Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they dis-
figure their faces to show men they are fasting.. (Matthew, 6: 16)
Various passages in the Torah condemn those who pray to
impress others and reveal that such people do not live by the
morality they preach and thus are bent on evil. The situation of
those who pretend to be close to Allah while their hearts do not
appreciate Him appropriately are described, as follows:

You are always on their lips, but far from their hearts. (Jeremiah, 12:
2)
Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished
from among men. Everyone lies to his neighbor;
their flattering lips speak with deception. (Psalm, 12: 1-2)

The Importance of Love in the Morality

of Religion

And [We gave John] tenderness and purity from Us – he
guarded against evil. (Surah Maryam: 13)

As for those who believe and do right actions, the All-
Merciful will bestow His love on them. (Surah Maryam: 96)

The Torah

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your
neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor
and a good name in the sight of God and man. (Proverbs, 3: 3-4)
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all wrongs. (Proverbs,
10: 12)
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love...
(Hosea, 10: 12)
