every unbiased person will understand that it isn't possible for one's sens-
es to reach the external world. Yet blind adherence to materialism appar-
ently distorts people's reasoning capability. Contemporary materialists dis-
play severe logical flaws just like their mentors who tried to "prove" that

they could reach the original of matter by kicking stones or eating cake.
This is no astonishing situation. The inability to understand - that is,
interpret the world and events with decent reasoning - is a trait common
to unbelievers. In the Qur'an, Allah particularly states that they are "a peo-

Materialists Have Fallen into the Biggest Trap in History

The panicky atmosphere sweeping materialist circles in Turkey, of
which we've mentioned only a few examples here, shows that materialists
face utter defeat. Modern science has proven that we cannot reach the
original of matter, and put this forward in a clear, straightforward, forceful
way. Materialists see that the material world, on which they base their
entire philosophy, lies beyond a perceptual boundary they can never cross.
In the face of this fact, they can do nothing. Throughout human history,
materialist thought has always existed. Being assured of themselves and
their philosophy, materialists revolted against Allah Who created them.

So confident were they of this philosophy that they believed that no argu-
ments could ever disprove it.
That is why this book's facts regarding the real nature of matter so sur-
prised these people. What we've related here destroyed the very basis of
their philosophy and left no grounds for further discussion. Matter, on
which they based all their thoughts, lives, arrogance, and denial, sudden-
ly vanished. No human being has ever seen matter as it "really" is, so no
philosophy can be based upon it.
One of the attributes of Allah is His plotting against the unbelievers.
This is stated in the verse; "They plot and plan, and Allah too plans;
