Page 63 - Devoted to Allah

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

These laws apply to almost all societies where people
do not experience true faith but behave according to the
mistaken morality described above. In the Qur’an, these
societies are called “ignorant,” because they are entirely
unaware of Allah and the Hereafter.
In the Qur’an, it is stated that the Prophet Moses (as)
described some of the sons of Israel, a tribe that never ex-
ercised wisdom or submitted themselves to Allah, as ig-
norant:
We led the tribe of Israel across the sea and they came
upon some people who were devoting themselves to
some idols which they had. They said, “Moses, give us
a god just as these people have gods.” He said, “You
are indeed an ignorant people.
What these people are doing is destined for destruc-
tion. What they are doing is purposeless.” He said,
“Should I seek something other than Allah as a deity
for you when He has favored you over all other be-
ings?” (Surat al-A‘raf: 138-140)
However, as mentioned earlier, “the society of igno-
rance” is not of a uniform nature. Though generally called
“ignorant,” there may be different sections in a given so-
ciety, all displaying varying characteristics. The society is
commonly segmented according to the degree they have
attained ineffective criteria—economic power being the
foremost—set by the society itself.
