"The first: Under the influence of science and philosophy, and the
spread of the materialist and naturalist epidemic into humanity, the first
duty [of Hazrat Mahdi] is first of all to save faith as to entirely silence phi-
losophy and materialistic thinking." (Bediuzzaman, The Treatise of Light

Collection, Emirdag Addendum, p. 259)
Bediuzzaman says that Darwinism and materialism are the mainstays of

the antichrist, and that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will carry out a great
intellectual struggle against that mischief, effectively ending it:

"… at the end of time the religion of Christianity will be purified and
divest itself of superstition in the face of the current of unbelief and
atheism born of naturalist philosophy, and will be transformed into
Islam. At this point, the collective personality of Christianity will kill the
fearsome collective personality of irreligion with the sword of heaven-
ly revelation; so too, representing the collective personality of Chris-

tianity, Jesus (pbuh) will [spiritually] kill the antichrist, who represents
the collective personality of irreligion, that is, he will kill atheistic
thought [he will intellectually eliminate it]." (Bediuzzaman, The Treatise
of Light Collection, The Letters, First Letter, p. 22)

"... will [intellectually] kill the gigantic collective personality of materi-
alism and irreligion which the antichrist will form – for the antichrist will
be killed by Jesus' (pbuh) sword [of knowledge] – and destroy his ideas
and disbelief, which are atheistic." (Bediuzzaman, The Treatise of Light

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi makes it very clear that it is Darwinism and

materialism that push people away from the moral values of religion
and lead them to disbelief. He explains that Muslims will carry out a
great intellectual struggle against these two twisted ideas under the
leadership of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). By
the grace of God, these ideologies will be ended by these two blessed
personages and the moral values of Islam will come to reign through-
out the world.
