SATAN'S SLY GAME:
THE FALSE RELIGION OF PEOPLE-WORSHIP

theme of this book. This passionate attachment to other human
beings we call "The Religion of Worshipping People." In many
places in the Qur'an, Allah invites humans to save themselves
from this errant belief and serve only Him. In one of these verses,
He says:
[Abraham said,] "Instead of Allah you worship only
idols. You are inventing a lie. Those you worship be-
sides Allah have no power to provide for you. So seek
your provision from Allah and worship Him and give
thanks to Him. It is to Him you will be returned." (Surat
al-'Ankabut, 17)
This book will show how this satanic system puts people in
great danger, both in this world and in terms of their eternal life to
come. We will explain how it coerces them into rejecting Allah,
Who created them, and deifies people in His place (Allah is beyond
that). In various examples from daily life, we will demonstrate how
people fall under the control of this system. Using verses from the
Qur'an, we will explain what people must do to save themselves
from the spell of this false religion while they still have time.
No matter how great this distorted religion's influence on
society, it must be remembered that a person with willpower and
intelligence will find it very easy to renounce this superstitious
system. The solution is simple: Have sincere faith in Allah and
believe in no other gods besides Him. For His faithful servants,
Allah opens the way and guides them along the right path. He
has made the Qur'an the means by which they can escape the
darkness of their lives. In many verses like this, Allah gives good
tidings to those who believe in Him:
Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings
them out of the darkness into the light… (Surat al-
Baqara, 257)
