I  do  so  with  the  utmost  humility。  For  there¨s  also  the  issue  of  style。  It  has 
always caused me great pain that I¨m belittled in the Glorious Koran。 But this 
pain is my way of life。 This is simply the way it is。 
It¨s true�察�God created man before the eyes of us angels。 Then He wanted us 
to prostrate ourselves before this creation。 Yes�察�it happened the way it¨s written 
in  ^The  Heights ̄  chapter�此 �While  all  the  other  angels  bowed  before  man�察 �I 
refused。 I reminded all that Adam was made from mud�察�whereas I was created 
from fire�察�a superior element as all of you are familiar。 So I didn¨t bow before 
man。 And God found my behavior�察�well�察 �proud。 ̄ 
^Lower yourself from these heavens�察院�He said。 ^It¨s beyond the likes of you 
to scheme for greatness here。 ̄ 
^Permit me to live until Judgment Day�察院�I said�察 �until the dead arise。 ̄ 
He granted His permission。 I promised that during this entire time I would 
tempt the descendents of Adam�察�who¨d been the cause of my punishment�察�and 
He said He¨d send to Hell those I¨d successfully corrupted。 I don¨t have to tell 
you  that  we¨ve  each  remained  true  to  his  word。  I  have  nothing  more  to  say 
about the matter。 
As some will claim�察�at that time Almighty God and I made a pact。 According 
to them�察�I was helping to test the Almighty¨s subjects by attempting to destroy 
their faith�此�The good�察�possessed of sound judgment�察�would not be led astray�察�
313 
 
while the evil�察�giving into their carnal desires�察�would sin�察�to later fill the depths 
of Hell。 Therefore�察�portant�此�If all men went to Heaven�察�
no  one  would  ever  be  frightened�察 �and  the  world  and  its  governments  could 
never function on virtue alone�察�for in our world evil is as necessary as virtue 
and sin as necessary as rectitude。 Given that I am to thank for the genesis of 
Allah¨s worldly order!with His permission no less ��why else would He allow 
me to live until Judgment Day�殖�!to be branded ^evil ̄ and never be granted 
my due is my hidden troment。 Men like the mystic Mansur�察�the wool carder�察�
or the famous Imam Gazzali¨s younger brother Ahmet Gazzali�察�have taken this 
line of reasoning so far as to conclude in their writings that if the sins I caused 
are actually mitted through God¨s permission and will�察�then they are what 
God  desires�察 �furthermore�察 �they  maintain  that  good  and  evil  do  not  exist 
because everything emerges from God�察�and even I am a part of Him。 
Some of these mindless men have quite appropriately been burned to death 
with their books。 Of course�察�good and evil do exist�察�and the responsibility for 
drawing a line between the two falls to each of us。 I am not Allah�察�God forbid�察�
and  I  was  not  the  one  who  planted  such  absurdities  into  the  heads  of  these 
dimwits�察�they came up with it all by themselves。 
This brings me to my second plaint�此�I am not the source of all the evil 
and sin in the world。 Many people sin out of their own blind ambition�察�lust�察�
lack of willpower�察�baseness�察�and most often�察�out of their own idiocy without 
any  instigation�察 �deception  or  temptation  on  my  part。  However  absurd  the 
efforts of certain learned mystics to absolve me of any evil might be�察�so too is 
the  assumption  that  I  am  the  source  of  all  of  it�察 �which  also  contradicts  the 
Glorious Koran。 I¨m not the one who tempts every fruit monger who craftily 
foists  rotten  apples  upon  his  customers�察 �every  child  who  tells  a  lie�察 �every 
fawning sycophant�察�every old man who has obscene daydreams or every boy 
who jacks off。 Even the Almighty couldn¨t find anything evil in passing wind 
or  jacking  off。  Sure�察 �I  work  very  hard  so  you  might  mit  grave  sins。  But 
some hojas claim that all of you who gape�察�sneeze or even fart are my dupes�察�
which tells me they haven¨t understood me in the least。 
Let them misunderstand you�察�so you can dupe them all the more easily�察�you 
might  suggest。  True。  But  let  me  remind  you�察 �I  have  my  pride�察 �which  is  what 
caused me to fall out with the Almighty in the first place。 Even though I can 
assume  every  imaginable  form�察 �and  though  it¨s  been  recorded  in  numerous 
books  tens  of  thousands  of  times  that  I¨ve  successfully  tempted  the  pious�察�
especially in the lust´kindling guise of a beautiful woman�察�can the miniaturist 
brethren before me tonight please explain why they persist in picturing me as 
314 
 
