The sultan straightened his uniform. Then he put his ribbons across his uniform, attached his medals, and finally donned his red fez. Then he took one last look at himself in the mirror before heading out of the palace to the horse-drawn carriage that would take him to the Yildiz Mosque for the weekly Friday prayer. It was July 21, 1905, in Istanbul, the capital of the gigantic Ottoman Empire. But just as Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the supreme leader of the kingdom, was about to leave his quarters, he received word that one of the kingdom's foremost Islamic scholars, Mehmet Cemaleddin Efendi, wanted to speak with him.
