             with determination to disprove the facts, which are simple enough for
             even a primary school child to understand. The reason behind this
             opposition is that they are afraid to lose what this world offers.
                 For someone who is attached to his possessions, his children, or the
             transient offerings of this world, the illusory nature of matter is cause for
             great fear. At the moment such a person understands this, he will have
             died before his natural death, and he will have surrendered his
             possessions and his soul. In the verse, "If He did ask you for it (all your
             wealth) and put you under pressure, you would be tight-fisted and it
             would bring out your malevolence." (Surah Muhammad: 37), Allah
             reveals how human beings will behave with meanness when He demands
             their possessions from them.
                 But when a person learns the real nature of matter, he will
             understand that his soul and his possessions already belong to Allah. If he
             knows that there is nothing to give or to resist giving, he will submit
             himself and all he possesses to Allah before he dies. For sincere believers,
             this is a beautiful and honorable thing and a way to draw nearer to Allah.
             Those who do not believe or whose faith is weak cannot recognize this
             beauty and stubbornly reject this reality.

                 The Environment That Will Come To Be When the Real
                 Nature of Matter Is Not Kept Secret

                 Those who know that they have no connection with the actual
             material things, and that they are in the presence only of images that Allah
             presents to them, will change their whole way of living, their view of life
             and their values. This will be a change that will be useful both from the
             personal and social point of view, because someone who sees this truth
             will live without difficulty according to the high moral qualities that Allah
             has revealed in the Qur’an.
                 For those who do not regard the world as important and who
             understand that we cannot have direct experience of the original matter, it
             is spiritual things that deserve to be given importance. Someone who
             knows that Allah is listening to him and watching him at every moment,
             and is aware that he will render an account of his every action in the
             Hereafter, will naturally live a morally virtuous life. He will be very
             careful about what Allah has commanded and what He has forbidden.
