Page 89 - The Debased Culture of Superficiality

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar 87

Even if they do not know about something, superficial peo-
ple need to comment about it. They never say they don’t know
about a given subject. On the contrary, they make conjectures
about topics they know nothing about, people they don’t know
and things they’ve never experienced. They don’t think in
terms of the morality of the Qur’an and so, have no problem
pretending to know something they actually know nothing
about. Their egos find it hard to admit they do not know some-
thing, lest their image be ruined in the eyes of others. However,
in the Qur’an, Allah tells us that those who make false expla-
nations based on guesses and conjecture are unaware:
Death to the conjecturers: those who flounder in a glut of
ignorance. (Surat adh-Dhariyat: 10-11)
Elsewhere, Allah commands people not to argue about
matters they know nothing about:
[Say,] “You are people arguing about something of which
you have no knowledge. Why do you argue about some-
thing of which you have no knowledge? Allah knows;
you do not know.” (Surah Al ‘Imran: 66)
It is senseless to act as if one knew everything. No matter
how much a person knows, there are certainly things he does
not. But Almighty Allah, with His infinite knowledge and
intelligence, knows everything. So, even if a person knows
about many things, we must not forget that:
. . . Over everyone with knowledge is a Knower. (Surah
Yusuf: 76)
Allah tells us in the Qur’an that, no matter how knowl-
edgeable a person may be, this is not a reason to become
filled with pride; to be humble is more important.
