ground for further debate. They saw the material world, in which
they so blindly believed in, trusted and relied, taken away and could
do nothing about it. S Since no human being actually sees the reality of
matter that exists outside us, hears real sounds, or smells genuine
scents, how can we talk of materialism?
One of the attributes of God is His plotting against the unbeliev-
ers, as stated in the Qur’an, verse (8: 30):
They plot and plan, and God too plans; but the best of planners is God.
God entrapped materialists by letting them assume that matter
exists and in so doing, humiliated them in an unseen way.
Materialists grew arrogant against God by relying on their posses-
sions, status, rank in society. They revolted against God by being
boastful (surely God is beyond that) and adding to their unbelief by
relying totally on matter. Yet, they were so lacking in understanding
that they failed to realize that God encompasses them. In the Qur’an
(52: 42), God reveals the state to which unbelievers’ thick-headedness
leads them: “Or do they intend a plot [against you]? But those who
defy God are themselves involved in a Plot!”
This is most probably the biggest defeat in history. While growing
arrogant of their own accord, materialists have been tricked and suf-
fered a serious defeat in the war they waged against God by devising
a monstrous thing against Him.
In another verse (24: 39), God says: “But the disbelievers, their
deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the man parched
with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it, he finds
it to be nothing.” Materialism, too, becomes a “mirage” for the rebel-
lious when they seek to depend on it. Just as stated in this verse; they
find it to be an illusion. God has deceived them with such a mirage,
beguiling them into perceiving this whole collection of images as
real.
All those eminent professors, astronomers, biologists, physicists
and others, regardless of their rank and post, are simply deceived
and humiliated for having taken matter as their god. Assuming a col-
lection of images to be absolute, they based their philosophy and ide-
ology on them, and involved themselves in serious discussions. They
