Since we have started ruling this world by Allah’s will, we have been spending every effort to provide an equal amount of protection for everyone and to approach everyone with mercy. This task upon us is an order from Allah. We take care of the residents of Sarahs, may Allah protect them, with due attention and mercy. Thus, the administrator who will lead these people must be experienced, persevering, persistent and to the fore in the virtues. He should know about the pleasures and sorrows of life. Nejmeddin fiark bears all these qualities.

He spent the most beautiful times of his life at the disposal of his nation. He engaged in significant affairs, he assumed high posts and he proved to be successful.
