SEVENTH SECRET OF EXCELLENCE: It is said that the verse shows the purposes and effects of the cause, in order to remove and distance the cause from the ability of creation and to demonstrate that the cause is merely an outward veil. Because it is quite fitting for a wise and knowledgeable being to intend purposes and important effects. The cause, however, is senseless and inert. By mentioning the effect and the purpose, the verse shows that causes appear to be closely connected and attached to their effects in the outward eye and in the body. But in reality, there is a great distance between them. The distance between the cause and the effect of the creator is so great that even the strongest cause cannot reach the creation of the weakest effect. In this long distance between cause and effect, the divine names appear like stars. These distances are the veils of the divine. Just as in the outward eye, the hem of the sky appears to be connected and adjacent to the horizon of the mountains. But in reality, there is a vast distance from the horizon of the mountains to the hem of the sky, which is the dwelling place of all the stars and other things. Similarly, there is such a spiritual distance between causes and effects that can only be seen through the lens of faith and the light of the Qur’an. For example: "Then let man look at his food: indeed, We poured water abundantly, then We split the earth (apart), then We grew therein grain, and grapes and fodder, and olives and date palms, and gardens of dense growth, and fruits and grazing, as provision for you and for your livestock." This noble verse, by mentioning the miracles of divine power in a wise order, weaves the causes into the effects, and finally reveals a purpose with the expression "provision for you and for your livestock," which shows that there is a hidden administrator who sees and follows that purpose throughout all these connected causes and effects, and that these causes are only His veil. Indeed, the expression "provision for you and for your livestock" removes the ability of creation from all causes.

He prays in such a distinguished and noble gathering that it seems as if all the luminous and perfect beings from the time of Adam until now, perhaps even until the Day of Judgment, would respond to his prayer with "Amen." FOOTNOTE-1 Look: He prays for such a universal need that not only the people of the earth, but perhaps the people of the heavens, perhaps all of creation, would join in his need and say with their own words, "Oh yes, O our Lord! Give, accept his prayer, for we too desire it." Look again: He seeks such a lasting, beloved, and yearning happiness in such a manner that it brings the whole universe to tears and draws them into his prayer. Look: He prays for such a purpose, such a goal, that it elevates humanity and all of creation from the absolute state of baseness, worthlessness, uselessness, and futility to the state of value, permanence, lofty duty, and becoming part of the eternal realities of the Divine. FOOTNOTE-2 Look: He asks and begs with such a high and earnest tone of seeking help, and with such a sweet and heartfelt tone of supplication, that it seems as if it reaches all of creation, the heavens, and the Throne, bringing them into a state of presence, and making them say "Amen, O Allah, Amen."

The Seventh Word In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Indeed, We have made what is on the earth as adornment for it, that We may test them as to which of them is best in deeds. And indeed, We will surely make what is on it a barren plain. And the life of this world is nothing but amusement and distraction. 1 This Word consists of two high stations and one shining Zeyl. The All-Merciful Creator and the Generous Provider, and the Wise Architect, made this world a festival and a city for the realm of spirits and spiritualities, adorned it with the wonderful engravings of all His names, and for each spirit, whether small or great, high or low, He clothes them with a body suitable for them, fitting for enjoying the countless blessings and favors of that festival, and adorns them with a suitable form and a physical body, and sends them once to that theater. Also, since that festival is very vast in time and space, He divides it into centuries, years, seasons, even days and regions, and makes each century, each year, each season, and even each day and each region a high festival for the respective spiritual beings and created beings, like a special gateway. Especially the face of the earth, particularly in spring and summer, the different levels of created beings have such dazzling and successive festivals that they attract the attention of the higher spiritual beings, the angels, and the dwellers of the heavens. And for the thoughtful people, it becomes such a pleasant place for contemplation that the mind cannot describe it.

