Page 65 - Ever Thought About The Truth ?

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

vored so far, turns out to be a threat to his existence. He suddenly
sees that he himself has also joined the ranks of those who are de-
spised, oppressed, denigrated and excluded by this society that
lives far removed from religious moral values. The rules he
hoped would bear him up have now made him their target. The
friends around him suddenly disappear, and he is left unhappy
and alone.
As if those were not enough, he starts to become aware that
there are bigger fish swimming around him. He has nobody to
trust to, no branch to cling to and no one to extend a helping
hand. We are told in the Qur'an that when those who spurn reli-
gion are in a state of despair they turn to Allah:
It is the Who enables them to traverse the land and sea;
they embark and set sail with a favorable wind, at which
they rejoice; then comes a stormy wind and the waves
come to them from all sides, and they think they are
being overwhelmed: they pray to Allah, with all fervor
saying, 'If You deliver us from this, we shall truly show
our gratitude!'" (Surah Yunus: 22)
But as soon as Allah answers his prayers and he is freed
from the trouble that afflicted him, he carries on with his old
mindset, as if he was not the one who desperately asked for help:
"But when he delivers them, behold! They transgress in-
solently throughout the earth in defiance of right! O
mankind! Your insolence is against your own souls. Take
your enjoyment of the life of the present but in the end,
to Us you shall return, and We shall show you the truth
of all that you did." (Surah Yunus: 23)
