16 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

these events instead of calling people to the right conduct, and advising
them to keep their allegiance to their state and stay away from
rebelliousness. Meanwhile, some others appear with malice and hostility,
and, marching with slogans, stones and sticks, demonstrate another sort
of oppression and horror. However, their efforts are to no avail; they do
not advocate the values Allah has communicated, but demonstrate all
kinds of behavior not complying with the Qur'an. In one of His verses,
Allah describes that unbelievers' efforts in this world are wasted:

provided with the relevant evidence and guidance in replacing these
erroneous ideas with the true ones.
It is essential we tell aimless idle people, and those blindly attached to
erroneous ideas, about the Qur'an. Only then, can they see and
comprehend that this world is created for a significant purpose. In the
