such as respiration and pollination. It proves in decisive fashion that it is a place of maximum manifestation of the divine will and command. I came to the firm conclusion that it proves that in no way is there any possibility of vagrant chance, blind force, deaf nature, confused and aimless causes, and powerless, lifeless, unknowing matter interfering in the writing and duties of the page of the air. And I understood that every particle and part of it declares with the tongue of its being: "There is no God but He," and, "Say, He is God, the One." Just as with the key of 'He' I saw these wonders in the material aspect of the air, so also, as a 'He' , did the element air become a key to the World of Similitudes and the World of Meaning.
I have not been inspired to write the rest of this for now. Endless greetings to everyone.
Your brother,

My Brothers !
Don't worry! Be content with the Risale-i Nur's extraordinary hidden victories. At no time upto the present has any work spread so effectively in such difficult conditions. The reason it has not been given its complete freedom is that they are scared of its unusual power. Although they recognize and appreciate it, news has been received of the Director of Religious Affair's meeting with the top man and that they are frightened to have it officially disseminated at present, surmising that it might lead to disturbances. They are not attacking it as formerly; indeed, they want to be conciliatory. God willing, the powerful currents in favour of the Risale-i Nur will turn their unease into the desire to publish it officially. Also, numerous egotistical people do not support the Risale-i Nur's open publication because they are jealous and want to spread their own works. But don't worry, the Risale-i Nur will prevail! ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !
Firstly: I have received the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ's twenty lessons and gift. In return, in order to assist its sacred lessons, I have sent with Hâfız Mustafa, who is a leading disseminator of the Risale-i Nur and Hâfız Ali's diligent heir, the ninety liras which is what remains from the salary given
