In His Name, be He glorified!
My Dear, Loyal, Unshakeable Brothers!
Firstly: In accordance with the meaning of Good lies in what Allah the Most High wishes, there must be some good in our case being delayed. My heart and the Risale‑i Nur’s freedom demanded that it should be thus. By consoling each other, strengthening each other’s morale, and scholarly debate and pleasant conversation, and by writing out and studying the Risale‑i Nur, you will be successful in attracting divine mercy, which erases the point of difficulty, and in transforming these transitory hours into eternal ones.
Secondly: Since we exchanged the Festival greetings in the temporary prison of the court, as a Festival sweet I sent what is for me the very meaningful honey from the village of Nurs together with the Zamzam water which Zübeyir, the hero from Konya, brought me. Put the water in the flask of honey and mix them together. Then leave the Zamzam in it, and drink it with good health.
