While I was greatly affected by the harm caused by many accusers and to the Nurlar, a divine providence came to our aid. I began to read with great eagerness and attention those important treatises, which were hidden and needed by the people in power, and the great official institutions practically became a Nuri school.
They began to appreciate with critical thinking. Indeed, in Denizli, without our knowledge, under extraordinary secrecy, many people, both official and unofficial, read the printed Âyetü’l-Kübrâ, strengthened their faith, and reduced our imprisonment to nothing.
Then they took us to the Denizli prison. They put me in a small, damp, cold cell in complete isolation. While I was writhing in great sorrow due to old age, illness, and the sufferings of my innocent companions, and in great regret and distress from the suspension and cancellation of the Nurlar, suddenly a divine providence came to our aid.
Suddenly, they turned that large prison into a Nuri school and proved it to be a Yusufi medrese (a.s.). The heroes of Medresetü’z-Zehrâ began to spread the Nurlar with their diamond-like pens. Indeed, in those difficult conditions, the hero of the Nurlar wrote more than twenty treatises from the Fruits and Defense series in three or four months. They began to make progress both inside and outside the prison. Our loss in that hardship turned into great benefits, and our sorrows into joy.
1 Perhaps you dislike something, yet it is good for you, it revealed the secret again.
Then, based on the first group of knowledgeable people's erroneous and superficial records, they made strong criticisms against us, and together with the fierce attacks of the Minister of Education, they even issued a statement against us, and even tried to execute some of us with certain news. At that time, a divine providence came to our aid.
While we were expecting the strong criticisms of the Ankara group of knowledgeable people, the appreciative reports, even though they found five or ten errors in five boxes of Nuri treatises, in court the points they indicated as errors and mistakes were found to be the truth, and the matters they called errors and mistakes were found to be their own errors.

In the Name of the One (whose praise the seven heavens and the earth and all within them recite, and nothing exists but it praises Him), peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you in the number of the letters of the written, read, and represented epistles of light in the air until the Day of Resurrection, Ameen.
Beloved, sincere, blessed brothers and sisters, and devoted and strong and noble companions in the service of the Qur'anic and religious cause,
I praise and thank the Almighty without limit for confirming my hope in the Epistle of the Elders and my claim in the Epistle of Defense through you.
Yes, praise be to Allah in the number of the atoms from eternity to eternity, you have bestowed thirty Abdurrahman's corresponding to thirty thousand, perhaps one hundred and thirty, perhaps one thousand and thirty Abdurrahman's upon the Risaletü'n-Nur. And since I see that my brothers, who are unforgettable and always with me, and who are as serious as you in their ownership, guardianship, inheritance, and understanding of the truth, are working in the Qur'anic and religious service more powerfully and sincerely than I, I meet my death, my grave, and my time with utmost joy, happiness, and peace of heart.
I see you many times a day in your writings and in your merits that never leave my mind. And I find satisfaction in my longing for you. You can also see and converse with this poor brother of yours in the epistles. For the people of truth, time and place are no barriers; the spiritual radio connects them. One may be in the east, another in the west, one in the world, another in the hereafter, yet the Qur'anic and religious connection converses between them.
Indeed, Allah has blessed and praised, "The Miracles of the Alevi Pen," whose signature on the Risaletü'n-Nur has now been fully confirmed by the miraculous Alevi (Ali) pen, and the Hüsrevi pen, which is a golden key to the Qur'an, and which has shown the incredible miracle of the Ahmedi (a.s.m.) and rendered great service to the Qur'an, is not only pleasing us but perhaps even the spiritual leaders and angels.
This time, there is a question from the blessed ones with diamond pens. For now,

First: I would not have sent anything to Ankara and made a request in order to prevent the prolongation of my release. However, since the court sent to Ankara a mixture of confidential and non-confidential documents, old and new letters, I was forced to send to that court the Defense Treatise, which gives a very strong response to the accusations against the fifth letter regarding the false messiah, and the Fruit Treatise, which refutes the arrogant disbelief and the reckless transgressions against faith, as it was necessary and essential to send these to that court in order to prevent the people of knowledge there from ruling against us as the people of knowledge here do, by taking the confidential documents as a basis.
Second Point: My dear brothers, while I was writing the reply to your important letter, they gave me the same letter. I started the Second Point and stopped. Now I am completing it, please pay attention. If there is any advantage to this idea, then it is certainly a precaution taken by those who support our condemnation, that the people of knowledge in Ankara, like the people of knowledge here, take the confidential documents, especially the fifth letter, as a basis, include all the Treatises of Light and suppress them, and that the issues of the fifth letter are considered as lessons for all the poor students who read the Treatises of Light, and that they tie them completely to my supposed guilt, which is a terrible plan. The idea of preventing me from speaking and sending my writings to Ankara for suppression is a strong indication that the court is trying to issue a ruling against us before the irrefutable answers of the defense have arrived.
Third Point: The court president said that day that he would send important books and documents and even the defenses to Ankara. Of course, they have now arrived. If now my two regular and detailed defenses do not go there, perhaps the matter will be resolved quickly, the issue will not be prolonged, and the time will be shortened; the families will be freed quickly. However, I and others like me, who are not directly involved, should not be freed, but rather remain in the most suitable place, the prison, in order to defend the truths of faith against the infidels and apostates.
