deemed themselves to be wise enough to offer an argument about
the truth of the universe and, more importantly, adopted a so-called
“intellectual” dispute about God, Who explains their limited intelli-
gence in the Qur’an (3: 54): “And [the disbelievers] plotted and
planned, and God too planned, and the best of planners is God.”
From some plots, it may be possible to escape. But there is no way
to avoid God’s plan against the disbelievers. They can never find a
helper other than God. As God states in the Qur’an (4: 173), “They
shall not find for them other than God a patron or a help.”
For materialists, realizing this fact is no doubt the worst possible
thing, because it leaves them all alone with God. Thus, they under-
stand that God is always with them and He encompasses all things.
With verse 74: 11 of the Qur’an, God calls us to remember that each
human is, in truth, totally alone in His Presence: “Leave Me alone, [to
deal] with the [creature] whom I created alone!”
This remarkable fact is repeated in many other verses:
And behold! You come to us alone [individually] as We created you for
the first time: you have left behind you all [the favors] which We be-
stowed on you. (Qur’an, 6: 94)
And each one of them will come unto Him on the Day of Resurrection,
alone. (Qur’an, 19: 95)
In another sense, it is stated in these verses that those who take
matter as their god have, nonetheless, come from God and will re-
turn to Him. They have submitted their wills to God, whether or not
they wanted to. Now—however unwilling they may be to realize it—
they await the Day of Judgment, when every one of them will be
called to account.
