Page 2 - The Struggle Against the Religion of Irreligion

t first glance, you may have

A A been puzzled by the title "The
Religion of Irreligion." In this book such ideolo-
gies as materialism, communism, Darwinism (the so-called sci-

entific basis of those ideologies) and other systems based on disbelief
are referred to as "religions of irreligion." That is simply because they

have all evolved over time to become religions in themselves, with a com-
plete system of beliefs and practices for conducting daily life. They all have
their own idolized leaders and immutable books which their followers learn

by heart.
Throughout the 20th century until today the religion of irreligion has, per-
haps for the first time in history, spread extensively. In the words of the

Qur'an the followers of irreligion endeavor to "use falsehood to invalidate
thereby the truth" (Surah al-Kahf, 18:56). That is why, especially in our age,
it is of great importance to take part in the noble struggle mentioned in the

Qur'an and refute ideologically all the tenets of irreligion. Allah gave very
important information to His servants who take upon themselves this hon-

orable duty:
"Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and there-
upon it departs." (Surah al-Anbiya', 21:18)

As this verse makes clear, falsehood is doomed to vanish.
