Absolute Truth exists:

Satan survives on extremes, his agents always fall in one of two seemingly opposite extremes, the first group are the fundamentalists, who adhere strongly to man-made laws controlling everything and everyone!, while the opposing liberals on the other hand advocate total freedom, "tolerance", no laws, no religion, open society...etc.

[4:60] Have you noted those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, then uphold the unjust laws of their idols (extremes)? They were commanded to reject such laws. Indeed, it is the devil's wish to lead them far astray.


How could these opposing views be the two sides of the same coin?. First we have to remember that God calls His righteous servants "Ummatan Wasataa" (a balanced, impartial nation, or literally a middle nation), and in the same time God stresses that there is only one path leading to Him, the straight path. Naturally extremes that take us off this balanced path are from Satan.

[2:143] We thus made you an impartial community, that you may serve as witnesses among the people, and the messenger serves as a witness among you. We changed the direction of your original Qiblah only to distinguish those among you who readily follow the messenger from those who would turn back on their heels. It was a difficult test, but not for those who are guided by GOD. GOD never puts your worship to waste. GOD is Compassionate towards the people, Most Merciful.


The news is that there is Absolute truth, and this is what Satan fears the most, God is the absolute truth, anything and anyone else is but an illusion, without God this illusion will vanish, the whole visible universe will fall apart.

[22:62] It is a fact that GOD is the Truth, while the setting up of any idols beside Him constitutes a falsehood, and that GOD is the Most High, the Supreme.

Satan knows that if the people acknowledged the absolute truth, that God alone has power to harm or benefit them, they will eventually abandon Satan (and his agents), Satan doesn't want ofcourse to lose his followers, thus he stresses on the illusion, he dupes us into believing that the visible life elements have inherent power (money, people, status...etc), while the reality is that only God has any power of any sort (the meaning behind everything).

[4:120] He promises them and entices them; what the devil promises is no more than an illusion.

Some nations embraced Satan's extreme of total control, through "religion" (instituting hundreds of prohibitions and laws controlling every single detail of their lives, e.g: the muslims), or through "politics" (by which Satan institutes man-made laws to control man).

Satan lives in fear, this fear projects itself in trying to control his enemy (the Human being) through the extremes of fundamentalism and liberalism.

Liberalism succeedes with those who don't like the dogmas of "religion", "politics"..etc. Satan provides them with a better offer, living with no rules at all, no laws, and no "religion", he calls it "freedom" while it's slavery to their desires!.

For Satan knows that Liberals are no threat to him, they are not advocating any absolute truth, since in their philosophy (open-society) anything goes as long as it doesn't stand for absolute truths (Justice, Real Freedom, Real Love, equality...etc).



Transgression, (exceeding the upper and lower limits) :

[22:71Yet, they idolize beside GOD idols wherein He placed no power, and they know nothing about them. The transgressors have no helper.

To give you a feel of how dangerous are Satan's extremist systems, let's consider the following, in a closed-society, following the traditional inherited ways is encouraged while pursuing new knowledge is discouraged, this eventually causes the deterioration of the society.
On the other hand in a so called open-society, pursuing new knoweldge is the driving force, without paying any consideration to the consequences, the long term effects or the lessons from the past, this kind of society eventually transgresses the limit and incur God's wrath (e.g: Aids, mad-cow disease, global warming.....etc).

For example in the muslim world where there is a dominant culture of following the inherited ways (religion, science..etc), a clear deterioration in almost every field could be noticed, they are tens of years behind the developed countries, this is the direct result of falling into Satan's camp of  "rigid fundamentalism".

While in the developed countries, instead of worshipping "the same", they worship "the new", they follow any new religion, any new technology, any new sexual form...etc, (anything but God!), following the mirage of Satan costs them alot, high technology but with more stress and disease, more luxury but also more depression and emptiness.

Thus satan promises both camps gratification through indulging in "the new" or in "the old", because only this way he can guarantee their servitude to him, they are distracted from his vicious schemes (to destroy them) by the toys (idols) of "the old" and "the new" that he throws them.

[14:42] Do not ever think that GOD is unaware of what the transgressors are doing. He only respites them until a day where the eyes stare in horror.


There is an absolute truth
, there are absolute values, and they are detailed in a proven book that came from God. The Gracious didn't leave us without guidance, but out of His mercy He sent us this invaluable gift, Quran,.

[43:0] In the name of God, The Gracious, The Merciful

[43:1] H. M.

[43:2] And the enlightening scripture.

[43:3] We have rendered it an Arabic Quran, that you may understand.

[43:4] It is preserved with us in the original master, honorable and full of wisdom.

[43:5] Should we just ignore the fact that you have transgressed the limits?




[5:77]
Say, "O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion beyond the truth, and do not follow the opinions of people who have gone astray, and have misled multitudes of people; they are far astray from the right path."
