Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
The ideas that inspired the French Revolution and the
Declaration of Rights, that guided the framing of the
American Constitution and inflamed that struggle for
independence in the Latin American countries [and
elsewhere] were not inventions of the West. They find their
ultimate inspiration and source in the Holy Quran. 17
These extracts indicate how, down through the centuries,
Islamic morality has taught people about peace,
understanding and justice. Nowadays, nearly everyone is
seeking just such a model, and there is no reason why such a
culture should not come about once again. All that is needed
is people's desire to live by the morality of the Qur'an, starting
with themselves and later, making efforts to convey it to
others. When everyone, from the highest ranks to the very
lowest, begins to implement the morality commanded in the
Qur'an, they will become just, compassionate, understanding,
full of love, respectful and forgiving. That, in turn, will bring
peace to all of society.
The Muslim Should Use Soft Words
to Call People to the Morality of Islam
Every Muslim has a duty to call others to the morality of
Islam and to inform them of the existence of Allah and the
proofs of His creation. Allah Himself has revealed that
responsibility in the Qur'an "Let there be a community
among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and
forbid the wrong. They are the ones who have success."
