           right, and they strive to behave in the best possible way. For this
           reason, they are satisfied spiritually and have a contented and
           consistently positive state of mind.
                In the Qur'an Allah gives this example comparing these two
           groups of individuals:
                Allah has made a metaphor for them of a man owned
                by several partners in dispute with one another and an-
                other man wholly owned by a single man. Are they the
                same? Praise be to Allah! The fact is that most of them
                do not know. (Surat az-Zumar, 29)
                As Allah relates in the Qur’an, there is nothing in common
           between those who strive to win Allah's favor only and those who
           follow rules set by people who, among themselves, share neither
           harmony nor communality. There is no misunderstanding or dis-
           sention among only those who believe in Allah, obey only what
           He commands and follow His book. For this reason, they are not
           obsessed about what people do or do not say, or about what peo-
           ple do or do not think. They think deeply, believing that the most
           important thing is not to conform to this world or the people in it,
           but to please our Lord in this world and the next.
                In another verse, Allah reminds people that it would be a
           great error for them to accept any other guide besides Him:
                Say: "Have you thought about your partner gods, those
                you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have
                created of the earth; or do they have a partnership in the
                heavens?" Have We given them a Book whose Clear
                Signs they follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers prom-
                ise each other nothing but delusion. (Surat al-Fatir, 40)
                But as we already explained in detail, this belief is rooted in
           people living in societies of ignorance. They are condemned to
