     وممّا شاع من أفعال مولانا أيده الله في الجهاد إنشاؤه الأجفان بجميع السواحل واستكثاره من عُدَد البحر وهذا في زمان الصلح والمُهادنة إعْدادًا لأيّام القِرة وأخذًا بالحزم في قطع أَطْماع الكفّار.

     One of the most notable deeds of our master (God assist him!) of struggle is his engineering of enceintes on all shores, and his manifold provisions in naval matters, in time of peace and armistice to prepare for days of war, to shortcircuit the cravings of the infidels resolutely.
