An answer full of haqiqah to an important question

…

Then those dhâlim wretches who hold high worldly ranks said, "You did not put our headgear on your head not even once in twenty years; you did not uncover your head in front of either the former or the current courts; you presented yourself in the former attire. Whereas seventeen million people wore this attire."

So I replied: rather than wearing — by using the rukhsah of Sharî’ah and due to being forced by the law —  the attire of not seventeen million or even seven million but seven thousand European-smitten drunkards with their consent and sincere acceptance, I prefer to wear, in conformity with taqwâ and the ‘azîmah of Sharî’ah, the dress of seven billion. It cannot be said about a man like me who has withdrawn from social life for twenty-five years, "He is being stubborn; he opposes us."

Even if it is obstinacy, since Mustafa Kemal could not break it, two courts could not break it, and the authorities of three provinces could not smash it, who do you think you are to struggle pointlessly to break that obstinacy to the detriment of both the nation and the government? Even if he is a political opponent, a man who — as you have confirmed — had severed all his connections with the world and has been dead in a ma’nawî manner for twenty years would not be raised to life again, involved meaninglessly in political life that would harm considerably himself and struggle against you; it is, therefore, lunacy to fear from his opposition. Since it is lunacy to even speak seriously with lunatics, I am giving up speaking with those like you. I said, "Whatever you do, I won't feel obliged to you!" It both angered and silenced them. My final word is: 

حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ  * حَسْبِىَ اللّٰهُ لاَ اِلهَ اِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

...

The authorities of the government, the politicians, the administration officials, the officials of public order, the judiciary and the police have absolutely no business with us. If they ever do, it is only that through the bigotry of zandaqa, arising from kufr al-mutlaq — which no government in the world can defend and no rational person would like — and arising from a terrible plague upon humanity caused by materialism, certain secret zindiqs deceive and incite certain official authorities against us by causing them to fall into groundless apprehensions through shaytanic deceit.

And we say: Let alone a few such deluded officials, even if they were to incite the entire world against us, by the power of the Qur’an and through the ‘inâyah of Allah, we will not flee. We will never lay down our arms to that apostate kufr al-mutlaq and to that zandaqa!
