Harun Yahya

             that Allah has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Baqara:
             231)
             An intelligent person with a good grasp of what Allah says in
        the Qur'an and nevertheless strives to appear childish, may fall
        under the judgment of this verse. (Allah knows the truth)
             In this situation, an intelligent person with faith should not re-
        sort to insincere ways to make himself appear innocent, but be pur-

        poseful in winning Allah's favor. To this end, he should be sincere
        and, instead of trying to cover up any error, he should repent and
        take refuge in the knowledge that Allah will forgive him.

             THEY EXPRESS THEIR NEGATIVITY AND
             DISCONTENT IN THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF
             EVIL.

             In order to spread the silent language of evil, another method
        that satan teaches people is negativity. Its basis lies in people's lack
        of awareness that Allah sees every evil done openly or in secret, and
        that those who do these deeds will receive the appropriate reward in
        the Hereafter. The negative personality that accompanies this
        clouded awareness is where this hidden evil is most frequently en-
        countered. A person who does negative things through satan's in-
        timidations gradually displays a series of unseemly moral qualities,
        but does so while hiding behind the "silent language of evil," think-
        ing he could not possibly be discovered.
             A person in a negative spiritual state has many apprehensions
        and doubts on his mind stemming from the influence of satan. If he
        wants to escape from satan's influence and his negative spiritual
        state, of course, he can immediately find the appropriate answer to
        all his misgivings in the Qur'an. But he does not consider how easy
        it is to escape satan's oppression, being preoccupied with his own
                                        53
