Beloved, sincere, steadfast, tireless, persevering, and self-sacrificing brothers; I do not think it necessary to encourage you against such fierce attacks. Your strong faith and your belief that every incident related to the Risale-i Nur contains a divine care and mercy is sufficient for your encouragement, we know. Yet, there is only one point I am curious about. Is the entire Risale-i Nur you have obtained only a set, and who is it, I want to understand. Whoever it is, let him not worry. In more important positions, they will achieve victories and earn rewards on his behalf. A set of Risale-i Nur can be provided for him. Also, is there anyone under custody? And who is the teacher assigned to him?
Saniyen: With the decision given by Sabri and Hâfız Ali's opinion for establishing communication, we also accepted the method of communication through Atabey, just like them. Lütfi has a heir named Abdullah Çavuş, and the address will be sent accordingly.
Salisen: Sabri's letter, in which he wrote with joy about the miraculousness of the Qur'an and the Risale-i Nur, made us very happy. Taking the remarkable and attractive "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'ân" written by Hasan Âtıf as the basis, we added other discussions about the points of the Qur'anic miracles to the other essays in the form of supplements; it turned out very well. For example, the Seventeenth Degree of the "Âyetü'lkübrâ" about the Qur'an, the Twentieth Word, and the last verse of the Surah Feth regarding its miracle, important parts from the Fihristen about the "Rumuzat-ı Semaniye," and two points from the Kenzü'l-Arş have been included in these supplements. Just like the supplements of the "Mu'cizat-ı Ahmediye," they have shone brightly. The center of light, Sabri, will surely perfect that beautiful "Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye" with them, insha'Allah.
Rabian: The letter from Abdullah Çavuş, the true and very serious heir of the late Lütfi, showed his level of sincerity, devotion, and connection. I always used to mention both Abdullah of İslâmköy and this Abdullah Çavuş together in my prayers. Allah shows that he is worthy of that position. The final, revised part of the Fihristen will be sent to him, insha'Allah. However, it has not been revised as much as he might have thought. Because, the process

And especially each of the one hundred and thirty books of Risale-i Nur proves a virtue or a point of the Qur'an with conclusive proofs; and especially the Mu'cizat-ı Kur'âniye (The Miraculousness of the Qur'an) Treatise, which is the Second Station of the Twentieth Word, shows that many of the marvels of civilization, such as the steam engine and the airplane, are derived from the Qur'an; and the First Light, named İşarât-ı Kur'âniye (The Indications of the Qur'an), which explains the signs of the verses referring to Risale-i Nur and electricity; and the eight small treatises named Rumuzât-ı Semaniye (The Secrets of the Letters), which show how regular, mysterious, and meaningful the Qur'anic letters are; and a small treatise that proves the miraculousness of the last verse of the Sûre-i Feth (Surah Victory) in five ways regarding the revelation of the unseen; each part of Risale-i Nur, in this way, reveals a truth and a light of the Qur'an, which is a signature of the Qur'an's being unique, miraculous, and extraordinary, and that in this world of witness, the language of the unseen world and the speech of the All-Knowing of the Unseen exists.
Indeed, it is for these mentioned virtues and excellences of the Qur'an, which are indicated in six points, six directions, and six stations, that its noble luminous sovereignty and majestic sacred rule have continued with great respect, illuminating the faces of centuries and turning the surface of the earth for over thirteen centuries; and it is for these excellences that each letter of the Qur'an has at least ten merits and ten treasures and bears ten lasting fruits; even each letter of some verses and chapters may bear a hundred, a thousand, or even more fruits; and in blessed times, the light, merit, and value of each letter may increase a hundredfold. Thus, the world traveler understood and said in his heart: Indeed, this Qur'an, which is miraculous in every respect, through the unity of its chapters, the agreement of its verses, the harmony of its mysteries and expressions, and the consistency of its fruits and effects, has testified so clearly with evidence that the boundless testimonies of all the people of faith have derived their testimony from its testimony.

