Page 19 - Those Who Exhaust All Their Pleasures In This Life

Adnan Oktar 17

People who do not follow the Qur’an’s morality also worry
about meeting people who are spiritually and materially
superior to them. The fact that some people are richer,
more attractive, more successful, more intelligent, and
have a wider social circle than they do plunges them into a
deep depression.
So, this wrong-headed way of thinking explains why
those who deny Allah are in a life-long search and cannot
be content with what they have. Their desires make their
lives difficult, for they cannot properly appreciate or enjoy
what they have. Believing that all blessings will end with
death, they consume and use up their beautiful things one
by one. Beauty, youth, and health are all transitory for
them, and their ego’s fierce desires make them unhappy
with what they possess. And so they live in misery in both
worlds:
They ask: “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are
telling the truth?” Say: “It may well be that some of
what you are anxious to hasten is right on your heels.”
(Surat an-Naml: 71-72)
Part of this misery is that these people live in a sort of
Hell in this world, although they are surrounded by beauty
and opportunity. Many people exist in this spiritual condi-
tion, and thus find that their level of anxiety, depression,
stress, and psychological problems continue to increase.
Those who constantly complain, saying: “I don’t know why
I feel so anxious,” “I’m so bored,” “I’m fed up with this life,”
or “I don’t feel like doing anything” must see that their spir-
itual condition needs to change. They must ask themselves
