The above named Ulemas came to me frequently and I also returnecf
their calls. This went on for about a whole week during which I
the conversation was mainly confined to religious controversies I
and discussions of intricacies of theology. All this resulted
in these Ulemas giving me certificates of Litihad . Armed with
these certificates my dignity and integrity was established
amongst the people of Iraq and whatever I said in my sermons
and speeches was accepted with trie authority of religious
I^atwahs.
3. German propaganda in Iraq .- On my arrival in Iraq and
asa result of my mixing among the various societies I came to
know that the Iraqis had great respect and sympathies for the
Congress in India and also for Germany in Europe. The reason
for this was that the German secret agents had succeeded in
creating intimate social contacts with the students in colleges
and schools whom they always asked to their tea parties and
invited them to their educational lectures and helped them in
their learning modern games and the art of mixing with
Europeans socially. In addition to these German agents, the
Ulemas of Iraq had attributed the problem of Hejaz, destruction
of shrines in Madina and Mecca, the assistance rendered to the
Jews in Palestine and general tyranny upon the Mussulmans, to
the British, whom they described as the enemies of Islam and
had thereby aroused a general feeling of religious resentment
