In the Name of Allah, The All-Merciful and Most Merciful
our Prophet’s (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
Sunnah as the only guides for their lives. Many people are
unaware of this truth and think that their lives will be more
comfortable if they disregard the Qur’an’s morality out of
concern that it will restrict their enjoyment of life’s pleasures.
However, such great errors and deceptions obscure the fact
that such morality is easy to follow, for Allah, Who created
humanity, is fully aware of what system of morality is best for
His creation. Actually, what is difficult is to live in a society
composed of individuals who do not know the boundaries
that Allah has set.
Various types of stress pervade societies that do not fol-
low the Qur’an’s morality: continual chaos, confusion, dis-
content, fear, unhappiness, and stress. Those who do not fear
and respect Allah know no limits and thus are prone to lives
characterized by immorality. They lead a degenerate life.
They do not give of themselves to others, offer no material or
spiritual support, and make a display of love and respect
without knowing what they really mean. For this reason,
apart from the kind of life Allah has revealed, people can nev-
er be happy.
For example, the frequent examples we encounter today
of drug use and trafficking, prostitution, bribery, and fraud is
related to the absence of the religion’s morality and the spiri-
tual values that go with it. Those who live such lives consid-
er themselves free and have the luxury of behaving as they
wish. However, such freedom will result in their material and
spiritual ruin.
