In His Name, be He glorified!

My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

Two or three times I have been afflicted with an important state of mind. Thirty years ago it made me leave Istanbul’s glittering social life while I was in the Darü’l-Hikmeti’l-Islâmiye and took me up the high hill known as Yûsha Tepesi, where it did not even permit me to have the late Abdurrahman, who was in Istanbul and was the first student and hero of the Risale-i Nur, with me to attend to my needs. Now the first stages of a state of mind similar to that revolution of the spirit, which showed up the nature of the New Said, have begun in me. I reckon it is a sign a Third Said will appear, who will abandon the world altogether. That means, the Risale-i Nur and its heroic students will perform my duties, and no need remains for me. Anyway, all the comprehensive parts of the Risale-i Nur and all its unshakeable, sincere students give instruction far better than me.

Firstly: I have surmised from a number of signs that of the collections that have been published, it is the Guide For Youth that they give most importance to. I reckon that Hüve Nüktesi (The Air: A Window Onto Divine Unity) has broken the backs of our covert atheist enemies, and smashed the idol of Nature, their foundation and support. For although it was to an extent possible to hide that idol in the dense earth, it was impossible to do so in the transparent air. As a result, because of their obdurate disbelief and apostasizing obstinacy, they are deceiving the judiciary and inciting it against us. God willing, the Risale-i Nur will induce the members of the judiciary to look on us favourably, and will make this attack come to nothing too.

Secondly: Now, both the Ehl-i Sünnet magazine, and the newspaper here, and Zübeyir’s fiery reply, and their preoccupation with the Risale-i Nur have been effective advertisements for it. You take a look at the pieces about us that would please me, in my place, and then inform me of them.
