I myself have experienced on numerous occasions as certainly as seeing it with my own eyes, that a seed of Paradise is contained in belief, while a seed of Hell is found  in vice and misguidance. This truth is repeated many times in the Risale-i Nur. Although the Risale-i Nur has come into the hands of those who oppose it most obstinately and severely,  they have been unable to refute this truth; neither have the committees of experts and the  courts been able to refute it. Now, my blessed and innocent sisters and your children who  are like my spiritual children, foremost the Treatise on Islamic Dress, and A Guide For  Youth, and The Short Words should teach you in my place.

I have heard that you want me to teach you in the mosque, but my wretched state and my  illness and many other circumstances do not permit it. I have decided to include all my sisters who read and accept this instruction which I have written for you in all my prayers and  spiritual gains, like all the students of the Risale-i Nur. If you obtain and read part of  the  Risale-i Nur in my place, or listen to it, then in accordance with my rule you too will have a share in the prayers and spiritual gains of all the Risale-i Nur students, your brothers.

I was going to write more, but I am very ill and very weak and very old and have many duties like correcting copies of the Risale-i Nur, so for now I have sufficed with this much.

The Eternal One, He is the Eternal One!

Your brother who is in need of your prayers,

S a i d   N u r s i
