Page 11 - Character Types of the Unbelievers

FOREWORD

This book gives an account of various character types and the as-
pects of these characters that are incompatible with the Qur’an.
However in reading the book, one should keep the following issue in

mind: The descriptions and definitions in this book surely do not in-
clude every member of that specific community. Just as every stratum,
professional group and community has good-intentioned, prudent and
scrupulous people, there may also be people displaying bad morals and
attitudes. What is dealt with in this book are the wicked behaviors and
attributes of people who do not live by the morality of the Qur’an.
Besides one should keep in mind that every individual has the opportu-
nity to abandon the wicked deeds in which he has engaged throughout
his life. A person who sincerely gives up engaging in wicked deeds,

heartily submits himself to Allah and decides to live by the morality of
the Qur’an will, by Allah’s leave, find Allah to be forgiving and merci-
ful. Indeed, one of the goals of this book is to be instrumental in making
people recognize the vices of their situation, abandon these attitudes
and turn towards the morality of the Qur’an.
