HARUN YAHYA 153

inability to establish union on the grounds of differences of opin-
ion among them will lead to their strength being diminished in
this essential struggle. Under the current circumstances, it is vital
that they set aside their differences of opinion and join forces to

disseminate religious moral values.
In the Qur'an, God commands believers thus:
Obey God and His Messenger and do not quarrel among
yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disap-
pears. (Surat al-Anfal: 46)
God reveals that this is something that will weaken Muslims.
In another verse He commands:
Do not be like those who split up and differed after the
clear signs came to them. They will have a terrible punish-
ment. (Surah Al 'Imran: 105)

Failure to live according to the moral requirements com-
manded by God lies at the heart of some believers' inability to join
together in the intellectual struggle against atheism. This morali-
ty takes humility as its basis. Those who lose their humility in-
evitably regard themselves and their own ideas as being in the
right, and look down angrily on those who think differently.
Since they have absolutely no doubt that their own views are cor-
rect, they never doubt themselves—and thus never improve or
progress. They want only their own ideas to be heard, spread and
discussed. They fail to support others working towards the same
ends, and ignore their best endeavors. They tend to belittle others'
work and activities, and may even hinder them. However, the sit-

uation of those who have time for only their own interpretations
is noted in another verse of the Qur'an:
But they disagreed and split up, dividing into sects, each
party exulting in what it had. (Surat al-Muminun: 53)
