Page 31 - Unawareness: A Sly Threat

Harun Yahya 29

The mind is one of Allah’s greatest gifts to humanity.
Rational people always act according to their consciences;
properly appreciate His knowledge and power; and love, fear,
and respect Him. They do their best to please Him, to save
themselves from Hell’s eternal punishment, and are eager to
attain the Hereafter’s endless blessings. In addition, they pon-
der deeply on Allah’s creation and appreciate His endless
power and greatness, In other words they are believers.
Those irrational individuals who do not have this ability are
described in the Qur’an:
Have they not traveled throughout the land, and do they
not have with which hearts to understand or ears with
which to hear? It is not their eyes that are blind, but the
hearts in their breasts that are blind. (Surat al-Hajj: 46)
The most distinguishing feature of these irrational people
is their preference for the life of this world, to which they are
so passionately devoted, over that of the Hereafter. And yet
Allah warns such people to reflect on this world’s true nature:
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diver-
sion. The Hereafter is better for those who guard against
evil. So will you not use your intellect? (Surat al-An‘am: 32)
Anything you have been given is only the enjoyment of
the life of this world and its finery. What is with Allah is
better and longer lasting. So will you not use your intel-
lect? (Surat al-Qasas: 60)
We have sent down to you a Book containing a
Reminder for you. So will you not use your intellect?
(Surat al-Anbiya’: 10)
