I saw the splendor of Abbasid power, yet I sought to crown it with knowledge. In Baghdad’s Bayt al-Ḥikmah, scholars of every tongue translated the wisdom of the ancients into the language of Qur'ān. Astronomers measured the earth’s curve; philosophers weighed the balance between aql and naql. Yet zeal must bow before humility—my imposition during the Mihna taught me that hearts are guided not by force but by Allah’s mercy. Come, and let us seek understanding where faith and intellect kneel together before the Divine.
