Achieving sustainable security for humanity comes from achieving the companionship of God Almighty, and this comes through remembering God.

There is[, for example,] no

tranquility in this world except in His

remembrance. Verily, man is heading toward his

Lord and he shall meet Him. He must definitely

meet Him. There is no true goodness for him except

in meeting Him. If the human experiences any

pleasure or happiness other than in Allah, that joy

and happiness will not endure. It will move from

one nature to another or from one person to

another. The person will enjoy it at one time or only

some of the time. In fact, sometimes the thing he

enjoys and gets pleasure from does not bring him

pleasure or enjoyment. Sometimes it even hurts him

when it comes to him, and he is even more harmed

by that. But his God is definitely always with him

under every circumstance and at all times.

Wherever he is, He is with him [by His knowledge

and aid]…

If someone worships anything other than Allah

even if he loves it and attains some love in this world and some form of pleasure from that [that

false worship] will destroy the person in a way

greater than the harmful displeasure that comes to a

person who took poison…

Again, it cannot be emphasized enough that the belief in only

one Creator and Sustainer of the cosmos is not all there is to a proper

belief in God. Throughout history, it has been the case that some

people stopped at this clear premise and deemed that such was all

there was to the belief in God. Nothing could be further from the

reality. That belief is definitely necessary but it is not sufficient. That

belief must be followed up with the proper relations, emotions of the

heart and acts with respect to Allah. It is by these acts that one truly

takes the Creator as his only “ God,” meaning his only object of

extreme love, adoration and submission. In so doing, he denies that

anyone other than Allah deserves to be worshipped in any way. Then,

and only t hen, he will be fulfilling what it truly means to believe in

God.
