do?". (Surat as-Saffat: 96) In these words "... when you threw; it was Allah
Who threw... ", (Surat al-Anfal: 17) Allah reveals that everything we do is an
act that belongs to Him.
This is the reality. One may not want to concede this; but this does not
change a thing.

Understanding the Reality of Matter Removes

Worldly Ambitions
What we have described so far is one of the most profound truths that
you have heard in your whole life. We have shown that the whole material
world is really a shadow, and that this is the key to understanding the exis-
tence of Allah, His creation, and the fact that He is the one absolute Being. At
the same time, we have presented a scientifically undeniable demonstration

rial world in our brains and the results that this information entails for
human beings can be overlooked. It is of major significance that one of the
most important scientifically proven facts is so carefully hidden from peo-
ple's eyes.
The fundamental reason why people easily accept all scientific facts,
yet are so afraid to accept this one, is that learning the truth about matter
will basically change the way everyone looks at life. Those who believe that
