Our Master's Will

The capital of both myself and of the Risale-i Nur's collective personality should be given as subsistence to those who dedicate themselves to the Risale-i Nur's service, and especially those who have no means of subsistence themselves.

For several years now, the Nur students who have been given subsistence have been the select (has) students. I am now making my brothers who are with me my heirs; they should strive to perform my duties. And they should preserve their solidarity.

Yes, I endorse this will.

An Addendum to the Will

Our Master understood from his being prevented from conversing with people at this time during his last years that some situations are harmful for people in respect of the personality. The illness was given him owing to the maximum sincerity of the Risale-i Nur's way. For since hypocrisy lies beneath the veil of fame and renown at this time, egotism has to be entirely renounced by attaining maximum sincerity, [He said:] Let my friends recite a Fatiha for my spirit from afar, and pray for me and visit me in the spirit. They should not visit my grave. The Fatiha will reach my spirit, no matter how far off it is recited. I feel that this is a way of renouncing egotism completely in line with the maximum sincerity of the Risale-i Nur. Some of the students who have remained with me and have dedicated themselves to the Risale-i Nur should take turns to remain singly near my grave and tell anyone who comes to visit it unnecessarily what I have said here.
