This Divine Decree and Determining Are an Instance of Your Grace for Us There Is No One Who Suffers Less – in Their Hearts, Spirits, and Minds – Than the Risale-i Nur Students Divine Determining Drove Us to the School of Joseph for We Could Receive a Thorough Lesson in Sincerity The Little Hardship Suffered in the Sacred Service Should Be Met with Eagerness, Thanks, and Patience Imam ‘Ali (May Allah Be Pleased with Him) Prayed: “O Sustainer! Grant Safety!” Since Your Learned Questions Are Keys to Most Important Truths, I Cannot Remain Indifferent to Them Had Those Who in Former Times Preferred the Hereafter to This World Lived in This Age, They Would Have Been Risale-i Nur Students On the Day of ‘Arafa We Used to Recite Sura al-Ikhlas a Thousand Times In Six or Seven Years They Have Triumphantly Accomplished the Work of Twenty or Thirty Years Out of a Useless Caution He Wanted to Withdraw Somewhat from His Most Important Position and Great Share in the Risale-i Nur There Are Two Reasons We Entered This Severe Trial: So That the Loyal and Self-Sacrificing Would Be Separated from the Hesitant and Inconstant, and the Truly Sincere from Those Who Do Not Give Up Their Egotism and Self-Interest Your Steadfastness and Fortitude Are Frustrating All the Plans of the Masons and Dissemblers Let Their Doors Be Closed! It Worries Me, Since Their Pens Are Dedicated and Appointed to the Qur’an and the Qur’anic Script I and Others Saw a Single Grain Grow More Than Ten Times Larger Does Making This Known Not Diminish Its Reward? I Opened Imam Ghazali’s Hizb al-Masun Your Being Consolers to One Another and Examples to Be Followed in Morals and Patience Reduces Those Material Hardships to Nothing We Entered This Distressing Trial with a Duty Pertaining to Belief and the Hereafter The Service of Saving Belief Under Such Severe Conditions Is Above Everything Do Not Worry, Those Lights Will Shine The Risale-i Nur Is a Means of Preserving Anatolia from Heavenly and Earthly Calamities, Like the Ark on Mount Judi They Will Interfere with the Risale-i Nur, but They Will Suffer Loss The Fruits of Belief, Firm and Unshakeable as a Mountain, Was Dictated to Us as the Most Powerful Defence Against Them, to Silence Them Although Your Quarters Are Very Cramped, the Breadth of Your Hearts Pays No Heed to That Distress To See Forty or Fifty Sincere Friends Together for a Month or Two in This Strange Friendless Age, and to Converse for Allah’s Sake I Am Convinced That Among You Are Many Strong, Steadfast, Young Saids Who Will Be the Owners, Heirs, and Protectors of the Risale-i Nur You Are Bound to the Risale-i Nur for the Hereafter, for Good, for Worship and Reward, for Belief and the Hereafter Steadfast Heroes Like Those of Isparta and Its Surroundings, Constant as Steel and Iron The Dreadful Masons Have Set a Merciless Mason upon Me Preserving Solidarity; Guarding Against Egotism, Self-Regard, and Rivalry; Composure and Caution The Plans of the Covert Atheists Have Come to Nothing and Proved False Most of Mankind Is Afflicted with Material and Immaterial Calamities, in Heart, Spirit, and Mind Even the Sleep of Students of the Religious Sciences Is Counted as Worship It Is Necessary and Essential to Be Extremely Cautious, Not to Take Offence or Give It, and to Allow No Room for Discord We Must Meet All Calamities, Hardships, and Enemies with Perfect Fortitude I Sensed That the True Cause of the Attacks and Aggression Against Us Was Not the Fifth Ray, but Rather the Hizb al-Nuri, the Key to Belief, and the Conclusive Proof The Price of These Two Results Is Unshakeable Loyalty and Steadfastness One Important Divine Favour Is Not to Make His Favour Felt by One Who Has Not Given Up His Egotism One Who Gives Up the Pleasure of His Soul and with Humility Preserves Solidarity and Unity Gains a Rank Higher Than a Saint Occupying Oneself with the Risale-i Nur by Reading