A Letter to Hâfız Mustafa, The Denizli businessman who is originally from Burdur
In His Name, be He glorified! And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise!
Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings to the number of the letters of the Risale‑i Nur!
My Dear, Loyal Brother and Friend, Successful in the Service of the Qur'an!
Welcome a thousand times over! You have made me eternally indebted to you, and with your loyal friends your efforts for the Risale‑i Nur's freedom are so great and valuable that you have made not only us indebted to you, but all the Risale-i Nur students, indeed, this country and even the Islamic world. For you came to the assistance of the believers and opened up the way to the Risale-i Nur's free dissemination. This last year, I have included you and those working with you in my prayers and spiritual gains, together with such heroes of the Risale-i Nur as the late Hâfız Ali and Husrev, and so it will continue. Every minute on the way here, a day, you have made me indebted to you as though you were engaged in the Risale-i Nur work. In addition, I shall never forget as long as I live the person known as the Just Judge and those working with him, for the true justice they dispensed. I have included them in my spiritual gains this last six or seven months.
I am going to reply to my brothers about the part of the Risale‑i Nur they delivered to me; let them write out all of it; I give it to them as a gift. For from now on they shall have a full share of the work. I have decided to look on the town of Denizli as the counterpart of my native town, and to include their dead and the living believers in the spiritual gains of both myself and of the Risale-i Nur students. I look on Denizli Prison as a school of examination, and I send greetings to all those concerned with us both in the town and in the prison, and especially to the board of judges, from whom we received true justice, and we pray for them.