SEVENTH VERSE: 1 "And Allah establishes the truth by His words" – this verse, in its complete meaning, refers to the Risale-i Nur as it is evident in this era, just as the famous verse indicates. Considering the doubled ل in لَفْظِ اللَّهِ as one ل, and counting the ى in بِكَلِمَاتِهِ, the total number of words is nine hundred and ninety-eight (998), which exactly corresponds to the number of Risale-i Nur's ninety-eight (998) works, indicating a spiritual relationship. One of the factors that enhances and strengthens this symbolic meaning is that the works of Risale-i Nur are announced under the name "Sözler" (Words). "Sözler" is "Kelimat" in Arabic, and these words have proven the truths of the Qur'an to be absolutely true and the very essence of truth, thereby completely silencing the godless philosophers of this age. EIGHTH VERSE: 2 "Say, My Lord has guided me to a straight path." This famous verse, in its complete meaning, refers to the Risale-i Nur as the appropriate and suitable individual in this era. The word "صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ" (straight path) in the cipher, when the تَنْوِينَ (nun) in "صِرَاطٍ" is counted, again looks at the number of Risale-i Nur (998) with a double secret margin. Furthermore, the abjad value of the phrase "هَدٰينِى رَبِّى اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ" (My Lord has guided me to a straight path) is one thousand three hundred and sixteen (1316), which exactly corresponds to the most fervent historical date in the Nuriyan satire of the author of Risale-i Nur, which is one thousand three hundred and sixteen (1316).

Indeed, Allah is He who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky, producing thereby fruits as sustenance for you, and He made ships subservient to you to sail upon the sea by His command, and He made rivers subservient to you. And He made the sun and the moon subservient, both moving on in their courses, and He made the night and the day subservient. And He gives you of all that you ask for. And even if you were to count Allah's blessings, you could not number them. These verses show that the Almighty Allah has made the entire universe a palace for man, sending the water of life from the heavens to the earth, and making the earth and the sky two servants to grow sustenance for mankind. He has also made the ship subservient to man to enable him to travel across the sea. He has arranged the sea, the wind, and the tree in such a way that the wind becomes a whip, the ship a horse, and the sea a desert beneath his feet. By means of the ship, He has made man more connected to the entire earth. He has presented the rivers and great rivers as natural means of transport for man. He has made the sun and the moon two servants and two drivers to rotate the great wheel, presenting the changing seasons and the colorful blessings of the True Provider to mankind. He has also made the night and the day subservient to man, making the night a covering for his comfort and the day a marketplace for his needs. After making man aware of these divine blessings, this verse وَاٰتيٰكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَاسَاَلْتُمُوهُ وَاِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ لاَ تُحْصُوهَا shows how vast the circle of blessings given to man is, and how countless the blessings within that circle are. In other words, whatever man has asked for in terms of ability and natural needs, it has all been given. The divine blessings bestowed upon man are endless and inexhaustible. Indeed, if the heavens and the earth are a banquet for man, and the blessings on that banquet are

Firstly: The services of the noble hero Nazif and his truly noble-hearted and sincere friends, in serving Nur with machines and other means, are in a position that will genuinely make this country grateful. May Allah grant them success. Ameen. Especially because the products of their machines are beautiful, clear, and healthy (Footnote 1), this is a great success. May Allah give Nazif many more Salahaddins and Ibrahims. My brother Nazif has asked me to write a short piece in my own handwriting at the beginning of Zülfikar. He sent four pages with oil, but due to my current health condition, I could not personally write them with my own handwriting, so I will dictate the text and have my permanent scribe write it. Some words will be written by me. I have received three types of material donations from my dear brother Nazif, on behalf of the Istanbul and İnebolu Nur followers, as Eid and New Year offerings. I accepted them in general on their behalf, contrary to my usual practice. May Allah be pleased with them, Ameen. For their sake, I broke my rule. And also, the Nur Zülfikar, which is both spiritual and heavenly, and the second Salahaddin, the young Ibrahim, who has written the majority of the Words in a very beautiful manner, and my dear brother Mustafa Osman, who is sincere and connected to Nazif, we also received two collections sent on behalf of the general Safranbolu Nur followers. May Allah write good deeds in their account books according to the number of letters in Zülfikar and those two collections, and for each letter, grant them a hundred mercies. Ameen. Indeed, Mustafa Osman has found two important and very hardworking individuals. Just as Nazif found Salahaddin and Ibrahim, he has found teacher Ahmed Fuad and Mustafa Oruç from the Darülfunun. With those two, may Allah have them do much work for Nur. In fact, the transition of such individuals as Mustafa Oruç and teacher Ahmed Fuad to Nur service in such an influential way is alleviating the pain of the death of Denizli hero Hasan Feyzi to some extent. Small Ibrahim, becoming a second Salahaddin for Nazif, is working very seriously for Nur and the machine, along with his wife and children, his brother, and his companion.

