from their perverse beliefs. For those who live their lives to win
Allah's favor, the fact that Allah knows and sees everything they do
is sufficient for them. Those who do not practice this morality as

We can see that the logic of their scenario is based in the insin-
cere premise that the fault lies not with those who make excuses, but
with others. However, all these explanations are ridden with faulty