a  misshapen�察 �horned�察 �long´tailed  and  gruesome  creature  with  a  face  covered 
with protruding moles�拭�
Like so�察�we arrive at the heart of the matter�此�figurative painting。 An Istanbul 
street  mob  incited  by  a  preacher  whose  name  I  won¨t  mention  so  he  won¨t 
bother you later on�察�condemns the following as being contrary to the word of 
God�此�the calling of the azan like a song�察�the gathering of men in dervish lodges�察�
sitting in each other¨s laps�察�and chanting with abandon to the acpaniment 
of musical instruments�察�and the drinking of coffee。 I¨ve heard that some of the 
miniaturists among us who fear this preacher and his mob claim that I¨m the 
one  behind  all  this  painting  in  the  Frankish  style。  For  centuries�察 �countless 
accusations have been leveled at me�察�but none so far from the truth。 
Let¨s start from the beginning。 Everybody gets caught up in my provoking 
Eve  to  eat  of  the  forbidden  fruit  and  forgets  about  how  this  whole  matter 
began。 No�察�it doesn¨t begin with my hubris before the Almighty�察�either。 Before 
anything else�察�there¨s the matter of His presenting man to us and expecting us 
to  bow  down  to  him�察 �which  met  with  my  quite  appropriate  and  decisive 
refusal!though  the  other  angels  obeyed。  Do  you  think  it  fitting  that�察 �after 
creating  me  from  fire�察 �He  require  me  to  bow  before  man�察 �whom  He  created 
out of the crudest mud�拭�Oh my brethren�察�speak the truth of your conscience。 
All  right�察 �then�察 �I  know  you¨ve  been  thinking  about  it  and  fear  that  anything 
said here will not just remain between us�此�He will hear it all and one day He¨ll 
call  you  to  account。  Fine�察 �never  mind  why  He¨s  provided  you  with  that 
conscience in the first instance�察�I agree�察�you¨re justified in being afraid�察�and I¨ll 
forget  about  this  question  and  the  mud´versus´fire  debate。  But  there¨s 
something  I¨ll  never  forget!yes  indeed�察 �something  I¨ll  always  be  proud  of�此 �I 
never bowed down before man。 
This�察�however�察�is precisely what the  new European masters are doing�察�and 
they¨re  not  satisfied  with  merely  depicting  and  displaying  every  single  detail 
down  to  the  eye  color�察 �plexion�察 �curvy  lips�察 �forehead  wrinkles�察 �rings  and 
disgusting  ear  hair  of  gentlemen�察 �priests�察 �wealthy  merchants  and  even 
women!including  the  lovely  shadows  that  fall  between  their  breasts。  These 
artists also dare to situate their subjects in the center of the page�察�as if man 
were  meant  to  be  worshiped�察 �and  display  these  portraits  like  idols  before 
which  we  should  prostrate  ourselves。  Is  man  important  enough  to  warrant 
being  drawn  in  every  detail�察 �including  his  shadow�拭 �If  the  houses  on  a  street 
were  rendered  according  to  man¨s  false  perception  that  they  gradually 
diminish  in  size  as  they  recede  into  the  distance�察 �wouldn¨t  man  then 
effectively  be  usurping  Allah¨s  place  at  the  center  of  the  world�拭 �Well�察 �Allah�察�
315 
 
almighty and omnipotent�察�would know better than I。 But surely it¨s absurd on 
the  face  of  it  to  credit  me  with  the  idea  of  these  portraits�察 �I�察 �who  having 
refused to prostrate myself before man suffered untold pain and isolation�察�I�察�
who fell from God¨s grace to bee the subject of curses。 It would be more 
reasonable to hold me responsible�察�as some mullahs and preachers do�察�for all 
the children who play with themselves and everyone who farts。 
I have one last ment on this subject�察�but my words aren¨t for men who 
can¨t  think  beyond  their  eagerness  to  show  off�察 �their  carnal  desires�察 �lust  for 
money  or  other  absurd  passions�  �Only  God�察 �in  His  infinite  wisdom�察 �will 
understand me�此�Was it not You who instilled man with pride by making the 
angels bow before him�拭�Now they regard themselves as Your angels were made 
to  regard  them�察 �men  are  worshiping  themselves�察 �placing  themselves  at  the 
center of the world。 Even your most devoted servants want to be depicted in 
the style of the Frankish masters。 I know it as well as I know my own name 
that this narcissism will end in their forgetting You entirely。 And I¨m the one 
who¨ll be blamed。 
How might I convince you that I don¨t take all of this to heart�拭�Naturally�察�
by standing firmly on my own two feet despite centuries of merciless stonings�察�
curses�察�damnings and denouncements。 If only my angry and shallow enemies�察�
who never tire of condemning me�察�would remember that it was the Almighty 
Himself  who  granted  me  life  until  Judgment  Day�察 �while  allotting  them  no 
more  than  sixty  or  seventy  years。  If  I  were  to  advise  them  that  they  could 
extend this period by drinking coffee�察�I knoe�察�because it 
was Satan speaking�察�would do the exact opposite and refuse coffee entirely�察�or 
worse yet�察�stand on their heads and try pouring it into their asses。 
Don¨t laugh。 It¨s not the content�察�but the form of thought that counts。 It¨s 
not what a miniaturist paints�察�but his style。 Yet these things should be subtle。 I 
was going to conclude with a love story�察�but it¨s gotten quite late。 The honey´
tongued master storyteller who¨s given me voice tonight promises to tell this 
story  of  love  when  he  hangs  up  the  picture  of  a  woman  the  day  after 
tomorrow�察�on Wednesday night。

I�察�SHEKURE 
 
I dreamed that my father was telling me inprehensible things�察�and it was 
so terrifying that I woke up。 Shevket and Orhan were clinging tightly to me on 
either  side�察 �and  their  warmth  made  me  sweat。  Shevket  had  his  hand  on  my 
stomach。 Orhan was resting his sweaty head on my bosom。 Some
