23-24

The following paragraph, written by our Ustadh, should be included in The Youth Guide.

It is more appropriate to remove pages "Twenty-three and Twenty-four" entitled "An important matter" at the beginning of The Youth Guide sent from Mersin. Because women, more so than men, exhibit genuine, sincere and firm interest in the Risale-i Nur, as compassion is the important principle of Nur. May our blessed sisters, the heroes of compassion, not be occupied and become distressed with the harsh content of these two pages. This matter was written as a warning to a group of Muslim girls who were trying to look like the immodestly dressed, half-naked Greek and Armenian girls in places such as Istanbul.

However, the munafiqs and Freemasons opposing The Youth Guide in Istanbul, along with some antagonistic newspapers, have currently misinterpreted this point, which has become the basis for their slander aimed at diminishing the interest of some women in the Risale-i Nur.

For now, those two pages should be removed. Instead, the guide for women entitled "Conversation with Women" should be placed there.

Said Nursî

Note: Just as undercover committees antagonistic to Islamic tarbiyyah work to corrupt the youth, so do certain irreligious and undercover committees work to lead the unfortunate women astray.

A copy of the above paragraph should be handed out to everyone who has a copy of The Youth Guide, to prevent being slandered by these committees of corruption.

Instead of the two removed pages, women should also read the guide for elderly and young women titled "Conversation with Women". The paragraph by our ustadh that was mentioned above should be included instead of the two removed pages.
