Nur; and here too three brothers from the Çalışkan family, all hardworking students of the Risale-i Nur, and four people altogether were saved from the fire. Both I myself, and themselves, and our other brothers felt certain that all these were wonders of the Risale-i Nur and The Supreme Sign. If there had been even the slightest wind, which usually blows continuously here, most of the shops in the market might well have been burnt down. In fact, the owners of five or ten shops after the Supreme Sign shop, emptied them of goods and fled quite a distance.

Certains signs were apparent when they interfered with me and the Risale-i Nur, and seized my new letters in Sandıklı and between Afyon and Kütahya. They received slaps with those incidents, and with the incidents in Istanbul. Now they have received this blow as the penalty for intending to molest me, God willing, it has made them give up the idea, and has scared and silenced them.

My brothers! Your intelligence and precautions leave no need for my advice concerning your solidarity. But recently I have felt that they are trying to make the Risale-i Nur students suspicious of one another in order to break their solidarity and blame one another, or accuse such-and-such a student of being a spy so that they fall into dispute and disagreement. Be careful! Even if you see such a thing with your own eyes, don't break their cover. Respond to evil with good. But be extremely cautious and don't give away any secrets. Anyway, we don't have any secrets, but there are suspicious people in abundance. If such a thing should happen and one of the students is an agent, try to reform him. Don't rend the veil and break his cover. Your cohesion, especially that of the Isparta School, has acquitted both the Risale-i Nur, and its students, and this country. Also, your unanimity, enthusiasm, and endeavour are of the greatest importance since they encourage others everywhere to work at the Risale-i Nur. May Almighty God grant you persistence and success in this service of belief. Amen. Amen.

I send greetings to each and every one of all the groups of my brothers, and offer prayers for them and request their prayers.

We are absolutely certain about what our Master has written about the fire; we saw it with our own eyes.
