Bediuzzaman Said Nursi corresponded continually with his students in Isparta, who persisted despite the difficult conditions in writing out copies of both these letters and the treatises of the Risale-i Nur, and distributing them. The letters explain to the students both the nature of the Risale-i Nur and its function of saving and strengthening belief, and the method of service its students should follow, and many other pertinent questions.

The EMIRDAG LETTERS thus hold great value in that they consider from the point of view of belief in the light of those times, many social questions, which affords them universal relevance.
