Risale

In other words, according to authentic narrations and in part through consensus, recorded and accepted in historical, siyer, and hadith books, and based on the detailed explanation of the strongest and most certain part of those thousands of announcements in the treatise "Mu'jizat-ı Ahmediye," the prophets, sages, and seers of the past, especially the prophets, unanimously foretold the prophethood and future of Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a very clear and repeated manner. We refer to this and briefly state: The prophets mentioned in the sacred and heavenly books, such as the Torah, Gospel, and Psalms, wrote about the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) in about a hundred verses, of which twenty are clearly stated in the Nineteenth Letter. Despite many alterations by Christians and Jews, another hundred verses that foretell the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) are written in the book of al-Husayn al-Cisri. The seers, especially the famous Shik and Satih, through spiritual or jinn means—what is now called mediums—gave clear and repeated news of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) coming and the fall of the Persian Empire in an unmistakable way. Likewise, from the category of the God-knowing, many sages such as Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy from the Prophet's (peace be upon him) ancestors, and kings of Yemen and Abyssinia like Sayf ibn Dhi Yazan and Tubba', who were saints of that time, clearly announced the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and proclaimed it in poetry. An important and certain part of this is written in the Nineteenth Letter. Indeed, one of those kings said: "I would prefer to serve Muhammad (peace be upon him) over this throne." Another said: "Oh, if only I had caught up with him, I would have been his cousin."

May infinite blessings and the honor of the Lord of the Universe and the glory of the world be bestowed upon him, for the world, with its inhabitants and creatures, bears witness to his prophethood and attests to his miracles, and testifies to the lofty treasures he brought from the unseen. As if the world had paid him homage, every kind of being praised him in its own special language. Sultan-ı Ezel, the Eternal Sovereign, shaped the rhythms of the earth and the heavens, and with each string, composed the melody of his miracles in different languages, so that this sweet sound has forever resounded in this dome of eternity. As if the heavens, with their celestial miracles, angels, and stars, celebrated his prophethood; and the earth, with the voices of its rocks, trees, and animals, sang praises to his miracles; and the air, with the signs of its jinn and clouds, gave omens and signs of his prophethood; and the past time, with the symbols and revelations of the prophets, sages, and diviners, announced the faithful dawn of that sun of truth; and the present time, that is, the blessed era, with its own language, witnessed the great revolution in the nature of the Arabs and the birth of civilization from pure barbarism, thus proving his prophethood; and the future time, with its detailed events and patterns, welcomed his destined fortune and expressed gratitude for his guidance in the language of the wise; and humanity, with its scholars, especially the eloquent speaker, who is Muhammad (peace be upon him), the self-evident proof like the sun, declared the truth in his eloquent language; and the Almighty God, with the eloquent language of the Qur'an, recites and reads the command of the prophethood of this illiterate prophet.

It is a joke of Husrev. Dear, esteemed Master, my precious Master; the joy I felt upon receiving the letter you sent with Bekir Ağa cannot be described by a poor student like me, neither by my language nor by my pen. I was weeping from the joy of reading your letter, while my soul was with you, yet my body was far away. Sometimes, I can calm the tears streaming from my eyes by writing or reading essays. Sometimes, my heart keeps weeping endlessly, oh beloved Master. My great plea to you is to forgive me. I have been distressed for a long time now, because although I have stopped loving the world for two or three years, I have not yet managed to escape it. Desolate deserts and waterless wastelands have become homes for my soul. I wander there in my imagination, as if searching for something. Yes, I am searching for something. Alas, what I seek seems both very close and very far away. I don't know how much longer I will struggle in this state. Yes, I am very grateful. How could my gratitude have limits? It has not yet been a year; on two consecutive nights I had two vivid dreams. In the first, I was appointed as the clerk of a large rose oil factory whose foundation was being laid, and I had already started working there. Two months after the date of that dream, I began writing the essays. And especially in the seventh and eighth issues of the Twenty-Eighth Letter, the fact that our service is accepted and within the pleasure of God was written in very clear language, which made the poor student delighted. Beloved Master, may God be forever pleased with you. Husrev • • •

