            Their hearts harden, and they turn their backs on Allah.
               However, blessings are given not to be spoiled by them
            but to give thanks for them. Aware of this,  a believer only
            uses, in the words of the Qur’an, “the attractions of this
            world” to earn Allah’s approval. He does not make an effort
            to consume them. Nothing in his life has arisen by chance,
            and he is absolutely face to face with a situation by which
            he is tested. Someone aware of this fact is in possession
            of an important secret in the world. Due to this understand-

            is because if he has sincerely believed, he would in a short
            while meet various difficulties and be tested in whether he
            is sincere in his faith.


               4. Religious morality is easy and accords
               with human nature
               In ignorant societies, traditions, customs, false beliefs,
            and many other non-religious elements have been incor-
            porated into Islam. As a result a crooked model that is dif-
            ficult to practice has emerged. When the deliberate propa-
            ganda carried out by those who oppose the religion are
            added to this picture, a vast majority of people start to
