In His Name, the Sublime, 1
Beloved, sincere brothers; 2 (For every calamity: (Indeed, to Allah we belong, and indeed, to Him we will return. Truly, the deaths of Hafiz Ali, Hafiz Mehmed, and Mehmed Zühtü are not only a great loss to us and Isparta, but perhaps to this country and the Islamic world. However, as a special act of divine favor, whenever a student of the Risale-i Nur has died, two or three others have emerged in that system, so we strongly hope that in another way, the duties of those brave individuals will be carried out by serious and devoted students, who will carry them out. Indeed, those three blessed deceased individuals accomplished in a short time the spiritual duties of a hundred years. May the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, bestow His mercy upon them in accordance with the number of the luminous letters they wrote, published, and read. Ameen.
Convey my condolences to the relatives of Hafiz Mehmed and to his blessed village. I have also made Hafiz Mehmed a companion of Hafiz Ali and Mehmed Zühtü, included the names of these three in the list of my teachers, and also made Hafiz Akif a companion of Asım and Lütfi.

In His Name, the Sublime, 1
Beloved, sincere brothers; 3 The good is in what Allah has chosen. The resolution of this matter is good. Because in all the schools, institutions, and among the people, the affection for that deceased wicked man is being instilled. This situation would have had a very harmful and painful effect on the Islamic world and the future.

We are also doing everything in our power to bring the curtain and prelude of eternal life—death and mortality—before their eyes, to strike them on the head and awaken them, and to help them escape from true responsibility and condemnation, and from eternal and perpetual solitary imprisonment. Even if I were to receive the harshest punishment for the intense letters sent to Ankara, as long as those who punish me are saved from the death penalty through those letters, both my heart and my soul would be content. Thus, we want them to live in both worlds, and we are seeking that. They want us to die, and are looking for excuses. But we are not defeated by them, because we have shown the evident and visible truth of death, like the sun and like a bright daylight. We have shown them thirty thousand funerals of people every day, thirty thousand decrees of eternal execution for the people of misguidance, and thirty thousand decrees of solitary imprisonment. Therefore, no matter what they do! The verse "Indeed, the party of Allah are the victorious" has been foretelling our victory with the same historical date, even during the most pitiful of our defeats, through the calculations of ciphers and abjad, for twelve years now.
Since this is the truth, from now on we will say in court and to the people: "We are trying to escape from the eternal death penalty of death that awaits us before our eyes, and from the perpetual dark solitary imprisonment of the grave, which has opened its door and is calling us with absolute compulsion. We are also helping you escape from that terrible and hopeless calamity. What you consider to be the most important worldly and political issue, in our view and in terms of truth, has very little value, and in fact, it is insignificant and of no importance to those who are not truly responsible. But the essential human duty we are engaged in is something that is always of serious concern to everyone. Those who do not appreciate this duty and oppose it should remove death and close the grave!" The second and third points are postponed for now.

My brothers; Suspicion doubles a calamity and becomes a root to plant the material calamity in the heart. It is like a protest and criticism against destiny and like an accusation against mercy. Since everything has an aspect of beauty and mercy has a veil, and destiny works with justice and wisdom, certainly at this time we are obliged not to pay attention to a slight hardship for the sake of a sacred duty that concerns the entire Islamic world.

I had to write to you about a trivial and unnecessary personal matter. My brothers; I have come to a firm conviction that the evil eye strongly affects and harms me. I have experienced this many times. I wish to be your companion in spirit and soul in every situation, but according to the well-known rule, "the evil eye puts the camel in the pot and the man in the grave," the evil eye affects me. Because whoever looks at me either does so with intense hatred or admiration. Both of these gazes stem from a hidden secret of some people's accurate perception. Therefore, if possible and not forced otherwise, I intend not to come to the court with you at any time.

3 And indeed, nothing but praises Him. 2 In His name, exalted is He.
Dear brothers; In this light, a certain idea was suddenly noticed. Yes, I also confirm the Nuriyan miracle that Husrev wrote in detail about the earthquake, and my conviction is in that center.
