Prelude
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. 1
With the mystery of this noble verse, the wisdom and purpose of sending man to this world is to know the Creator of the universe, to believe in Him and to worship Him. And man's natural duty and inherent responsibility is the knowledge of Allah and belief in Him, and to affirm His oneness and unity with certainty and conviction.
Indeed, for the unfortunate human being, who by nature desires an eternal life and is endowed with countless aspirations and boundless sorrows, the belief in Allah and the knowledge of Allah, which are the foundation and key to eternal life, are superior to other things and perfections in relation to that human being. Perhaps most of them have no value at all.
Since this truth is strongly proven with strong evidence in the Risale-i Nur, we refer this truth to the Risale-i Nur and in this age, we only mention two pillars that shake the certainty of faith and cause hesitation within the Four Questions.
The solution to the first pillar is two issues.
First issue: As detailed and proven in the Thirteenth Lemma of the Thirty-First Letter, in general matters, the value of denial in the face of proof is nonexistent and its strength is very weak. For example, regarding the sighting of the crescent at the beginning of Ramadan, if two witnesses confirm the sighting of the crescent and thousands of scholars and experts say "We did not see it" and deny it, their denials are worthless and powerless. Because in proof, they support each other and there is consensus. In denial, however, even if there are differences, they are insignificant; everyone is left alone, individual. Because the one who proves looks outward and decides according to the external evidence.

It is Sabri's joke.
O Lord of the Sublime, O Master of the Supreme, this time with His graceful and elegant coincidences, He extended His spiritual hand to the luminous travelers and with His index finger said, "We are not just aimless, haphazard things. Rather, we are unique stars of the inimitable celestial book of the Qur'an, which has developed and manifested through perfect balance, true coincidences, and an absolute analogy." Thus, the coincidences and harmonies of the sacred Book, observed as if greeting and responding to each other with spiritual companions on all sides, were also observed in the Tenth Word. The meaningful and wise coincidences and arrangements of this Word seem like the meetings of a few sincere and serious brothers and friends, who are drawn to each other with the utmost sincerity and earnestness. Each verse and word of the Glorious Qur'an, which has taken words and expressions under its control, illuminates them like the stars, which are the boundless electricities of the heavens, and with these subtleties, it leaves the conscious human being, fully included in the description of humanity, amazed and enchanted.
Indeed, it is also a matter of wonder that this blessed Tenth Word, whose subject is the important issue of resurrection, which is connected to and destined for the end of the universe, also demonstrates its final coincidence within the Risale-i Nur, which is itself a coincidence. The Qur'anic rivers, which are the rivers of paradise, surge and flow with various voices, so that the suns of the Qur'an, which rose rapidly and illuminated the needs of the peoples in the age of ignorance and the era of corruption, revived the slumber of the human race, and explained and illuminated it with an eternal and perpetual light. In this age of deviation and despair and the era of innovation and excess, may they be a balm for the wounded souls of the people of faith and unity.
Yes, for the past six or seven years, the blessed community, who have smelled the exquisite and unparalleled flower of Muhammad, and who have seen this beautiful and pleasant scene from the Sura of Kavser, have received their spiritual and mental rewards, by the grace of God and with gratitude. And at this point, my soul was certain that for a long time, the people of faith and unity, like the eternal and unsetting sun of Islam,

In your letter, you mentioned the path of the Twenty-Sixth Word's Zeyl, which I have tried to follow according to the strength of my ability, and which is the way of humility, poverty, compassion, and contemplation. It is a short, Quranic, and luminous path that my beloved and esteemed teacher described, advised, and guided me to. May God willing, I will not deviate from this path. I hope that the duties and tasks entrusted to me under the name of service, which have never ceased, will decrease somewhat this year with your prayers and blessings, so that I can devote myself more to true service. And success comes from God.
