In His Name, be He glorified!

The Twenty-Eighth Flash and Eighth Ray prove with the same number that in his Jaljalutiyya Imam 'Ali (May God be pleased with him) gave news of the Risale-i Nur and its important treatises almost explicitly. He also foretold its final treatise with the lines: "And by the name of the Staff of Moses the darkness will be scattered." A couple of years ago I supposed The Supreme Sign to be the final part of the Risale-i Nur, but now, since in '64 (1944) it was completed; and since the above lines predict a treatise that would disperse the darkness and give light and negate the sorcery; and since the first section of this collection, The Fruits of Belief, acted as our court defence and scattered the awesome darkness that had descended upon us; and the second section dispelled the darkness of philosophy, which had formed a front against the Risale-i Nur, and compelled the Ankara committee of experts to submit and appreciate it; and since there are numerous signs that it will disperse the darknesses of the future; and since just as the staff of Moses (PUB) caused twelve springs to gush forth and was the means of eleven miracles occurring, so the present collection consists of the eleven light scattering Topics of The Fruits of Belief and the eleven certain proofs of The Conclusive Proof, — these have all given me the conviction that with the above lines Imam 'Ali (May God be pleased with him) was looking directly at this collection called The Staff of Moses, and that he was predicting it and applauding it.
