Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)      59


               Whenever he holds the upper hand, he goes about the earth corrupting it,
               destroying (people's) crops and breeding stock. Allah does not love
               corruption. (Surat al-Baqara: 205)
               It is of no avail to expect any change in the aforementioned human
            characteristics as long as people do not adhere to the Qur’an. However, in
            a country where people have fear of Allah and where conscience rules,
            miscarriages of justice and abuses of power are not allowed. The
            problems of people are diagnosed and treated properly and services work
            effectively. The rewards for public service rendered only to earn the good
            pleasure of Allah, the help extended only for His sake, are expected not in
            this world, but in the hereafter. Throughout history, Allah communicated
            the divine message to people through His messengers. These messengers
            only invited them to the religion of truth. However, the reactions of
            people to these messengers were disbelief and they often suspected
            hidden purposes behind their sincere efforts. The answers of the
            messengers to the disbelieving people were the same:

               Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for it, nor am I a man of false
               pretensions.' (Surah Sad: 86)
               My people! I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the
               responsibility of Him Who brought me into being. So will you not use your
               intellect? (Surah Hud: 51)
               Those having faith in Allah follow the example of such conduct, which
            is praised in the Qur'an. They expect no worldly gain in any form in
            return for services and aid. In the political life of disbelieving societies,
            however, political issues, both domestic  and foreign, and personal/party
            interests are intimately linked. This being the case, political life has its fair
            share of rogues apt to take decisions contrary to the public or national
            interest. The methods employed to ensure these circles' support are public
            investments serving the best interests of particular interest groups,
            making  credits available for them or simply ignoring corruption or fraud.
            The lobbying incorporated into the political system in the United States
            best explains how the system works. Huge sums of undisclosed
            donations are made to finance the election campaigns of candidates. The
