Harun Yahya-Adnan Oktar
highly of themselves in their situation. They think it to be themselves
who heal people, not realizing that they are only the means. However,
if they were themselves sick, they would not able to cure themselves,
and therefore should recognize that they cannot prevent illness from
themselves. However, majority of them are obstinate in this false be-
lief. In the Qur’an, Allah tells us that no one other than He has the
power to cause good or harm.

If you ask them, “Who created the heavens and the Earth?”
they will say, “Allah.” Say: “So what do you think? If Allah
desires harm for me, can those you call upon besides Allah re-
move His harm? Or if He desires mercy for me, can they with-
hold His mercy?” Say: “Allah is enough for me. All those who
truly trust put their trust in Him.” (Surat az-Zumar, 38)
Allah has revealed to us that we should trust only in Him. As dis-

cussed earlier, from the Prophet Ibrahim’s (as) prayer related in the
Qur’an, believers should learn to trust only in Allah and look for assis-
tance from Him alone. They sincerely believe that Allah ordains both
good and harm and, apart from Him, there is no other power that can
prevent such things from happening. They do not forget that Allah
created every cure, as well as all doctors and nurses in the world, as
the means for healing people.

The Character of Merchants
A large number of individuals in society are grouped under the
heading of merchants. This group includes a wide spectrum of occu-
pations, from shopkeepers to small businesses and street vendors. In
the societies where people abide by the morality of ignorance, people

who are called as merchants share some common features like many
other groups of professions.