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.

"You are rebelling in the land of Malik-i Zülcelâl with such arrogance that there are beings from His worship and creation who are not like you, small and helpless creatures, but even if hypothetically you were as big as mountains and the earth, and were defiant, rebellious, and ungrateful, they could throw stars, fiery metals, and molten metals at you, and destroy you. "You are breaking a law so powerful that if necessary, it could strike the earth against your faces and rain down stars like bullets upon you." Indeed, there are some important exaggerations in the Qur'an that do not arise from the strength of the enemies, but perhaps from the need to express majesty and to warn against the craftiness of the enemies. Sometimes, to demonstrate the perfection of order, the ultimate justice, the highest mercy, and the strength of wisdom, the greatest and most powerful causes are exaggerated and held against the smallest and weakest things; they are not actually used, nor are they allowed to commit aggression. For example, look at this verse: "And if the two parties conspire against him, indeed, Allah is his protector, and Jibril (Gabriel) and the righteous among the believers are also his supporters. And after that, the angels are also his support." How much respect there is for the Prophet and how much mercy there is for the rights of the oppressed. These important exaggerations are only to express with compassion the greatness of the respect for the Prophet and the importance of the rights of the two weak ones. SEVENTH STEP Just as there are many different types of angels and heavens, so too the stars have very different kinds. Some are extremely small, and some are very large. Indeed, even every shining object in the sky is called a star. Among these stars, there is a kind that, like the ornaments of the upper heavens, the fragrant fruits of that tree, and the glorified fish of that sea, have been created by the Almighty, the All-Craftsman. He made them as ornaments, mounts, and resting places for His angels. And He also used a small kind of star as a tool for the jinn.

Then, as small groups form an army, it gathers those fragmented clouds, and from those cloud fragments, which are like snow and hail in their form, boldness, humidity, and whiteness, it sends down the water of life to all living beings. But in this sending, there is an evident will and intention. It comes according to need; therefore, it is sent. When the sky is clear, pure, and empty of anything, those strange clusters of clouds do not gather themselves. Perhaps it is One who knows the living beings that sends them. Indeed, in this spiritual distance, the meanings of the names such as Al-Kadîr (the Almighty), Al-‘Alîm (the All-Knowing), Al-Mutasarrif (the Disposer of Affairs), Al-Mu‘izz (the Glorifier), Al-Muhyî (the Giver of Life), and others become evident. EIGHTH DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THE GLORY: The Qur’an sometimes mentions the wonderful deeds of Allah in the Hereafter in order to implant them in the heart and to prepare the mind for belief, in the form of a warning and an educational method. Or it mentions the future and unseen miraculous deeds of Allah in such a way that, through the many examples we have witnessed, we come to believe in them. For example, "Has man not considered that We created him from a sperm-drop, yet behold, he is an open adversary," from this verse until the end of the chapter... Indeed, in this subject, regarding the resurrection, the Wise Qur’an proves the resurrection in seven or eight different ways, each in a different style. First, it draws your attention to the miracle of your own creation, saying: You see the development from the sperm to the clot, from the clot to the embryo, and from the embryo to the human form. How then can you deny the resurrection of the other world? That resurrection is similar to this, perhaps even more excellent.

