Page 17 - Commonly Disregarded Qur'anic Rulings

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 15

Such heedlessness is the major basis underlying all sorts of
attitudes that deviate from the morals of the Qur’an. One
who loses his sensitivity toward the commands of Allah in the
Qur’an may commit such unbecoming errors that once he is

made aware of them, even he himself is amazed. Such mis-
takes should remind him of the importance of keeping one’s
mind occupied with remembering Allah. The frequency and
gravity of anyone’s sins and errors is in direct proportion to
one’s heedlessness. Continued negligence in remembering
Allah seriously threatens one’s faith.
On the other hand, keeping the mind occupied with the
remembrance of Allah and reflecting upon the verses in the
Qur’an provides one with consciousness and wisdom and
makes one meticulous in complying with Allah’s commands
and prohibitions. A person who remembers Allah continually
is more aware of his own weaknesses and realizes that he has
no power except through Allah. Subsequently, he constantly
prays to Allah, asks for His help, depends upon Him and sub-
mits himself to Him alone. Never does he consider himself
independent of Allah, and thus he never becomes arrogant.

His behavior, attitudes and words come under Allah’s pro-
tection; Allah inspires him with how to conduct himself at
every moment. He grants him “a light by which to walk”
(Surat al-Hadid; 28) and helps him attain moral perfection.
In contrast, failure in remembering Allah leaves a man
alone and helpless, diminishing his ability to reason and judge.
He will fail at his tasks, since no one can manage without
Allah’s help. He cannot cope with any problem by his own will
