Beloved, sincere, unshakable, tireless, fearless, and unyielding brothers; First: We inform those who say that this summer, due to the burden of livelihood and these three months of blessedness, one can refrain from writing the Lights out of consideration for worship, that on the contrary, one should be encouraged and must encourage oneself to write. Because the service of the Light helps both the livelihood and the comfort of the heart, and due to its nature of contemplative worship, it greatly contributes to the blessings of the blessed months.
Secondly: One of the disciples of Nur told me: "Last year, before the Lights were fully entrusted to us and in the result of a specific return, you said here with a special manifestation of mercy that 'When the Lights are read and written freely and returned to us, rain and mercy will be complete.' You gave this news. Indeed, this spring, the widespread eagerness to write and read the Asâ of Moses, and the enthusiastic beginning to write the Zülfikâr of Miracles, I am convinced has become a means to this unparalleled mercy," he said.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. In the name of Him, the Exalted.
Beloved, sincere brothers; In this blessed month, I hope that many sacred treasures will enter the spiritual company of the Nurcus. Each Nurcu will earn profit as if working with thousands of tongues and hundreds of pens. And those who serve the miraculous Zülfikâr collection with writing, which can be counted as five types of worship, are truly fortunate. However, it is necessary and essential to pay attention to one's health more than writing. Today, I also witnessed two sweet and pleasant coincidences. I came to the conclusion that, in these days of hardship, while I was correcting the Asa-yı Mûsâ and suffering difficulties, the Divine Providence was giving me my reward and provisions in a sweet manner.
One of them: The sweet morsels brought by the brave Tahirî as a gift, with an amazing blessing, I used to eat two or three each day, yet they never ran out. I was amazed. Today, according to my habit, I was going to take two; I looked and saw only two left. For economy, I took one. At the same time, under the copies written by the two innocent children of Hıfzı in a box, I was given sweets and bread, exactly like Tahirî's morsels, and in the same quantity as his. While I was enjoying this sweet coincidence, yesterday at the same time, I had a high fever and was drinking a lot of water. Suddenly, I longed for the Urugan plum compote. I didn't know it, I had forgotten it; the Urugan plum, which I used to consume a lot and was accustomed to for cooling my fever, was given to me in a box, along with the sugar of Nurcu Sherife Hanım, a close friend of Âsiye. I accepted both the gifts of the innocent children and Tahirî's offering a hundredfold for the memory of this very sweet coincidence. My greetings to all of you.
Said Nursî

Beloved, sincere, and selfless brothers; the visits of two miracles and two birds to the congratulatory letters of the İnebolu heroes are very meaningful. Indeed, while only one person is investigating and paying attention to my single letter under pressure, the Risale-i Nur's Zülfikâr-ı Mu'cizat, which has thousands of copies, is written in a thousand languages and with thousands of letters, and which has many rivals and followers and cannot descend to correspondence, is being written freely and without censorship by the pen of Ahmed Nazif, who has spoken and given influential lessons far more than ten thousand times. Not only birds, perhaps even some angels and spiritual figures might come and congratulate on this miraculous success, which would still not be excessive. We too say thousands of "Baraka Allah" and "Mashallah" and "Wafaka Kümullah" to those small heroes of Isparta. With all our soul and spirit, we congratulate them and emphasize the need for caution and attention in this very important task.
