Harun Yahya-Adnan Oktar
questioning, that is the life they will choose.
Certainly, it is not a blameworthy thing for a person to be inter-
ested in their home. But it is erroneous to confine one’s entire world
only within four walls, and to forget her real purpose of life which is re-

vealed in the Qur’an. Indeed, these people limit their thoughts to the lo-
cation in which they reside and start to live in this small world. They
have small targets, small aims, small expectations and small calcula-
tions. They possess a kind of character far removed from that of believ-
ers described in the Qur’an who fulfill their duties as servants to Allah
in the best form possible, aim to display best of the attitudes and con-
duct hoping to earn Allah’s good pleasure, constantly turn to Allah and

remember the abode of the Hereafter.
In the society of ignorance, however, the most important issues oc-
cupying the mind of a typical housewife are herself, her family, kids
and future plans. In a middle-income family these plans include own-
ing a flat and thus ceasing to be a tenant, covering monthly electricity
and water bills or kids’ school payments, being able to possess a car one
day or renewing furniture. The goals of a housewife with better living
conditions are no better than the ones cited above. Her plans are like-
wise made upon her home, family and kids. What makes her life mean-

ingful is to be able to boast about the beauty of her house, the quality of
education her kids get or the new car her husband has purchased.
It deserves mention here to say that all the deeds cited above are
surely requisite, but the error of ignorant women here is not setting
ideals for themselves beyond these few ordinary pleasures. If their lives
were established on higher spiritual ideals, even if they lived in the
same conditions, they would not be content to be confined to such an

identity. The best example of this can be the pious woman.
