Our Ustadh says: there is khayr in postponing our court trials. The hardships that have been inflicted so far on the Risale-i Nur and the Nurjus, which turn into rahmah, show that there is much khayr in this postponement, and one of them is likely to be this:

At a time when the influence of the Risale-i Nur was beginning to be widely felt in the Islamic world abroad and when its dissemination and spread were happening and when the politicians here showed a tendency to become somewhat Europeanised as a bribe to Europe, a decision by the courts for the complete freedom of the Risale-i Nur would have raised the following doubts in the Islamic world abroad about the true ikhlas of the Risale-i Nur: Either the Nurjus are compelled to display riyâ, or they refrain from interfering with those who aspire to become civilised in this manner, and they display weakness, and this could seriously undermine the value of the Nur. This postponement removes such suspicions and proves that for thirty years, they have not bowed before anything opposed to the Shaâ’er of Islam.
