Claim 10 and Its Refutation
Yet another claim is a great deception: "Waiting for
Jesus (pbuh) will lead the faithful into idleness." This claim
is unacceptable to both reason and conscience. Throughout
history, people have sought saviors from Allah at times
when immorality was widespread and cruelty and injustice
were on the increase. They prayed to Allah to send them a
messenger to lead them out of the darkness and into the
light. When Allah answers their prayers and sends messen-
gers, sincere believers support and defend them:
Those who believe in him, honor and help him, and follow
the Light that has been sent down with him, they are the

ones who are successful. (Surat al-A'raf:157)
In fact, Allah's sending of a messenger represents a
major source of enthusiasm for true believers, for they
know that they need to make the best and finest prepara-
tions in order to prepare the environment for him. People
exert great effort to prepare themselves and their environ-
ments, based upon their joy and love of belief, for this great
event. Idleness and apathy, on the other hand, are charac-
teristics of hypocrites and people of weak faith. Those
whose faith is weak do not fully believe in the messenger's

coming, and when that individual comes, they do not obey
him sincerely. History shows many examples of this. For
