Page 23 - Living in Accordance with the Qur'an
P. 23
Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya)
Therefore, the secret behind the sincere piety approved by God is
to practice the tenets of the Qur’an without fail. Every Muslim
should check themselves at any moment to identify their shortcom-
ings and remedy these points as soon as possible in order to better
practice the Qur’an. In this fleeting world where we are but momen-
tary guests, we should strive to become sincerely pious believers,
who practice religion to the best of our ability in full compliance
with God’s wishes, so as to imbue our souls with a quality befitting
of heaven and to be worthy of God’s love.
This book collects the verses of the Qur’an under various headings
to show and remind us how we can put the verses into practice in
our daily lives as a prayer to increase our effort to become more
pious. In this way, it will be easier to find an answer to the question
“How would God want us to act in this situation?” and implement it
in any incident we encounter throughout the day. Humankind is
prone to forgetfulness, absent-mindedness and being absorbed in
details, thus losing track of what is essential. May God render this
book a means to remind us and urge us to remind others what is
essential lest we forget, and to make us spend every minute seeking
the most of God’s approval.
... “Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mis-
take! Our Lord, do not place on us a load like the one You placed
on those before us! Our Lord, do not place on us a load we have
not the strength to bear! And pardon us; and forgive us; and
have mercy on us. You are our Master, so help us against the
people of the disbelievers. (Surah al-Baqara, 286)
