But it is never too late to repent to Allah, and to reorient all one's deeds and the conduct of one's life in submission to the will of Allah. Life is short; the human soul is eternal. During this short period, one should not allow temporary passions to control one. A person should resist temptation and keep himself away from everything that will strengthen his bonds to this world. It is surely unwise to neglect the next world just for the sake of the temporary joys of this one...."

One article published in this magazine titled "Communicating Wonders of Allah's Creation" reads:

It is exceedingly important that true believers should be on their guard against trends of thought that oppose Allah and religion. The duty of a Muslim in the face of Darwinism is to destroy that great lie and to proclaim the truth of creation.

When we look at the life of Allah's Messenger, in whom there is "an excellent model for believers" (Surat al-Ahzab: 21), we see that he often thought about the glory of Allah's creation and shared his contemplations with the believers around him. We learn from ahadiths of Allah's Messenger (saas) that he "stood up amongst the believers for a long period and informed them about the beginning of creation" (Sahih Bukhari, Book 54, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 414)
