Statement on Behalf of Hüsnü Bayramoğlu Ağabey Umum Nur Community
Our Venerable Brothers
We advise our community to take a break from our public meetings and classes, which we normally continue in accordance with the precautionary decisions taken by our State, in accordance with the precautionary decisions taken by our State against the disease, the symptoms of which have been observed all over the world and now in our country and which shows a tendency to spread rapidly and is accepted as an "epidemic" by the health organizations, by complying with the precautions and not to gather in crowds.
“Each man, if he has four or five children in his household, should turn his own house into a small Madrasa-i Nuri. If not, and if he is alone, three or four people from his very interested neighbors should gather together and this delegation should turn the house they are in into a small Madrasa-i Nuri. At least when they are not busy with their work or duties, they should read or listen to the Risale-i Nur, even for five or ten minutes.” I have also been warned to my brothers that if they were to engage in writing or writing, they would be granted the rewards and honors of true scholars, as well as the five types of worship written in the Treatise of Ikhlas. Like true students of knowledge, their ordinary acts of providing for their livelihood could be considered a form of worship.
آسْمَانْ رَشْكْ بَرَدْ بَهْرِ زَم۪ينْ كِه دَارَدْ يَكْ دُو كَسْ يَك دُو نَفَسْ بَهْرِ خُدَا بَرْ نِش۪ينَنْدْ That is: The heavens envy the earth; One or two men sit together on the ground for one or two breaths, that is, for a minute or two, to chat, dhikr and meditate on the ground; By showing each other the beautiful works of mercy and the very wise and ornamented works of their own Maker, they make each other love their Maker and make them think and think.
On Behalf of the General Nur Students
Hz. It is essential to remember the following letters of our Master:
ﺍَﻟْﺒَﺎﻗِﻰ ﻫُﻮَ ﺍﻟْﺒَﺎﻗِﻰ
Your Sick Brother Said Nursi
Both Hz. In a letter they wrote to our master Hulusi Bey, Nur describes his lessons as follows; Especially, you will always find one or two true brothers. And people are not the only ones listening to that lecture. There are many conscious creatures of God Almighty who take great pleasure in using the truths of belief. You have many friends and followers in that group. Moreover, contemplatively speaking, someone said that this kind of conversation about faith is a spiritual adornment and a source of honor on the face of the earth:
May Almighty God grant us all to use these three months, which are the time of prayer and refuge, and the time of calamity, for the afterlife and reward, by being busy with the Lights of the Qur'an together with our households, by reading and listening, by making more efforts in reading and publishing the Risale-i Nur, which is the adornment of the face of the earth and which is like charity against troubles and calamities. May this calamity be resolved for the benefit of the Islamic world. And may He protect our country and the Islamic world from all kinds of troubles, calamities and epidemics.
Hz. We also present to your consideration the following lessons of our Master, which are an ever-renewing truth; In particular, since the people of misguidance and heedlessness are unaware of the general mercy of God and the Divine Wisdom, due to their sexual interest in human beings, they are grieved and tormented by the present painful and terrible sufferings of human beings other than their own. is pulling. Because, by leaving aside their real duties and essential works in an unnecessary and trivial way, by listening with curiosity to the current and political struggles and the events of the universe, they have confused their souls and chattered their minds, and knowingly showed de facto consent to their own detriment. It means that there is no compassion for those who are satisfied with it. As a rule, they have given themselves the right to compassion and the merit of mercy. They shall not be pitied or pitied. And they cause unnecessary trouble. Among these, those who save themselves the most are those who faithfully enter the circle of Risale-i Nur.
Because, with the light and eyes of the lessons of investigative faith they received from Risale-i Nur,
they see the trace, essence and face of Divine mercy in everything and see its perfect wisdom in everything; Since they observed the justice of Cemal-i
; With complete submission and consent, they face the calamities resulting from the execution of the divine authority, with submission, laughter, and consent. And they do not extend their compassion further than Divine mercy, so that they may suffer pain and torment.
Based on this, those who want happiness and pleasure not only in the hereafter, but perhaps even in the life on earth, can find it – with infinite experiences – in Risale-i Nur's lessons on faith and the Qur'an. and they find it.
Against the current material and spiritual troubles and calamities, Hz. We remember and remind our Master's following advice; We feel it, we see it. Of course, we have to respond to these terrible new troubles and calamities with the service of Risale-i Nur. p.235)
In short; We recommend it. We are postponing the brotherhood lesson that we organize every month;
Hz. Bediüzzaman's servant and student
