96 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

"Allah does not wrong people in any way; rather it is people who wrong
themselves." (Surah Yunus: 44)
Those tempting young people into using drugs show another aspect of
the effects of disbelief. Drug dealers, who have entirely lost values such
as conscience, compassion, mercy and pity, strive to attract more young
people just in order to earn more. For instance, in some countries such as
Latin America or Russia, drug smuggling for commercial gain is among
the most profitable activities. By and large, the State in these countries
controls the drug trade or allows networks involved in the drug trade to
keep working. If, at least, one of these parties were faithful and had belief
in Allah and the hereafter, the world would be rid of such a problem. If,
due to fear of Allah, nobody got involved in drugs in any form – neither
trading with them nor using them – this problem would end forever.
Today, initiatives against illegal drug dealing and drug use fail to
provide lasting solutions. For instance, if addicts lacking the will to
overcome addiction are treated in hospital, they soon return to their
former habits. In jail, members of drug networks continue to traffic in
illegal drugs internationally. The only way to rescue a drug addict, on the
other hand, is to give him strong willpower. Only the true religion
provides man with unshakeable willpower. Even disbelievers who
demonstrate strong willpower have a passion for something, a factor
making them weak. Only the fear of Allah and of torment in the Fire
provides the sort of willpower no one and nothing can overcome.

Some Shameful but Widespread Acts: Prostitution,
Adultery and Homosexuality
Prostitution, as a way of earning a living, is rapidly becoming
widespread. With each passing year, the average age of young prostitutes
decreases. Even their own families force very young girls and boys to sell
their bodies. At an age when they still need protection and care, that
children are pushed into such repulsive areas should alarm the countries
of the world enough so that they protect them from such damage. On the
contrary, however, countries like The Philippines are promoted as
