I paid the price of fifty guides for the coin of the unseen, I received it, and I am sending it to you. Also, as a blessed price for that blessed magazine, in exchange for two pots which have been of service to me and which are not very necessary at the moment and which I do not wish to give to others, and for a cotton robe that I have worn for fifteen years and a very blessed book, I received a teapot, a razor that has been in service for twenty-four years, and a sheet that has been serving me for a long time. Now, with the estimation and calculation of Kılıç Ali's father and Ahmed Rasih, the price of the pot is nine liras, the teapot is nine liras, the razor is nine liras, the cotton robe, the sheet, two hand towels, one undershirt, and a cotton shirt are estimated to total 125 liras. Those present valued this price. I gave a lower price; I say this price is too high. Greetings to all. • • •

Beloved, sincere brothers; First: I received fifty banknotes from the publishers of one hundred copies of Asa-i Musa from the Guide and gave them to them from my own copies. I sent you in place of the remaining sixty banknotes from the last price of Asa-i Musa that you sent me. You can send twenty to thirty of them to the Medresetü'z-Zehra and to places like Denizli, Milas, Burdur, Antalya, Aydın, and İzmir in the amount you have distributed. The real and important price of this is that the person who receives it at least teaches it to ten people. Because the number of copies is small. Second: I liked your defense in the court, it is good. It is good to delay until the 22nd of Teşrin. Anyway, the part they have is shares of official people in one aspect, let them read. Even if they don't read, the fact that they are located in their offices nearby and that they are occupied with their real duties, they are taking spiritual lessons, don't worry at all. The development and discoveries of the Lights are increasing, and they are including many official people. A kind of anxiety has fallen upon the official officials, they are looking for them. When they find them, they kiss their hands even though they have been beaten. Third: The letters from the heroes of small Isparta, Küçük İbrahim and Salih, made me extremely happy. A thousand praises to Allah! Our two brothers, in addition to visiting our important brothers in that region and writing about their health and safety, also wrote that places like Ordu, Sinop, Gerze, Ayancık, Bartın, Zonguldak on the Black Sea coast are adorned with Lights, and that Nurcü preachers in Üsküdar side of Istanbul are working for Nur. We received a beautiful letter from a new brother of ours who is very eager for Nur, has made a serious commitment to work for Nur, and is engaged in important trade from Gerze. We greet Ibrahim and Salih and that person with our warm greetings and pray for their success. Fourth: Our active brother, the imam of Alamescid, Ibrahim Edhem, found the preacher Ali Senturk and the preacher Osman Nuri as true Nurcü in his own system. They have been accepted into the circle of sincere and selfless and determined students in the service of Nur, as desired in their sincere and selfless and determined letters. May Allah

Beloved, sincere, and thoughtful brothers; First of all, I have become absolutely convinced by many clear signs that the reason the hidden atheists have falsely accused the confidential great writings of Nur of only being the source of the Guide, and have been troubling me for more than a year and a half, is definitely the "Hüve Point" in the Guide. Because the secret of unity that Hüve discovered very clearly and evidently shatters absolute disbelief. Indeed, in some parts, it leaves no room for temptation or doubt. Since the hidden atheists could not find a solution to this, they tried to prevent its spread by imposing an official ban. I am informing you of only three points from many points I mentioned to the members of Medresetü'z-Zehra about this Hüve Point one day earlier in a kind of lesson. First point: The important and significant role of the air element. Through the secret of the verse "To Him ascends the good word," the beautiful, meaningful, believing, and truthful words spread by the stylus of destiny and with the permission of God, and the role of the air sphere is to inform all the angels and spiritual beings in the air sphere and to convey them to the direction of the Great Throne. It is the changing manuscript of the divine power's pen. Since the sacred duty of air, the wisdom of the veil, is the most important. And by turning the earthly wind into a single distance through radios, it is a great divine blessing for humanity. Of course, of course, humanity should first thank this great blessing by using radios for the good words of the Word of God, especially the lessons of the Holy Qur'an and its truths, faith, and good morals, and words related to the necessary and essential interests of humanity, so that it can be a thanksgiving for that blessing. Otherwise, if such a blessing is not thanked, it will be harmful to humanity. Yes, humanity needs not only the truth but also some pleasant desires. However, these pleasant desires should be only one-fifth. Otherwise, they contradict the wisdom of the air. Also, they cause laziness and ignorance in humanity and neglect of necessary duties, which is harmful to humanity.

