"As for if they [the Muslims] want to be strong in religion (Dīn) and the world (Dunyā) together, and be revived to life again before the Hereafter, the way to achieve this goal, in our current situation, where we have no hope and no ability to compete with the dominant nations in the two mentioned wars by means of weapons, is to hold fast to our religion and take power from its strength, until we attain worldly power that surpasses the powerful; because Islam is the strongest of religions and the most in harmony with reason (ʿaql), which, by its virtue, overcomes the dominion of the world (dunyā)."
