Criticism - Morality Of The Qur'An And Deep Thinking - Adnan Oktar - Harun Yahya - Harun Yahya

HARUN YAHYA

Unity of society is important. There is bound to be opposition, there should be an environment in which everyone would be able to voice their criticisms and the other side should be allowed to respond to these criticisms; all these are perfectly natural. But striving to prevent any damage on the spirit of brotherhood during such difficult times of Turkey is of crucial importance. That is why we need to keep the language used as calm as possible and be even-tempered.

If there is anything wrong we have done, they can warn us giving references from the Qur’an. We are not doing any act that is deemed unlawful in the Qur’an and we would never do. Since those who criticize us are also aware of this fact, they are unable to say that this is unlawful according to the Qur’an, they merely say this is unlawful in my opinion. We abide by the Qur’an not anyone’s own convictions. We would heed the advice the moment we are warned with the verses of the Qur’an. We are positive people. We accept and embrace what is right the moment we see it. But they fail to bring us any evidence from the Qur’an.

Muslims criticize themselves every single day. Not wasting time, searching for the act that would bring them the good pleasure of God the most and for the right course of action, avoiding wastage, say the most appropriate things… these are subjects Muslims should always think about.

I live my life the way I understand from the Qur’an. While making a criticism to a believer one should say ‘you are making a mistake according to “this” verse of the Qur’an.’ A criticism made without showing a verse from the Qur’an as evidence would have no meaning. When one says, ‘You are making a mistake according to ‘this’ verse,’ a believer would instantly heed that advice.

I live my life according to the Qur’an. If those who criticize me could show me verses from the Qur’an as evidence for their criticisms, I would succumb immediately.

People think that they will lose the respect of others when they receive criticism. This is not true. It’s important to honestly accept criticism.

Getting defensive in the face of constructive criticism is an unwise reflex. Constructive criticism helps one see details and improve oneself.

Muslims cannot be criticized with inadequate information. Criticism should be done by using the appropriate verses of the Qur’an and saying that a certain behavior is wrong according to that verse.

It won’t be possible to correct people or wrong manners simply by using a criticizing language. It is easy to attain results with a positive, rational, moderate language.

Criticisms brought to a Muslim should be with the Qur’an. Instead of talking according to one’s own mentality, it is important to cricitize by saying ‘this is the case according to this verse of the Qur’an’.

A righteous and honest criticism is supported but opposing merely to stir up sedition and disorder is a disgrace.

When we criticize someone, we aim to correct the ways of that person. We would not want that person to be oppressed or fade away.

While criticizing a Muslim, one should say 'This is so and so according to this verse of the Qur'an'. Otherwise there is no error to criticize.

I wish for people who are on the wrong path to correct their ways and not get deeper in their errors so that they are won over. To correct those who are on the wrong path, I respond to misdeeds with good. My tone is always reconciliatory and compassionate. I want to win over people I criticize, not humiliate them.

Anyone criticizing us must document his criticism with proofs from the Qur'an. They must say, “This is wrong according to this verse.” It’s unacceptable to say, “This is wrong according to my own conviction.”

Democratic struggle; even with harshest words or opposition is acceptable. But firing at civilians can never be accepted.

A Muslim feels pleased by being criticized and corrects his mistakes. A hypocrite, on the other hand, gets paralyzed when they are criticized.

Self-criticism is crucial to prevent arrogance. If one thinks of himself as immune to mistakes, he’s already fallen into satan’s trap; self-criticism is a remedy. God forbid, those who refrain from it will only hurt themselves.

Blind, angry criticism is very wrong. Criticism is necessary, but it should be done to help, not to humiliate.

It is quite natural for a Muslim to make a mistake. People should not be afraid of making mistakes. Even if it is a big mistake, it can be solved by giving advice. But reacting angrily to advice is not normal. You could say, "Okay, I will consider this. May God bless you. I will try my best." That's it. But angry overreaction to advice is abnormal behavior.

Of course, a believer should be open to advice. A Muslim might make a mistake, there is nothing wrong with this but he should always pay heed to advice of others: In other words, a Muslim shouldn't be arrogant, disrespectful and snobbish, right? Even though he won't follow the advice, he should politely listen to it within the limits of the Qur'an and say, "I will try hard to do so."

Fiercely defending one's own desires is a mental illness. One should get a grip on himself in this situation and take refuge in God. He should ask himself, "How did I turn into such an abnormal person?" He should listen to what others have to say in a reasonable manner. A Muslim is open to 'al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar' (enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong). Therefore, he becomes wiser with ease.

God has given very nice secrets that would keep one's mind sane. Before all else, one's commitment to God would keep away all immorality, all abnormality. Putting one's trust in God would take away the torment one does to himself. When he becomes patient, he would become friends with everyone around. When one is loyal, he would attain a personality everyone would love. When one criticizes himself, he keeps his sanity intact. When one is criticized by others, he becomes a rational, stable and loveable person.

Have a look at some people around you, at those who do not let anyone say a single word about themselves. They come up with an explanation to every single thing they are told. They do not even accept something that should certainly be criticized about. That kind of attitude would create heavy damage and cause a very significant problem in one's psyche. Look around you and you will see; but those who criticize themselves are very lenient. Such people are very stable and very consistent. You can see that around you as well. That is a miracle of the Qur'an.

In order to be stable and reasonable one should certainly criticize himself. Even if it is once in a while, he should certainly criticize himself and one should do so when he is in the company of others. Only then one could become a stable, reasonable person. That is a miracle of the Qur'an. A solid, tangible miracle.

If one does not criticize himself and sees himself as sufficient and above criticism, he would become insane. A Muslim should certainly criticize himself and have others criticize him. This is necessary for one's sanity or else one's mental health would be disrupted; his judgment and reasoning would be impaired. His foresight and perception would be blocked. Have a look at those around you, you will see. Avoiding criticisms would cause instability and would prevent one to be reasonable.

Man is unbridled in seeing himself as self-sufficient. One should not see himself as self-sufficient. He should constantly criticize himself. He should criticize himself openly and thank those who criticize him. He should say, “May God be pleased with you”.

Let everyone speak out their opinions, let everyone criticize. Why is there the need for curses, for defamations? Curses burn out those who curse. They would have their hearts torn out. They would lose their happiness and joy. They would lose the radiant light in their faces. That would give them pain.

The compliments a Muslim pays to another Muslim would cheer them up and give way to affection. Speaking against one person constantly, constantly criticizing that person would darken the heart and cause pain. The right and the beautiful should be giving its due.
