This quote is factually wrong about anarchy in every way. Well depending on the type of anarchy


I did not define or even mention anarchy beyond the first line.

OK so I will be judged the same regardless as wether or not I have spent my time praying or working or enjoying the world. That's a nice thought.


Think of it this way. You are taking an exam. You have X number of hours to complete it. Passing the course depends on how well you do on the exam.

Now, let's say you didn't bother with the exam, but you were working diligently on something else, perhaps studying for another exam. Or you were helping out your neighbors by supplying them with pencils and erasers. Or you simply folded your arms and didn't care. If you fail the course, who will be to blame?

The life of this world is a test. If we follow instructions different from the one Allah gave us, regardless of how great a people we might consider ourselves to be, we still fail in the end. Of course, you might reply with "But I don't even believe in God," but if you could make the above statement hypothetically, then think of my response hypothetically.

Salam.
