RELIGIONS OF IRRELIGION
This chapter reveals a crucial life secret. It should be read
attentively and thoroughly, for it is concerned with a subject that is
liable to make a fundamental change in one's outlook toward the
external world. The subject of this chapter is not merely a point of
view, a different approach, or a traditional philosophy. It is a fact
which everyone, believers and non-believers, must admit to and which
has been proven by science today.
As previously stated, one of the most important reasons
disbelievers assume a negative attitude towards religion is their
assessment based on purely worldly criteria. The assumption that life
is limited to this world and their fervent attachment to it accounts for
this, as shown in the Qur’an:
It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life- we die and live,
but we will not be resurrected. 90
Due to their obsession with worldly standards, disbelievers fail to
have a true perception of things around them. They see events as
unconnected to Allah and cannot comprehend that everything exists by
His will. Allah describes the world view of disbelievers as follows:
89 Surah al-Anfal, 8:39.
90 Surah al-Mu’minun, 23:37.
