48 THE DEBASED CULTURE OF SUPERFICIALITY
and the believers . . . (Surat al-Munafiqun: 8)
For this reason, a faithful Muslim would never support
this kind of moral behavior, even if it meant losing all the
advantages and means at his disposal. He feels no need to
conform to the situation and conditions he lives in. On the
contrary, he does his best to create circumstances that will be
pleasing to Allah. In return for this faithful and honorable
character, Allah will reward devout Muslims both in this
world and the Hereafter:
Those who believe and migrate and strive in the way of
Allah with their wealth and themselves have a higher
rank with Allah. They are the ones who are victorious.
Their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and
good pleasure and Gardens where they will enjoy ever-
lasting delight, remaining in them timelessly, forever
and ever. Truly there is an immense reward with Allah.
(Surat at-Tawba: 20-22)
