Page 8 - The Struggle Against the Religion of Irreligion
P. 8
INTRODUCTION
At first glance you may have been puzzled by the title "The
Religion of Irreligion" because "religion," as perceived by many, is
usually associated with Allah's revelation. Alternatively, there are
other beliefs known as "false" religions, like Buddhism and Hinduism.
As the name suggests, "irreligion" is a concept that rejects religion
completely and denies the existence of Allah. 1
However, there exist today in every corner of the world
particular systems of belief adhered to as strictly as religion, yet they
are never called "religion." In this book such ideologies as
materialism, communism, Darwinism (the so-called scientific 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 complete
system of beliefs and practices. They all have their own idolized
leaders and immutable books which their followers learn by heart.
False religions spread rapidly and attract many adherents who are
committed to making the "religion of irreligion" prevail and perpetually
1 "Allah" is the proper name of God by which He is known to Muslims everywhere.
