In His Name, be He glorified!

May the peace of God be upon you, and His mercy and blessings!

I congratulate you with all my heart and soul for the Night of Acquittal, which may gain for the believers the equivalent of fifty years of worship. I await with complete certainty from Divine mercy that through the mystery of spiritual partnership and the effulgence of solidarity, like some angels who utter glorifications with forty thousand tongues, all the purely sincere Risale-i Nur students will be performing their worship and seeking forgiveness as though with forty thousand tongues.

Firstly: At the suggestion of some hojas who support the innovations, the indictment has objected to a matter in the Fifth Ray, as though it does not accept the coming of the Islamic Antichrist (Dajjal), and numerous other Antichrists. An answer to this is the sound Hadith, a brilliant and certain miracle of the Prophet (PBUH): “The caliphate will continue with the sons of my uncle ‘Abbas until it passes into the destructive hand of the Antichrist.”79 That is, the ‘Abbasid caliphate will continue for the lengthy period of five hundred years, then it will be wiped out by one of the three Antichrists, known as Jenghiz and Hulagu, then he will treacherously rule within Islam. That is, as is indicated by numerous Hadiths, there is clear evidence that three Antichrists will appear in the Islamic world. The predictions made by the above Hadith are two clear miracles.

The First is that the ‘Abbasid Caliphate, which was to come into existence, would continue for five hundred years.
