АХМЕД НУРУДИН И ЏИХАД
Ahmed Nuruddin and Jihad

Summary/Abstract: Dervish and Death is a novel about a man composed of both good and bad sides. Both are integrated in his essence. That is why the man is bestowed sense and strength of will to decide what side he is going to favor, to guide him and his actions and to define him. It is well known that the Creator made angels (meleka) providing them with sense, but leaving them without needs (shehvet). It is also known that he created animals with needs but without sense, while the people were provided with both. Thus, where needs overpower sense the man is worse than an animal, while where the sense overpowers needs, the man is better than an angel. However, the fight against needs is not easy at all. In this novel, we realize how difficult and painstaking it is. Great strength of will and persistence is indispensable, thus making the fight (dzihad) uppermost. The effort of Ahmet Nurudin is in fact the fight of whole world. The main character of the novel surrendered, yet there is still a hope for the people worldwide.
