MAN AND RELIGION



 

power, etc.. The whole life, by this continual journeying towards Allah, coincides with the values of truthfulness, righteousness and perfection which are the attributes of Allah the Glorious, worshipped by man. .

   There is still another spiritual fact which religion cultivates in man's conscience, implanting it deep inside him. It is the sense of responsibility and willingly undertaking it, affected by his conscious connection with Allah, the Exalted. The person who believes in Allah feels he is being watched by Him and fears Him. So, he acts knowing that Allah is with him, watches him, and nothing is concealed from Him, whether in the heavens or in the earth:

   "And those who disbelieve say: The hour shall not come upon us.

Say: Yea! My Lord, the Knower of the unseen, it shall certainly come upon you; not the wig/it of an atom becomes absent from Him, in the heavens or at the earth, and neither less than that nor greater, but (all) is at a clear book "

Holy Qur'an (3.4:3)

   "He knows the stealthy looks and that which the breasts conceal."

Holy Qur'an (40:19)

   This awareness and the true faith is sufficient to urge man to perform his duty and to undertake his human responsibility in every phase of life, legal; devotional or ethical.

   The Qur'an rears up this spirit of responsibility in its followers and believers, and stresses its cultivation and development through many texts and concepts:
