    “Your basic duty is training and fighting, brother. You were brought here for that. Trust in the  king; he will not let you go hungry. That is his duty. Anyway, you are powerless and wanting; you cannot feed yourself everywhere. And this is a time of mobilization and war; he will tell you that you are mutinous and will punish you. Yes, there are two duties which concern us. One is the king’s duty: sometimes we do his fatigue duties and he feeds us for it. The other is our duty: that is training and fighting, and sometimes the king helps us with it.”
    “Birader, asıl vazifen, talim ve muharebedir. Sen, onun için buraya getirilmişsin. Padişaha itimat et. O, seni aç bırakmaz. O, onun vazifesidir. Hem sen, âciz ve fakirsin; her yerde kendini beslettiremezsin. Hem mücahede ve seferberlik zamanıdır. Hem sana âsidir der, ceza verirler. Evet, iki vazife peşimizde görünüyor. Biri, padişahın vazifesidir. Bazen biz onun angaryasını çekeriz ki bizi beslemektir. Diğeri, bizim vazifemizdir. Padişah bize teshilat ile yardım eder ki talim ve harptir.”

    O my lazy soul! That turbulent place of war is this stormy worldly life, and the army divided into regiments, human society. The regiment in the comparison is the community of Islam in this century. One of the two soldiers is a devout Muslim who knows the obligations of his religion and performs them, and struggles with Satan and his own soul in order to give up serious misdoings and not to commit sins. While the other is a degenerate  wrongdoer who is so immersed in the struggle for livelihood that he casts aspersions on the True Provider, abandons his religious obligations, and commits any sins that come his  way as he makes his living.

    İşte ey tembel nefsim! O dalgalı meydan-ı harp, bu dağdağalı dünya hayatıdır. O taburlara taksim edilen ordu ise cemiyet-i beşeriyedir. Ve o tabur ise şu asrın cemaat-i İslâmiyesidir. O iki nefer ise biri feraiz-i diniyesini bilen ve işleyen ve kebairi terk ve günahları işlememek için nefis ve şeytanla mücahede eden müttaki Müslüman’dır. Diğeri, Rezzak-ı Hakiki’yi ittiham etmek derecesinde derd-i maişete dalıp, feraizi terk ve maişet yolunda rastgele günahları işleyen fâsık-ı hâsirdir. Ve o talim ve talimat ise –başta namaz– ibadettir. Ve o harp ise nefis ve heva, cin ve ins şeytanlarına karşı mücahede edip günahlardan ve ahlâk-ı rezileden kalp ve ruhunu helâket-i ebediyeden kurtarmaktır. Ve o iki vazife ise birisi, hayatı verip beslemektir. Diğeri, hayatı verene ve besleyene perestiş edip yalvarmaktır, ona tevekkül edip emniyet etmektir.
    foremost the prescribed prayers and worship. And the war is the struggle against the soul and its desires, and against the satans among jinn and men, to deliver them from sin and bad morals, and save the heart and spirit from eternal perdition. And the first of the two duties is to give life and sustain it, while the other is to worship and beseech the Giver and Sustainer of life. It is to trust in Him and rely on Him.

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

    Indeed, God is with those who fear Him and those who do good.(*[1])

    If you want to see what a truly human duty and what a natural, appropriate result of man’s creation it is to perform the prescribed prayers and not to commit serious sins, listen to and take heed of the following comparison:

    Once, at a time of general mobilization, two soldiers found themselves together in a regiment. One was well-trained and conscientious, the other, a raw recruit and self- centred. The conscientious soldier concentrated on training and the war, and did not give a thought to rations and provisions, for he knew that it was the state’s duty to feed and equip him, treat him if he was ill, and even to put the food in his mouth if the need arose. He knew that his essential duty was to train and fight. But he would also attend to some of the rations and equipment as part of his work. He would boil up the saucepans, wash up the mess-tins, and bring them.

    If it was then asked him: “What are you doing?”,

    he would reply: “I am doing fatigue duty for the state.” He would not say: “I am working for my living.”

    The raw recruit, however, was fond of his stomach and paid no attention to training and the war. “That is the state’s business. What is it to me?”, he would say. He thought constantly of his livelihood, and pursuing it would leave the regiment and go to the market to do shopping.

    One day his well-trained friend said to him:

    “Your basic duty is training and fighting, brother. You were brought here for that. Trust in the king; he will not let you go hungry. That is his duty. Anyway, you are powerless and wanting; you cannot feed yourself everywhere. And this is a time of mobilization and war; he will tell you that you are mutinous and will punish you. Yes, there are two duties which concern us. One is the king’s duty: sometimes we do his fatigue duties and he feeds us for it. The other is our duty: that is training and fighting, and sometimes the king helps us with it.”

    Of course you will understand in what danger the layabout soldier would be if he did not pay attention to the striving, well-trained one.

    Those are the two ways open to you! You can choose whichever you wish... So ask for guidance and success from the Most Compassionate of the Compassionate.
