materialist because these are the only notions he relies on as ab-
solutes. In a sense, he takes these as idols to worship; because he
thinks that he has been created by matter and time, through evolu-
tion.
When he feels that he cannot get to the essence of the universe
he lives in, nor the world, his own body, other people, other materi-
alist philosophers whose ideas he is influenced by—in short, to any-
thing—he feels overwhelmed by the horror of it all. Everything he
depends on and believes in suddenly vanishes. He feels the despair
which he, essentially, will experience on Judgment Day in its real
sense as described in the verse "That Day shall they [openly] show
[their] submission to Allah; and all their inventions shall leave
them in the lurch." (Surat an-Nahl, 87)
From then on, this materialist tries to convince himself that he's
really confronting external, original matter, and makes up "evi-
dence." He hits his fist on the wall, kicks stones, shouts, and yells.
But he can never escape from the reality.
Just as materialists want to dismiss this reality from their
minds, they also want other people to discard it. They realize that if
the true nature of matter becomes known to people in general, the
primitiveness of their own philosophy and the ignorance of their
worldview will be laid bare for all to see. No ground will be left on
which they can rationalize their views. These fears explain why they
are so disturbed by the facts related here.
Allah states that the fears of the unbelievers will be intensified
in the hereafter. On Judgment Day, they will be addressed thus:
One day shall We gather them all together: We shall say to
those who ascribed partners [to Us]: "Where are the part-
ners whom you (invented and) talked about?" (Surat al-
An‘am, 22)
