Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 69

invoke Allah's name, but this is deceptive, for there is no real faith,
respect, or fear of Allah in it:

Ask: "To whom does earth belong, and everyone in it, if you
have any knowledge?" They will say: "To Allah." Ask: "So will
you not pay heed?" Ask: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens
and the Lord of the Mighty Throne?" They will say: "Allah."
Ask: "So will you not fear Allah?" Ask: "In Whose hand is the
dominion over everything, He Who gives protection and from
Whom no protection can be given, if you have any
knowledge?" They will say: "Allah's." Ask: "So how have you
been bewitched?" The fact is that We have given them the truth
and they are liars. (Surat al-Muminun, 84-90)
These people's situation is an exceptional deterrent: They
answer every question correctly (for example, they affirm that
Allah has created everything), but their behavior is not consistent

with their affirmation. When they are asked to think carefully
about these things and warned to save themselves from the
deception in which they live, they clearly do not understand the
meaning of their answers.
The reason for this situation is very clear: These individuals do
not believe in the true religion, but rather in a false religion
characterized by its not being founded on sincere faith in, respect

for, and a genuine fear of Allah, and not putting Allah's approval
above all else. This absence of a sound foundation is an attempt to
preserve a few superstitious traditional beliefs and values passed
down from a people's ancestors. The individuals described in the
verses above have a belief in Allah, derived from their ancestral
religion, but cannot grasp the truth of His existence or conceive of
His attributes.
