Page 23 - Islam: The Religion of Ease

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Maybe he lives a more comfortable life than the ones we men-
tioned. But he can never find real happiness and peace.
Moreover, as a result of distancing himself from Allah's com-
mands, this person will face a Hereafter in which he will feel
great remorse and where he will experience the greatest difficul-
ties and pain.
Those who fear Allah and who fulfill Allah's commands
without any shortcomings are in a position of great advantage in
this world and the next. Above all, they experience spiritual
pleasure and have the clear conscience of obeying Allah. There
are always glad tidings and beauty for them. Allah gives good
news to those who seek His approval and who protect His
boundaries:
Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise,
those who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate
themselves, those who enjoin the right, and forbid evil
and, those who observe the commandments of Allah
shall be richly rewarded. (Surat at-Tawba: 112)
Those, who are remiss in upholding Allah's constraints, con-
trary to their conscience, or who see faith as horrid and infidelity
as good, will face hardships and difficulties in this life and in the
Hereafter. Allah tells us in one of His verses:
… Those are Allah's limits, and anyone who oversteps
Allah's limits has wronged himself… (Surat at-Talaq: 1)
Along with those who presume it is hard to be religious,
there are those who represent being religious as a hardship, as
we mentioned above. True are some, who have not grasped the
essence of religion, who are prone to take religion to extremes.
Just as some ignore the boundaries of religion in the name of
freedom, others have the temerity to change the boundaries
