First Part From the Staff of MosesA Fruit of Denizli Prison

This is a defence of the Risale‑i Nur against atheism and absolute disbelief. It is our true defence in this imprisonment of ours, for it is the only thing we are working at.

This treatise is a fruit and souvenir of Denizli Prison, and the product of two Fridays.

We shall explain five or six of those summaries.
