I also perceive a sign in this that in the future, the religious scholars will suffer defeat due to need and the struggle for livelihood.

Fourth Example: In the face of the worldly's oppressing the New Said in his old age for twenty-eight years with extreme severity, in a way completely opposed to the law, fairness, conscience, and even humanity, although he has tried to withdraw totally from politics and the world; and their raining down blows on his head and insulting him vilely, although he could not endure even the bite of a fly; he has been given an unprecedented patience and forbearance. I feel quite certain that one instance of wisdom in this, and also, with the courage proceeding from belief in the truth "the appointed hour is fixed and does not change," in his remaining patiently silent in cowardly and abject fashion although he is extremely nervous and highly strung and not cowardly by nature, and also in fact, somewhat later, after the torments, relief being imparted to his spirit, was the politicians being given the groundless suspicion about Said that he was exploiting religion for political ends, so that he should not exploit the Risale-i Nur, which expounds the All-Wise Qur'an's truths of belief, for personal benefits or spiritual ranks or for anything. I have the firm conviction that, to prevent Said with torments and imprisonment from making religion the tool of politics, the cruel rulings of the politicians were the compassionate slaps of divine determining, saying: "Beware! Don't exploit the Risale-i Nur, a commentary expounding the truths of belief, for your personal benefits or even for your spiritual attainments, or to be saved from calamities and harmful things, lest true sincerity, the Risale-i Nur true strength, be spoiled." In fact, whenever I have neglected the Risale-i Nur's service and become excessively preoccupied with my life in the hereafter and worship, the worldly have pertinaciously fallen upon me, inflicting torments on me. We refer further explanation of this fourth example to one of the letters written recently, which concerns understanding the wisdom in the politicians imprisoning Said with accusations of his exploiting religion for political ends, and on his perceiving that these rulings were the compassionate slaps of divine determining, his forgiving the politicians and his enduring it.

Fifth Example: Everyone used to be astonished that this wretched Said's handwriting was so poor that he could not write as much as a clever child could write in ten days, although his need to do was so great and he had been busy with that occupation for seventy years, and on some days was compelled to correct as many as two hundred pages. And Said was not altogether lacking in ability, I am now quite certain that the reason for his being semi-literate despite his blood brothers all having fine handwriting
