In His Name, be He glorified!
And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise.
My Dear Brothers!
This morning before dawn a piece was suddenly imparted to me. Yes, I confirm the wonder (kerâmet) of the Risale‑i Nur concerning the earthquake that Husrev wrote in detail; what I thought also centred on that. For just as the coinciding of the four occasions of severe aggression against the Risale‑i Nur and its students and the four occasions of the assaults of earthquakes were not chance, so the exact coincidence of the two centres of the Risale‑i Nur’s dissemination, Isparta and Kastamonu, being preserved from disaster relative to other places; and as alluded to by Sura al‑‘Asr, since the means of salvation from the Second World War – mankind’s greatest loss at the end of time – is belief and good works; it cannot be mere chance that the Risale‑i Nur has spread certain, realized belief all over Anatolia, and Anatolia was saved from the great losses of war in extraordinary fashion.
Also, just as the exact coinciding of those who impede the Risale‑i Nur’s service or those who err in that service receiving blows either of compassion or wrath, cannot be mere chance – of which there have been hundreds of incidents; so too almost without exception the thousands of incidents of all those who serve the Risale‑i Nur well experiencing plenty in their livelihoods and ease of mind and happiness, cannot be mere chance.
