DARWINISM REFUTED

tricked and suffered a serious defeat in their struggle against Allah by
bringing up something monstrous against Him. The verse "Thus have We
placed leaders in every town, its wicked men, to plot [and burrow]
therein: but they only plot against their own souls, and they perceive it
not" (Surat al-An‘am: 123) announces how unconscious these people who
ignorantly revolt against our Creator are (surely Allah is beyond that), and
how they will end up. In another verse the same fact is related as:

Fain would they deceive Allah and those who believe, but they
only deceive themselves, and realize (it) not! (Surat al-Baqara: 9)
While trying to plot, unbelievers do not realize the very important
fact that everything they experience are copy images they deal with in
their brains, and that they merely have experience of images of all the
plots they devise formed in their brains, just like every other act they
perform. Their folly has let them forget that they are all alone with Allah
and, hence, are trapped in their own devious plans.
Just like those unbelievers of bygone days, those living today face a
reality that will shatter the basis of their devious plans. With the verse "...
feeble indeed is the cunning of satan" (Surat an-Nisa’: 76), Allah has
stated that these plots were doomed to end with failure the day they were
hatched, and gave the good tidings to believers with the verse "... not the
least harm will their cunning do to you." (Surah Al ‘Imran: 120)
In another verse Allah reveals the delusion of unbelievers: "But the
unbelievers, their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the
man parched with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to
it, he finds it to be nothing, but he finds Allah there." (Surat an-Nur: 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
