Page 59 - The Solution To Secret Sorrows

Harun Yahya

Him, but He forgives whoever He wills for anything other
than that. Anyone who associates something with Allah
has committed a terrible crime. (Surat an-Nisa': 48)
Everybody should take a warning from this important truth
which Allah reveals to us in the verse:
That is part of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you.
Do not set up another deity together with Allah and so be
thrown into Hell, blamed and driven out. (Surat al-Isra': 39)

Conclusion
In this section, you have seen the various reasons behind the se-
cret sorrows that people suffer. In times of trouble, true faith never
creates feelings of distress or hopelessness. If a person succumbs to
such feelings, he first needs to reconsider his faith and remind him-
self of the verses of the Qur'an and of the facts in the light of the
Qur'an. Otherwise, no matter how much one claims to have faith in
Allah, he will definitely suffer unless he lives as faith requires and
regulates his life and attitudes according to the verses of the Qur'an.
As Allah tells us, the hearts of those who do not live by the religion
are always troubled:
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his
breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He
makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were
climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those
who have no faith. (Surat al-An'am: 125)
