3 - Attaining endless bliss requires being a Muslim. To be a Muslim, no formality is necessary, such as going to a mufti or imam. It is stated in the twelfth chapter of Maqamat- i-mazhariyya, "It will be enough to say: 'I believe Allahu ta'ala and His Messenger and all the messages he (the Prophet) brought from Allahu ta'ala. I love the friends of Allahu ta'ala and His Messenger, and hate their enemies.' It is scholars' duty to prove every religious teaching with documents and to indicate the ayat al-karimas and hadith ash-Sharifs that are its fulcrums. Not every Muslim is encumbered with it." As it is stated in Ibni Abidin's book at the end of the chapter "The disbeliever's marriage": ["It is not a condition for an old man who becomes a Muslim to be circumcised at once. Some 'alims said that it is even permissible not to circumcise him since circumcision does not legitimize the exposing of one's private parts." It is written in the book al-Hadiqa and Bariqa that "Old or unhealthy men who become Muslim will not be circumcised if they can't stand its pain." Doctor Najmuddin Arif bey (1343 [1925 A.D.]) says in his book Amali Jarrahi published in Istanbul, "The Jews circumcise their boys when they are seven days old, but Muslim boys are circumcised at any age. Many Christians in Europe and in the United States have themselves and their boys circumcised thinking that it is good for their health. This is written also in the book Fann-i hitan by doctor Riza Nur bey, who was a deputy of Sinop."