and Writing Greatly Lightens Distress Since the Risale-i Nur Students Follow the Way of Friendship, Brotherhood, and Annihilation in the Brothers, Allah Willing They Will Frustrate This Tried and Hypocritical Plan Too In Former Times, Because a Shaykh Had Very Many Disciples, the Government of That Country Grew Politically Alarmed and Wanted to Disperse His Community When One Sees a Brother Going Wrong, It Befits the Loyal Not to Abandon Him but to Strengthen Their Brotherhood Further and Work for His Reform The Supplicant The Reason I Attach Such Great Importance to Your Solidarity Beware, Beware, Do Not Dispute; Spying Ears Will Take Advantage Read Carefully and Repeatedly the Pieces Written About Patience and Endurance However Much Hardship We Suffer, It Is Still Cheap It Was Not Possible, for Two Reasons, to Flee from and Escape This Calamity of Ours The Evil Eye Affects Me Severely and Makes Me Ill The Precise Coincidence of Four Dreadful Earthquakes with Four Violent Attacks at the Same Time Cannot Be Chance Whoever Sees the Risale-i Nur’s Manner of Exposition Cannot Remain Indifferent Before the Earthquake, Cats and Dogs Gathered in Threes and Fives, Sat Together for a While, Then Dispersed It Became Necessary to Explain a Few Points For a Few Days I Have Changed One of My Prayers Since in Prison Every Hour of Worship Counts as Twelve Hours of Worship, You Are Greatly Profiting A Perfectly Apt Obituary Until the Resurrection, Keep Them Occupied in Perfect Joy and Happiness with the Truths of Belief and Mysteries of the Qur’an in the Guise of the Risale-i Nur Self-Sacrificing Persons Would Die in Place of Their Friends Strong Brotherhood Through the Chain of the Risale-i Nur Is a Good Deed That Earns Forgiveness for a Thousand Sins Were I to Die Now, I Would Meet My Appointed Hour with a Joyful Heart, Saying: They Are There At Times of Serious Upheaval Concerning the Shari‘a and Belief, Many Great Figures of Islam Came to the Rescue and Defeated That Religious Strife So That You Do Not Accuse One Another of Egotism or Disloyalty, I Was Prompted to Explain a Truth Even Those Youths Affirm That the Nine Blows Dealt to the Wayward Youths Were a Subtle Wonder of the Risale-i Nur A Minister of Education Lifted the Veil from His Face and Showed Absolute Unbelief in Another Guise They Went to the Hereafter in Place of Us All and Were Sacrificed for the Sake of Our Safety The Most Essential Thing for Us Is Not to Panic, Not to Despair, and to Strengthen One Another’s Morale If a Single Man Comes to Guidance Through You, It Is Better Than a Desert Full of Red Sheep and Goats Although It Is Reported That Prophets Came from Among the Jinn Too, This Is Our Master’s Reply to a Question Asked in Order to Resolve the Difficulty in This Matter When a Student of the Risale-i Nur Is Lost, Students Emerge Who Carry Out the Duties of Those Heroes Love of That Dreadful Dead Man Is Being Inculcated We Want and Seek That They Live in Both Worlds Since the Risale-i Nur Is a Means of Repelling Calamities Like Almsgiving, Attacking It and Suspending It Weakens Its Defence Against Calamities Together with Caution, Loyalty, Connection, and Service Must Not Be Changed Our Way Is the Abandonment of Egotism, and Brotherhood; There Is No Self-Promoting Ecstatic Talk in It It Is the Strength and Power to Convey the Truths of the Qur’an to Those in Need Many Signs Show That We Are Under Divine Favour It Is Necessary and Essential That You Completely Forgive One Another The Risale-i Nur Is Defeating All the Groups Opposed to Us The Fourteenth Ray The Fifth Ray (the Signs of the End of Time) The Fifteenth Ray (the Shining Proof) The First Ray The Eighth Ray (a Third Wonder of Imam ‘Ali) The Second Chapter of the Twenty-Ninth Flash The Supplicant Index Signs of Miraculousness Staff of Moses Emirdag Letters Comparisons of Belief and Disbelief Rational Arguments
