My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
In addition to congratulating you on the festival, I am now explaining to you, as I said I would, that in consequence of a sort of admonishment I have accepted each of you according to his degree as a Said, an heir, and a guard and defender of the Risale‑i Nur. Since, owing to your excessively good opinion of me, you look on me as a master in the sciences of belief and in serving the Qur'an, I for my part award you diplomas, like the masters of former times awarded certificates for the religious sciences to those of their students who deserved them. And I congratulate you wholeheartedly and with all my life and spirit. God willing, as you have loyally and sincerely published the Risale-i Nur uptil now, so you will continue even more brilliantly, and become thousands of capable and strong Saids, devoted to their duty, in place of this powerless, weak, retired Said.
Saîd Nursî
