108 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

People Who Have Drifted from Religion Raise Cruel Offspring
Murders have recently risen higher on the world agenda because of
another saddening dimension, namely violence towards children by other
children. Recent school shootings by children clearly show the
vulnerability of children to cruelty. Their fresh minds and hearts are
deeply influenced by television programs and films full of violence of
unprecedented proportions. Especially, murder scenes, which dominate
some films, put many children at risk, making the dark side of disbelief
apparent.
What actually pushes young people into such a gloomy condition
and making them prone to cruelty is the existence of people astray from
the religion. These people do not have fear of Allah and, furthermore,
they raise cruel offspring having no fear of Allah. They instill in their
children wrong actions rather than mercy, compassion, justice and
wisdom, in brief, values of disbelief. The prayer of the Prophet Noah,
peace be upon him, mentioned in the Qur'an shows that all disbelievers
have similar cruel manners:
Noah said, 'My Lord! do not leave a single one of the
disbelievers on earth! If You leave any they will
misguide Your slaves and spawn nothing but
more dissolute disbelievers. My Lord!
forgive me and my parents and all who
enter my house as believers, and all the
men and women of the believers. But
do not increase the wrongdoers
except in ruin!' (Surat Nuh: 26-28)

These children, who are highly
influenced by films, are the
unavoidable consequence of
disbelieving societies.
