Our Kind, Blessed, and Beloved Master!

Through your prayers and blessings, the more we read the Risale-i Nur with care and thought, the more we understand that it is a sublime work which solves and discloses the riddle of the universe, and the supreme guide of the present and future. Yes, anyone of intelligence who reads it, realizes that it will illuminate humanity both in this century and the next, and save it from the darkness of misguided thought.

The Risale-i Nur was written to meet the needs of the world of Islam and all mankind, not only of this country and nation. Today, mankind is floundering in an unprecedented calamity, and there is nothing that will save it except embracing the Risale-i Nur and studying its various parts attentively and reflectively, whatever the price of obtaining it. Everyone who reads it accepts this fact. If we had the power, we would ascend to a spot overlooking the universe and would proclaim this to all the world. But since we cannot do this, and since to an extent, through our Master's blessings we have understood the Risale-i Nur's universal value; we shall continuously read that effulgent source of knowledge and perfection, day and night at every opportunity and not waste one moment of our time; we shall constantly work at it. But this again will be thanks to our Master's prayers and blessings.

Moreover, it is clear that everyone, even the most eminent scholar, may be the student of the Risale-i Nur and its author; all are in need of reading it. If overcome by one's egotism, one fails to do this, the loss is his entirely. As for us, in the face of this sublime truth which we perceive, we are incapable of expressing our gratitude to mankind's saviour and the dominical official overspreading millions of human beings. But still, through your prayers and blessings, we have understood that we are unable to repay even the amount we benefit from a single line of this wondrous work, which is a miracle of the Noble Qur'an. We therefore only beseech Almighty God as follows:

"O Lord! Preserve our beloved, kindly Master from the machinations of his tryannical enemies, for through his incomparable work, the Risale-i Nur, he has delivered us from everlasting imprisonment and offered us the key to a treasury of truths that may gain for us happiness in an eternal realm. Always grant him success in his service of the Qur'an and belief, and bestow good health on him, and well-being, and long life!"

Dear Master! We, a number of young people at university who have received the supreme bounty of studying the Risale-i Nur attentively and reflectively, believe, not just conjecturally or through having a good intention but as a result of close study and investigation, and with unshakeable certainty based on knowledge, that Bediuzzaman will succeed in freeing the face of the earth from irreligion and atheism, which this age has given rise to appalling savagery never ever witnessed before.

This conviction of ours is not merely simplemindedness or a surmise, but based on reasoned evidence and investigation. Even those opposed to it will assent to this fact with all their hearts. Kindly continue to pray for us so that we may devote ourselves to the service of the Qur'an and belief, and study the Risale-i Nur never wasting a moment of our time, and write it out, and acquire complete sincerity.

In the name of the Nur Students in Istanbul University,

Muhsin
