Page 63 - Ever Thought About The Truth ?

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

basing one's courage on nothing but his trust in Allah, fearing
nothing but Allah and sacrificing one's life in the way of Allah
when so required are among the most important characteristics
of the believers. However this superstitious intellectual system
we mentioned utterly pervertedly describes courage as in-
dulging in the most extreme perversions, honesty as engaging
openly and fearlessly in immoral activities, and determination as
being firm in maintaining and promoting these irreligious values
until his death.
Within this superstitious system, when we look at the situa-
tion of youngsters, we see that such concepts as "courage" and
"decisiveness" are put on a par with certain personality distor-
tions like rudeness, bullying, knowing no bound, attacking
other's rights, being opportunist, abusing people, aggressive-
ness, litigiousness, arrogance and becoming haughty. This un-
sound and perverted physchology is presented as being the
"rebel" or the "tough guy" as if it were an enviable state of mind.".
Tactlessness, scurrilousness and garrulity are praised as signs of
being a "straightforward" person.
Allah reveals the untrustworthiness of people with the neg-
ative charactwristics listed above, and other similar qualities:
"Do not heed such a despicable type of person as is ready
with oaths, a slanderer, spreading calumnies, Habitually
hindering all good, transgressing beyond all bounds,
deep in sin, violent and cruel and with all that, base-
born. Though he may possess wealth and numerous
sons, when our revelations are recited to him, he cries
'Tales of the ancients'" (Surat Al-Qalam: 10-15)
