Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 73

He said, ‘By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in
ambush for them on Your straight path. Then I will
come at them, from in front of them and behind
them, from their right and from their left. You will
not find most of them thankful.’ (Surat al-A’raf; 16-
17)
As Allah makes clear in the Qur’an, satan’s efforts revolve
around this goal; keeping man from giving thanks to Allah.
And his plan has indeed proven successful on many occasions:

... Allah shows favor to mankind but most of them
are not thankful. (Surah Yunus; 60)
In the Qur’an, Allah reveals satan’s expression of his
explicit will to approach man from this direction and thus
makes clear the importance of gratitude to Allah as an aspect
of worship. No doubt, abandoning it is sinful in the Sight of
Allah:
And when your Lord announced: ‘If you are grateful, I
will certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrate-
ful, My punishment is severe.’ (Surah Ibrahim; 7)

ASKING ALLAH FOR FORGIVENESS

In the Qur’an, Allah reveals:
If Allah were to punish people for their wrong
actions, not a single creature would be left upon the
earth, but He defers them till a predetermined time.
When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay
it for a single hour nor can they bring it forward.
(Surat an-Nahl; 61)
