76 TIMELESSNESS AND THE REALITY OF FATE

show off in luxurious cafes, who brag about their property, or who dedicate
their lives to hollow aims. All our knowledge of the world consists of copy
images we see in our brains. All of the people we have cited above are only
shadow beings who watch these copy images in their minds: yet they are
not aware of this.
This concept is very important, for it undermines and demolishes the
materialist philosophy that denies the existence of Allah. This is the reason
why materialists like Marx, Engels, and Lenin felt panic, became enraged,
and warned their followers "not to think over" this concept when they were
told about it. As a matter of fact, such people are in such a state of mental
deficiency that they cannot even comprehend the fact that perceptions are
formed inside the brain. They assume that the world they watch in their
brains is the "original external world" and they cannot comprehend the
obvious evidence to the contrary.
This unawareness is the outcome of the lack of wisdom given to disbe-
lievers by Allah. As Allah reveals in the Qur'an, the unbelievers "have hearts
with which they do not understand, eyes with which they do not see, and
ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle—nay more misguided:
for they are heedless (of warning)." (Surat al-Araf, 179)
In the age in which we live, this fact has been empirically proven by the
body of evidence put forward by science. The fact that we do not experience
the original of the universe is described in such a concrete, clear, and explic-
it way for the first time in history.

For this reason, the 21 century will be a historical-turning point
when people will generally comprehend the divine realities and be led in
crowds to Allah, the only Absolute Being. In the 21 st century, the twisted
materialistic creeds of the 19 th century will be relegated to the trash-heaps
of history, Allah's existence and creation will be grasped, such facts as space-
lessness and timelessness will be understood, and humanity will break free
of the centuries-old veils, deceits and superstitions enshrouding the truth.
