My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
I congratulate you with all my heart and spirit on Ramadan, the Night of Power, and the festival, and wish you all happiness. May the Most Merciful of the Merciful bestow many more on you! Amen.
It is true that I have suffered extreme distress this Ramadan due to the poisoning, but endless thanks be to Almighty God, He bestowed patience and fortitude on me. And the considerable reward for illness dispelled the feelings of heedlessness caused by the distress. So thanks to the blessings of your prayers, I was completely saved this time too from the poisoning. Nevertheless, the weakness and shock it caused continues to upset me from time to time.
As I wrote and told you, just as the Hizb‑i Nuriye is a summary of the Risale-i Nur and of The Supreme Sign; so like the newly Ramadan-published Supreme Sign, a summary of the Hizb-i Nuriye was written in Ramadan through its effulgence, as a manifestation of the thirty-three universal tongues of the thirty-three degrees of the divine necessary existence and unity. My spirit, imagination, and heart so expanded and unfolded that when I uttered the testimony There is no god but God! at each degree, I felt as though I was affirming divine unity on a vast scale and that that tongue was mine. The Supreme Sign may, therefore, impart lights of belief as effulgent as the sun to spirits. I was indubitably certain of this and saw it and understood the importance Imam 'Ali (May God be pleased with him) had given it.
The letter Husrev wrote this time reflecting the feelings of all the Isparta students accords me a share greater than my due, but since it shows the degree of those heroic students' devotion and the Risale‑i Nur's true value, it deserves a place among my letters and The Additional Letters and to be sent to any other high offices you deem suitable. A copy is being sent to you in the new letters.
In acting as an intermediary between the Isparta students and Kastamonu and its leading students, with whom I am closely concerned, Mustafa Osman has performed a most important task in a short time, so earning the right to enter among the select students of the first rank. He must possess complete sincerity to have done so much in so short a time. May Almighty God multiply those like him in that area and grant them success and well‑being. Amen!
I send greetings to each and every one of my brothers and sisters, and I congratulate them and pray for them.
Saîd Nursî
