Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)      61


            qualifications, do not deserve them. This is what the disbelieving system
            is based upon; it is not essential to be qualified in order to be assigned to
            a particular position. In these issues, the vested interests of some people
            become the driving forces in decision-making. However, in the Qur'an
            Allah commands the contrary:
               Allah commands you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are
               due; And when you judge between people, to judge with justice. How
               excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
               (Surat al-Nisa': 58)

               In a society where people do not live by the Qur'an and, accordingly,
            duties and responsibilities are not allocated on the basis of skills and
            qualifications, anyone who fills a vacant senior position primarily
            practices nepotism and cronyism. For politicians and parties alike, vested
            interests and political preferences always take precedence. Working for
            the public good is mere rhetoric for use during electoral campaigns while
            addressing the voters.
               They may work for the interests of circles they imagine will support
            their campaign, rather than meeting the needs of a poor village that has
            no water or electricity  supply or that has some other urgent
            requirements.  A lack of religious morality is responsible for this distorted
            understanding and this immorality. People, who do not conduct
            themselves responsibly and conscientiously, do not fear Allah. They do
            not show mercy to people and act fairly for the same reason. Feigning
            ignorance of the fact that they will give account for every deed they do in
            this life, they commit all forms of mischief and immorality. Thus, the duty
            of those who are committed to ending this misery and preparing a
            promising future is to adhere to the Qur'an and communicate it to people.
            It is the duty of all believers to inform people about the commands of
            Allah with respect to moral values, summon them to live by them and
            warn them against being wicked. Those ignoring this duty, or those
            postponing it, should fear that, in the hereafter, they may fail to give
            account for their insensitivity.
