A message was sent by the regime to the faithful: to survive they would have to be loyal to only one interpretation of the faith, and to accept the new political role of the clergy.

The regime conveyed a clear message to its followers: to endure, they must show unwavering loyalty to a singular interpretation of their faith, thereby accepting the clergy's newfound political power. This development troubled Father deeply, as he believed it signified a dire future for Islam in their nation. He asserted that domestic forces posed a greater threat to the religion than any external influence might.

Father’s perspective suggests that the manipulation of religious beliefs by political entities undermines the essence of faith itself. His lament highlights a profound concern for the integrity of Islam, as he felt that such control would ultimately lead to its decline within their society.
