may be the object of the severe divine threat contained in the verse, "And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will touch you!" (Q 11:113), and receive its slap. For you will in effect be participating in the tyranny of oppressors, and so rightfully suffer punishment in this world and the next.

Nevertheless, I felt a meaningful disquiet in my heart and was then consoled. It occurred to my heart that in consequence of these widespread struggles, a danger more harmful than that resulting from the First World War would be born and an antichrist-like savagery would emerge in Europe, which is the source and prop of civilization. The consolation for this anxiety was that with the full awakening of the Islamic world, and the New World and Christianity following the authentic principles of their religion and their uniting with Islam, and with the Gospels uniting with and following the Qur'an, together and with heavenly assistance they might withstand those two awesome future currents and overcome them, God willing.

I send my greetings to each and every one of my brothers, and congratulate you on the Night of Power, which is to come or has passed. ∗∗∗

My Dear, Loyal Brothers !

I have received through you the long, detailed letter written by the Husrev of Denizli, Hasan Feyzi, and I understood that just as a seed is planted in the ground so that it may produce numerous shoots; so the late martyr Hâfız Ali entered under the ground in the field there, where he has produced and will produce the shoots of thirty or forty Hâfız Alis. I felt certain of this. Write the following to Hasan Feyzi and to those who are striving to serve the Risale-i Nur:

In the space of one or two years, the Denizli heroes have performed twenty years' service for the Risale-i Nur. We Nur students can never forget this good act of theirs, and in our view Denizli has become a second Isparta, just as its prison even is a sort of Nur School.

The people mentioned in Feyzi's letter and especially the just judge and those working with him to establish true justice like (C. H. M.) and the lawyer Ziya have made not only ourselves, but also Anatolia and the Islamic world, indebted to them. They took it on themselves to protect the Risale-i Nur, like us. If necessary, I can send to them on trust the collections that have been handed over to me so they may read them to others. If necessary, the books that remain there can be kept, on condition they are not left unused. Anyone who has the large collections may keep them on condition
