Page 31 - A Call For Unity

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

You cannot guide those you would like to, but Allah
guides whoever He wills. He has best knowledge of the
guided. (Surat Al-Qasas: 56)
Muslims are only responsible for relaying the truth and
inviting people to believe, for belief cannot be forced upon
someone. Allah says:
There is no compulsion in religion. Right guidance has
become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects
false deities and believes in Allah has grasped the
Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is
All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Surat Al-Baqara: 256)

Muslims naturally abide by the Qur'an's morality when
dealing with the People of the Book. For example, the Qur'an
says that Muslims are expected to respect the Christians' and
the Jews' beliefs and reputations, protect them and be com-
passionate toward them, for they are fellow believers in
Allah's existence and unity, His angels and Prophets, the Day

of Judgment, and the necessity to abide by religious morality.
This fact is an important measure for the Muslims to feel com-
passion for them and to protect them.
Allah also reveals in the Qur'an that those Christians and
Jews who believe in Him as the One and Only, and the Day
of Judgment and do good deeds will receive the fairest re-
wards for their virtue:

Those with faith, those who are Jews, Christians, and
Sabaeans, all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and
act rightly will have their reward with their Lord. They
will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Surat Al-
Baqara: 62)
