In His Name, be He glorified!
Firstly: I know that you are not in need of consolation. Strengthen one another’s morale, and that will be sufficient. The wall‑hanging I have on the wall opposite me is sufficient for me. It has been understood that this last attack consisted of completely unjustifiable and illegal intimidation, as the result of groundless suspicions and weakness. However, the stand of the people and police was a sort of objection to that meaningless attack.
Secondly: Is my defence adequate as a reply to the new charges as well? Also, are Zübeyir and the lawyers working? They are not anxious, are they? They should not worry at all. In view of the matters with which they have charged us, they should charge all those who share in the brotherhood of belief, and even all the congregations and imams, and the students of all masters and teachers. This means that their opponents have gained considerable power so that instead of actual incidents they are utilizing possibilities in this panicky way and attacking us with extraordinary delusions.
Thirdly: My own view is that we should remain in prison till the spring. Anyway everything comes to a standstill in winter. Allah willing, divine favour will again come to our aid.
