| Book Description | How did virtue overcome vice? Where is virtue? Where is vice? Didn't any of those who go to the mosque notice that there is a den a few meters away that deals with humanitarian or social cases and circumvents the law to hide from reality in the name of hypocrisy? Are these people satisfied with rituals and return home, reassured? Didn't the call to prayer that is heard five times a day move the doctor who feeds off the tragedy of others, and the nurse who earns a living from the doctor's scraps? How come all these questions didn't move anyone but me? It cannot be claimed that they didn't move anyone before me. They moved them, and they live with them.
