My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Firstly: The following was imparted to me in connection with the newspaper article about me: an imperious Russian commander swallowed his anger in the face of the dignity of your belief, and apologized, so if the officials who have seen the truly powerful, sincere teachings – a hundred times better than I could give – of the Risale‑i Nur which gain firm belief for a person, persist in their obduracy and do not see the matter fairly, certainly no punishment other than Hell could purify them. The penalty for such a vast crime could not be paid in a brief lifetime. For if oil goes bad, it is inedible; it is not like milk and yoghurt. Allah willing, the Risale‑i Nur will save most of them, before they are corrupted.
Secondly: Let Mehmed Feyzi write to Bedri and tell him that I am including all those he mentioned in his letter in my prayers. They too should pray for me.
Said Nursi