Third: To strive for the cure of the heart's ailments through the path of Sufism is to walk with the feet of the heart. The first is obligatory, the second is necessary, and this third is considered a Sunnah. Since the truth is thus, I believe that if esteemed figures such as Sheikh Abdulqadir Gilani (may God be pleased with him), Shah-i Nakshband (may God be pleased with him), and Imam-i Rabbani (may God be pleased with him) were in this age, they would devote all their efforts to strengthening the truths of faith and the principles of Islam. For these are the means to eternal happiness. If there is a flaw in them, it leads to eternal misguidance. A non-believer cannot enter Paradise; but many who lack Sufism do enter Paradise. A person without bread cannot live, but one without fruit can. Sufism is the fruit, and the truths of Islam are the nourishment. In the past, it took a journey and practice lasting from forty days to forty years to reach certain truths of faith. Now, by the mercy of God, a path has been found that can lead to those truths in forty minutes. To ignore such a path is certainly not wise. These thirty-three Words are opening a Quranic path, and those who read them carefully can discern this. Since this is the truth, I believe that the Words written on the mysteries of the Quran are the most suitable remedy, balm, and healing for the wounds of this age, and for the Muslim community suffering from the darkness of ignorance, they are the most beneficial light, and for those who are amazed and lost in the valleys of misguidance, they are the most correct guide. You know that if misguidance comes from ignorance, its cure is easy. But if misguidance comes from knowledge and learning, its cure is difficult. In the past, the second type was found in one out of a thousand. Of those found, only one in a thousand could be guided back to the right path. Because such people consider themselves wise, yet they do not know and think they do. I believe that God, in this age, has made the known Words, which are spiritual effects of the Quran's authorization, act as an antidote to this age's poison of misguidance. 1. The Everlasting is the Everlasting Said Nursî

Dear, sincere brother Refet Bey; for the honor of the Holy Qur’an, for the sake of your love for the Qur’an, and for the honor of your twenty years of service to faith with the Lights, give up and refrain from quarreling with each other and from causing enmity, which is like lighting fire to gunpowder, and which is a great help to the hidden hypocrites who are secretly trying to destroy us, and who are small in appearance but very dangerous and cruel in their nature. Otherwise, it is very likely that even a small personal right will cause great damage to us, to the service of the Qur’an, and to faith. I assure you with my soul that even if one of you were to insult me greatly and completely trample on my dignity, yet if he does not abandon the service of the Qur’an, of faith, and of the Lights, I would forgive him, reconcile with him, and try not to be angry. Since you know that our enemies are trying to take advantage of a petty quarrel, quickly make peace. Give up senseless and very harmful enmity. Otherwise, some of us, like Semsi, Shefik, and Tevfik, may be drawn to the adversaries and cause great damage and a serious defect to our service of faith. Since the Divine Providence has so far given much more than the loss in that system, I hope Allah will again come to our aid. Said Nursî • • • Dear, sincere brothers; the Director has greatly appreciated the "Ayat al-Kabir" and the "Guide." Now he wants the "Asa al-Musa" and the "Zulfiqar." I have also promised, "I will bring it to you." If they are available here in Afyon, order one "Asa al-Musa," one large and bound "Zulfiqar," one "Guide," and one "Ayat al-Kabir." Said Nursî • • •

