without any qualms, the rise in the crime rate; the way people have no
respect left for one another, the spread of gossip—these are just a few
ways in which moral degeneration manifests itself. This situation,
particularly prevalent in some Western countries, clearly shows how
dangerous this degeneration is.
At the root of all this lie the incorrect answers to the question of
why human beings exist. The truth is that people exist in order to

know God, their Creator. In the verse, "Only in the remembrance of
God can the heart find peace" (Surat ar-Ra'd, 28), God reveals that
there is only one source of the peace that people seek in the wrong
places. The religious moral lifestyle commanded by God will bring a
person peace and happiness in the world.
Ignoring this fact brings with it moral degeneration, and pro-
duces unhappiness, despair, and depression.
One major cause of this moral corruption is the Darwinist ideol-
ogy defining a human being not as a servant of God, but as a selfish

animal that came into being by chance. According to this unscientific
claim, a human should not be expected to have different laws and
moral values from those of an animal. Life is a struggle, and human
beings must be totally ruthless, fighting tooth and nail with one an-
other.
