dren, spouses, friends, rank and status,
and even their own bodies, the originals of
all of which they deem to know, slipping
out of their reach, they are "destroyed" in a
sense. At this point, they are no longer material
entities but souls.
No doubt, realising this truth is the worst possible
situation for materialists. This is tantamount, in their own
words, to "death before dying" in this world.
With the verse, "Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the

come from Allah and must return to Him. They must submit their wills to
Allah whether they want to or not. Now they must wait for the Day of
Judgement when every one of them will be called to account, however
unwilling they may be to acknowledge this.

Conclusion
The subject we have explained so far is one of the greatest truths that
will ever be told to you in your lifetime. Proving that we never have direct
experience of the original of matter, this subject is the key to comprehending
the existence of and creation by Allah, and to understanding that He is the
only absolute being.
The person who understands this subject realises that the world is not
the sort of place it is surmised by most people to be. The world is not an
absolute place, of which we know the original, as supposed by those who
wander aimlessly about in the streets, who get into fights in pubs, who
