Page 77 - The Worst Slander: Idolatry

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 75

actually move them even further away from Allah and
increase their idolatry. Allah reveals in the Qur'an the situa-
tion of how these people idolize their false deities suppos-
ing them as intercessions and that in essence these have no
validity in the Presence of Allah:
They worship, instead of Allah, that which can neither
harm nor help them, saying: "These are our interces-
sors with Allah." Ask: "Would you inform Allah of some-
thing about which He does not know either in the heav-
ens or on earth?" May He be glorified and exalted above
what they associate with Him! (Surah Yunus: 18)
Being far removed from the Qur'an means that they are
also far removed from its moral values. In their everyday life,
behaviors and conversations they follow a model incompat-
ible with the Qur'anic morality and the Sunna. Since they do
not read the Qur'an, or read it only with an idolatrous men-
tality that prevents them from understanding it correctly,
they remain deprived of the blessings, knowledge, fine
moral values, and spiritual virtues that Allah bestows on the
believers in the Qur'an. Leaving its superior virtues aside,
the idolaters find all kinds of immorality and fraud far more
attractive. In addition, they are quite capable of suppressing
their conscience and violating the bounds established by
Allah for humanity in order to justify their decisions when
placed in a difficult position or when their earthly desires
and wishes conflict with Allah's regulations.
Another one of their characteristics is parsimony. In one
verse Allah reveals that the believers use whatever money is
left after meeting their needs to care for other people.
