A Perfectly Apt Obituary
My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
For all calamities: To Allah do we belong and to Him is our return. I offer my condolences to myself, to you, and to the Risale‑i Nur, and I congratulate Hafız Ali and the Denizli graveyard. That heroic brother of ours who knew with knowledge of certainty the truths of The Fruits of Belief, has left his body behind in his grave to ascend to the stations of vision of certainty and absolute certainty, to journey round the stars and the world of spirits like the angels. He carried out his duty to the letter and he has been discharged to take his rest.
May the Most Merciful of the Merciful write merits in the book of his good deeds to the number of the letters of the Risale‑i Nur, both written and read. Amen! And may He pour down blessings onto his spirit to their number. Amen! And may He make the Qur’an and the Risale‑i Nur pleasant, friendly companions to him in his grave. Amen! And may He bestow ten heroes to take his place in the Light Factory, and put them to work. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Remember him in your prayers like me. I beseech divine mercy that a thousand tongues will be employed in place of his single tongue and he will gain a thousand lives in place of the single life and tongue he lost.
