[A short, private letter that may be added as a supplement to the Third

Matter of the Twent y-Eighth Letter.]

My Brothers of the Hereafter  and Hard-Working  Students,  Husrev Efendi and Re’fet Bey!

We perceived three instances of Qur’anic wonder-working in the lights of the Qur’an  known  as the Words.  Now through  your  effort  and  enthusiasm,  you  have caused a fourth to be added. The three I know are these:

T  h  e    F  i  r  s  t  is  the  extraordinary  ease  and  speed  in  their  writing.  The Nineteenth Letter was written in two or three days working for three or four hours each day making a total of twelve hours, without any other book, in the mountains and orchards. The Thirtieth Word was written in five or six hours at a time of illness. The Twenty-Eighth Word, the discussion on Paradise, was written in one or two hours in Süleyman’s garden in the valley. Tevfik, Süleyman and I were astonished at this speed. And so on. And just as there is this wonder of the Qur’an in their composition

…

T h e  S e c o n d,  … so too in their being written out and copied there is an extraordinary facility, enthusiasm, and lack of boredom. One of these Words appears, and suddenly,  although there are many things at this time to weary the mind and spirit, people in many places start to write it out with total enthusiasm. They prefer it to anything else despite other pressing occupations. And so on.

T h e  T h i r d  Q u r ’ a n i c  W o n d e r :  The reading of the Words does not cause boredom  either. Especially when one feels the need for them; the more one reads them, the more pleasure one receives, feeling no weariness.

Now you have proved a fourth Qur’anic wonder. A brother like Husrev who was lazy and although for five years he had heard about the Words, did not start writing them  seriously,  in one  month  wrote out  fourteen  books  beautifully  and  carefully, which was doubtless the fourth wonder of the Qur’an’s mysteries. He perfectly appreciated  the value  of the Thirty-Three  Windows  in particular,  the Thirty-Third Letter,  since  it was  written  out  most  beautifully  and  carefully.  Yes,  it  is a  most powerful, brilliant piece for gaining knowledge of God and belief in God. Only, the first Windows are very concise and abbreviated, while the subsequent ones gradually unfold and shine more brilliantly. Contrarily to other writings, most of the Words start off concisely and gradually expand and illuminate.
