The Staff of Moses is a translation of the "Asayi Musa Mecmuasi" originally penned in Ottoman Turkish. The author compiled this book from amongst his various epistles of his corpus.

The Staff of Moses is comprised of three major parts:

The First part: The Fruit Epistle

The Second part: Hujjahtullah Al-Balighah (The Conclusive Proof)

The Third part: Five additional epistles: Sincerity (Ikhlas), Frugality (Iqtisad), Gratitude (Shukr), The Essence of the Essence (Khulasatul Khulasah) and The Supreme Sign (Al-Ayatul Kubra).

The reason why this book is named as "The Staff of Moses" is that just like the Prophet Musa defeated the magic of his opponents of his time, this book refutes and defeats the magic-like thoughts of misguidance (dalalah) and atheism with such strong proofs and in a powerful way that cannot be denied. It has also been succesful in dispersing the spiritual darkness and gloom stemming from faithlessness.

The Short Words consists of the first eight "words" of an important compilation of Risale-i Nur epistles, "The Words". These epistles were written in 1927 in Barla, a village in the district of Isparta.



The Short Words was one of the first parts of The Book of Light to be written, and comprises 8 enduringly popular epistles that illustrate important spiritual truths relating to true faith, worship and man's life in both this world and the hereafter, through allegories and analogies that represent deep sacred realities.

The work now in your hands was compiled by the successor of Imam Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, Sayyid Ahmad Husrev Efendi. The Five Epistles (Bes Risale) brings together some of the most foundational epistles in The Book of Light Corpus.

This book has been translated to assist those who are looking for an introductory compilation to serve as a window looking into The Risale-i Nur, serving as a prelude to a future, more in-depth exploration of the great work.

The Resurrection Epistle constitutes the 10th word in The Words. It was written in 1928 in Barla, a village in the district of Isparta. The Resurrection Epistle was the very first epistle written by Imam Nursi in Barla.

The Resurrection Epistle treats the following 3 main subjects:

- Proving the existence of the Necessary Being.

- Proving His Names & Attributes.

- Proving the Resurrection via adducing proofs on the basis of the former 2 realities.
