"And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any

protector or helper. 118

Materialists never expected to fall into such a trap. Having all

the means of the 20th century at their disposal, they thought they

could grow obstinate in their denial and lead everyone to unbelief.

Allah describes this everlasting mentality of unbelievers and their end

in the Qur’an:

And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while

they perceived it not. Then look how was the outcome of

their plan- that We destroyed them and their people,

all. 119

This, on another level, is what the verses have come to impart:

materialists are informed that everything they own is but an illusion,

and therefore everything they possess will be destroyed. As they

witness their possessions, factories, gold, dollars, children, spouses,

friends, rank and status, even their own bodies (all of which they

deem to exist) slipping away from them, they are "destroyed," in the

words of the verse in Surah an-Naml. At this point they are no longer

material entities, but souls.