In His Name, the Sublime, 1 Beloved, sincere brothers; for two or three times, a significant spiritual condition has been appearing to me. It is similar to the spiritual revolutions that thirty years ago in Istanbul, took me to Mount Yûşâ, made me leave behind the attractive social life of Istanbul and the House of Wisdom, and even did not allow me to take with me the first and brave disciple of Nur, the late Abdurrahman, who was necessary for my service, and showed the nature of the new Said. Now, the beginning of such a spiritual revolution has started in me. I think it is a sign of the emergence of a third Said and the entire world path. Therefore, the Lights and their brave disciples will carry out my duties; there is no need for me anymore. Indeed, each congregation and each unwavering, pure disciple of Nur teaches better than I do. Said Nursî • • • In His Name, the Sublime, 1 First: I think, from some signs, that they are paying the most attention to the Guide among our published collections. I believe that the Point of "Hu" has broken the legs of our hidden Zindik enemies and has scattered the nature-taagût upon which they rely. While it could hide to some extent in the rough land, in the clear air, after the Point of "Hu," there is no possibility left to hide that taagût in any direction, which they are misleading the judiciary with excuses of disbelief and stubbornness and directing it against us. God willing, the Lights will turn the judiciary in our favor and will also prevent this attack. Second: At this time, both the Ehl-i Sünnet newspaper, and this place's newspaper, and Zübeyir's enthusiastic opposition, have become a good announcement of their dealings with the Lights. Please look at the topics about us that suit me, and inform me. Said Nursî • • •

Rabian: I had given the introduction of Taşköprülü Sadık Bey to Sabri for publication. If it has been written, the revised piece will be sent to him. Please send me a newly written copy. I also have a copy of Sadık's poem; if you don't have one, I will send it to you. Said Nursî • • • Dear, sincere brothers; Firstly: I congratulate you and your imprisoned friends on your holiday. I consider those who greet you as if they have greeted me. Know and inform that I have personally visited you for the holiday. Secondly: The news we received about the iron stove breaking without cause, and we too, taking full precautions and caution based on that sign, the storm passed, the gunpowder did not ignite. Now again, the fact that my matara has been shattered into tiny pieces without cause in an extraordinary way, is informing us that we must once again take full caution, prudence, and precaution. I received a spiritual warning, and hidden hypocrites are trying to use prayerless, immoral people and apostate communists against the pious; indeed, they have even extended their fingers here. A Small Note: Yesterday, there was a sense of joy and happiness in my heart. Suddenly, I looked and saw that my brother in Nurs had sent me the honey of Nurs in a matara eight months ago to Emirdağ. Yesterday, it also arrived from Emirdağ. "Quickly bring it to me," I said. I waited, but it did not come. That joy turned into anger. Because of the precious matara of honey that I had kept with me for about a hundred mataras, being given to wild hands and sent to the market, that matara suddenly broke. For forty-eight years, I had not tasted the honey of my village Nurs, which is a symbol of my family's honor. I sent a small amount so that each of my brothers could taste a piece of that sweet honey as a holiday treat. Said Nursî • • •

They are a pair of officials with Hüseyin Avni and Tahsin Tola. We, the disciples of Nur, have no connection with politics, as we are engaged in the service and profession of our Master. However, since the Democrats allowed the dissemination of Nur's teachings and have not committed the oppression against Nur's prohibition from the past, we have some connection with the elections for the sake of the Democrats. Again, as in the previous election, the benefit of the Nur movement greatly favored the Democrats. The former attorney Hüseyin Avni and Tahsin Tola, the mayor of Senirkent, who should have won more than anyone else for the benefit of our Master and the Nur movement, did not win, which greatly distressed us. We told our Master about this. He said to us: "Do not be distressed. I should also congratulate them along with you. Because, in the span of two years, the fact that the Supreme Leader, without our Master's request, issued an order to return the two hundred confiscated Guides to us at the very moment he wished to be released, allowing two hundred thousand people to benefit from the Guide and pray for him; and the important work of Tahsin Tola, which led to the official publication of the Collection of Sayings in Ankara—this brought as much benefit to the community, the Democrats, and this country and nation as a hundred years of service as a mayor. Now, this spiritual, real, and especially lasting and eternal profit is sufficient for them. It is not appropriate to use their lasting service, like a precious diamond, as a tool for a few years of office and mayoralty, which are like fragile glass. Therefore, I congratulate them. You also should congratulate them and pray for them. In fact, I even wished for Tahsin Tola to be re-elected mayor so that he could continue to serve the Nurlar; but his previous service is considered sufficient. The door has already been opened, and there is no further need." From the Nur students: Mehmet Kaya, Hüseyn, Tahir, Sungur, Zubeyir, Celal, Bayram Note: Our Master said: "Since he is not a mayor in terms of worldly matters, he lost a certain amount of banknotes each month. Now, with his service and the publication of the Collection of Sayings, if I needed something for myself among millions of people, I would not need even fifty thousand liras."

