Page 83 - Satan's Sly Game: The False Religion of People-Worship

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Allah sees everything he does, and knows when anyone lies. He
knows that even if a person can hide the truth from others, he
cannot hide it from Allah. As He tells us this in the Qur'an:
… Nothing is hidden from Allah either on the earth or
in heaven. (Surah Ibrahim, 38)
In one of his hadiths, our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) contain the excellent advice he gave about
speaking the truth:
O Muadh, I advise you: Fear Allah, speak the truth, fulfill
promise, pay up trust, give up breach of trust, save your neigh-
bor, show kindness to orphans... (Imam Ghazzali, Ihya Ulum-
Id-Din (The Book of Religious Learnings), Islamic Book
Service, New Delhi, 2001, Volume II, p. 236)
But the religion of people worshipping distances the hearts
of individuals from Allah and impels them to tell lies as a fact of
life making its members believe that immorality is almost a nat-
ural trait of human beings. This is why they disregard the fact
that Allah knows everything that humans keep inside them-
selves and fail to reveal. In their conversations, they are forced to
deceive others to make it appear that they are not hiding some-
thing inside, and make a show of affection even though they do
not feel it. As a result of all this, deep insincerity dominates their
friendships and all their other personal relationships. Large
numbers of people who practice ignorant religion live out their
lives and finally die without experiencing the real affection and
sincerity that faith in Allah brings. They have never known a real
friendship that is not opportunistic but based on unconditional
love and focused on the life of paradise, which is, in the words of
our Prophet is, "nearer to any of you than the strap of his shoe, and so
is the [hell] Fire." (Imam Ahmad, Volume 1, Number 387)
