The holy reading of the Koran, the due observance of the Prophet’s laws, confidence in the known mercies of Allah, these are as milk to cool the fever heat of human passion. You know not the soft delight of lifting up your soul to Heaven, and submitting without a murmur to its decrees.
Does this passage thus signify (or confirm) that the Koran (and, perchance, the Bible) are but political tools to keep subjects in check, deigning that to live as the human heart ♥ would have it would make subjects impossible to control?
