Presently,it is very difficult to differentiate believers from unbelievers in terms of attitude.
The Holy Quran 25 : 44,therefore satisfies the curiosity of the just at the waywardness level of adherents of almost all religious bodies in the nation.
‘’Thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand ? Their holy like cattle,nay, they are farther astray from the way.’’
The Holy Quran 10 :36 further infers,’’Most of them follow nothing but conjecture : truly conjecture can be of no avail against Truth.Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.’’
In the present time several religious practices have been overwhelmed by false teachings and true riches as suggested in the Holy Bible, 1Timothy 6 :3–10, ‘’As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
The Holy Quran attests to the submissions above by warning in64 : 15–16,’’ Your riches and your children,but a trial :whereas Allah is with Him is the highest reward.So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey; and spend in charity for the benefit of your own souls and those saved from the covetousness of their own souls-they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
In the Holy Quran 2 : 45 the right approach recommended by true religious worship makes this assertion for people that want to get rich, most especially through the dignity of labor. ‘’Nay,seek Allah’s help with patience, perseverance and prayer :It is indeed hard except to those who are humble.’’
The restoration of true teaching and true riches must be based on been scripture compliant as adherents of all sects and denominations in all religious systems.
The Holy Quran 16 :125 refers,’’Invite all to the ways of the Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching(counseling);and argue(dialogue)with them in ways that are best(without hate speech) and most gracious(without holier than thou or air of arrogance and insult) : for thy Lord knowest best,who have strayed from His path and who receive guidance.’’
Therefore,let us avoid false teaching and the quick money making syndrome, but instead follow a righteous path of scripture compliance to have the fear of God for the purpose of restoring our core values of integrity,sanity and a well ordered society bequeath able as a legacy for posterity.