It is a saying of Hafız Ali. Beloved Master, I received the first part of the fifteenth Lem'ah of the Thirty-First Letter with great sorrow. Beloved Master, indeed, in my humble and poor opinion, the "Words that spread the lights of the sun of guidance" are the market of truth and reality. Whatever exists in the realm of truth is so rich, adorned, and boundless. To obtain the goods of such a world, one must have the strength of a sultan. And if one wishes to see, one must have a sharp, penetrating, and mobile gaze that can see through travel and observation. Since this is very rare, it is necessary to have a sample plate of all the goods. O beloved Master, all sample plates were previously seen to show the types of the whole and the universals with just one piece. They serve no other purpose. But from each piece of the index and sample plate of the infinite treasure, which is entirely light, a "hanîfen müslimen" garment will emerge. They have extraordinary pieces and values. Just as they are extraordinary with their universals opposing the general, they carry an extraordinary conclusion with their parts. Yes, Master, while I was studying this letter, my heart and soul were filled with excitement and longing to see all the resplendent lights with the utmost joy and sensitivity. Thus, Master, just as we need every part of all the treatises, we strongly need to see each part at once. May the Almighty, the Necessary in Existence, grant you the reward through His perfect mercy and compassion, and may He bestow it upon you through His mercy and compassion. Amin. Hafız Ali • • •

If he is in the East or the West, help him whenever he walks in any city. With the science of ciphers, the meaning is: "The disciple of Gaws, Said el-Kurdî, was imprisoned in Russia and remained in the northern East of Asia and was expelled to the West of Asia by the hands of the people of Bid'a. During the time he was forced to travel through many lands due to escaping from Siberia, I have helped him and supported him with the power and strength of the Divine. Yes, the one he refers to as the disciple of Gaws, Said (r.a.), remained for three years in the northern East of Asia under harsh conditions and fled a distance of three to four months, thus visiting many cities and being preserved as Gaws said." So, O reciter of my verse, recite it and do not fear, for indeed you are protected by the eye of divine care. With the science of ciphers, the meaning is: "Badiuzzaman Molla Said," as he is known by name, says to his disciple who reads his letters: "Recite my verse, that is, my writings which show my profession, my path, and my struggles. In other words, the meaning of my verse is your treatises, your Words, and your Letters." "Recite it and do not fear." "Begin your struggle with these Words in 1332 (Hijri). You are protected by divine care." Yes, "reciter" with the science of ciphers refers to "Molla Said," and "verse" refers to the Risale-i Nur. And with the letter "mim," it refers both to the Letters and to the "Words of Said el-Kurdî." "Words" means the Words. "Recite it and do not fear" refers to 1332 (Hijri). That date is the beginning of the struggle. At that time, the struggle began with the publication of the Tafsir of the Signs of Permission.

This is a paragraph from the letter he wrote when he began writing "Sözler." My Honored Lord, I received one of the two books you kindly sent for our reading from Bekir Ağa. I read a few pages of the book, and I began to make a copy of it to keep for myself. I noticed that in the book's preface, you occasionally mention matters that engage my mind, and I found out that these small letters contain great truths, which greatly benefited me. Until the sixth letter, while writing "Sözler," I was reading the writings on the one hand and, on the other hand, I was beginning to read them slowly, as they were written hastily. I was overwhelmed with great joy. When I reached the sixth letter, I read that you had settled in the saddest part of this distant land and that a part of it had been narrated. As I read, my heart was so sorrowful that I could not help but weep along with you. I even read it to my mother who was with me. While reading, my mother was crying and tears were streaming from her eyes. I tried to restrain myself from crying. On the other hand, I thought, perhaps a little from the part that was settled could also have been written... Hüsrev • • •

Yes, beauty certainly requires a lover. Taam is given to the hungry. However, only one in a million of jinn and humans can perform this endless duty, this great responsibility, and this vast servitude. Therefore, an infinite and ever-renewing number of duties and acts of worship, and an infinite number of angelic beings and spiritual entities are necessary. It can be said, with the indication of some traditions and the wisdom of the universe's order, that some of the moving bodies, from the stars to the comets, are the chariots of some of the angels. 1 They ride them with divine permission and travel through the world of witness, observing it. Also, it can be said that some of the animal bodies, from the birds mentioned in the hadith as "tuyûrun hudrun" 2 to the flies, are the flying machines of a kind of spirits. They enter them by the command of the Almighty and tour the world of material things, watching the miraculous phenomena of nature through the windows of the sins in those bodies. Certainly, the Creator, who continuously creates delicate life and the sensitive perception from barren soil and powerful water, certainly has some luminous creatures from this sea of light and even from the ocean of darkness, suitable for the soul and life. And they exist in great numbers. In a treatise named "Nokta" (Point) and in the Twenty-Ninth Statement, it has been proven with a certainty of two times two four degrees that this is the case. If you wish, you can refer to it. SECOND STEP The earth and the heavens are connected like two countries under one government.

