Since we Nur students are in the service of our Master and we follow his way, we are in no way involved in politics. But because the Democrats permitted the Risale-i Nur's publication and they have not suppressed or obstructed it as formerly, we have taken an interest in the elections for their sake. As previously, in these elections the Nurjus' support was a considerable advantage for the Democrats. But when the former Minister of Justice,
Hüseyin Avni, and the former Senirkent deputy, Tahsin Tola, both of whom had assisted our Master and the Risale-i Nur more than anyone, did not win although they should have done, we were very sorry and we told our Master. He replied to us as follows:
"Don't be sorry! We should all congratulate them, for certain proof that in the space of two years they performed the services of fifty years for the government, the country, the nation, religion, and public order, was their wondrously wanting to save A Guide for Youth without our Master requesting this from them and at that very time, their giving orders that the two hundred copies of it that had been seized be returned to us, due to which they received the prayers of the two hundred thousand people who had benefited from it. Proof, too, were Tahsin Tola's notable efforts to have The Words Collection (Sözler Mecmuası) printed officially in Ankara, and his thus securing benefits for both public order, and the Democrats, and this country and nation greater than those that could be secured by a deputy in a hundred years. For now, these great moral, true profits are sufficient for them together with the enduring profits of the hereafter. They should not exploit their services which resemble everlasting diamonds, by working for a year or two as deputies and officials, which resembles ephemeral, frangible glass. I therefore congratulate them, You do the same, and pray for them. In fact, I wanted Tahsin Tola to be re-elected so that he could serve the Risale-i Nur, but the services he performed before are sufficient. He opened the door. Now no need remains."
In His Name, be He glorified!
