In His Name, be He glorified!
Our Esteemed Brother, Tahsin Bey!
We congratulate you on the Night of Power and wish you success. Our Master sends you his particular greetings. He said:
"The biography that Tahsin published has been as useful as twenty large collections, and has made that many conquests. He should in no way worry about their now bothering him a little. Their doing this has attracted attention to the biography and been effective advertising. Just as the twenty large collections have made great conquests these last twenty years by spreading underground; so, God willing, the biography will produce similar results by spreading unobtrusively.
Secondly: Almighty God graciously placed you in Ankara to be the commander-in-chief of the Risale-i Nur there; and now you have been granted the publication of the Qur'anic commentary Ishārāt al-I'jāz (Signs of Miraculousness) from the Risale-i Nur, which elucidates one of the forty aspects of the Qur'an's miraculous inimitability, its composition and ordering (nazm). There are seven sorts of this latter aspect, one of which is the coincidences (T, tevâfukât; Ar. tawāfuqāt). [^78] And one sort of these are the clear coincidences in the name Allah.
[^78]:Coincidences (T. tevâfukât; Ar. tawāfuqāt) refers to the unintentional correspondence of letters or words in lines or patterns on one or several pages. [Tr.]
Our miraculous Qur'an shows these latter coincidences. God willing, it will fall to you also to print and publish it. Previously our Master sent you ten thousand liras; now he is sending six thousand, six hundred, and sixty- six liras, which is exactly the equivalent of the Qur'an's verses, and is the amount remaining from two years of the students' subsistence. There is a great mystery in this, which is blessed like money of gold. It should not be spent on anything else. We are sending this together with a number of sections (cüz') of the Qur'an, and our greetings.
The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!
