Zülfikar that were held by your court. I had forgotten this here. I am referring this to you: via the mufti of Cezire, write to Imam Abdurrahîm and ask him to correct this error of the scribe. In this way, the leading students of the Medresetü' z-Zehrâ will also be in contact with Cezire.

I also understood from Husrev's letter that Zübeyir had mistakenly sent there the note he was going to send to Nazif. Husrev also made a small mistake, for I had sent a short letter to Nazif about the Tenth Principle of the Twenty-Fourth Word, not the Twenty-Fourth Letter. There is no copy of it left here. I had told him to send the copy of the Tenth Principle to Nazif so that he might send us a copy of the note. Nevertheless, his brilliant, long petition reduced to nothing that small error and had it forgiven. What this means is this: as a meritorious act, Nazif duplicated on the machine Jaushan al-Kabir, which is a supplication much favoured by the Nurjus. He had written to me about duplicating with it, the piece in the footnote about its wondrous merits and virtues which are described in figurative Hadiths, I told him that I had read the footnote only three or four times although I had recited the Jaushan every day for the last thirty-five years. To add it verbatim would be inappropriate, for opponents and atheists might make it a pretext to criticize it, God willing, in the near future, the blessed Jaushan al-Kabir will illuminate the Nurjus and fire them with enthusiasm.

Thirdly: The Nurju university students in Ankara and Istanbul are printing two thousand copies of A Guide for Youth. I assume it is the large Guide. That would be better. God willing, it will be a substantial guide for the young people. Write to Kılınç Haji Ali so that he is in touch with the Medresetü'z-Zehrâ, and say that literary scholars should translate The Staff of Moses. Then, by means of the translation, those masters of the Islamic world will be concerned with the Risale-i Nur.

Fourthly: I am curious to learn whether or not our brother Marangoz Ahmed has returned safely from the Hajj. Also, write to Husrev and his assistants that Mustafa Gül and his companions should add the prayer which is at the end of Zülfikar and The Staff of Moses to the end of The Words Collection.

Unending greetings to all of you.

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

Your brother,
