to emphasize how his Muslim faith drives his actions
Explanation:
When the author presents Zeitoun's thoughts, he intends to show how religiosity was influential in his life. This is because Zeiton believes that he only succeeded in his deeds because God was in control and it was God who had planned for him to get involved in the tasks and events that he got involved, because God was with him. This means that for Zeitun, the Muslim faith he carried was the driving force for his actions, achievements and victories.
