Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)                61


              So that, when he reaches Us, he says, "If only there was
              the distance of the two Easts between you and me!"
              What an evil companion! It will not benefit you today,
              since you did wrong, that you share equally in the pun-
              ishment. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 38-39)

              As the verses suggest, they hope to save themselves by
           blaming those who misled them from the right path.
           However, Allah granted a conscience to everyone so that
           he could be guided to the right path. Allah also endowed
           man a will to carry out his pertinent decisions. In this
           sense, man is provided with both of the two alternatives
           as well as the knowledge of right and wrong. This being

           his heart. Accordingly, those leading people to hell as
           well as those adhering to them will be justly punished.
           That day, nobody will bear responsibility for the sins of
           another.
              While these people tempted one another into commit-
           ting sins, it probably occurred to them many times that

           they would give an account of them in the hereafter, yet
           they chose to treat this matter as if it were an insignificant
           issue. They encouraged one another in denial of Allah,
           saying "I will bear responsibility for what you do." Satan,
           on the other hand, made tempting promises to them and
           misled them in the wrong way. But Allah, with the verse,
