Master Elegant Effendi narrates, “am dead, but I have not been buried, and therefore my soul has not completely left my body. This extraordinary situation, although naturally my case isn’t the first, has inflicted horrible suffering upon the immortal part of me. Though I cannot feel my crushed skull or my decomposing body covered in wounds, full of broken bones and partially submerge in ice-cold water, I do feel the deep torment of my soul struggling desperately to escape its mortal coil….I instantly understood that the wretch wanted to kill me when he unexpectedly struck me with a stone and cracked my skull, but I didn’t believe he’d follow through.” Master Effendi’s demise is attributed to murder. According to him, humans espouse an immortal soul which does not cease to exist after death. He gives a precise imagery of the aftermath of death which is characterized by disintegrating body parts.

The narrator explains, “A cleric by the name Nusret, who preached at the Bayazid Mosque and claimed to be descended from Our Glorious Prophet Muhammed, had made a name for himself during this period of immorality, inflation, crime and theft.” The Prophet Muhammad is a credible and respected figure among the Muslims. Nusret associates himself with the prophet to upsurge his believability among the listeners of his preaching.
