People who lack sufficient knowledge of Darwinism, or who have not studied the subject in de-

tail, may not be aware of what a grave danger Darwinism is. They may not be able to see how the
theory of evolution underlies the social problems and moral degeneration that oppresses and dis-
tresses people today. Ignorance of this fact represents a major threat.

Since they are unaware of the harm that Darwinist thinking has inflicted on mankind over the
last century and a half or so, these people are generally unable to grasp how vitally important the
intellectual struggle against Darwinism is. But the fact remains that Darwinist ideology strives to
deny the existence of Allah and the fact of creation (surely Allah is beyond that). It seeks to make

people forget that they have a responsibility to our Lord. It inculcates the fraudulent idea that human
beings are supposedly the work of blind chance and encourages them to live by the law of the jungle.
It therefore gives rise to societies made up of people that are unaware of their responsibilities to

Allah and the reason for their presence in this world, that think solely of their own self-interest, and
that live in a state of ruthlessness, disloyalty, lovelessness, ingratitude and cruelty.
Darwinism, the falsehood that the immaculate equilibrium in the universe and all life came into

being by chance, also represents the backbone of materialism. This unscientific and pernicious belief
regards human beings as entities with no souls or responsibility to Allah and as merely a slightly
more advanced species of animal. It maintains that relationships between
people should be ruthless, selfish and based on con-

flict, rather than loving, compassionate and affectio-
nate. Therefore, conflict is inevitable wherever the
ideological structure of Darwinism prevails because
this dangerous ideology regards such feelings as

compassion, love, sympathy, loyalty and respect as
elements that supposedly hold back the evolutionary
process and that therefore need to be eradicated.

The error of underestimating the

scientific struggle against
Darwinism

It is a grave error to imagine that Darwinism, prop-
ped up for ideological reasons even though it has collap- Conflict inevitably prevails where the ideological
sed scientifically, is harmless. The idea that life formed structure of Darwinism predominates. This danger-
by chance, which goes back to the ancient Sumerians, ous ideology regards feelings such as compassion,
love, sympathy, affection, altruism and respect as
consists of a failed theory that seeks to account for the
hindrances that slow down the supposed process of
origin of life in purely materialistic terms. This pagan evolution, and that therefore need to be eliminated.
religion, the real aim of which is to deny the existence
of a Creator (surely Almighty Allah is beyond that),

is a trigger that seeks to turn people away from belief
in Allah, indoctrinates them with the idea that they
are ruthless entities and leads to the shedding of the
blood of the innocent. This bloody impact of

Darwinism still persists today, and acts of terror and
violence all over the world are nourished by this per-
verse theory. Therefore, the intellectual struggle to
be waged against Darwinism is of the most vital im-

portance if peace is to be brought to society and the
moral values of the Qur’an are to reign over the
world.
