really like: “…But my Lord encompasses everything that
you do!” (Surah Hud: 92).
Such people occasionally utter clichés that mention
Allah’s name, such as “Allah forbid” and “if Allah wills,” but
He is like an abstract concept that hardly ever enters their
minds. Perhaps they accept what they have heard about
His existence and power, but they do not really believe it.
This becomes clear whenever they are asked to do some-
thing for Allah or to suffer some inconvenience for another
person’s sake. In times of anxiety or potential loss, they
show their insincerity by joining the unbelievers.
Most people in an unbelieving society openly deny
Allah’s existence and oppose the Qur’an. Some find sup-
port for their denial in materialist philosophy and the theo-
ry of evolution, and thus make these their ideological foun-
dations. They present themselves as modern, enlightened,
contemporary, scientific, intellectual, and so on in the hope
of impressing others, and think that they have gained a
“good reputation” by denying Allah. Their minds are so
shallow that they cannot grasp something so clear as His
existence.
These two groups must be approached in the same
way: bringing them to the stage where they can see proofs
of Allah’s existence and finally understand that they must
abandon their superstitions. And because they have estab-
lished their denial on an ideological foundation, the bases
of these ideologies must first be destroyed. For example,
their blind belief in the theory of evolution must be disman-
tled by showing its impasses and internal inconsistencies.
