Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
performing daily prayers five times a day and other religious ob-
servances, but overarches all aspects of life and also death. A
Muslim is one who spends all of his life serving in the way of
Allah. As a reward of this, he will be rewarded with the approval
of Allah, His mercy and eternal paradise.
On the other hand, leading one's life to attain ends other
than Allah's favor, is the same as "ascribing partners to Him", or
in other words, "setting up partners with Him" as Allah reveals
in the Qur'an. Throughout the ages, the prophets have urged
people to stop attributing partners to Allah. According to the
Qur'an, all societies of ignorance, have attributed partners to
Allah. Consequently, today, a great part of the world population
consists of the followers of a religion based on polytheism. In this
world, it is exclusively the societies of true believers who live by
the true religion by worshipping only Allah. All that believers
say, as revealed in a verse, is as follows;
The only thing a believer must declare is: "Men! If you
are in doubt as to my religion, behold! I do not worship
what you worship, other than Allah! I worship Allah –
Who will take your souls at the time of your death: I am
commanded to be in the ranks of the believers.'" (Surah
Yunus: 104)
Then, how should the believer worship Allah? How should
he spend his life that solely consists of performing this holy
duty? Should he act according to the common belief held in ig-
norant societies and go to spend all his life undergoing severe
suffering? Should he adopt a motionless, stable way of life as a
withdrawn person?
