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.

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
