"Even if you gave me as much gold as the entire world, let alone the 150 million English pounds in golds, i would not accept it at all. I have served the Islamic nation and the ummah of Prophet Efendi (asws) for more than thirty years and never did i blacken the pages of Muslims. I will never accept what you ask of me." - II. Abdülhamid
