I have received the two large and truly fine Nur gifts of Küçük Ali, who is fully the heir of the elder Ali and works on his system, and is the veritable equivalent and successor of Abdurrahman, and the heroic champion of the blessed people. However, the piece from the Hizb‑i Nûriye was not written at the end of Zülfikar; let him write it with that wondrous pen of his, and send it to me.
Note: In my native region, when one of the medrese students finished a book or began one, it was the custom to give them a sweet or some such thing, called a muftihane and mahtumane. I observed this very same rule in the scribe Kâtib Osman. At just the time I had finished the corrections of The Staff of Moses he had written, these grapes arrived as mahtumane, which was a sweet and subtle event and a pleasant reminder of medrese life.
Because compassion is a basic principle of the Risale‑i Nur and women are more advanced in that respect, they embrace the Risale-i Nur earnestly. When I say my brothers, I mean that women are included among them. They too are addressed in all my letters.
