for their return. Despite this, and despite his saying that he would verify this by telephone, Afyon Court is meaninglessly collecting all the files of both Eskişehir and Denizli Courts, and with the announcement of the amnesty and the courts' acquittals, it is mixing up those blessed works with those files and sixteen years of slanders and denunciations in order to refute them and throw them into their depository, The affairs of the Risale-i Nur should not be left to those persons who have deceived us for the past three years. We wish to draw this most important matter to the attention of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice.

[^7]:An extraordinary incident which is one of many examples opposed to justice and religion: We many times requested the return of our Qur'an, which they had confiscated three years ago and which shows the visible miracle of the 2,800 instances of the name of Allah written in gold, but they failed to do so and they did not give it to us. Now the lawyer says that we should send a petition to the Head of the Directorate of Religious Affairs requesting its return. There are hundreds of such examples showing that plots are hatched against us due solely to malice and foreign intrigue. The Democrats, who so please us and the Islamic world, should be prudent, and they should save the Risale-i Nur and us from these torments. In the name of the Nur students,S a i d   N u r s i

In His Name, be He glorified!

And there is nothing but it glorifies with praise. (Q 17:44)

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !

Ceylân, my Abdurrahman and young Husrev, has performed his duties in two or three places perfectly, and has returned. Now I am sending him to Ankara as my deputy like Sungur, to carry out a more important task.

Secondly: I have sent you the letters from certain persons, for your information.

Thirdly: Let me know how much I owe you for the copies of The Words Collection, and of the biography in the new letters and Jaushan in the old letters, which are from İnebolu and are going to be sent to me.

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

Your brother,
