In His Name, be He glorified!
My Dear, Loyal, Sincere, Steadfast, Devoted Brothers!
Firstly: The reason I don’t keep a copy of The Mystery of To you have We granted with me is that long ago there was some confusion in two premonitions I had.
The First: I perceived through a premonition a terrible event that would occur in this country alone, and the rise of tyrants. The mighty mystery became apparent twelve years later as I had foretold, but in the large sphere, on the face of the earth. For sure it apparently altered what I had predicted, but in reality it turned out to be completely correct and pure truth. For this reason, I do not keep that treatise with me and I do not give it to others.
Secondly: Forty years ago I used repeatedly to say: “I see a light.” I used to give good tidings of it. I supposed the light to be on a country‑wide scale. However, it was the Risale‑i Nur; I reckoned the circle of the Risale‑i Nur students to be the political sphere of the whole country, and I was in error.
