History - “YOU SHOULD EXERT YOUR UTMOST ENERGY”
Hempher says:
In the Hijrî year 1122, C. E. 1710, the Minister of the Commonwealth sent me to Egypt, Iraq, Hidjaz and Istanbul to act as a spy and to obtain information necessary and sufficient for the breaking up of the Muslims. The Ministry appointed nine more people, full of agility and courage, for the same mission and at the same time. In addition to the money, information and maps we would need, we were given a list containing names of statesmen, scholars, and chiefs of tribes. I will never forget! When I said farewell to the secretary, he said, “The future of our state is dependent on your success. Therefore you should exert your utmost energy. ”
