84 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

Allah, in the Qur'an, stresses that those having no faith in the hereafter
and the Day of Judgment see no limits to committing wrong actions:
Woe that Day to the deniers: those who deny the Day of Reckoning. No one
denies it except for every evil aggressor. (Surat al-Mutaffifin: 10-12)
These people, who have drifted from the true religion, aspire to
possess more and they instill this ambition into the minds of others
around them, predisposing them to disobey the limits of Allah.
We are living in a time when those who have entirely abandoned
religious values are in the majority. Not content with what they
personally do, these people are also willing to cause others to drift along
this dark path. This is the time when all forms of immorality are being
revitalized: not seeing any limits in committing wrong actions, violent
aggression, spiritual idleness, moral degradation, prostitution, inciting to
"avarice" as in the words of one verse, perverted sexual orientations, drug
addiction, gambling… In the following pages, we will dwell on the
dimensions of moral degradation consequential to disbelief.

Indoctrination of Immorality
A disbelieving person as well as a person who has poor faith in Allah
and the hereafter readily commits fornication, gambling or theft deeds
Allah made unlawful. Disbelief actually lays the basis of this inclination.

This rationale maintains that human beings came into existence as a result
of chance and that thus man does not have to feel responsible toward his
Creator. The theory of evolution, which ideologically nurtures disbelief,
holds human beings to be nothing more than a developed form of animal.
In this sense, nothing should be a matter of concern for us, except meeting
our own needs. As for meeting the desires of the wicked side of his soul,
we do not have to observe any limits; we can act just like animals. In brief,
such philosophies, which do not contain any spiritual dimension, utterly
fail to recognize moral values.
Indeed, renowned materialists and advocates of Darwinism clearly
express how disbelief sees moral values. William Provine, a professor
from Cornell University, explains how materialism assesses morality:
