It is Sabri's letter.
This time, I bought and read the Fourth Part of the Index of the Book of the Manifest, which contains a summary of the Book of the Manifest, together with the selected chapters of the Manifest Book. I offered countless prayers to its author, scribe, publisher, and assistants. Indeed, within the two hours I spent reading, I felt as if I had benefited and been enlightened by reading the entirety of the Letters of Light and the Epistles of Light. And I said: As indicated in your generous letters, we should not limit ourselves to four copies, but rather, for a few months, and preferably for each duty, we should strive to revise and publish the Index.
Since our aim is to spread the truths of the Qur'an, this blessed and precious work is the essence and summary of the Qur'anic truths, and if it is permissible to say so, it is a complete distillation and the key to success and the lamp of victories.
My beloved master; from the beginning, as you have created these precious works with divine inspiration, you have also included this imperfect student as a recipient and have sent and explained each work to me. However, at that time, due to my unintentional state of being in darkness in front of the light, the curtain between me and the lights had not opened. Now, thanks to the weakening of those negative, opposing, and destructive currents, the doors to the infinite lights of the Qur'an have opened, praise be to Allah. I am once again reading and writing the scattered works that were spread during those times of darkness.
Describing the value of these treatises and the blessings and grace they bestow is beyond the capacity of speech and writing. To truly appreciate and understand these blessed and sacred revelations and signs of the Qur'an, one must be a true guide of the Qur'an. For all the words and expressions in these treasures of true life and eternal knowledge are unique and original in every aspect, encompassing perfection, eloquence, and majesty, and are full of awe and wonder, and are a special and unique artistry of the Beautiful and the Wise.
In short: This

Dear Esteemed Master; I am presenting the thirty-second word, composed of three verses that I was able to write this time, for your review and correction. Is it necessary to mention that I believe this book is a hidden treasure in my humble opinion? Those who claim that the world cannot be measured and that the human mind is an immeasurable land have spoken truly! At this point, my thought is a result of the gradual development of my ideas and the expansion of my limited imagination. It is not my intention to explain that the world is an immeasurable void and the human mind is boundless. Thus, from each treatise, my soul draws its own nourishment. Is it not the pure serenity and eternal joy that the thirty-second word has bestowed upon my heart and soul that causes me to trouble you with this long letter to express my joy? In short, I am content with my life in a sweet serenity. May God willing, with the power of your prayers, I will reach eternal life in such a legitimate serenity, God willing.
Ahmed Zekâi

It is a joke by Husrev.
My esteemed and beloved Master; we have read the third part of the Twenty-Ninth Letter. The letter's eloquence stirred us all with excitement and filled our hearts with joy. On one hand, with the sparks from some verses of the Holy Qur'an, it dares to challenge the materialists and their like-minded groups who have closed their eyes to reason, striking their heads with the truths of the Nur Epistles and the Risalat al-Nur, and on the other hand, it fills their hearts with very bright rays.
Not eighteen thousand, but as my beloved Master has commanded, twenty-eight thousand, those who look upon the great Divine Criterion, some important points of whose aspects look not only to this age but also to the coming ages, and the coincidences occurring in the words of Allah, which are striking and eye-catching in form, and the meaningful coincidences in some words, which manifest their beauty—regarding these, I join my Master's views, not being worthy of it, yet with the strength and courage I have received from my Master. I declare, with humility, that I am ready for any sacrifice in writing such a noble Qur'an, which fills me from head to toe with this spiritual joy. Moreover, I say that I very much wish to write and present a noble Qur'an by my own hand for my beloved Master in the desired manner. However, I could not consider the necessity of the matter. Also, because my other brothers would be deprived of this honor, I cannot insist on the acceptance of this idea and this wish.
Yes, my beloved Master, may God will it, the time has come close. May God will it, we have also reached the destined time. Now the reason is that the decision of the pious predecessors not to add anything to the Qur'an as a commentary belongs to their time, and the support of the later scholars is considered to stem from the idea that the study of the Arabic language was not pursued. Therefore, we are in a time when the Arabic language is not desired to be read or written. Therefore, regarding the thoughts of my beloved Master on the Qur'an, a very great

It is a joke by Sabri.
O Esteemed Master! The seventh issue of the Twenty-Eighth Letter, presented with the permission of the learned ones, has timely revealed its form. This blessed work, while being a kind of chronicle of Risâlâtü'n-Nur and Mektubâtü'n-Nur, is also seen as a kind of register and decisive evidence of the pure and luminous works. Moreover, it has now brought to the surface many specialized matters that had been specially and securely stored in my mind for three years. Indeed, it is from these issues and similar ones that one understands the degree of sacredness, sublimity, and luminosity of the Glorious Qur'an, which contains such spiritual gems and treasures.
Yes, it must be admitted that even if a treasure of jewels is as rich and possesses as high a value as possible, if the seller or the merchant is not familiar with the principles of trade and commerce, he cannot properly present and display the valuable goods contained in the treasure to the public. Therefore, in this troubled age, the Qur'anic merchant who has been calling the people of Islam for not just six years but perhaps forty years, with the divine command,
"O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful punishment?" (1)
has been and continues to be a source of gratitude and relief for the community of Muhammad, which is in need of spiritual enlightenment.