Yes, in that terrible era when atheism reigned supreme, people of faith were being persecuted. Even the idea of completely abolishing the Qur'an and entirely eradicating religious beliefs, as in Russia, was considered; but when it was argued that such a move might not yield the desired results among the Muslim nation, they gave up on it and only decided: "The youth educated through the new teaching methods we will implement in schools will abolish the Qur'an, and in this way, the nation's connection with Islam will be severed." The sources of this terrible and terrifying plan, which aimed to overturn the current religious development, were the leaders and followers of the external atheistic currents that are now the rivals and enemies of the current religious progress. Yes, we leave the detailed analysis of the inner workings and the true nature of that terrible event, which occurred within the Turkish nation, to the honest historians of the future and to the Islamic-Turkish editors who are now somewhat revealing it under the freedom of the Democratic administration. Our duty is solely and exclusively to deal with the truths of faith and the Qur'an. We are solely and exclusively part of the current of faith and Islam. Yes, during the most turbulent periods of that deviation and heresy, Bediüzzaman Said Nursî was under constant surveillance and suspicion, and in such a terrible and numerous harsh conditions. The kind of oppression that the Nimrods, Pharaohs, Shaddads, and Yazids could not achieve was inflicted upon Bediüzzaman. And this continued for twenty-five years. At that time, the Islamic world was materially poor and in the bondage of the occupiers. All the secret corrupt and atheistic committees were carrying out tremendous activities both in Turkey and in the Islamic world, and their supporters were backing them, and all of them were united against Islam. Indeed, the Risale-i Nur is the product of an era that, like the importance of the battles of Badr and Uhud in the Age of Bliss, which were the keys to the conquest of the world by Islam, holds a significant value. The service to faith and the spiritual religious struggle it carried out is of a grandeur that has never been seen in any era in history since the Age of Bliss. It was as if their hands and feet were bound.

Thus, these luminous hearts, which are each a small throne of divine knowledge and a collective ritual of eternity, are the windows opened toward the sun of truth; and altogether, like a sea reflecting the sun, they form a great ritual. Their agreement and consensus in existence and unity are an impeccable guide and a supreme mentor. Because there is no possibility, no chance, and no probability that any idea other than truth, any false notion, or any baseless attribute, could so persistently and clearly deceive and mislead all these great and sharp eyes at once. Whoever entertains such a possibility has a corrupted and decayed mind; even the foolish sophists who deny this universe would reject and disapprove of it. With their own minds and hearts, they say, "I believe in Allah." This is a brief indication of the knowledge of faith, which this traveler derives from upright minds and enlightened hearts, in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Ranks of the First Station: There is none worthy of worship except Allah, the Necessary Being whose necessity in His unity is indicated by the consensus of upright and enlightened minds, through their consistent beliefs and convictions, and their identical certainties, despite differing preparations and schools of thought. Likewise, the agreement of sound and luminous hearts, through their identical revelations and harmonious observations, despite differing paths and inclinations, also indicates His necessity in His unity.