Someone: After two years of meticulous investigation in the Denizli and Ankara Heavy Penal Courts, they acquitted us and returned that book to us, yet they are now accusing us of some of the Fifth's issues and applying them to a deceased commander to show us as guilty. We say: No law considers a completely justified criticism against a deceased, disconnected from the government, person as a crime. Moreover, the prosecution has taken a share from the commander by interpreting the meaning in a completely speculative way and applied it to him. A person who understands a hidden and secret meaning in a one percent of a text cannot be considered guilty by any law. Moreover, that article has explained the interpretations of similar hadiths in an extraordinary style. That explanation was made thirty to forty years ago and was submitted twice in three years to three courts, your court, and six institutions in Ankara, and received definite answers in my defense and objection letters that were not criticized. Therefore, no law can consider it a crime that the truth of that hadith coincides with a faulty person. Moreover, the criticism of that person, who was in a revolution where the virtues and the faults were not only his but perhaps of the army and the government, is only a share. He has only a share of the faults. Therefore, criticizing him for his faults is certainly not a crime, nor can it be considered an attack on the revolution. Moreover, is it possible that not loving a person who converted the Hagia Sophia Mosque, an eternal symbol of honor for this heroic nation, and a great jewel in the service of the Quran and jihad, into a pagan temple and the Meşîhat Office into a girls' school, could be considered a crime?

There is a joke about the index in Hüsrev. Beloved Master! For years, an unparalleled masterpiece has been brought into existence, and now with the Fifteenth Lemma of the Thirty-First Letter, another unparalleled work has been added, which these masterpieces, that masterwork, that wonderful literary art, that extraordinary compilation, that sublime truths, that sublime collection of truths, and those luminous treatises were all demanding a luminous index. A hundred thousand praises be to the Absolutely Generous One, who, from the treasure of mercy, has bestowed this unparalleled work—which no author has succeeded in achieving—so that the Collection of Light, which has reached one hundred and twenty volumes, is gathered in one place with an index of no fewer than one hundred and twenty pages. The benefits and advantages of this treatise are so numerous that there is no need for explanation. This precious treatise praises itself in a manner befitting its worth. And it praises itself so beautifully that it cannot be described. Hüsrev • • •

My Esteemed and Honored Master; In the letter I received last week, you said, "Your and Mr. Sherif's expressions are brief; nothing is understood. Is it criticism or praise?" It is well known to all that we receive all your works with admiration and utmost appreciation. Indeed, we do not have the scholarly power to criticize, and it is evident that there is no such power among the scholars of Turkey. Your insistence on the Eastern scholars and then coming to Istanbul and thereby attracting the attention and respect of the scholars, is sufficient proof of this matter. Both Mr. Sherif and my other friends who read the secret of the invocation and the beginning with "Bismillah" have been overwhelmed by the spiritual joy they felt. As for me, even if I do not write anything about the words, it is itself a sign of that utmost admiration. Because I have always expressed my views to my Master about the Words and Letters that I have repeatedly read with great pleasure and have never been able to stop reading them, I cannot find any words to write. Perhaps it is due to my own helplessness. A treatise is as bright as the one who follows it is even brighter. Therefore, whatever I write, I cannot adequately express my intent. Now my life is very pleasant. I am occupied with studying the Words. In my previous readings, I could not digest them. Now I am reading them very slowly and carefully, trying to understand. Sometimes I get stuck at certain points and ask questions. I am benefiting a lot from this. Indeed, I was very confused in the First and Second Sections of the Twenty-Fourth Word. I could not understand them properly. When I meet with my Master, I will request an oral explanation of these two sections. My Honored Master; there is one point that greatly amazes me. I request an explanation of a matter from you. You explain it. In that explanation, there are also points that require further explanation. You answer with such elegant and comprehensive sentences that even to understand those sentences, questions are needed. From this, it follows that each line of your Words is so comprehensive and meaningful that it could form a book. As much explanation as desired can be given. Re'fet • • •

It is a joke from Master Watchmaker Lütfi. 2 And indeed, everything in the heavens and the earth, except Him, glorifies Him with His praise. 1 With His name. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings as the number of the atoms of all beings forever. 3 I have taken and read the eighth mystery of the Twenty-Ninth Letter, which reveals the alphabetical correspondences of the Surahs of the Noble Ikhlas, the Muawwidhatayn, and the Noble Surah Al-Fatiha. The correspondences revealed in this treatise, which has been published, have unveiled a secret that has never been seen before. Although my ability to write and my understanding of the existing are far less than this subject, I can say with the forgiveness of our esteemed masters that the explanation in the published treatise is a great sign that can awaken any blind and ignorant sinner and even guide and enlighten hearts that have become completely dark. I respectfully suggest that, according to the visionary judgment of our esteemed master, it would be very appropriate to add this subject to the beginning of the Noble Qur'an so that every individual can see the miracle in the Noble Qur'an of the All-Wise, the All-Knowing.

