now, not of its true need for the Risale-i Nur, but of those matters concerning the Islamic world's religious life. Also, the Risale-i Nur's way looks on egotism and ostentation as a sort of fame-seeking and rejects them, so since in this age of egotism, to try to sell oneself and make oneself liked, and for the Nur students to all of a sudden display themselves through these works in famous places as though they were highly privileged would be a sort of ostentation and pretentiousness. To preserve total sincerity, therefore, divine determining does not permit the Nur students to do this at the present time.

Fourthly: May Almighty God perpetually bestow His grace on Süleyman Rüştü in his material and spiritual commerce in this world and the next, for he is unwavering in his heroism and loyalty, and with his brother is innocent and has performed invaluable services in a short time. Amen!

Fifthly: "A Fine Point Concerning 'He' (Hüve Nüktesi)" is truly subtle though very brief and concise; it has been sent to you, for everyone may perceive the powerful light of belief in it, The phrase: "with the tongue of being and through the testimony and tongue of the above-mentioned truth" is to be added to the sentence near the end: "every particle says with the tongue of its being: 'There is no God but He,' and, 'Say, He is God, the One,' and travels e" This piece on 'He' , together with the imaginary journey related to the verse: "God is the Light of the heavens" (Q 24:35) in the Fifth Section of the Twenty-Ninth Letter, and the other imaginary journey explaining the meaning of community through the door of "do we worship" (Q 1:4) in the Sixth Point of the First Section of the Twenty-Ninth Letter should be together added at the end of The Ratifying Stamp of the Unseen or where you deem appropriate. If the "Inâyât" (the Seventh Part of the Twenty-Eighth Letter) has not been put in The Ratifying Stamp, a summary of it may also be added. I am leaving it up to you. ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !

According to what I have heard, Şemsi and certain authors whose names I consider inappropriate to mention, are publishing a number of parts of the Risale-i Nur in their own names. I consent to this and forgive them and am pleased. They are students of the Risale-i Nur too, and are publishing it in this way. For the past twenty years, many people including high-ranking hojas and authors have taken numerous parts of the Risale-i
