My Dear, Loyal Brothers! This was imparted to me now as I was performing the prayers: because of their excessively good opinion of you, your brothers await instruction and assistance, both material and spiritual, from you. Just as in worldly affairs you have handed things over to the select (hâs) students, leaving these matters to the leading students (erkân) to confer over, and you were right to do so;

so you too have appointed the Risale‑i Nur and the collective personality of its students to perform your scholarly work related to belief, the Qur’an and the hereafter. The collective personality of those purely sincere select students performs that duty of yours much more completely than you, in addition to the duties of its members. They always have done so up to now. For instance, someone who meets with you and receives brief, minor instruction and a little advice, may receive from a single part of the Risale‑i Nur instruction a hundred times greater. They may also receive advice from it.

Thinking that their collective personality, whose station is extremely elevated and prayers acceptable, is an Ustad and helper who, Allah willing, is always with them, it was consolation for my spirit, and good news, and made me feel at peace.
