P. 61
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:

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
