My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
The plots they have been hatching against me these last few months have been uncovered, and thanks to divine protection, the calamity was reduced twentyfold.
I used to go the mosque when it was empty. Then without my knowledge, the students made a small cubicle for me in the mahfel so that I should not catch cold. For four or five days I decided not to go there. But then, using that well‑known policeman, they removed the cubicle and sent me an official order saying that I could no longer go to the mosque. Without reason they made a mountain out of a molehill and caused a stir. But it is of no account, so don't worry. I reckon that their disparaging me on empty pretexts is to destroy public regard for me on all sides, which is anyway greater than my due. They think of what I used to be like and suppose I shall be unable to abide it. Whereas on condition no harm comes to the well-being and spread of the Risale-i Nur, I offer thanks to God even if I am treated with contempt and tormented a thousand times over. I give no importance to it, and the students here are not shaken at all. Through divine grace, this long-awaited incident caused little harm.
I send greetings to each of all our brothers and offer prayers.
