Don’t be fooled by wishful thinking
Allah says:
You doubted and got fooled by empty hopes until Allah’s decision came. And you were tricked about Allah by the master of lies. (QS Al-Hadid: 14)
They were misled in their religion by the stories they made up. (QS Ali Imran: 24)
They said, “Only Jews or Christians will enter heaven.” But that’s just empty talk. (QS Al-Baqarah: 111)
Do people think they’ll get everything they dream about? (QS An-Najm: 24)
Believing in sweet lies can make people lazy to act. They assume they’re safe when they’re not even trying.