In the Name of Him, the Sublime, 1 Beloved, sincere brothers; I received a call to write two strange and delicate, apparently small but actually important incidents within two hours. First: I read to the two promising students of Nur the issue that had been mentioned to me by the Guide on the Night of Power. At the end, when I said, "In five or ten years, the scholars of the madrasa attain their academic degrees, while the disciples of Nur achieve the same in ten weeks," at that very moment, it came to my heart: Just as the old Said, when he was fifteen years old, was able to study in fifteen years the knowledge that is studied in fifteen years according to the madrasa system, and with Divine favor, he succeeded in studying it in fifteen weeks, so too, with the mercy of the Lord, the Risale-i Nur, in terms of true knowledge and faith, which would have taken fifteen years in this era without madrasas, is sufficient in fifteen weeks. Indeed, in these fifteen years, perhaps fifteen thousand people have confirmed this with their own experiences. Second: At the same time, our heavy window, for no apparent reason, fell onto our plates and glasses and food. We thought that all the glasses and all the bottles and glasses would break and the food inside them would be lost. But miraculously, not a single break or loss occurred. Only the meat that had been gifted to me and cooked fell out. However, since it was the destiny of Nur's new promising students, I preserved my rule of not accepting gifts and this second incident, with its miracle, confirmed and signed the first incident.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. In the name of the Sublime. Beloved, sincere, fortunate, faithful, active, and persevering brothers; First of all, we congratulate you again on your Sacred Month of Rajab and your Night of Regaib, and in return for the congratulations of our brothers from Safranbolu, we also congratulate them on their blessed months and their four blessed nights and their very serious connection with the Lights. And in the congratulatory letter written on behalf of their disciples, I wanted to convert the titles and praises given to my very faulty self, like some of the letters of Khalil Ibrahım, into the Risale-i Nur with some modifications and include them in the Addendum; but since the subject was made very clearly about myself, I could not find it suitable, so for now it remains postponed. Brothers, know for certain: I am afraid of and avoid glory, honor, vanity, self-confidence, and the desire to be liked. I do not like praises about myself. Only for the sake of showing loyalty and conviction towards the Risale-i Nur, I partially accept and remain silent about some expressions, either out of memory or to avoid hurting their good intentions. However, the two Lem’as of sincerity and the principles of our profession—“hıllet” (purity), “ihlâs” (sincerity), and “uhuvvet” (selflessness)—do not allow such praises. Moreover, in this age of self-centeredness and fame-seekers, such things could harm the purity and authenticity of the Nurlar (Lights). Secondly, the writings of Hıfzı’s two innocent ones, Asâ-yı Mûsâ, Rehber, and Küçük Sözler have made us very happy. A hundred times alhamdulillah! Such thousands of innocent Nurcu (followers of the Light) will illuminate the future. Said Nursî • • •

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings forever, always, by His glory. Beloved, sincere, steadfast, persevering, and selfless brothers; First of all: I heartily congratulate you with my soul and spirit on those blessed nights and your festival, and I ask for your prayers for the cure of my severe illness. Secondly: With the idea of partiality towards the luminous revelations, some secret non-believers are using a number of official officials as tools, linking them with arbitrary laws. And they are trying to give some false revelations to a small number of the true followers of Nur. In short, during these blessed days, they sent me from Istanbul a report titled HAŞİYE by the so-called "people of knowledge," written with an atheistic bias about the Guide. Due to my severe and complicated illness, I entrust you to respond to them. This work, written twelve years ago, witnessed blessings and absolutions, passed through five courts and was rejected each time, returned, and provided harmless benefits to ten thousand people, especially the youth, and proved to be of great benefit to this country in my great defense, including its appendices. The Medresetü'z-Zehra and its branches, in order to silence those "people of knowledge," committed complete lawlessness under the name of law, committed terrible oppression against justice in the judiciary, and claimed that the Guide could be used as an instrument for religious politics. In response to these statements, I entrust the task of proving with evidence that those "ignorant people of knowledge" wanted to use politics and judicial duties as instruments for atheism to those Nurci brothers. The Everlasting is the Everlasting. Your sick brother, Said Nursî • • •

