A Martyred Warrior of the Animal Kingdom
1 And none knows the hosts of your Lord except Him.
Here is a martyr-guest from those hosts,
A blessed monkey among the animals.
O you of the monkeys! You pleased the believers,
You frightened the disbelievers, and you bewildered the Greeks.
You delivered such a blow that you upset the wheel of politics.
You enraged Lloyd George and you crushed Venizelos.
You sat so heavily on the scale of politics that in one move you hurled the armies of disbelief and the hordes of tyranny into the air.
By removing their masks and making a mockery of them, you made the whole world laugh.
You went to the ranks of the blessed animals of paradise.
You are blessed in paradise, for you are a warrior and a martyr.
An important point
Islam fell into ignorance and arrogance. Christianity, having acquired science and civilization for itself, triumphed with two weapons. Now, in the East, a terrible weapon is being manufactured. One must have a share in its rightful portion. Otherwise, if we again fall into arrogance, Christianity will use it against Islam. This cannot be tolerated.
An idea that does not become sacred for the masses will perish. There are two great rival religions that can bestow sanctity upon that idea. When this sharp idea opens its eyes, it finds the Christian religion as its enemy and the weapon in the enemy's hand. Therefore, this idea is compelled to seek sanctity through Islam.

Islam fell into ignorance and arrogance. Christianity, having embraced science and civilization, won with two weapons. Now, in the East, a tremendous weapon is being manufactured. One must have a share in its rightful portion. Otherwise, if we again fall into arrogance, Christianity will use it against Islam. This cannot be allowed.
An idea that does not appeal to the masses cannot acquire sanctity and will fade away. There are two great rival religions that can bestow sanctity upon that idea. When this sharp idea opens its eyes, it finds the Christian religion as its enemy and the weapon in the enemy's hand. Therefore, this idea is compelled to seek refuge in Islam in order to acquire sanctity.

"What is Ittihad-ı İslâm?"
"Ittihad-ı İslâm is a luminous assembly stretching from east to west, from south to north, which now numbers over three hundred million, all connected through a profound and unique bond that has freed them from ignorance. We have entered this society through the eternal covenant and the oath of our faith, and we are the people of unity, committed to unity. The branches of this society are all the mosques, schools, monasteries, and lodges. And the leader of this society is the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). Its fundamental law is the Glorious Qur'an.
The time has come to bring the spiritual connection among all its members into a conscious form and to illuminate all those branches with light.
Indeed, the Black Stone of the noble Kaaba of our blessed Ittihad-ı İslâm is the noble Kaaba itself. And the White Veil of its sacred garden is the Ravza-i Mutahhar. Its sacred Mecca is the Arabian Peninsula. Its noble city of Medina of civilization is the Ottoman Empire.
Once, through the symbols of the virtues, excellences, and moral beauty of Islam, I said the following:
If you wish to see the ornament and decoration of this Kaaba, look: the noble courage born of honor and valor; the innocent smile born of respect and mercy; the spiritual nobility born of purity and grace; the heavenly joy born of youthful love and springtime enthusiasm; the angelic delight born of the sorrow of sunset and the brightness of dawn; the sacred ornamentation that emerges from the beauty of modesty and the grace of elegance, all interwoven together. From this luminous color, you will see the reflection of the blue and green hues of the engraved and carved Kaaba's arches. But unity is not achieved through ignorance. Unity is the interweaving of thoughts; the interweaving of thoughts is achieved through the light of knowledge."

A question was asked by a person: "The truth prevails and is not overthrown. But the disbeliever prevails over the Muslim."
The answer: Just as there is obedience and rebellion against the commands derived from the attribute of speech, there is also obedience and rebellion against the commands derived from the attribute of will. In the former case, the reward and punishment prevail in the hereafter; in the latter case, the reward and punishment prevail in this world.
For example, the reward of patience is victory. The punishment of sloth is poverty. The reward of effort and perseverance is wealth and victory. Therefore, the obedience of the disbeliever to the commands of creation has prevailed over the rebellion of the Muslim against the commands of creation. Just as it is not necessary for a Muslim to be a Muslim in every attribute, it is not necessary for a disbeliever to be a disbeliever in every attribute and to be freed from disbelief. Or, the victory is a deception for him and a transformation for the Muslim.
"What is the revolution of this world?"
"It is the struggle of effort against capital."
"Is there no way to reconcile the two?"
"Yes, the obligation of zakat and the respect for usury, and the characteristics of kindness are the conditions for peace. If you pull out the gold from the usury chest, the castle of the oppressive civilization will collapse."
"How do you see the two currents in the infidels?"
"For now, one is impure and the other is pure. The absolutely pure is only the signs of Islam."
"Therefore, a curse upon both currents!"
"Yes. However, to call the one who is trying to purify the impurity we have contracted as impure and thus contaminate ourselves, is not in our interest. For example, a pig is choking you. A bear is choking the pig. To strike the bear's chest and thus attack yourself is more foolish than wise. Indeed, a widespread madness has already spread in the world."
"What do you see from the division of disbelief?"
"I see the unity of Islam."

"What is Ittihad-ı İslâm?"
"Ittihad-ı İslâm is a luminous assembly stretching from east to west, from south to north, and now consists of more than three hundred million people who are connected with a solid bond, emerging from their ignorance in a unique and remarkable form. We have entered this society with the eternal covenant and the oath of our faith, we are the people of unity, and we are committed to unity. The branches of this society are all the mosques, schools, monasteries, and lodges. And the leader of this society is the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him). Its fundamental law is the Glorious Qur'an.
The time has come to bring the spiritual connection among all individuals into a conscious form and to illuminate all those branches with light.
Indeed, the Black Stone of the noble Kaaba of our blessed unity, Ittihad-ı İslâm, is the Kaaba al-Mukarramah. Its sacred garden is the Ravza-i Mutahharah. Its sacred Mecca is the Arabian Peninsula. Its noble city of civilization, Medina, is the Ottoman Empire.
Once, through the symbols of the virtues, excellences, and moral beauty of Islam, I said as follows:
If you wish to see the decoration and patterns of this Kaaba, look: The noble courage born of honor and valor; the innocent smile born of respect and mercy; the spiritual nobility resulting from nobility and grace; the heavenly joy born of youthful love and springtime enthusiasm; the angelic pleasure born from the sorrow of sunset and the brightness of dawn; the sacred decoration emanating from the beauty of modesty and the grace of elegance, all intertwine with each other, and the luminous color that emerges from them will resemble the blue and green hues of the engraved and gilded arches of the Kaaba of happiness, which spans east and west. But unity is not achieved through ignorance. Unity is the intertwining of thoughts; the intertwining of thoughts is achieved through the rays of knowledge."
