Harun Yahya-Adnan Oktar
        how many patients a doctor has treated, whether or not he knew his
        medical terms well enough or what title he earned; he will be asked
        what he did to earn Allah’s favor. In societies divorced from the moral-
        ity of religion, most doctors are not aware of these realities because they

        are living under the strong influence of ideas instilled in their minds by
        the ignorant society they live in. It is very important for them to win so-
        ciety’s approval and be respected in its eyes.
             Every deed done in accordance with the teaching of the Qur’an is
        directed towards winning Allah’s approval and, no matter what their
        profession may be,believers exhibit high moral standards. Believers are
        the best supporters and helpers of those in their community who are

        sick, weak and helpless. This behavior comes from their adherence to
        the Qur’an and their unwavering dedication to the morality that Allah
        has commanded. A person who embraces the Qur’an knows that med-
        ical knowledge can only be gained by the will of Allah and that He has
        created everything that brings healing. He sees clearly that, if it were
        not according to Allah’s will, he would not do what he does or know
        what he knows. He never forgets that he may become ill at any time and
        that, if that happened, he would have no helper or healer other than
        Allah.

             The prayer of the Prophet Ibrahim (as) related in the Qur’an in this
        regard is a fine example of the high moral standards that everyone
        should take as an example:
             He Who created me and guides me;
             He Who gives me food and gives me drink;
             and when I am ill, it is He Who heals me;
             He Who will cause my death, then give me life;

             He Who I sincerely hope will forgive my mistakes on the Day
             of Reckoning. (Surat ash-Shu‘ara’, 78-82)
