My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

My stove and the two drinking‑cups of the Feyzi’s, Sabri, and Husrev disintegrating foretold a terrible calamity. It is absolutely essential that we practise true solidarity and disregard one another’s faults, our most powerful point of support, and never take offence at a hero of the Risale‑i Nur like Husrev, since he takes my place and is an important representative of the Risale‑i Nur’s collective personality.

The last few days I felt a terrible distress and despair, and said to myself in alarm: “Our enemies have found a way to defeat us.” Both my stove and the absolutely correct observation I made in my imagination gave correct news.

Beware! Beware! Beware! Quickly repair your solidarity, which up to now has been as strong as steel. There is a strong possibility this incident will cause more harm – especially at this juncture – to our service of the Qur’an and belief than our being sent to prison.
