Today, a large number of people do not realize that the causes of the degradation they live in and complain about constantly arise from their following their own passions and setting up partners beside Allah. For this reason, they look for remedies in various places. They believe that if only they made some economic, social and cultural changes, their nation's wealth would increase, and developing technology would solve all their problems. But these initiatives can have no effect unless people purify themselves entirely from putting other objects of worship beside Allah and come to a firm faith in Him alone. Even though new solutions are being developed all the time, they are of no avail since people keep acting in opposition to the high standards of morality enjoined by Allah.
There is only one way for people to escape the dark and frightening lifestyles they live and enter a content, secure environment. This is to get free from the clutches of the "religion" of worshipping people that pervade society, to have faith only in Allah and to obey the commands and prohibitions He has given in the Qur'an. This would result in happiness and salvation for all peoples, inasmuch as Allah, having created human beings, knows best what the human spirit needs. This fact is revealed in the Qur'an:
By it, Allah guides those who follow what pleases Him to the ways of Peace. He will bring them from the darkness to the light by His permission, and guide them to a straight path. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 16)

Those who do not understand the limitless power of Allah and the purpose of the universe's creation try to live their lives according to rules of their own making, and based on an ignorant way of thinking apart from the Qur'an. This is the foundation of the cult of worshipping people and also supplies the excuses why anyone should follow it. In the Qur'an, however, Allah tells us about those who propose false facts and reasoning to justify their rejection of true religion:
Do they then seek the judgment of the Time of Ignorance? Who could be better at giving judgment than Allah for people with certainty? (Surat al-Ma'ida, 50)
For a person to live his life, however, he definitely needs the commands of Allah and the moral qualities revealed in the Qur'an. It is good and easy for us to live according to the moral teachings in the book of our Lord and Creator. Without this morality, a healthy society is unthinkable; because laws decreed with no regard for human nature (that is, the character that human beings were created with), will have a detrimental effect on both individuals and on society and bring about social degradation. Relations between humans will deteriorate, and society will be plunged into chaos. As a result, war, confusion and oppression will be unavoidable throughout the world. Individuals divorced from religion, trying to follow the dictates of their own ignorant systems, will be overwhelmed by spiritual and physical distress.

This is also the case with believers, who recognize a person who may display insincere attitudes in some particular situations. In fact, because they think according to the Qur'an, with the wisdom and perception granted to them by Allah, believers can form more accurate opinions. Trying to explain these judgments to others, they may fail to provide concrete evidence to prove their point, for these are matters that cannot be clearly expressed. This talent for discernment can be referred to as a "sixth sense." With it, people feel whether a person is sincere, merely by the inspiration of Allah.
