According to Sabri’s interpretation, in conformity with the allusion of Sura Wa’l‑‘Asr, the Risale‑i Nur is a means of preserving Anatolia, and Isparta and Kastamonu, from heavenly and earthly calamities, like the ark on Mount Judi; they should not therefore interfere with it, or the expected disasters will shortly be visited on them. They should come to their senses. I say again what I said shortly before the disaster, and before those letters had been sent to you. According to news I have now received, Kastamonu and its surroundings and citadel are weeping as though mourning the Risale‑i Nur; it has caught a fever and is shaking with earthquakes; Allah willing, it will be reunited with the Risale‑i Nur, and will laugh again and offer thanks.
I wrote to you the other day about my two important gains. In the second I said, offering supplications and glorifications with hundreds of tongues… till the end. Some is missing here, it should be: Each one of us, according to his degree, offers… with hundreds of tongues… and so on.
Also, a venerable elderly man from the village of Sava, to which I am very attached, was handcuffed to me and we came together; it pleased me greatly and I understood from it the village’s strong attachment to me. I send special greetings to that brother.
