"intellectual" discourse. They deemed themselves wise enough to argue
about the truth of the universe and, more seriously thought unworthy
thoughts about Allah with their limited intelligence. Allah explains their
situation in the following verse:
And [the unbelievers] plotted and planned, and Allah too planned,
and the best of planners is Allah. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 54)
One may possibly escape from some plots in the world; but Allah's
plan against the unbelievers is so firm that there is no avoiding it. No
matter what they do or to whom they appeal, never can they find any
helper other than Allah. As Allah informs us in the Qur'an, "they shall not
find for them other than Allah a patron or a help." (Surat an-Nisa’: 173)
Materialists never expected to fall into such a trap. Having all the
means of the twentieth century at their disposal, they believed they could
grow obstinate in their denial and drag others into disbelief. This ever-
lasting mentality of unbelievers and their end are described as follows in
the Qur'an:
They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they
perceived it not. Then see what was the end of their plot! - this, that
We destroyed them and their people, all [of them]. (Surat an-Naml:
50-51)
This, in another sense, is what the fact stated in the verses comes to
mean: Materialists are now told that they merely have experience of the
copies in their brains of everything they own, and therefore, everything
they possess has been rendered valueless. As they witness their
possessions, factories, gold, money, children, spouses, friends, rank and
status, and even their own bodies—the originals of all of which they
believe they know—slipping out of their hands, they are in a sense
destroyed. At this point, they are no longer material entities but souls.
Realizing this truth is doubtless the worst possible thing for the
materialists. This is, in their own words, tantamount to "death before
dying" in this world.
With the verse, "Leave Me alone, [to deal] with the [creature] whom
I created [bare and] alone!" (Surat al-Muddaththir: 11) Allah has revealed
the fact that each human being is, in truth, all alone in His Presence. This
remarkable fact is revealed in many other verses:
