HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

incorporate the values of the Qur'an into his soul in such a
way that he may be able to consider the interests of other
parties before his own and maintain justice, even if this harms
his own interests.

You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah,
bearing witness with justice. Do not let hatred for a people
incite you into not being just. Be just. That is closer to
taqwa. Have taqwa of Allah. Allah is aware of what you
do. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 8)
As it is suggested in the above verse, Allah knows
everything a man does. A person who fears Allah and who is
aware that he will have to account for his deeds on the Day of
Judgment, issues his commands in a just way in order to earn
the good pleasure of Allah. He knows that all his words and
thoughts will be judged on the Day of Judgment and will be
rewarded accordingly.
For this reason, what one has to do to earn the good
pleasure of Allah, to be saved from the torment of Hell and to
attain the infinite favors of Paradise is to fully live by the
Qur'an. In order to attain this morality, everyone must make

personal efforts and set aside all his selfish desires and
personal interests and adopt the guidance of justice,
compassion, love and peace. Allah gives a detailed description
of true justice in the Qur'an and informs us that all sorts of
disagreements can be solved by the maintenance of justice. In
a society made up of righteous administrators and just people,
it is obvious that all problems can be readily overcome. In the
Qur'an, Allah gives a detailed description of justice and
informs believers of the attitude they have to adopt in the face
of incidents they encounter and of the ways to exercise justice.
