Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Theirs is most probably the biggest intellectual defeat in history.
While growing arrogant of their own accord, materialists have been

tricked and suffered a serious defeat in their struggle against Allah
by bringing up something monstrous against Him. The verse "And
likewise in every city We set up its greatest wrongdoers to plot in
it. They plot against themselves alone, but they are not aware of
it." (Surat al-An'am: 123) announces how unconscious these people
who ignorantly revolt against our Creator are (surely Allah is be-
yond that), and how they will end up. In another verse the same fact
is related as:
They think they deceive Allah and those who believe. They de-
ceive no one but themselves but they are not aware of it. (Surat al-
Baqara: 9)
While trying to plot, unbelievers do not realize the very impor-
tant fact that everything they experience are copy images they deal
with in their brains, and that they merely have experience of images
of all the plots they devise formed in their brains, just like every oth-

er act they perform. Their folly has let them forget that they are all
alone with Allah and, hence, are trapped in their own devious plans.
Just like those unbelievers of bygone days, those living today
face a reality that will shatter the basis of their devious plans. With
the verse "... Satan's scheming is always feeble " (Surat an-Nisa':
76), Allah has stated that these plots were doomed to end with fail-
ure the day they were hatched, and gave the good tidings to believ-
ers with the verse "... their scheming will not harm you in any
way." (Surah Al 'Imran: 120)
In another verse Allah reveals the delusion of unbelievers: "But
the actions of those who are unbelievers are like a mirage in the
desert. A thirsty man thinks it is water but when he reaches it, he
finds it to be nothing at all, but he finds Allah there. He will pay
him his account in full. Allah is swift at reckoning." (Surat an-Nur:
