Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 83

forget, once you remember, do not stay sitting with
the wrongdoers. (Surat al-An‘am; 68)

The main attribute of the members of ignorant societies is
their failure to appreciate Allah’s majesty and their heedless-
ness of Allah’s superior power. With an ill-favored arrogance
they unwisely derive from their unthinking state, unbelievers
speak against Allah and His religion. This may be in the form
of an explicit assault or merely implications or ignorant com-
ments about religion in general. In any case, it is obligatory for
a believer to leave that place if he is unable to rectify the sit-
uation. Remaining oblivious to it and staying on as a member
of such a group is unlawful for a believer.

PRAISING AND GLORIFYING
ALLAH AT SPECIFIED TIMES

Praising and glorifying Allah is an important part of a
believer’s life, saying that Allah is the only One Who is wor-
thy of glory and confirming that He is exalted above any
imperfection or fault. This is done both by the tongue and
heart. Allah states in the Qur’an that praising and exalting Him
are acts of worship performed by all Creation:
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in
them glorify Him. There is nothing which does not
glorify Him with praise, but you do not understand
their glorification. He is All-Forbearing, Ever-
Forgiving. (Surat al-Isra’; 44)
The thunder glorifies His praise, as do the angels,
out of fear of Him… (Surat ar-Ra‘d; 13)
