The Dark Clan

and ugly daring is noticeable straight away. The source of
this daring is the certainty of the support they will receive
from the other clan members. As was seen in Yusuf's narra-
tive, even though his innocence was proven against the alle-
gations of the governor's wife, the leaders of that society had
him arrested, this being in the best interest of the clan.
In the example of past societies given in the Qur'an, an-

other of the Clan's qualities is highlighted. It is their absolute
confidence in the belief that their cunning plans, immoralities
and crimes will not be exposed. For example, Pharaoh, one of
the most savage deniers known to history, was the foremost
representative of the dark clan at that time. Pharaoh and his
clan were persecuting Musa (peace be upon him) and the be-

lievers and scheming against them in the certainty that vic-
tory was theirs. The verses say the following:
Pharaoh sent marshals into the cities: 'These
people are a small group and we find them irri-
tating and we constitute a vigilant majority."
(Qur'an, 26: 53-56)
But another verse states:
Or do those who do bad actions imagine they can
outstrip Us? How bad their judgment is! (Qur'an,
29: 4)

It is never possible for the wicked to be victorious over
the good. No matter how hard the dark clan works in order to
assure its continuity and whatever shady means it resorts to,
it is destined to be defeated in the end. This is God's eternal
law.
