The Dark Clan

live their lives in constant nervousness and fear. The possi-
bility of one day somehow being brought to justice for their
evil deeds and the crimes they have committed causes clan
members great distress. Being brought to justice means that
their life loses its meaning and value. This is why they con-

clan with the lie: "We are powerful and we are unaccount-
able". They like to think that their resources will last forever

and they make the mistake of believing that their plans will
always function faultlessly. The passage of time and the fact
that they do not suffer the consequences they deserve
straight away, causes these people to fool themselves that
they will always get away with it. However, God reveals in
the Qur'an that He has allowed them a certain amount of

time at the end of which they too will be witnesses to the
truth:
Say: "As for those who are astray, let the All-
Merciful prolong their term until they see what
they were promised, whether it be the punish-
ment or the Hour. Then they will know who is in
the worse position and has the weaker troops."
(Qur'an, 19: 75)
No one on that Day will be able to protect anyone else
and no high office and no property will be of any use. There
will be neither organisations nor people who can prevent
God from giving the clan members their due. People on the
Day of Judgment will wish to dissociate themselves com-
pletely from the evil deeds and immoral acts of their

worldly lives and they will beg God to be allowed back to
the world just the once in order to make amends. However,
God reveals in the Qur'an:
