and the handwriting closest to the spiritual style belongs to the young Hafiz Zuhd and Eshref and Kuleonlu Mustafa, as the harmony and balance in their handwriting is more evident. Every time I saw it; those who wrote carefully also skipped some lines, and wrote some lines without any mistakes.

Who has never been to Nazilli, knows no one there, has cut all ties with politics for forty years, saying "I seek refuge in Allah from the devil and politics," who has dedicated his life to the cause of saving faith solely through the truths of the Qur'an and belief, who is not concerned with worldly matters, who is 87 years old, always in bed, enduring death throes from poisonous diseases, saying "I am at the door of the grave," and who is in great need of peace and rest, to accuse a Muslim author like Said Nursi of such political slanders is a great injustice in many ways. It is a monstrous cruelty. It is a vulgar act of lying.
To falsely attribute prophethood to any religious scholar on any pretext is a direct attack on Islam and a betrayal of the Qur'an.
Our master Said Nursi followed the Sunnah of the Prophets throughout his life and disregarded death penalties to avoid any action contrary to the Sunnah of the Prophets. For the revival of the Sunnah of the Prophets and the preservation of faith, he composed one hundred and thirty works. He fought against cruel enemies of religion and ultimately succeeded.
Yes, one of his works on following the Sunnah of the Ahmediyya has been published in thousands of copies for thirty years. The great book "Mu'jizat-ı Ahmediye," which proves that our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and true prophet, is also available. Given this reality, how far away from truth and justice, and fairness and conscience are those who make such accusations against Said Nursi. Making such an accusation is something even the devils would not think of.
The reason for this incident is likely that the Risale-i Nur provides great benefit to family life and ensures that women live their lives with honor, modesty, and happiness. Therefore, women are greatly attracted to the Risale-i Nur. As an example of this, some articles published by women have been seen by enemies of religion, and they have fabricated some excuses on the account of Bolshevism.
