The Evil's Greatest Fear: The Alliance Of The Good

The Good Only Seek the Good Pleasure of

God

That evil, merciless and aggressive people represent the
majority, or seem to possess great material wealth, may cause
some spiritually weak and ignorant people to develop
inaccurate interpretations about them. These people may
exaggerate their power and attach more importance to them
than they actually deserve. However, the power of people
who are distant from God is short-lived and illusory. God is
the actual possessor of all the power and resources and it is
He who grants such capabilities to people for a time to test
them. No man has the power to harm another or to be
superior over others merely through his wealth or power.
Rather, God grants such potency to test man, though it is all
within His grasp.
Aman without a strong faith fears cruel people and
hesitates to confront them. For this reason, the evil go to great
lengths as to please such people and strive to earn their
respect. They direct all their talk and behaviour in such a way
as to convey the message that they are "on their side", and
think that they will earn wealth and power as long as they
are under their "wing". Little do they know, however, that
such an inclination degrades and dishonours them before
God and His sincere servants. It is similar to a man who fears
a burglar and thus tries to please him, or someone who tries
to behave like a murderer because he is afraid of one.
What is important is to become a person valued by God,
the One Who is the Creator and Possessor of everything. For
this reason, those who fail to grasp the might of God must be
told about the importance of the fear for God and love for
