Page 35 - Those Who Exhaust All Their Pleasures In This Life

Adnan Oktar 33

In fact, their main source of anxiety comes from looking
at the problems without considering the Qur’an’s morality.
Their frustration is Allah’s “reward” for their stubborn unbe-
lief. They ignore His blessings and do not thank Him for
them, so He sends anxiety their way. If they were not con-
sumed with a passion for this world, if they appreciated
what they have and thanked Him for them, they would be
able to enjoy their possessions:
Let them laugh little and weep much, in repayment for
what they have earned. (Surat at-Tawba: 82)
But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will
be a dark and narrow one, and on the Day of
Resurrection We will gather him blind. (Surah Ta Ha:
124)
People do not feel anxious or weary when they follow
the Qur’an’s morality. However, the enjoyment derived
from doing something with worldly aims in mind is very lim-
ited and of short duration. When the benefits gained run
out, their eagerness to continue subsides and the aim
becomes regarded as a bother. But those who seek Allah’s
favor are rewarded with pleasure, for they know that they
will be rewarded for their intention and not for the nature of
the act. Therefore, they will never get bored with doing it:
Their [the sacrificial animals’] flesh and blood does not
reach Allah, but your heedfulness does. In this way He
has subjected them to you so that you might proclaim
Allah’s greatness for the way that He has guided you.
Give good news to those who do good. (Surat al-Hajj:
37)
