In His Name, be He glorified!
My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Firstly: I offer you congratulations with all my heart and soul for the month of Rajab and the holy night of Ragha’ib tomorrow.
Secondly: Don’t give up hope, and don’t worry or be alarmed. Allah willing, divine grace will come to our aid. The bomb that was being prepared these last three months exploded. The news given by my stove, Feyzi’s beaker, and Husrev’s two drinking‑cups turned out to be true. But it was not terrible, it was slight. Allah willing, the fire will be extinguished completely. All their assaults are to discredit my person and taint the Risale‑i Nur’s conquests.
The man more harmful than the covert dissembler in Emirdağ and merely a pawn in the hands of secret atheists, and the semi‑hodja who favours the innovations, were trying to strike us as hard as they could, but the blow was reduced twentyfold. Allah willing, they will cause us not even one wound, and what they think and intend and their plans to scare us away from each other and from the Risale‑i Nur will come to nothing.
It is absolutely essential that out of respect for these blessed months, trusting that they are gaining abundant reward for us, we steadfastly offer thanks in patience, and relying on Allah the Most High, submit to the rule He who believes in divine determining is saved from unhappiness.
Said Nursi
