Page 161 - The Silent Language Of Evil
P. 161
Harun Yahya
Until then, they will claim that they have been misunderstood. they
have never been able to express to others that their hearts are really
pure, and are well-intentioned and innocent. They imagine that they
have been unfairly treated because they cannot express themselves
well, that no one has been able to understand them except themselves.
At the base of all this blame they direct toward others is their in-
sincerity towards Allah, Who created all the things they have experi-
enced. The Qur'an tells us that these individuals will see nothing
wrong in defending themselves to Allah even at the moment of their
deaths:
As for those the angels take in death while they are wrong-
ing themselves, they will offer their submission: "We did
not do any evil." Oh yes you did! Allah knows what you
were doing. (Surat an-Nahl: 28)
Instead of leading their lives in a way to please Allah, they fol-
low satan and, although called to the true path, they do not give up
their wickedness. Since they constantly find various means of justi-
fying themselves, they do not hesitate to defend themselves until the
last minute. The Qur'an tells us that these people have made a sick-
ness out of their desire to be right and that, in doing so, have not ex-
hibited the character of a Muslim:
Those who associate others with Allah will say, "If Allah
had willed we would not have associated anything with
Him, nor would our fathers; nor would we have made any-
thing forbidden." In the same way the people before them
also lied until they felt Our violent force. Say: "Do you have
some knowledge you can produce for us? You are follow-
ing nothing but conjecture. You are only guessing." (Surat
al-An'am: 148)
