            and Earth: "Our Lord, You have not created this for noth-
            ing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punish-
            ment of the Fire." (Surah Al 'Imran, 191)
            We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance
            of the Abode. (Surah Sâd, 46)
            People who have no faith may not be able to understand such
         a noble morality, submission to Allah and deep faith. According
         to their materialistic and false point of view, since death is a dis-
         appearance once and for all, one needs to make the most of this
         life. For those people who nurture such a distorted outlook,
         every moment that does not bring them pleasure is a loss.
            On the other hand, some people who claim to have faith but
         has not comprehended what deep faith is,  may also claim falsely
         that religion covers only a minor part of life. According to the
         false point of view of these people, it is not possible for a person
         to seek the approval of Allah in every minute of his life. These
         people spread their distorted ideas and try to guide people to a
         weak and superficial faith.
            Allah warns believers against the lies of such people:
            Among the people is someone whose words about the life
            of the world excite your admiration, and he calls Allah to
            witness what is in his heart, while he is in fact the most
            hostile of adversaries. (Surat al-Baqara, 204)
            These people's corrupted outlook on life manifests itself in
         such ignorant phrases as "Religion is important, but it should be
         limited to certain aspects of life" or "Do not ponder deeply about
         religion, or you may lose your mind." They  turn their faces and
         act arrogantly when reminded of the Qur'an's morality. Allah
         explains the situation of such people, as follows:
            But there are some people who trade in distracting tales
            to guide people away from Allah's Way, knowing noth-


                                                                      21
