"You are intelligent and discerning people, so do not be deceived by what God has said: 'Know that the life of this world is but a game and a diversion, and the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Do you not understand?' When you are tested with hardship, you are patient and hopeful, and you show kindness to your families out of good faith. But all of this will not save you; only sincerity and true belief will save you with God, who knows what is within you. Those who were steadfast in their ways and traditions were hidden from the followers of the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, even though they used to seek him and await his coming. When he came to them with what they knew, they disbelieved out of fear of losing wealth and status, fear of people, and greed for wealth. So, be sincere in following what is written, for only the sincere follower is saved with God, who is free from hypocrisy, which is the desire for the Hereafter over this world. When you desire the Hereafter and know that God is your Lord, and that there is no god but Him, and that what He has told us about the fleeting nature of this world and the permanence of the Hereafter is true, and that the Messenger of God is truthful and trustworthy, then leave the dominion of the Turks and implement God's law, even if it brings you hardship. For the abode of the Hereafter is life, and life is eternal. Nothing is free from regret except the Hereafter, and no one is a friend in both worlds or a beloved one who does not part, except God. Turn to the Hereafter, trust in God, and be patient with God's trials, which purify you and increase your eternal ranks. Do not cling to fleeting things, lest you lose the good of permanence. With this, strive to revive God's law within yourselves and among those with you, and follow only the path of the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, until someone from the East or West comes to you, and we join him in the White Sea. Rely on God and turn to Him, and do not look to anyone other than God after this. God Almighty says: 'And turn to your Lord in repentance and submit to Him before the punishment comes to you, then you will not be helped.' And believe in what has been revealed to you from your Lord before the punishment comes to you suddenly, while you are unaware."
