Page 83 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan
P. 83
Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 81
value structure was most apparent in the attitude of believers towards
those who left their homes for Allah's cause:
Those who were already settled in the abode, and in faith, before they came,
love those who have left their homes in the Way of Allah and do not find in
their hearts any need for what they have been given and prefer them to
themselves even if they themselves are needy. It is the people who are safe-
guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful. (Surat al-
Hashr: 9)
It is for the poor fugitives (muhajirun) who were driven from their homes
and wealth desiring the favor and the pleasure of Allah and supporting Allah
and His Messenger. Such people are the truly sincere. (Surat al Hashr: 8)
As is obvious from the verses, the values depicted in the Qur'an are far
removed from those experienced today. In the Qur'an, a request for help
is always responded to with a generosity and benevolence. Believers
render the most thorough help to those in need. While giving assistance
to the needy, the Qur'an demands that the provider not display any moral
weakness such as expressing his own needs or to setting his eye on the aid
provided. These values will bring solutions to many problems.
The values of the Qur'an and the Sunnah lay the
foundation of a totally different social structure. In this
structure, the rights of the poor and of those forced from
their homes are protected. All means are used to
prepare better conditions for them and to
lessen their pain. For this cause, people
do not avoid making sacrifices.
