The Real Essence of Matter 271

fered. That we do not have direct experience of the original matter has been
proven by modern science and it is put forward in a very clear, straightfor-
ward and forceful way. It only remains for materialists to see and acknowl-
edge the collapse of the entire material world in which they blindly believe
and on which they rely.
Materialist thought has always existed throughout the history of
humanity. Being very assured of themselves and the philosophy they
believed in, materialists ignorantly revolted against Allah Who created
them. The irrational and unscientific scenario they formulated maintained
that matter has no beginning or end, and that none of its forms could possi-
bly have a Creator. (Surely Allah is beyond that.) Because of their arrogance,
they denied Allah and took refuge in the lie that matter was the absolute
entity. They were so confident in this philosophy that they thought that it
would never be possible to put forward an explanation proving the con-
trary.
That is why the facts as set forth in this book regarding the real nature
of matter surprised these people to such a degree. What has been explained
here has destroyed the very basis of their philosophy and left no ground for
further discussion. Matter, upon which they based all their thoughts, lives,
arrogance and denial, vanished all of a sudden.
One of the attributes of Allah is His plotting against the unbelievers.
This is stated in the verse: "They plot and plan, but Allah too plans; and
Allah is the best of planners." (Surat al- Anfal, 30)
Allah entrapped materialists by making them assume that they deal
with the original of matter and, in so doing, humiliated them in hidden ways.
Materialists deemed they knew the originals of their possessions, status,
rank, the society to which they belonged, the whole world and everything
else, of which they actually had an experience of only the copies, and igno-
rantly grew arrogant toward Allah in their reliance on these things. Display-
ing the greatest unreason, they revolted against Allah by being boastful,
thereby taking their unbelief to extremes. While so doing, they totally relied
on matter. Yet, they were so lacking in understanding that they failed to
think that Allah totally encompasses them. Allah announces the state to
which the unbelievers are led as a result of their thick-headedness:

Or do they intend a plot (against you)? But those who defy Allah shall
themselves be ruined! (Surat at-Tur, 42)
