In His Name, be He glorified!
Our Beloved Master!
While the main duty of the scholars of the experts’ committee was to defend and protect the believers and especially those who uphold the Qur’an, with their biased reports about us they have driven the Afyon legal authorities to investigate us in the closest detail; have kept you, our beloved Master, under the severest repression for eight months; been the cause of prolonging the imprisonment of us students; and have studied the undeniably miraculous truths of the Risale‑i Nur in a spirit of jealousy. Doubtless, your writings replying to their reports, which incited Afyon Court against us, were the work of your compassion.
Let alone defending you, our beloved Master, who for twenty‑five years has been struggling against our covert enemies with a handful of students, and the Risale‑i Nur, which comprises the Qur’an’s most important truths, although it is your right to ask numerous questions of these scholars who have formed a front against us in this our most perilous hour, your very minor questions will do nothing except warn them.
The “special favour” is a supreme divine bounty. Arising from sources we have much need of in these sensitive times, it transforms our despair into pride and has again been manifested here in Afyon Prison. The earth, which has not trembled for eight months, again became angry today and twice shook as you were describing the earthquakes which occur when you, our beloved Master, and the Risale‑i Nur are attacked. We witnessed it as well, and it strengthened our hope. It pitied your apparent aloneness in the face of the fearsome onslaughts of the cruel enemies thirsting to destroy you. It had physical compassion on your powerlessness, came to your assistance, and with the quaking earth affirmed the rightness of your cause. Giving the good news of “Victory is ours,” which through a divine, angelic power, issues from your blessed pen, it made us truly grateful to our beloved Master.
The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One,Your very faulty student, Husrev
