What if the question you have been afraid to ask is the door, and not the exit?

You know the one. You asked it out loud once, years ago, and the room went quiet in a way you have never forgotten. So you put it somewhere lower down, and you kept coming, and you never said it again.

Eleven hundred years ago, in a village on the eastern edge of Samarkand, a boy asked that same question in a mosque and was told to be grateful and stop. He spent the rest of his life proving he had been right to ask. His name was Abu Mansur al-Maturidi. He held no office, served no ruler, and wrote twelve books, of which ten are lost and one survived in a single copy in a foreign library for a thousand years. The creed he built is held today by hundreds of millions of Muslims from Bosnia to Bengal, most of whom have never heard of him.
