My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

We again congratulate you on the blessed month of Ramadan. We also congratulate with all our life and spirit Süleyman Rüştü's blessed daughter who is working on a typewriter at Zülfikar Mu'cizat and is like the eighth of two heroic brothers' seven children in The Miracles of Muhammad. And congratulate too their undertaking with great self-sacrifice to duplicate the beautiful and careful writings of Husrev and Tahirî. May God bless them and grant them success thousands of times over for the superhuman, valuable and fruitful services they have up to now performed for the Risale-i Nur! What wonders God has willed! [^62]

[^62]:It is a subtle coincidence that no rain had fallen for a month and our hearts were weeping at the slackness that had overcome the Nurjus due to the known assault, then suddenly just when Husrev's good news of the duplicating machine arrived two days ago, and Nazif's detailed letter came today, and the sample of the machine's writing reached me, and those who assist me said that the call to prayer had once again been recited in Arabic in Eskişehir, and that that man who had given the compulsory order to the sergeant to insult me had received a blow, just at this very time it began to rain. This divine mercy of rain exactly coinciding with the great joy, happiness, and expansiveness that our hearts were experiencing, which had long been weeping, augurs well for the future, God willing!

I have received a letter from Mehmed Zekeriya, who lives in the vicinity of İnebolu and is one of our brothers who has performed many services for the Risale-i Nur with his fine pen. It dispelled my anxieties and filled me with joy. He writes that he is now busy with teaching children the Qur'an and instructing them in matters of belief, which is one of the duties of the Risale-i Nur. You write and tell him that what he is doing now is as valuable for the Risale-i Nur as were his previous services.

Also, the many treatises that you write out serve the spreading of the Risale-i Nur in your place. He should not worry, he preserves his former position. ∗∗∗
