These form a circle, in the centre of which rises a pulpit covered with some yellow stuff, and around it the pashas and the whole body of Ulemas and Mollahs, wearing the ancient costume coloured kaftans, and big white or green turbans crossed with broad gold bands shortly collect. The chief dervishes and the heads of all the religious sects are there also.
There war shall be proclaimed, and the kaftans of remembrance distributed to thee and thy fellows." And with that the Ulemas and Halil's comrades were led away to the kiosk of Erivan. "And ye who are the finest fellows of us all," said Kabakulak, turning to Halil and Musli "ye, Halil and Musli, come first of all to kiss the Sultan's hand." Halil with a cold smile pressed Musli's hand.
Accordingly the Grand Vizier appointed them all Sandjak-Begs, or governors of provinces. As they knew nothing of the death of their comrades they accepted the dignities conferred upon them, renouncing at the same time as usual their office of Ulemas. The following day they were all put to death.
The chief judge of Agra sentenced men to death because they were Shiites, that is to say they belonged to the other branch of Islam, and the Ulemâs urged Akbar to proceed likewise against the heretics. That arrogance and vanity, selfishness and avarice, also belonged to the character of the Ulemâs is so plainly to be taken for granted according to all analogies that it need hardly be mentioned.
Fourier was especially held in veneration by the Cheiks and the Ulémas. A single anecdote will serve to show that this sentiment was the offspring of genuine gratitude. The Emir Hadgey, or Prince of the Caravan, who had been nominated by General Bonaparte upon his arrival in Cairo, escaped during the campaign of Syria.
On the news of the insurrection which had been painted in the most alarming colours by the fugitive Kiaja and the Janissary Aga, the Sultan had called together the generals, the Ulemas, the Grand Vizier, the Chief Mufti, the Sheiks, and the Kodzhagians in the palace by the sea-shore. An hour before in the same palace he had held a long deliberation with his aunt, the wise Sultana Khadija.
They now stepped up to her and asked if her father still lived, and if there was any hope of preserving his life. "His life is in your hands," replied Masa. "I come to conjure you to save the life of my father, and of the noble old men, the ulemas." "How can we, daughter of Sheik Alepp?" cried the men. "How can we save their lives?" "You ask me?
"Now I turn to you," said Mohammed, breathing more freely, and looking toward the sheik and the ulemas. "Will you murder us?" asked the sheik Alepp, as he looked with calm dignity at the young man. "No, if your blood must flow, so be it upon your own head," answered Mohammed, earnestly. "You alone shall decide your own life or death, and that of your three companions.
The men of Praousta made no reply; they bowed their heads silently, and passed on, with clouded countenances, to the iron cage in which the governor's lion had once been confined, and where now stood the sheik and the ulemas, thus made wild beasts of; they, the best and wisest men of Praousta, the representatives of the people, made a public spectacle!
"Tell me what shall be done with them? It surely cannot be your intention to put these men to death if the tax is not paid?" "Most certainly, sir, that is my intention," said Mohammed, throwing back his head proudly. "They are all rebels, and the ulemas and the sheik were their leaders these, sir, were the men who counselled the people not to pay the taxes.
