love it with all their lives and spirits. As for the effects of my person, I can tell definitely that although I feel annoyance and vexation for a minute or two, I then find such consolation that even if your insults were to increase a thousandfold, they could not negate it. For according to the certain disclosures of the Risale-i Nur and as we have explained with thousands of proofs which confute the philosophers, all those who assault us on account of irreligion will be abhorred in everlasting torment and solitary confinement and eternal execution, while the students who save their belief through the Risale-i Nur will receive their release papers with death and their vouchers for eternal happiness and they will be honoured with everlasting esteem, kindness, and bestowal.

Also, unlike the Old Said, the New Said is completely against being esteemed and held in high regard and seeking fame and renown, and in no way accepts such things, and has therefore preferred to live in seclusion for twenty years. So if you are doing all this to destroy his influence and discredit him in the public view on account of public security and government, you are making a grave error. This is shown by the fact that three courts in two years could find absolutely nothing in twenty years of my life and my one hundred and twenty works or among the one hundred and twenty thousand Risale-i Nur students, that might lead to a disturbance of the peace or was incriminating or against the country and nation, so they acquitted us and returned all the parts of the Risale-i Nur. I declare to you with total certainty that you who oppress us on account of irreligion, persecute me and cause unrest on account of foreign interests to the detriment of this country and nation and public peace and security; encouraging anarchy, you seek that foreign current's intervention. In consequence, I attach not the slightest importance to your scorn and humiliation, and I have decided to endure it in patience for the sake of public order and security.

Of a certainty, this world is not permanent and its events are stormy and in constant flux. Several hours of crimes produce the results of endless torments in this world and the next. You shall then lament to no avail. So I say to you wretches as as I said to the authorities and the officials concerned with us: With the Risale-i Nur we are endeavouring to repulse the two gravest dangers threatening this country and its future, and we have in part proved this in fact with many signs, and even in court,

The First Danger: Anarchy, against which we form a barrier, is trying with all its strength to infiltrate this country from outside.

The Second: The disgust of three hundred and fifty million Muslims, which we transform into brotherhood, thus ensuring the strongest point of support for this country. ∗∗∗
