Summary
Какой должна быть политика Российского государства по отношению к исламу, о необходимости возобновления канонов ислама для улучшения «плачевного» положения как российских, так и зарубежных мусульман. М. Биги критикует режим большевиков в России и противопоставляет ему свой идеал в виде халифата, выступая при этом за сохранение Османского халифата и выражая надежду, что таким путем татарский народ сможет сохраниться как нация. Исходя из сложившейся в мире ситуации, он полагал, что только Турция может стать центром мусульманского мира, объединив все народы, которые считают себя мусульманами.
