always submissive and grateful to Allah, and in whom other be-
lievers and inmates recognize his contentment, will have a positive
effect. Those who become angry, even at the slightest problem, will

Abeliever tries to do good for others, and tries to educate oth-

ers to respect Allah’s limits. For instance, ideological movements
that seek to create disorder, terror and anarchy, he refutes accord-
ing to the Qur’an. The Nur efforts, in this respect, under
Bediuzzaman’s leadership, are an example of this in recent history.
Bediuzzaman always stated that it is irreligious movements, like
materialistic ideologies, which cause anarchy, and initiated a
highly effective campaign to counter them. For this reason, the

Risale-i Nur students are known for their efforts in advancing the
cause of Islam and establishing public order. Their efforts contin-
ued while in prison, and, particularly during their time in the
Denizli prison, they helped all other inmates to become believers
and accept the morality of the Qur’an. Bediuzzaman stated the fol-
lowing in this regard:
Yes, through the strength of certain, verified belief, in every part

of this country the Risale-i Nur and its students halt the awesome
corruption and efforts of anarchy to destroy public order under
the veil of communism. They work to maintain public order and
security so that these twenty years three or four related courts and
the police of ten provinces have not been able to find or record
any incidents involving the infringement of public order con-
nected with the Risale-i Nur students, who are very numerous

and found in every part of the country. And the fair-minded po-
lice of three provinces stated: “The Risale-i Nur students are
moral police. They assist us in preserving public order.
