112 KNOWING THE TRUTH

in Surat al-Kahf:
Say: 'Shall I inform you of the greatest losers in their actions?
Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they
thought that they suppose that they are doing good.' (Surat al-
Kahf: 103-104)

AHMED: I now understand that I must review my whole life and
submit to Allah.

AISHA: I'll never be the same either after what I have learned. As
Murad said, I'm beginning a new life. I'll spend my life with these things in
mind. Because there's no power other than Allah, I'll begin to learn about
Him, to draw close to Him and act according to His will. Of course, to do
this I'll buy a Qur'an right away and learn what Allah's will is for me.

IBRAHIM: We all have the same idea. In these three days, my whole
world and plans have all changed. Since I'm teaching at the university, I
feel a particularly big responsibility. It's become an important matter of
conscience for me to deepen what I've learned and to explain it to those
who don't know about it.

MURAD: Friends, remember that in the past three days we've
spoken about some very important truths. It may appear that it was I who
was explaining these truths to you. But actually, I was also listening with
you. No one has the ability to talk or to think on his own. We speak and
think those things that Allah has fixed in our fate. In these conversations
Allah has spoken and reminded us of His own power. In the light of this,
we must all ask His help and pray like the Prophet Solomon (peace be
upon him) prayed as the verses inform us, 'Keep me acting rightly,
pleasing You, and admit me, by Your mercy, among Your honorable
servants.' (Surat an-Naml: 19)
