The Church must correct the evil work of Christ by offering the miserable mass of humanity the gift they most desire and need: absolute submission. It must __anquish freedom_ so as __o make men happy_ and provide the total __ommunity of worship_ that they avidly seek.

The people must be kept in ignorance, reduced to jingoist incantations, for their own good. And like the Grand Inquisitor, who employs the forces of miracle, mystery, and authority __o conquer and hold captive for ever the conscience of these impotent rebels for their happiness_ and to deny them the freedom of choice they so fear and despise, so the __ool observers_ must create the __ecessary illusions_ and __motionally potent oversimplifications_ that keep the ignorant and stupid masses disciplined and content.

We sometimes fail to realise that when we pray to Allah we are in fact performing a great act of ibadah (worship). On the surface it might seem as if we are asking out of self-interest, but we are really proving the sincerity of our belief in the tauhid (Oneness) of Allah and our submission to the True God. Thus the Prophet pbuh said: "Supplication is itself the worship." (Reported by Abu Daud and al-Tirmizi, sahih.) If a servant prays the whole night to Allah, he therefore performs a great ibadah all night long.