It is a joke of Husrev. My esteemed Sir, my beloved Master; You have commanded me to inform you about my opinion of a part of the Twenty-Ninth Letter. What can I write, what thoughts can I express? Each treatise has the same light, but different subjects, different beauties, different subtleties, and different pleasures. The light of this treatise is like the others, shining in every part, beautiful in every corner. Especially because of this sorrowful state that pierces our souls and makes our hearts weep, I was expecting an urgent cure from my beloved Master. Although this cure was expected to come through the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Points, some of the Islamic traditions changed without any benefit, even though there were thousands of benefits and advantages, and this alone makes us very disappointed and distressed. But, my beloved Master, time must be approaching when, on one hand, the aggressions of the deniers are increasing, and on the other hand, our esteemed Master reveals the hidden truths that emerge from the ocean of truths attained through the grace of the Qur'an, which increases our joy. Since it is necessary to wait for spring to see the flowers, we too are eagerly and impatiently waiting for it. Husrev • • •

It is a joke of Hüsrev. Dear and respected Master; I am very grateful to Allah for the privilege of owning your writings, which elevate and raise us both materially and spiritually, and lead us to unattainable heights, even though I am not worthy of this honor. I am overjoyed, for you have made it possible for me to attain this honor, and also because you have promised that we will succeed in the duties imposed upon us by the Koran in this matter. My dear Master, I always pray that you may be blessed with the greatest of worldly and spiritual happiness, beyond what you can imagine. Respected Master, I have missed you. The obstacles between us in every matter are certainly very distressing. Our current situation pains our hearts, but we are unable to do anything about it. The luminous writings of the ocean of light circulate among those who are eager and qualified, wherever they fall into someone's hands, just as they take it seriously for themselves. Praise be to Allah, this is the grace of my Lord. Hüsrev • • •

As if in a letter five words are censored, yet the rest is allowed, we also demand our legally significant right. And we demand to be freed from the oppression of those who turn grains into domes, and to serve the nation, homeland, and the oppressed with the light of the Qur'an and the faithful believers. I had written the "Hücumat-ı Sitte" during a time of intense oppression eighteen years ago, and since then I have not seen it published, nor have I given permission for its publication, calling it confidential. Moreover, it had passed through three or four courts, and they returned that treatise to its owners. Said Nursî • • •

In the Name of Him (Who is glorified by the seven heavens and the earth and all that is in them, and nothing but praises Him), peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you in the number of the tens of minutes of the days of separation 1. Beloved, sincere, faithful, truthful, and selfless brothers Nuh Bey, Molla Abdülmecid, and Molla Hamid; we opened your very blessed gift and saw that it was not a gift from Van, but perhaps a blessed and miraculous gift from the Holy Medina and the Noble Garden. Its price is not twenty-five liras as written on it, but it is worth more than twenty-five thousand liras in spiritual value. We accepted this blessed gift in the name of Holy Medina, and we distributed it to the devoted servants of the Holy Qur’an in this district and to my friends. However, I was told that there is an important secret in this spiritual gift. That is, I thank Allah a hundred thousand times, for I felt a kind of divine favor as a sign of the acceptance of our service to the Qur’an and the person of the Message. It was considered appropriate to reveal this secret to you. Here it is: Now, the scribe who wrote this letter and his brother Mesud had not mentioned Ahmed Ağa, who had not been spoken of for three months. I said to Mesud, along with the scribe Tevfik: "We will send all the books to Ahmed Ağa in Diyarbakir, so that he can deliver them either to the Holy Land of Damascus or to the sincere brothers in Van." Four hours after this conversation and discussion, Ahmed Ağa suddenly arrived without any prior notice. On the same day, we had a black ink. We said, "If only we had a nice red ink." We poured some of that ink onto a stone; it was black and purple. Then we started writing, and it turned out exactly the red we wanted. About seven or eight people were very surprised by this. We considered this event a good omen and said, "Indeed, Allah is Great. There is a secret in this." Then suddenly I remembered: My brother-in-law Molla Said is in the Holy Land of Damascus; I will give some of the books to Ahmed Ağa and send them. Right after I said this, Nuh Bey, a very sincere brother, came to my mind. At first, I had intended to go to another country, and then to my brother in Istanbul.
