DARWINISM REFUTED

THE WORLD IN DREAMS

The images, sounds, feeling of hardness, pain, light, colors—all the feelings
pertaining to the event a person experiences in his dream—are perceived very
sharply. They seem as natural as the ones in real life. The cake he eats in his
dream satiates him, although it is a mere perception, because feeling satisfied
is a perception too. At that moment, however, this person is lying in his bed.
There are really no stairs, no traffic, no buses, no cake, because the dreamer
experiences perceptions and feelings that don't exist in the external world.
The fact that our dreams give us events with no physical, external correlates
clearly reveals that the "world out there" is one whose true essence we can
never know. We can learn the true nature of that world only from the
revelation of Almighty Allah, Who created it.

as in real life. At that moment, if the person who is having that dream were
told it was only a dream, he would not believe it. Yet all that he is seeing
is an illusion, and the bus, hospital and even the body he sees in his dream
have no physical counterparts in the real world. Although they have no
physical counterparts, he still feels as if a “real body” has been hit by a
“real bus.”