Conclusion: How necessity appears from possibility; action from desire and unity from multiplicity—these entities absolutely point to their essence. Thus, the attributes such as design and dependence observed in existing things also absolutely point to the essence of the Designer and Provider, the Merciful Creator. The existence of these attributes, necessarily and obviously, points to the essence of a Designer and Provider, the Merciful Creator. Therefore, each existing thing, through its various aspects and in the language of these attributes, testifies to the names and attributes of the Necessary Being. If these testimonies are not accepted, one must deny all these attributes of existence. Twenty-Sixth Window COMMENTARY The beauties and perfections that appear and pass away on the surface of this universe indicate that they are like shadows of an eternal beauty. Indeed, just as the bubbles on the surface of a stream, after sparkling and vanishing, show that they are reflections of the rays of an eternal sun, so too the gleams of beauty on the flowing stream of time and on transient beings indicate and are signs of an eternal beauty. Also, the serious love in the heart of the universe indicates a Beloved who is eternal and without end. Indeed, just as something not inherent in the nature of a tree is shown to exist essentially in its fruit, so the serious divine love in the sensitive fruit of the tree of the universe—the human soul—shows that true love and affection exist throughout the universe, though in different forms. Therefore, this true love and affection in the heart of the universe indicate an Eternal Beloved.

Here are the poor souls who are addicted to the pleasures of worldly life and who struggle to secure their future and their lives out of anxiety for the future. If you desire the pleasures, joys, happiness, and comfort of this world, be content with the legitimate pleasures within the proper bounds. That will be sufficient for your pleasure. You certainly understood from the previous explanation that within a single taste of pleasure outside these bounds and beyond the legitimate circle, there are a thousand sorrows. If the present circumstances of the past, that is, the past events, are shown to us in the present, as they are shown in the cinema, then the future conditions, for example, the conditions fifty years from now, were shown to us in the cinema, the people of ignorance would certainly regret their present laughter and would weep and curse a thousand times over. Whoever desires eternal and perpetual joy in this world and the hereafter must take the Islamic education of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as their guide. A warning, a lesson, and a reminder given to a few unfortunate youths One day, some bright young people came to me. To these young people who wanted to receive a powerful warning to avoid the dangers coming from the aspects of life, youth, and desires, I said, as I used to say to the young people who used to seek help from the Risale-i Nur: Your youth will certainly pass. If you do not remain within the legitimate circle, that youth will be lost and will bring you troubles and sorrows, not only in this world, but also in the grave and the hereafter, far more than the pleasures it brings. If you spend that youth in chastity, honor, and steadfastness as an expression of gratitude to the Islamic education, then that youth will remain in spirit and will cause you to gain eternal youth. Life, on the other hand, if there is no faith or if that faith is not effective due to rebellion, brings with its brief and outwardly pleasure and taste, sorrows, grief, and sadness a thousand times greater than that pleasure and taste. Because, due to the presence of reason and thought in humans, unlike animals, they are naturally connected with the past and future times as well as the present. From those times, they can also receive both sorrow and pleasure.

Fifth Window We see that things, especially living beings, come into existence in a sudden and momentary way. Yet, things that emerge from a simple substance in a sudden and momentary way should be very simple, formless, and devoid of art. However, they are formed with intricate patterns requiring great care and time, adorned with extraordinary arts requiring great skill, and composed in a manner requiring many materials. Indeed, this miraculous art and beautiful structure emerging in such a sudden and momentary way, each of which testifies to the necessity of a True Artisan and points to the unity of His lordship, in total, in a very clear manner, reveals an Absolutely Almighty, an Infinitely Wise Necessary Being. Now, O blind denier! Come on, how will you explain this? Will you explain it with your blind, helpless, ignorant nature like yourself? Or, making an immeasurable mistake, will you name that Holy Artisan as "nature," attribute His miraculous acts of power to nature under that name, and thus try to escape from this inescapable truth?

