My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
I have received your gifts, like felicitous fruits of Paradise, and your good news from the region of Denizli. The many tasks I have on hand at the moment do not allow me to say much; I have had to cut this short and write quickly since the person who brought it is leaving at once.
Firstly: The one thousand three hundred and forty‑four for a handhold most sure at the beginning of the piece is wrong. But if the two hamzas and the elongation are not counted it is not wrong; it is most meaningful. One thousand three hundred and forty‑seven is correct, which was anyway written at the end of the piece. The remaining section is both very signficant, but because it looks to this world and the 'alaq in Indeed man is overweening looks to the idol in the piece, it has not been written for now.
And Secondly: The index of the Fourth Ray, about For us God suffices, should take the place of the Fourteenth Hope of the Treatise for the Elderly. It does seem to be appropriate and is indeed a hope.
Thirdly: The Twenty‑Eighth Point of the Twenty-Eighth Flash should be placed at the end of the Fifteenth Word, not in the same index, for they discuss the same truths.
Fourthly: I have corrected the Flashes [Collection] that the late Hâfız Ali wrote out. God willing, it will be sent to you soon,
While correcting the paradaisical prison Fruits of those happy heroes recently, the treatise seemed to me to be so powerful and valuable that I shouted out: "If the distress we suffered in prison had been a hundred times greater, the benefits produced by The Fruits of Belief have been a hundred times more numerous. The most obdurate people have come to believe through it, and it has caused itself to be read in the widest circles. I exclaimed: “You unfortunates who torment me! You do what you like, it doesn't bother me. Whatever we suffered was insignificant; it was pure divine favour and mercy!” and was consoled.
We send greetings to all the Risale‑i Nur students and pray for their well-being.
Saîd Nursî
