There lived a man in Turkey during the time of a ruler called Mustafa Kamal Ataturk who despised the teachings of Islam and prevented the Turkish people from following Islam .The women folk were not permitted to adorn themselves with a hejab and no religious organizations were permitted to function.

However during this suppression, a man rose, who was determined to challenge the authorities and made himself busy with the task of building mosques inspiring those around him. Soon the authorities came to know about this and he was sentenced to a ten years imprisonment. However this man never gave up and while he was serving his sentence, he influenced his friends who used to come to visit him to form a committee which would supervise the activities involved in the construction of mosques. He was so sincere that he inspired his cell mates to start building mosques once they completed their term in prison. It is recorded that he was able to build tens of thousands of mosques even in this period of constraint and oppression.

What was the secret of this man? It is said that whenever a mosque's construction would be completed, a collection box was put at the disposal of the worshippers of that mosque to start contributing towards the building of yet another mosque. IMAM ALI (A.S.) SAYS: "A MAN FLIES WITH HIS EFFORTS, THE WAY A BIRD FLIES WITH ITS WINGS".
