My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
I am compelled to reply to your very relevant letters with a single short one.
Firstly: Re'fet's questions have led to the emergence of numerous luminous truths. His both teaching the Qur'an and the Risale‑i Nur to innocent children, and himself being busy with the Flashes (Lem'alar), and his helping me and Husrev with the corrections, and his endeavouring to give fair-minded scholars in Istanbul copies of The Staff of Moses deserve congratulation. But for now his new question cannot be answered, for the time has not yet come.
The heroic Burhan gave a fine answer to the leader of the Free Party. The Nurjus are not concerned with politics; their whole lives are tied to the truths of belief alone. Uptil now, members of a secret society who have exploited politics for irreligion and atheism have crushed the Nurjus with absolute despotism. God willing, a cause will emerge which will break that despotism and deliver the innocent, oppressed Nurjus. However, one has to be extremely careful and cautious. Since the Risale‑i Nur is superior to all the currents in the world and belongs to everyone, it cannot follow or enter one side. It rather assists the just side against the aggressively anti-religious; it is friendly towards the just side and is like a point of support and reserve force for it. But this is not on account of politics. Nevertheless, some of the brothers may enter politics in their own name, not that of the Risale-i Nur, in order to secure its publication and interests. Especially since up to the present blessed Isparta has been the Nur Medrese and its opponents have not caused too much harm, not to take sides internally might be a means of those opponents repenting and returning to the truth. But you know this better than I do.
Salâhaddin's letter is important in several respects; of course the American scholars will not be indifferent towards The Staff of Moses, It will make conquests if those who love religion for religion's sake obtain copies of it, for if others get hold of it, it is doubtful that they will try to publish and spread it, due to feelings of jealousy like our egotistical hojas. However, we assign the matter to divine providence‥
