Rather, it is a pause that I made in the land of revelation and its home, in which I draw inspiration from the positions of Muhammad, the servant of God, his prophet, and his messenger. There, in these situations, I stripped myself, elevated my spirit, and repeated the ages
And I folded the centuries, and I began to imitate this noble guide, and to imitate the Muslims around him, seeking in that an example and a lesson in the hope that I would honor my brothers who believe in God and in what came from God. In these situations, I did not adhere to what was stated in a book other than the Noble Book of God, and I did not subject my thinking to the rule of God. Change me."
