Page 67 - Those Who Exhaust All Their Pleasures In This Life

Adnan Oktar 65

advises believers to be compassionate, giving, respectful
toward the homeless, the poor, prisoners, parents, and
orphans. And so sincere believers do their best to respect
the elderly and be patient when their parents become
needy and weakened by age. In the Qur’an, Allah reveals
these commands to believers:
Your Lord has decreed that you should worship none
but Him, and that you should show kindness to your
parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age
with you, do not say “Ugh!” to them out of irritation
and do not be harsh with them, but speak to them with
gentleness and generosity. (Surat al-Isra’: 23)

Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him.
Be good to your parents and relatives, to orphans and
the very poor, to neighbors who are related to you and
neighbors who are not related to you, and to compan-
ions, travelers, and your slaves. Allah does not love
anyone who is vain or boastful. (Surat al-Nisa’: 36)

They can never know the joys of friendship

Everyone is always looking for a good friend, someone
with whom to share happiness, who will be a support in
difficult times, and help find answers to difficult problems.
Everyone wants to find someone who will offer uncondi-
tional love, loyalty, concern, understanding, and comfort
during times of illness and in old age. But because such
people are hard to find, most people are content to find
just one good friend.
