Page 59 - Eternity Has Already Begun

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

This, in another sense, is what the fact stated in the verses comes
to mean: Materialists are now told that they merely have experience
of the copies in their brains of everything they own, and therefore,
everything they possess has been rendered valueless. As they wit-
ness their possessions, factories, gold, money, children, spouses,
friends, rank and status, and even their own bodies—the originals of
all of which they believe they know—slipping out of their hands,
they are in a sense destroyed. At this point, they are no longer ma-
terial entities but souls.
Realizing this truth is doubtless the worst possible thing for the
materialists. This is, in their own words, tantamount to "death be-
fore dying" in this world.
With the verse, " Leave the person I created on his own to Me
alone " (Surat al-Muddaththir: 11) Allah has revealed the fact that
each human being is, in truth, all alone in His Presence. This re-
markable fact is revealed in many other verses:

"You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at first, lea-
ving behind you everything We bestowed on you..." (Surat al-
An'am: 94)
Each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Rising, alone.
(Surah Maryam: 95)

This, in another sense, is what the fact stated in the verses comes
to mean: Those who ignorantly take matter as their deity (surely
Allah is beyond that) have come from Allah and returned to Him.
They have submitted themselves to Allah, whether they want to or
not. Now they wait for the Day of Judgment, when each one of them
will be called to account, however unwilling they may be to under-
stand it.
