I saw lands and met people and accompanied saints and lived under the rule of the Muwahhidun, Ayyubids, Abbasids, and Seljuks in a path that God decreed for me before my creation. Whoever is born in a besieged city is born with a fierce desire to go beyond the walls. The believer is in constant travel. The entire existence is travel within travel. Whoever abandons travel is settled, and whoever is settled returns to nothingness." "A beautiful novel, worth reading"
