The request was that, just as by the light of the master’s guidance he had attained some degree of success in the greater jihad, [he hoped] likewise to achieve his heart’s desire regarding the lesser jihad with the help of [the master’s] wish-granting power. Everywhere there might be an Abode of War, by striving to [bring it into the Abode of Islam], he hoped to attain the rank of ghazi and martyr. The shaykh consented and bade seven hundred of his own elite companions accompany [Shah Jalal].41"
