Nights of Regâib and the Ascension and the first of the month of Sha'ban, coinciding with the three stages of the Risale-i Nur's release and freedom were congratulations and announcements of good news by the atmosphere, and was a powerful sign that the Risale-i Nur bears the meaning of mercy and spiritual rain.

A truly subtle sign was seen yesterday when suddenly a sparrow appeared at the window and tapped at it, We made a move to make it fly away, but it remained. I felt obliged to tell Ceylan to open the window to see what it had to say. It entered the room and remained there till this morning. We left the room to it and I went to my bedroom. I went out this morning and opened the door. Not a minute later I returned and saw that another bird was chirruping and singing in my room. I smiled and asked myself why such a guest had come. It looked at me for a full hour without flying away or being startled, I was reading. I put some breadcrumbs for it, but it did not eat theme I again opened the door and went out. When I returned thirty seconds later, it had gone.

Later the child who assists me arrived and said: "I had a dream last night. Hâfız Ali's brother visited us." I told him that one of our brothers who resembles Hâfız Ali and Husrev is going to come here. Two hours later that same day the boy came and said that Hâfız Mustafa had arrived: he had brought both the good news of the Risale-i Nur's release, and some of my books that had been held by the court; and he solved the question of both the sparrow, and the singing bird, and his own dream, all of which proved that nothing is chance or coicidence.

Could it be just chance that both the extraordinary appearance of the sparrow, and the strange songbird flying in and just looking at me and then disappearing, and the boy's dream turning out to be completely true all coincided with the Risale-i Nur's arrival here brought by such a person as Hâfız Mustafa? Is it at all possible that all these could be a mere chance and not be auspicious good news from the Unseen?

This is certainly not some unimportant matter; it is connected with the universe and with animals, As a Risale-i Nur student, I myself am content with the profits that fall to me as though they were worth thousands of gold sovereigns. An analogy may be made between this and the other hundreds of thousands of students and the benefits gained by believers in need of having their faith strengthened,

Yes, since the Risale-i Nur has solved more than a hundred of the mysteries of religion, the Shari'a, and the Qur'an; and it silences even the most obdurate atheists; and proves as clearly as the sun in the face of obstinate irreligious men of learning such Qur'anic truths as the Prophet's (UWBP)
