Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
Those who, if We establish them firmly on the earth, will
establish prayer and pay alms, and command what is
right and forbid what is wrong. The end result of all af-
fairs is with Allah. (Surat Al-Hajj: 41)
People who do not fear Allah, however, constantly seek
their own personal advantages and compete to acquire rank,
fame, possessions and property. That is why there is never any
true peace and happiness in the life of a society in which such
people are in charge.
Believers, on the other hand, always strive to discourage
evil under all circumstances, to encourage good behavior, to be
role models for other people and to "command" what is good.
And they never get weakened in these efforts. This unflinching
character of believers is described thus in the Qur'an:
Many a Prophet has been killed, when there were many
thousands with him! They did not give up in the face of
what assailed them in the Way of Allah, nor did they
weaken, nor did they yield. Allah loves the steadfast. All
they said was, 'Our Lord, forgive us our wrong actions
and any excesses we went to in what we did and make
our feet firm and help us against these kafir people.' So
Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best re-
ward of the hereafter. Allah loves good-doers. You who
have faith! if you obey those who are unbelievers, they
will turn you round on your heels and you will be trans-
formed into losers. (Surat Al 'Imran: 146-149)
