                                  THE ALLIANCE OF THE GOOD

              Even those among whom there is constant competition, or
              who have problems with each other due to conflict of
              interests, forget all about their differences when a common
              goal is in question, and decide to unite. This goal is the one

              commanded by Satan: to form a joint force against the good,
              against Muslims who believe in God and the hereafter,
              sincere, conscientious and honest people who are on the side
              of justice. In this way, they want to coerce the good to their
              side… God gives an account of this secret call of Satan in the
              verse; "…The Satans inspire their friends to dispute with
              you…"(Surat al-An'am: 121)
                  The ultimate aim of this alliance, shaped by the efforts
              and inspiration of Satan, does not differ from the goals of the
              evil of the past.
                  Both in the past and today, the main goal of the alliance of
              the evil is to hinder the diffusion of moral values, like self-
              sacrifice, sincerity, honesty, conscientiousness and justice
              among people. No matter how such people strive to present
              themselves as the advocates of goodness, and living by the
              principles of the Qur'an, these values will always remain an

              impediment to their attainment of their personal ambitions,
              that is, they do not suit their purposes. This is the underlying
              reason why they exert such an all-out effort to obstruct the
              spread of the Qur'anic principles and desire to have fewer
              good people around. Meanwhile, they wish the good to
              become diverted from the right path, and to join them. They
              always wish them to disregard the truth and pursue trivial
              aims and desires, as do the wicked, and become people who
              live only to eat, drink and enjoy themselves. Once the good
              start talking, thinking and writing like them, and conduct
