        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