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 • • •

The first slap: Five more people were added to his already limited household, and the hardship became significant.

He came most days, listened with great enthusiasm, and took notes. Later, he had the entire collection of Sayings and Letters transcribed for thirty lira as payment. His intention was to publish them in his country and to inform his fellow citizens. However, due to some thoughts and considerations, he did not publish the treatises as he had imagined, but instead put them in a box. Suddenly, due to a trivial incident, he endured a year of grief and anger. Instead of gaining some official adversaries who would be fair in the publication of the treatises, he found many unjust and cruel enemies and lost some of his friends. THIRTEENTH It is Hafiz Halid (may God have mercy on him). He says: Yes, I admit it. When I was enthusiastically involved in verifying the works published by my Master in the service of the Quran, there was an imamate position in our neighborhood. Intending to temporarily take that service to tie up my old academic robe, I unknowingly withdrew from it. Against my intention, I received a compassionate slap. Although I served as an imam for eight or nine months, despite the many promises of the mufti, I could not tie the turban in an extraordinary way. We have no doubt that this compassionate slap came from that fault. I was both a correspondent and a verifier of my Master. He had difficulty in the verification matter due to my withdrawal. Whatever the case may be, thank God, we realized our mistake and this service

SEVENTH VERSE: 1 "And Allah establishes the truth by His words" – this verse, in its complete meaning, refers to the Risale-i Nur as it is evident in this era, just as the famous verse indicates. Considering the doubled ل in لَفْظِ اللَّهِ as one ل, and counting the ى in بِكَلِمَاتِهِ, the total number of letters is nine hundred and ninety-eight (998), which exactly corresponds to the number of letters in the Risale-i Nur, indicating a spiritual connection. One of the factors that enhances and strengthens this symbolic relationship is that the works of the Risale-i Nur are announced under the name "Sözler" (Words). In Arabic, "Sözler" is "Kelimat," and these words have proven the truths of the Qur'an to be absolutely true and the very essence of truth, thereby completely silencing the godless philosophers of this age. EIGHTH VERSE: 2 "Say, 'Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path.'" This famous verse, in its complete meaning, refers to the Risale-i Nur as the appropriate and suitable individual in this era. The word "صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ" (straight path) in the cipher has two meanings. The تَنْوِينُ (nunation) in "صِرَاطٍ" is counted as an ن, and this results in the number 998, which is the number of letters in the name Risale-i Nur. Additionally, the abjad value of the phrase "هَدٰينِى رَبِّى اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ" (My Lord has guided me to a straight path) is 1316, which exactly corresponds to the year 1316 (in the Hijri calendar), the most fervent historical date in the Nuriyan satire according to the teachings of the author of the Risale-i Nur.

It is a manzume written by an important scholar in the honored city of Medina about the Risale-i Nur. To the Conqueror of Hearts, the Great Master! O master, who has conquered my entire heart with your light! My heart remembers you with sacred emotions. My inspiration came to life with the news of your deliverance, With your lofty victory that gladdens the hearts of the believers. The dark clouds from the horizons have vanished; In the heavens, the angels celebrate this great holiday. You have saved the faith of millions in the world; The memory of the faithful hearts burns brightly. You have stirred the faith of thousands with your words, While the history flows with sacred excitement. The brilliance of your beauty intoxicated my inspiration; Your state resembles that of a "Conqueror" guiding like a leader. You did not tremble like mountains, even on the most fearful days, Before every moment filled with death and pressure. The faith in you spreads terror in the worlds; Even enemies are amazed by your unshakable faith. You are the guide, for you are "Our Noble Prophet." The immortal work is the path you showed to youth. You have reached the eternal blessings of the Holy Qur'an; You have taught humanity the lessons of faith and perfection. O crown descending from the heavens to the heads of people! The world needs your knowledge and guidance. Each of your works carries ocean-like lights; You are the guide for the seekers of light toward Allah! "Words" stir millions like an ocean; Eyes that watch the worlds in paradise. Every sentence is full of wisdom, containing the light of the Qur'an; In every word, the beams of a thousand suns shine through the ages.

