74 NEVER PLEAD IGNORANCE

Aperson having fear for Allah often shows patience no matter what
he encounters in life. Difficulties neither demoralise nor discourage him.
Trusting Allah, he confronts every incident with determination and
courage. By trusting Allah and with the state of spirit the religion grants
man, he assesses incidents wisely. Disbelievers, however, always incur
trouble and superstitious fears leading them to a hellish life. Neither soci-
eties nor individuals attain a condition of heart that finds the satisfaction
the verse which follows indicates: "… Only in the remembrance of Allah
can the heart find peace." (Surat al-Ra'd: 28)
So, ponder on the fact that disbelief eradicates all human and
beautiful feelings and never plead ignorance of the fact that those who
do not submit themselves to the will of Allah live in trouble and regret
both in this world and beyond.
