Page 2 - Commonly Disregarded Qur'anic Rulings

here are people who claim they have faith in Islam and are fairly
T acquainted with the Qur’an yet who readily disregard some of its
rulings. According to popular "religion," those violating the fun-
damental commandments may be plagued by pangs of con-
science, but neglect of those to which people attach little importance will
not cause such discomfort, although they are also part of the Qur’an.
The purpose of this book is to serve as a reminder to people who have
not realized their error or considered the penalty such an attitude will entail
and summon them to live by the true principles of Islam, for Allah declares
that man is responsible for all the commandments in the Qur’an, and warns
that those who do not pay heed to His commandments will face torment in
the Hereafter:
So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is
the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly
life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of pun-
ishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. (Surat al-Baqara; 85)

Abo ut the Aut hor
Adnan Oktar, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya, was
born in Ankara in 1956. Since the 1980s, the author has published
many books on faith-related, scientific and political issues. He is well-
known as the author of important works disclosing the imposture of
evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between
Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and communism.
All of the author’s works share one single goal: to convey the
Qur'an's message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-related issues such as Allah's
existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious systems' feeble foundations
and perverted ideologies. His more than 300 works, translated into 72 different languages,
enjoy a wide readership across the world.
By the will of Allah, the books of Harun Yahya will be a means through which people in the
twenty-first century will attain the peace, justice, and happiness promised in the Qur'an.
