“Our personal and social lives are measured by the degree to which we crave, and how successful we are in acquiring the objects of our desire. The more we obtain and the more we satisfy our base impulses, we are told, the more we truly taste and enjoy the reality of life.  The Qur’anic message, conversely, advocates something entirely different, and warns us of being deceived by the illusory nature of the world.”
