Harun Yahya

But characteristically, they do all this to make the other person feel
that they acted as they did for a particular reason. For example, they
give priority to talk about unrelated matters rather than saying any
expressions of love. Or instead of complimenting a person's good
qualities, they deliberately praise someone else. Or instead of com-

voice so that other people will know that they do not feel like talk-
ing. But, at the same time, they want to send the message with their
facial expressions that their feelings are not sincere.

The behavior urged on these people by satan is very wide-
spread among those who live their lives far removed from the moral
teachings of the Qur'an. Even those who claim that they love one an-

people with faith, there is no such thing. Believers feel a sincere love
toward those who practice the morality of the Qur'an and expect no
return for it. They attach no importance to who showed love first,
