and Christians. On condition it is not contrary to obedience to God and His Prophet (UWBP), a person may act on the understanding that he is complying with that obedience. Whereas in this case, although the laws of Islamic tradition command compassion to the sick, and to strangers, and not to cause trouble or distress to those who serve the Qur'an and the sciences of belief for Allah's sake, they propose that a hermit who has renounced the world wear a hat like a foreign priest, which is contrary to the law not ten but a hundred times over, and is opposed too to the traditional laws of Islam and tramples those sacred laws on account of some arbitrary orders. Treatment of this kind of someone like me who is extremely ill, extremely old and at the door of the grave, is alone, a stranger, impecunious, and who for thirty-five years has abandoned the world so as not to act contrarily to the Prophet's (UWBP) Sunna, is without any doubt one foot of a ghastly conspiracy on account of anarchy and under the veil of communism, to harm this country, nation, Islam, and religion. It is also a conspiracy against the religious deputies and Democrats who intend to serve Islam and this country and have formed a front against the awesome destruction coming from outside. The religious deputies should be beware. They should not leave it to me to defend against this serious conspiracy on my own.

Postscript: For no advantage and illegally, to order a devotee of Islam and self-sacrificing servant of the Qur'an who did not condescend to rise to his feet before the commander-in-chief of the Russians although the commander deliberately passed in front of him three times, and in order to preserve the dignity of Islam, did not bow before him despite the threat of execution; and in order to defend Islam's honour, attached not the slightest importance to the threats of execution of the commander-in-chief of the British occupying forces Istanbul and those who had issued fatwas, and opposed them in the press saying: "Spit in the shameless faces of those tyrants!"; and who, in the presence of fifty deputies, declared: "Those who do not perform the prayers are traitors!" and disregarded Mustafa Kemal's wrath; and did not toady to the military court and replied to its intimidating questions: "I am ready to sacrifice my life for a single matter of the Shari'a!"; and who has chosen solitude these last twenty-eight years in order not to resemble non-Muslims — if it is said to such a person: "You have to resemble the Jewish or Christian priests! You have to wear a hat like they do! You have to oppose the consensus of all the Islamic ulema, otherwise we are going to punish you!" certainly a person who has sacrificed all he has for the truth of the Qur'an, would sacrifice a hundred lives if he had them, as his biography testifies, even if he were to be decimated with knives and thrown into Hell, let alone worldly prisons, penalties, and torture.
