I received Salâhaddin's very lengthy letter which pleased me as much as ten letters and showed how these storms had not affected his loyalty and steadfastness, and that he was ever like an Abdurrahman, and that our brothers in that region work tirelessly, and I exclaimed: “Ma'shallah!” Father and son are unshakeable like the Isparta heroes. However, since the Risale‑i Nur is now being printed and published, true sincerity, powerful mutual support, and disregard of one another's faults are essential, and our brothers in Kastamonu province have to resemble those of Isparta in sincerity and solidarity. God willing, they will not allow their personal feelings to harm this sacred service either.

Also, it is true that the Risale‑i Nur has won its freedom with its shining, powerful truths and has defeated its enemies in one respect, but we need to be even more cautious than before. For dissembling enemies unceasingly seek pretexts and try to deceive the government.

Salâhaddin asks about a personal matter and wants to attach himself to worldly social life. But he is one of the select Nur students so he should in no way attach himself if it causes harm to the work of the Risale‑i Nur. He may do if he knows that that his life-companion will work and assist him in the Risale-i Nur's service like those of some of our select brothers. For their lives belong to the Risale-i Nur and they may marry if approved by students representing its collective personality. God willing, it will cause no harm and his parents are in favour of it.
