Page 19 - Unawareness: A Sly Threat

Harun Yahya 17

We created many of the jinn and humanity for Hell. They
have hearts with which they do not understand, eyes
with which they do not see, and ears with which they do
not hear. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even
further astray! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A‘raf:
179)
As we see, deniers ignore the promised eternal punish-
ment. Moreover, they are described in the Qur’an as being
lower than animals, because they have been engulfed by
unawareness. In other words, they are happy only when eat-
ing, drinking, and enjoying themselves, for they focus only on
this world and are content to remain unaware of what is real-
ly important:
They know an outward aspect of this world’s life, but are
heedless of the Hereafter. (Surat ar-Rum: 7)
Such people think only of this worldly life, even though
Allah has sent prophets and messengers, as well as holy
books and believers, throughout history to warn them of the
Day of Judgment, when they will have to account for them-
selves. They have been reminded of their sins and that these
will not be forgotten on that day. They have heard what will
happen to them if they do not obey Allah’s commands and
prohibitions, continue to ignore His advice, and do not repent
of their wicked and corrupt lives: they will be rewarded with
Hell’s endless punishment. The only way to avoid all these is
to heed His warnings and correct their attitudes, live in a way
that earns His pleasure so that they will not disgrace them-
selves on the Day of Judgment. However, only some of them
will listen:
