In His Name, be He glorified!
My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Because, due to a vein of Wahhabism, the experts’ committee was unable to endure Imam ‘Ali’s (May Allah be pleased with him) earnest interest in and appreciation of the Risale‑i Nur, and was influenced by the groundless suspicions that last year caused Zamzam water to be poured away and this year prevented people going to make the Hajj, it directed its unfair, incorrect, and unjustifiable jealous criticisms at the Fifth Ray. At this time of suspicion and alarm, the safest place for us is prison. Allah willing, the treatises of the Risale‑i Nur will win the freedom of both us and themselves.
Since under these harsh conditions in the face of so many opponents they are making themselves read in unprecedented fashion, and making their students work in prison in various ways, and through divine favour not allowing them to be ruined; we are bound to be content with this much and to offer thanks instead of complaining. It is because of this contentment that I am able to endure all my severe distress. I do not interfere in Allah’s concerns.
Said Nursi
