They are the ones who have success. (Surah Al
                 'Imran: 104)
                 In one verse Allah commands us to "Call to the way of
             your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition..." (Surat an-
             Nahl: 125). Calling to the religion of Allah is done by means
             of spreading the commands of the Qur'an with "wisdom and
             fair admonition". During this communication process, topics
             such as the existence and unity of Allah, and His matchless
             perfection in creation are explained so that the respect, love
             and fear that the person who is invited to religion has for
             Allah are enhanced. How a right acting person should react
             to events is described in detail. The nature of man's existence
             in this world is that he is tried here, that death is near, that
             he will be judged after death, and that he will either enter
             Paradise or Hell according to this judgement. All of this is
             also explained by showing how Allah has prepared the Gar-
             den and the Fire with His infinite justice, it is ensured that
             the listener will strive to avoid coming to an evil end. If peo-
             ple who learn about Allah, the Qur'an and the Hereafter
             through these descriptions act according to their con-
             sciences, then they will try to fulfil the commands of Allah
             to the best of their ability.

                65. How can one think deeply in daily life?

                 Man thinks about so many things during the flow of
             daily life. For example, he may think about the things to be
             done on that day, where to go, the pleasant or the unpleas-
             ant things said about him, what he has done or will do at his
             job or school, or about long term plans. Many such thoughts
             may keep one's mind busy during the day. These are surely
             necessary thoughts, yet they should occupy the person only
