Page 147 - The Nightmare of Disbelief
P. 147
The hunger, poverty, killing and violence all over the world have their roots
in a rationale that considers all these evils "normal" or "inevitable." This ra-
tionale permits the murder of poor women and children because they hap-
pen to belong to another race, or leaving them to starve while others lead
lives of luxury. All these things happen because that rationale regards them
as a "rule of this life." Yet this violence is not "the rule of life" but a "rule of
unbelief." When people live by the values of the Qur'an, all these problems
will disappear for good, and mercy and justice will pervade the world.
