together affirm the Qur'an. In fact, it would be good news if only ten famous people or scientists (feylesof) affirmed it; it would truly boost the morale of the people at large. ∗∗∗

The wisdom in the Qur'anic symbols and coincidences in such parts of the Risale-i Nur's Twenty-Ninth Letter as The Six Attacks (Hücumat-ı Sitte) and its appendix, and The Seven Signs (İşârât-ı Seb'a), and The Nine Allusions (Telvihat-ı Tis'a) was their being a factor that silenced the courts and the committee of experts and our not being held guilty because of them. It is as though those symbols and subtle, profound matters told them in unexpressed words to be fair-minded and not to bother those working at such deep mysteries of the Qur'an. Now, the confused arrangement of the symbols and coincidences in those treatises is quite inapt, for only one person out of twenty is needy for them and may understand them, whereas nineteen out of twenty people may need and understand them in the other treatises.

The Nur students here say that their brothers in Denizli have examined our miraculous Qur'an for three years, so they should now permit us to peruse it for three months. The students here are also going to get in touch with Istanbul from here, to have the Hizb-i Nûriye and Hizb-i Kur'aniye printed photographically. ∗∗∗

Tell that friend and brother of ours who wants to send Zülfikar and The Staff of Moses to the Muslim committee in America via the American ambassador that because ambassadors' heads are busy with politics and the Risale-i Nur is unconcerned with politics, such political heads cannot quickly appreciate it. In addition, the Risale-i Nur does seek customers; the customers have to seek it out and plead for it. America follows even the most trifling events here inquisitively, so it will certainly be curious about the Risale-i Nur, the event of greatest importance here, and will seek it out. Subsequently, you and the select students who represent the Risale-i Nur's collective personality will manage all our affairs. I too have a vote for now.

Your brother who sends thousands of greetings to all our brothers and prays for their well-being and requests their prayers. ∗∗∗
