THE RELIGION OF THE IGNORANT

tant goal in life. Girls regulate their weight, clothes, education, tastes
and acquaintances in the hope of an advantageous marriage. A
great many girls go to university to "find a husband," because an ed-
ucated husband, especially a successful one, is seen as a guarantee
in life. In her dreams, a young girl establishes a model husband who
will maintain, protect and watch over her, and so spends her youth
looking for him. The fact is, however, as revealed in the Qur'an, that
it is Allah, and Him only Who feeds and protects people, and Who is
worthy of one's hopes of assistance.
Within this logic, marriage ceases to be a legitimate manner of
expressing love between two people and turns into an institution—
by which name it is often referred to. The lovelessness, lack of re-
spect and behavioral defects that soon arise give couples the feeling
that they have made a mistake. Yet unless they turn to Allah and act
in compliance with the morality of the Qur'an, there is now gener-
ally no turning back. Even if there were, that would be no solution.
Just like marriage itself, divorce will take place according to the re-
quirements of Ignorantism, and the life that follows will be led ac-
cording to those same requirements.
If an error is to be found, it needs to sought not in isolated
events, but in the false philosophy underneath them, on which the
entire distorted system is erected, and which leads people to unhap-
piness, disappointment and loss in every situation—in other words,
in the Religion of the Ignorant itself.
