ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN
39) Materialist philosophy, too, offers a mirage for the rebellious;
when they have recourse to materialism, they find everything to be
merely an illusion. Allah has deceived them with such a mirage, and
beguiled them into thinking that they have direct experience of the
original of this collection of perceptions. All those professors, astronomers,
biologists, physicists and all others, regardless of their
rank and post, are simply deceived and humiliated because they
foolishly took matter as their deity. (Surely Allah is beyond that) Assuming
the copy images they watched within their brains to be absolute,
they based their philosophy and ideology on it, grew involved
in serious discussions, adopting a so-called "intellectual" discourse.
They deemed themselves wise enough to argue about the
truth of the universe and, more seriously thought unworthy
thoughts about Allah with their limited intelligence. Allah explains
their situation in the following verse:
They plotted and Allah plotted. But Allah is the best of plotters.
(Surah Al 'Imran: 54)
One may possibly escape from some plots in the world; but
Allah's plan against the unbelievers is so firm that there is no avoiding
it. No matter what they do or to whom they appeal, never can
they find any helper other than Allah. As Allah informs us in the
Qur'an, "They will not find any protector or helper for themselves
besides Allah." (Surat an-Nisa': 173)
Materialists never expected to fall into such a trap. Having all the
means of the twentieth century at their disposal, they believed they
could grow obstinate in their denial and drag others into disbelief.
This ever-lasting mentality of unbelievers and their end are described
as follows in the Qur'an:
They hatched a plot and We hatched a plot while they were not
aware. So look at the end result of all their plotting; We utterly destroyed
them and their whole people! (Surat an-Naml: 50-51)