To the Medical Council: As it was written at the beginning of the Guide fifteen years ago, some young people came to me for the preservation of their worldly and spiritual lives. I also gave them that course on the Guide for the sake of Allah. That treatise, except for a couple of footnotes, was in the hands of the Isparta government, the Denizli Court, and the Ankara High Court and Appeals Court for two years, and as a result, it was acquitted and returned completely, including the Guide, and a copy of it came into the hands of the Director of the Ankara Police Department. As it was written at the beginning of the Guide, when one reads the sentence that follows the single word mentioned, one understands the truth and does not hinder its dissemination. Even though thousands of copies were distributed, no harm or objection was seen anywhere. Indeed, in the district of Tarsus in Mersin, a few Nur books, including the Guide for Youth, were confiscated and sent to Ankara for investigation. After the investigation, the governor issued an official document stating that it was completely free. When it was submitted to Istanbul, it was sent to five or six legal authorities by law and remained in their hands for five or six months, yet no connection was made. This proves the importance of the Guide and its legal freedom. Later, more than a thousand young people used it in the schools of Ankara and other provinces for the benefit of the country, the nation, and morality, and no one suffered any harm. Suddenly, they created a criminal issue based on a couple of words without any responsible context, for example, by giving it the title "Guide for Youth." One of them, who had not even published the author's work, while the author was himself a poor and sickly person in bed, and while the youth had published it, created a criminal issue by claiming it was written to gain personal influence, and instead of punishing the one who published it, they sentenced the author to a heavy punishment and forced him to come there, even though it was written fifteen years ago and had already been acquitted by the amnesty law and the passage of time. Therefore, based on such an illegal and unjust act, they are now targeting the author so harshly without any legal basis. I say: This is an illegal act in ten ways, and such an unjust and cruel treatment of my illness at a time when I have no power.

Can a man who has ten treasures be held responsible for a supposed, baseless flaw in a work that is worth a hundred thousand treasures, without even considering a small mistake? No, in this world, can any law that touches social life accuse someone of such a condition? The element of guilt that the non-experts, who lack knowledge of Islamic sciences and religion, have pointed out regarding that work is: First: "It is contrary to laicism; it uses religion as a tool for politics." However, the author has abandoned politics for thirty-five years, has not read a newspaper, and always tells his disciples, "Do not engage in politics," which completely negates this element of guilt. Second: "Supporting religious education" has been presented as a crime. We say in response: In the world, there is no believing person who would call this a crime. Especially, he gave lessons to the prisoners as a form of comfort. He expressed his support for religious education at that time. This, however, shows that this statement is entirely meaningless. Indeed, the reform of three hundred prisoners within a short time through the Risale-i Nur, their repentance from crimes, and their performance of prayers attracted the attention of the relevant officials. Some of these officials said: "The benefit of fifteen years in prison is equal to the benefit of fifteen weeks of the Risale-i Nur." They said this to the author of the Guide in prison. The author also said: The Risale-i Nur, consisting of one hundred and thirty books, and the Guide, which is only a small part of it, if not entirely, will certainly benefit a person who reads it as much as studying in a madrasa for fifteen years, reform their character, and repent from their evils. Can such a hope, encouragement, and even those who put me in prison have confirmed it, be considered a crime? Third: It is claimed as a crime that "he supports Islamic modesty and Islamic education." This was already addressed in the court decision of Afyon's court, as well as in the decisions of the courts in Eskişehir, Denizli, and Afyon. Fifteen years ago, the court in Eskişehir had brought a case against me for supporting modesty. I had responded to both the court and the Court of Cassation as follows: "Thousand

Here, my brothers, truly today, I read the Münâcât at the beginning of Siracü'n-Nur with the intention of correcting it. Since my power of memory had completely faded, suddenly, with regard to the truths of that Münâcât, I felt as if I had just come into this world at the age of eighty, not knowing the customs and habits, and those well-known customs could not hide from me. I read it with full enthusiasm and benefit. I found it very wonderful. And I realized that my secret enemies have deceived some official officials and are trying to confiscate the end of Siracü'n-Nur, using it as an excuse, and thus prevent the dissemination of the Münâcât at the beginning. Like the Hüve Nüktesi in the Rehber, this Münâcât is also one of the reasons for the attacks on Siracü'n-Nur by the godless. Salisen: We joyfully announce to you with all our soul and spirit that through the complete sincerity, true loyalty, and unshakable support of the Nur followers, all the misfortunes that have befallen us have been transformed into great blessings in our religious service and have become the hidden achievements of Nur, which no thought or imagination could foresee. For example, I had to give a hundred banknotes for the car to come from Isparta here, that is, to Istanbul for the court. I assure you that if I had to give two thousand banknotes only for this matter, only for the Rehber, and only for my personal service, I would still consider it cheap. The results that are common to all should also be compared to this. 4 The Everlasting is the Everlasting Your sick brother in need of your prayers Said Nursî • • •
