In His Name, be He glorified!

And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise (Q 17:44).

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings, for ever and ever!

My Dear Brothers in Emirdağ !

Tell those who harbour suspicions about me: With its thorough searches the government has obtained all the letters and books that this person we assist has written over twenty years, both confidential and otherwise, and has learnt all his secrets. But in none of the five trunks of books and papers that the judicial authorities of both Isparta, and Denizli, and Ankara have studied for nine months, has anything been found that necessitates a single day's penalty of a single Nur student, For both the Ankara experts' committee and Denizli Court unanimously decided on their acquittals.

Moreover, this person whose essential needs we have attended to out of respect for his age, has stated in court and citing as witnesses all his companions who were present has been backed up by them, that for twenty years he has not read a single newspaper nor read anything about politics, nor asked about them nor spoken of them; and for the last ten years has not known any leading politicians except for two government chiefs, one governor, and one deputy, nor has he wanted to learn about them; and for the past three years he has neither asked about the World War, nor known about it, nor been curious about it, nor has he listened to the radio. And although over the past twenty years a hundred thousand people have studied closely the hundred and thirty pieces he has written, which have spread everywhere, the government has not learnt of any harm they have caused to the administration, or to public order, or to the country, or the nation. Neither the observant police and detectives of five provinces, nor the judicial authorities of three provinces or the centre of government or their criminal courts, have discovered even the slightest matter constituting an offence, and so have been obliged to acquit them.

Is it at all possible that if this person had nurtured worldly and political ambitions there would have been no indication or sign of them? But at no stage of the court proceedings did they find any trace of them, so that an obdurate public prosecutor was forced to use possible occurences instead of actual ones, and in the indictment repeatedly said "he might do" rather than "he did do." What does it mean, "he might do"? In fact, Said said to him in the court: "Anyone might commit a murder, so according to your accusations, everyone should be taken to court including yourself!"
