CONCLUSION

aterialists im ag ine that a world formed by co in ci den ces ex ists in side a uni verse they
want to be lieve is eter nal and time less. Yet there can be no doubt that hu man be ings—
M who use their in tel li gence, found civ il i za tions, man u fac ture ro bots, give rise to the In-

ternet, make use of all these things, think and un der stand phe nom e na, feel doubts, en gage in al tru -
is tic be hav ior, take pleas ure from a land scape, make ef forts to es tab lish the truth—are not the work
of chance. In the same way that no life form on Earth came in to be ing by chance, hu man be ings—
with their bil lions of cells, the complex or gan elles in side each cell, glo ri ous brain and ex traor di na ry

ap pear ance—can not be the work of chance, ei ther.
Contrary to what ma te ri al ists im ag ine, noth ing on Earth is co in ci den tal.
If there is noth ing co in ci den tal in peo ple, or in what they do and achieve, that means there must
be pur pose ful con scious ness in them. If a per son acts with con scious ness, then there must be a su pe -

ri or in tel li gence that cre at ed that con scious ness, an Intelligence that must be su pe ri or to ev ery thing
that in di vid u al does, sees and knows.
That in tel li gence be longs to Allah, Who cre ated man from noth ing and breathed His Spirit into
him.

A per son will de light in beau ty if Allah so choos es. If Allah so choos es, he will make dis cov er ies
and in vent tech nol o gies. If Allah so choos es, he will com pose mu sic, play the vi o lin or write books.
If Allah so wish es, a per son will re joice, sor row, take pleas ure, wor ry or feel ex cite ment. Enjoyment
of mu sic and beau ty are by Allah’s leave. Enjoyment of a love ly land scape, fine cloth ing, prop er be -

hav ior, flow ers, a rab bit, a paint ing or a cake is all by Allah’s leave. No one can ex pe ri ence any of
these un less Allah so wills it.
