“As in the wide expanse of the divine compassion there is room
for all classes and the followers of all creeds, so … in his
Imperial dominions, which on all sides were limited only the
sea, there was room for the professors of opposite religions,
and for beliefs, good and bad, and the road to intolerance was
closed. Sunnis and Shias met in one mosque and Christians
and Jews in one church to pray. He consistently followed the
principle of ‘universal peace’ (sulh-i kul).”
