Page 81 - Fear of Allah

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
and a cry. Deaf–dumb–blind. They do not use their intellect.
(Surat al-Baqara: 171)
Another topic these people unthinkingly deny is the resurrec-
tion. For a person who knows he was created from nothing and
knows for sure he will eventually die, to ask how he will be resur-
rected, is without a doubt, bewildering and amazing. The Qur'an
refers to The Day of Resurrection and describes the incredulous re-
action of the people who deny it:
If you are surprised at their blindness, what could be more
surprising than their words: "What, when we are turned to
dust, shall we then be created all anew?" These are the peo-
ple who reject their Lord. Such people have iron collars
round their necks. Such people are the Companions of the
Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Surat ar-Ra'd: 5)

Their pride and arrogance

When he is told to fear Allah, he is seized by pride which
drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him!
What an evil resting-place! (Surat al-Baqara: 206)
The most identifiable feature of those people who do not fear
Allah is their state of vacuous pride and arrogance. What lies behind
this is the person seeing himself as being independent of Allah and
attributing to himself characteristics which belong only to Allah.
This is quite absurd, since mankind is weak and has many limita-
tions. No matter how high and mighty he may consider himself, he
will eventually get tired, get hungry, get thirsty, become sleepy, suf-
fer headaches and other illnesses, his body will deteriorate as he gets
older, and eventually he will die and his body will perish.
