one's glasses. Idolatry blocks the light of truth in exactly the
same way. Taking off one's glasses in a single stroke is
both easy and the only effective way to pass from idolatry
to the life of faith and purity that pleases Allah. And, this
involves no more than deciding to trust Him in all circum-
stances and to adhere scrupulously to His commands and
prohibitions in the Qur'an. This sincerity and determination
will inevitably bring with it His assistance and mercy, as well
as the true path to salvation in both worlds.
Only Allah can lead people to the true path. Thus, those
who wish to live a life that will win His approval must con-
stantly ask Him to guide them to the true path, help them to
live an honest and sincere life, and know that He will cer-
tainly answer such sincere and honest prayers. They must
never fall into satan's trap of pessimism by wondering How
can I ever manage all of this? How can I ever acquire a sin-
cere and unsullied faith? Rather, they must understand that
Allah will turn them in the direction of the best path and pro-
tect them from all deviations, provided that they show true
sincerity and determination, and enable them to live in the
ease and joy that such knowledge brings.
Those who abandon their false deities and turn to Allah
alone will never be left empty and alone; on the contrary,
they will attain the greatest peace, comfort, and security.
Allah states this in the Qur'an:
Whoever has fear of [and respect for] Allah – He will give
him a way out and provide for him from where he does
not expect. Whoever puts his trust in Allah – He will be
enough for him. Allah always achieves His aim... (Surat
al-Talaq: 2-3)
