Almighty God, surely You know that I have not sought behind the founding of this city vainglory, nor pride, nor dissimulation, nor renown, nor arrogance. Rather, I sought that You would be worshipped therein and that in it Your Book shall always be recited and Your laws and Your Prophet’s tradition shall always be preserved as long as You shall preserve them...”
--Supplication of Moulay Idris II, founder of Fes Morocco
