buys them gets at least ten other people to read them. Because there are only a few copies.

Secondly: I liked your defence speech in the court; it is very good. It is also good that the trial has been postponed to the twenty-second of December (Teşrin). The parts they are holding are anyway the share of officials; they should read them. If they don't, those parts just being found in the offices near them means that they receive instruction in some way, so don't worry. The unfolding and conquests of the Risale-i Nur are slowly increasing, covering numerous officials. The officials have begun to be curious and are seeking it out. When they find it, they respect it although they receive a slap from it.

Thirdly: I was overjoyed by the letters sent by young İbrahim and Salih, two of the young heroes of Isparta. May God bless them! And just as those two brothers visited our leading brothers in that region and described how they were in their letters; so I have received a fine letter from a new brother describing how such places on the Black Sea coast as Ordu, Sinop, Gerze, Ayancık, Bartın, and Zonguldak are being illuminated by the Risale-i Nur. He says that Nurju preachers in Üsküdar in Istanbul are working at it, and that he himself has a business in Gerze, is most eager for the Risale-i Nur, and has resolved to work wholeheartedly at it. I send many greetings to him and to İbrahim and Salih, and congratulate them and pray for their success.

Fourthly: The Imam of Alamescid, our active brother İbrahim Edhem, has found two preachers, Ali Şentürk and Osman Nuri, who are fully Nurjus like himself. With their sincere, devoted, and resolute services for the Risale-i Nur, the preachers have been admitted to the circle of select students in the way they wished for in their letter. May Almighty God grant them success. Amen! I send many greetings to Ali Rıza, the mufti of that district, who is named in Ali Şentürk's letter. Many valuable brothers so-named have entered the fold of the Risale-i Nur so tell him that he will be a fine example to many people. I send endless greetings to everyone. ∗∗∗

I have sent to the printer Aziz in Istanbul the thirtieth part of the Qur'an (cüz') containing the subtle coincidences (tevâfukat) in Sura al-Rahman together with another part with fine coincidences. He liked them very much and gave his word that whenever we want he will print them photographically, as he did the Hizb-i Kur'âniye and the Hizb-i Nuriye. He had promised to send one million copies of the Qur'an to India and said it
