Addendum to the Sixth Section,

          which is the Sixth Treatise

          Six Questions

[This addendum was written in order to avoid the disgust and insults that will levelled at us in the future. That is to say, it was written so that when it is said: “Look at the spineless people of that age!”, their spit should not hit us in the face, or else to wipe it off. Let the ears ring of the leaders of Europe, savage beneath their humanitarian  masks! And let this be thrust in the unseeing  eyes of those unjust oppressors  who inflicted these unscrupulous tyrants on us! It is a petition with which to hit over the head the followers of modern low civilization, who this century have a hundred thousand times over necessitated the existence of Hell.]

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

No reason have we why we should not put our trust on God. Indeed He has guided us to the way we [follow]. We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. For those who put their trust should put their trust on God.(14:12)

Recently the concealed  aggression of the irreligious  has taken on a most ugly form;  tyrannical  aggression  against  the  unfortunate  people  of  belief  and  against religion. Our private and unofficial call to prayer and iqama[1] was interrupted during the  private  worship  of  myself  and  one  or  two  brothers  in  the  mosque  I  myself repaired. “Why are you reciting the iqama in Arabic and making the call to prayer secretly?” they asked. My patience is exhausted by keeping silent, so I say, not to those unscrupulous vile men who are not worth addressing, but to the heads of the Pharaoh-like society who with arbitrary despotism play with the fate of this nation: O you peo ple of innovation who have deviated from the straight path of religion, I want the answer to six questions.
