100 THE EVIL CALLED MOCKERY

Conclusion
The subject we have explained so far is one of the greatest
truths you will ever read in your lifetime. Proving that we can never
have direct experience of the original of matter, this subject is im-
portant in comprehending the existence of Allah and His creations
and to understanding that He is the only absolute Being.
The person who understands this will realize that the world is
not the sort of place that most people surmise. Not an absolute place
whose original we know of, as supposed by those who wander aim-
lessly about the streets, get into fights in pubs, show off in luxurious
cafes, brag about their property, or who dedicate their lives to hol-
low aims. All our knowledge of the world consists of copy images
we see in our brains. All of the people cited above are shadow be-
ings who watch these copy images in their minds, yet are unaware
of this.
This very important concept undermines the materialist philos-
ophy that denies the existence of Allah. This is why materialists like
Marx, Engels, and Lenin panicked, became enraged, and warned
their followers "not to think over" this concept when told about it.
Such people are so mentally deficient that they cannot even compre-
hend the fact that perceptions are formed inside the brain.
Assuming that what they watch in their brains is the "original of the
external world," they cannot comprehend obvious evidence to the
contrary.
This unawareness is the outcome of the lack of wisdom Allah
gives to disbelievers. As Allah reveals in the Qur'an, the unbelievers
"have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they
see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle-nay
more misguided: for they are heedless [of warning]." (Surat al-
A‘raf, 179)
