My Dear, Loyal Brothers !

Firstly: We congratulate you with our whole life and spirit on your activity and successes. The activities and triumphs of the Medresetü'z- Zehrâ are a remedy for all my pains and illnesses.

Secondly: I wrote a note for The Staff of Moses' being translated into good Arabic. I was going to send it with Zübeyir to Seyyid Salih in Ankara. I was also going to send to you via Ankara, a sincere letter from a retired officer in Tarsus and a letter requesting some books from the Risale-i Nur. Then suddenly Ibrahim Efendi arrived here having come as far as Afyon together with his wife in the name of the devoted Nurjus of Elmalı near Antalya, where he works at publishing the Risale-i Nur, so I sent them with him. With greetings to everyone. ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers!

I am referring an important matter to the leading members of the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ. Seyyid Sâlih said that he had understood from his journey in Arabia that there was much need for The Staff of Moses there and that it would be most beneficial and should be translated into Arabic. My condition and illness do not permit me, so in my place the leading students of the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ should get in touch with four different places with a view to having a good translation done. One letter should be sent to al-Azhar University with Kılınç Ali, where a number of literary persons should translate it. Another should be sent to the Directorate of Religious Affairs in Ankara where one or two scholars who sincerely appreciate the Risale-i Nur and are attached to it should translate it. Another letter they should send to my brother Abdülmecid, who is the Mufti of Ürgüp near Kayseri, and who although he should have worked with all his strength for the Risale-i Nur these last twenty years, he didn't, so to make up for it, he should now work with all his might at translating it into Arabic. And the other should be sent to the scholars in the region of Isparta who are within the fold of the Risale-i Nur; dividing up The Staff of Moses among themselves, each should translate a part into Arabic. ∗∗∗
