wishes! Subjugate the hearts of people to the Risale-i Nur, so they may serve the Qur’an and belief! And grant me and my brothers perfect belief and a happy death! As You subjugated the sea to Moses (Peace be upon him), fire to Abraham (Peace be upon him), the mountains and iron to David (Peace be upon him), jinn and men to Solomon (Peace be upon him), and the sun and moon to Muhammad (Upon whom be blessings and peace), subjugate hearts and minds to the Risale-i Nur! Preserve me and all the students of the Risale-i Nur from the evil of the soul and Satan, and the torment of the grave and Hellfire, and grant us happiness in Paradise! Amen. Amen. Amen.

Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are All-Knowing, All-Wise. [^7]

If I have been at fault in offering to the Court of my Compassionate Sustainer this instructive piece which I have taken from the Qur’an and the Jaushan al-Kabir, a supplication of the Prophet (UWBP), as worship in the form of reflective thought, making the Qur’an and the Jaushan my intercessors, I beseech forgiveness for my fault.
