My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Just as every group of the worldly engaged in politics, art, or some duty, or some task related to the life of society, or some particular commercial activity, gathers together in congresses of a sort to discuss its work, so the Risale‑i Nur students, who are engaged in the sacred service of certain, realized belief, have gathered together in the congress of this School of Joseph at the order of divine determining, impelled by dominical grace. Allah willing, numerous valuable, beneficial and significant results will be bestowed in consequence, and that if the leading students have a value of one in other places like an alif, here coming shoulder to shoulder with three other alifs and meeting with them, they will become one thousand one hundred and eleven, and in consequence of this coming together their value, and Allah willing, their sacred service and reward, will be a thousandfold; the single alif will become a thousand.
