In His Name, be He glorified!
My Dear, Loyal, Unshakeable Brothers, who know the true nature and meaning of reliance on Allah the Most High!
Although for twenty years I have felt no curiosity to either read or ask about any newspaper, with much regret I today saw, only for the sake of some of our weak brothers, a newspaper article. I understood from it that covertly and openly a number of important movements are playing false parts. Since we appear in the public eye, it is supposed we are connected with those movements.
Allah willing, the four boxes of powerful, irrefutable treatises and notebooks of decisive defences will produce good results for both us, and belief and the Qur’an, and Islam. We have not meddled in their worlds and they have in no way established that we are going to meddle. Ankara was compelled to request the whole Risale‑i Nur in order to scrutinize it.
Since this is the fact and since up to now in the service of the Risale‑i Nur we have witnessed the manifestation of dominical grace to an undeniable degree – we have all experienced this, particular and universal; and since many of the movements of politics and the world are mustering forces against each other; and since we can do nothing except be content with the divine decree and submit to divine determining, and receive the vast and sacred consolation arising from the service of belief and the Qur’an and the Risale‑i Nur; certainly, what falls to us before anything else is not be alarmed and not to despair and to strengthen one another’s morale and not to be frightened and to meet this calamity trusting in Allah the Most High, and recognize to be molehills the mountains which the inane, clamorous journalists who make mountains out of molehills, and to give them no importance.
The life of this world is without value, especially at this time and under these conditions. Whatever happens to one, one should meet it contentedly.
