In His Name, be He glorified!
Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings, for ever and ever!
My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Firstly: Endless thanks be to Almighty God that you, the leading students of the Medresetü'z‑Zehrâ, demonstrate that medrese's essential meaning, which for fifty-five years has been my long-sought goal and is a result of my life.
Secondly: Since I am unable due to severe illness and other causes to speak with my Nurju brothers and I am deprived of their conversation, I appoint both you, and the lessons the Risale‑i Nur has given to the New Said in the Qur'an medrese, and the lessons concerning the life of society the Old Said received in the medrese of The Damascus Sermon and its addenda, to speak in place of this wretched brother of yours with my brothers whom I miss so greatly.
Thirdly: I offer my condolences to the hero Tahirî, who has made his own house into a small Nur School, and to his relatives, and Isparta, and the Nur circles, on the death his father, who gave his son Tahirî, the outstanding, sincere disseminator of the Risale‑i Nur, Tahirî, to its fold. May Almighty God grant mercy to his spirit to the number of the Risale-i Nur's letters.
Fourthly: İnebolu set aside three hundred copies of Zühretü'n‑Nur for my account. So I said that one hundred and fifty should be sent to me, and one hundred and fifty to Isparta. Mine arrived, and as for yours, they can be in exchange for the Letters Collections you are going to give me later, and if I owe you anything, you can fix the account.
Fifthly: Convey my greetings to my brothers in 'Iraq and particularly to the keeper of Ustad‑i A'zam's tomb and my brothers in Baghdad, and tell them that if my life permits, I desire with all my life and spirit to travel to that region.
The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!Your ill brother,Saîd Nursî