Another verse from the Torah:
My chosen servant is not harsh nor severe. 1
Indeed, the meaning of "Muhtar" is "Mustafa," and it is also the prophetic name.
In the Gospel, regarding the description of the Prophet who will come after Isa and is announced in several verses of the Gospel 2 with the title "Lord of the World":
With him is a rod of iron with which he will fight, and his community will be like that. 3
This verse shows that "a Prophet who is the master of the sword and is engaged in jihad will come." "Kadîb-i hadîd" means sword. Also, his community will be like him, masters of the sword, that is, engaged in jihad, as stated in the last part of the Surah of Victory:
In the Gospel, their example is like a plant that sprouted from the ground, was supported, became strong, and stood upright with its stalk, pleasing the sowers, to provoke the disbelievers. 4
This verse, like other verses of the Gospel, refers to other verses and together with the Gospel, declares that Muhammad, upon whom be peace and blessings, is the master of the sword and engaged in jihad.
There is the following verse in the thirty-third chapter of the fifth book of the Torah: 5 "The Most High God came from Mount Sinai to us from the direction of Sair and appeared in the mountains of Egypt." 6

In His name - and indeed, nothing exists but praises Him. 1
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. 2
My dear, sincere, and devoted brother Re'fet Bey; regarding the question you asked, the easiest and most permissible answer is your own answer. Both the commentary of Mülteka Şerhi Damad and the book Merâki'l-Felâh state: One expiation is sufficient for two Ramadans. One expiation suffices for multiple repeated incidents, because there is overlap. And they said, this is the correct view.
From the perspective of truth, in this matter, there is a strict view and a lenient view. In the strict view, if the strength and capacity are sufficient, then a separate expiation is required for each Ramadan. However, from the lenient perspective, based on the principle of overlap, one expiation is obligatory for multiple Ramadans, while separate expiations are only recommended. Since this expiation includes both the meaning of guilt and the meaning of worship, it is neither strictly enforced nor overlaps.
Dear brother, since we are currently occupied with the fundamentals of the greater jurisprudence (fıkhü'l-ekber) and the matters of faith (esâsât-ı imaniye), I cannot at the moment seriously focus on the detailed and minor issues of particular matters (dekaik-i mesâil-i fer'iyeye), which require reference to narration and the methods and criteria of the scholars of ijtihad. Moreover, I do not have the books with me, nor do I have the time to refer to them. In any case, the Islamic scholars have already conducted such thorough investigations that there is no need for further detailed research on the details. If I truly felt a real need, I would go into the deep areas of the mujtahid's reasoning regarding such matters and make some statements. Perhaps the time for such detailed investigations has not yet come. Anyway.
This time, regarding the verse at the end of Surah Feth and its connection:
Those will be with those upon whom Allah has bestowed His grace from among the prophets, the truthful, the witnesses, and the righteous. 3
And in the book "Minhâc-ı Sünnet," regarding the interpretation of the secret of the verse:
...except for the love among relatives. 4
How do you find these interpretations?
Brothers Husrev and you, it would be good if you write a copy of all the parts of the kerâmât-ı gaybiye of Sheikh Geylânî and send it to Hulûsi Bey. They should also be sent to Âsım Bey. First, (using the expression of Gavs-ı Âzam, Bekir Bey), in our expression, Bekir Ağa, Ahmed Husrev, Lütfü, Rüşdü, Hâ...

Once, while searching for the miracles of the Qur'an, I had a time when I found several miracles and supernatural signs, even in the last verse of Surah Fath, as mentioned in Risale-i Nur, especially in the tafsir-i Nurî of Isharat al-Ijaz and in Rumuz-i Semaniye. At that time, I found a historical miracle in the phrase "al-yawma nunnajjika bidhanna-k", and even multiple supernatural signs in several words and miraculous points in some letters. While reciting Surah Al-Fatiha in prayer, a question suddenly came to my heart: Why was it not said "a3budu... asta3ina" meaning "I worship and I seek help", but instead it was said with the nun of the verb "nun", meaning "We worship and we seek help to You"?
Suddenly, through that letter "nun", a field of imaginative travel opened up; I understood and saw the great secret and benefit of the congregation in prayer and that this single letter is a miracle.
Like this: At that time, I was praying in the Bayezid Mosque in Istanbul and said "Iyyaka na3budu wa iyyaka nasta3inu". I looked and saw that the congregation in that mosque was saying the same words as me, fully participating in this declaration and in the prayer "ihdina". At that moment, another curtain opened. I saw that all the mosques of Istanbul had become one great Bayezid. Just like me, they were saying "Iyyaka na3budu wa iyyaka nasta3inu", signing my declarations and prayers, saying "Amin". And another curtain opened in my imagination, as if they had taken the form of intercessors for me.
