predicament in the corrupt social system they live in, but their efforts
are futile; they are digging themselves deeper and deeper into a rut.
This is all because these people in question have turned their
backs to the Qur’an. Because they do not live in the way that Allah,
our All-Mighty Creator, has commanded, they will never be able to
find peace of mind. As is stated in the Qur’an, “... Only in the re-
membrance of Allah can the heart find peace.” (Surat ar-Ra‘d, 28)
their hearts will never find ease, and they will never escape from their
anxiety and misery. They have fallen into this condition because they
chose a lifestyle that does not suit the purpose of their creation. If they
had lived a life pleasing to Allah, and kept to the moral precepts that
He has commanded, they would certainly have enjoyed the reward
that comes from living a good life. In the Qur’an, Allah has promised:
When those who fear Allah are asked, “What has your Lord
sent down?” their reply is, “Good!” There is good in the
world for those who do good, and the abode of the Hereafter
is even better. How wonderful is the abode of those who
guard against evil. (Surat an-Nahl, 30)
It is obvious that a person who lives by the morality Allah com-
mands in the Qur’an and makes her friends among righteous believ-
ers would not have had to live with such insecurity. They would have
been able to enjoy a society of individuals who are trustworthy, loyal,
honest and sincere, and would not have experienced the insecurity
and fears plaguing a society of ignorance. In a community where the
moral teachings of the Qur’an are adhered to, every believer is eager
to live a good moral life, and to receive the reward that comes from it.
Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer,
We will give them a good life and We will recompense them