It is a saying from Ali Efendi, the second Sabri. These words are like a doctor who is so wise that if the blind do not receive guidance from the Truth, and the heartless have not suffered a complete collapse, and there is no crack in their heart and consciousness, they lead them to thought with persuasion, and resolve the difficult questions of "where from, where to, who am I?" thus granting humanity the humanity it deserves.

Barla Lâhikası ·Mektup 30 ·machine translation (qwen3-32b-sre)

The Master's Return to Barla The Master had left Barla more than twenty years ago and had not returned since. He was more attached to Barla than to his own village of Nurs, for it was here that the Risale-i Nur (Epistles of Light) began to be composed. From here, the "Words," "Letters," and "Nuri Lights," representing the guiding lights of the Holy Qur'an, spread outwards. In this respect, Barla was the first center of the Risale-i Nur school. Although his life in Barla was painful, spent in seclusion and under the shadow of hardship; yet, because it was the place where the truths of the Risale-i Nur were composed, it can be said that the sweetest and most beloved period of the Master's life was his time in Barla. This time, he was returning not in exile, not in imprisonment, but of his own will and freely. He arrived in Barla on a beautiful spring day. A significant portion of his students from Barla came to greet him. As the Master approached the Nuriye Madrasa, his eight-year residence, he could not hold back his emotions and tears flowed from his blessed eyes. The majestic plane tree seemed almost to greet him. Once before, after living in Barla for eight years, he had been transferred to Isparta. At that time, the blessed plane tree had symbolically mourned his departure, its branches with their grand wings expressing their devotion to God as they bid him farewell. Now, after a long separation, the joy of reuniting with the Master was expressed in prostration of gratitude to the Merciful Creator. The Master embraced the blessed plane tree and told the students and villagers nearby not to leave him alone, for he could not hold back his tears. Then he entered the room of the Nur school and stayed there for about two hours. His sorrowful weeping could be heard from outside. Yes, indeed, he was experiencing the boundless manifestations of Divine mercy. Once he had been driven from Eastern Anatolia to the outskirts of Isparta... From Isparta, he had been exiled to the mountainous region of Barla. And it was here that he would die and depart.

It is a saying of the Risale-i Nur disciples. "And be a Qadiri of the time for God, sincere - live happily and truthfully with My love." Interpreted with the science of ciphers: "O Said! Be the Abdulqadiri of the time, attain complete sincerity, do not worry about your livelihood while in poverty, do not take gratitude from people; since your name is 'Said,' you will also be prosperous in your livelihood. Because of your loyalty in My love and your striving for sincerity, devoted students and helpers like Hulusi and faithful servants like Süleyman and Bekir, and earnest, serious students like Sabri will be given to you." Yes, praise be to God, the event occurred as the Gavs foretold at the level of sarahat (proficiency). The Great Gavs, while mentioning the most important points in the life history of his disciple named "Said," also points to Said in eight or nine aspects with the secrets of the science of ciphers. The apparent meanings of the verses and their cipher meanings are very close, and the nine signs in the different directions confirm each other, thus reaching the level of sarahat. "I am a guardian for My devotee, whatever he fears - I protect him from every evil and trial." Interpreted with the science of ciphers: "Molla Said, who was known in the fourteenth century by the nickname 'el-Kurdî,' is My devotee. I am his guardian from every evil and trial, with God's permission and with the power of My might." Yes, until twenty to thirty years after the Republic, in the midst of twenty great trials, Gavs exceptionally preserved that devotee. He was saved from the evils and dangers he feared through a hidden protection.

The story belongs to the late Captain Âsım Bey. The noble treatise titled "Words," whose value cannot be measured, brings me back to life and illuminates my heart, according to the scales and proofs of the Envar-i Kur'aniye. 1 This is from the grace of my Lord. I have been seeking it for a long time, and by the praise of God, the Sublime Lord has bestowed this grace upon this poor one.
