           the kind of moral behavior expected by Allah. However,
           Muslims also treat pitiless, cruel and unjust individuals who be-
           have badly towards them as their moral virtue dictates—and
           under no conditions do they compromise the virtuous behavior
           that pleases Allah.
                Therefore, never do believers diverge or withdraw from
           their path of moral virtue. Always humane, they never lose their
           religious convictions, because their life aim is based on their de-
           sire to be servants of Allah. In the Qur'an, Allah describes this
           kind of moral virtue:
                [People of intelligence are] those who are steadfast in

                give from the provision We have given them, secretly
                and openly, and stave off evil with good, it is they who
                will have the Ultimate Abode. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 22)

                In "people-worshipping religion", much importance is
           placed on wealth. In this false religion, wealth means power. A
           person with power in society has a few highly valued privileges;
           the richest person is the most popular, most deferred to, and en-
           joys the most friends. Such a person thinks that wealth will open
           wide all the proverbial doors for him. For this reason, some indi-
           viduals expend lots of effort putting this aspect of themselves in
           the foreground. They have a number of ways to get people to
           notice how rich they are and how they like to spend money.
           They never miss the opportunity to strengthen the impression of
           how wealthy they are, they are lavish, sometimes extravagant,
           in spending money on clothes, cars and houses. They decorate
