but a bleak lie that seeks to divert them from the truth that inspires joy. That joy lies in the fact that man
is not lonely, friendless, and abandoned but possesses a purpose stipulated by God.
Forgetting that God has created human beings for a specific purpose, societies are condemned to suf-
fer a moral and spiritual collapse. Most of those addicted to drugs and alcohol, who turn their backs on

life, and suffer such psychological disorders like depression and stress, and who commit suicide, are un-
aware of their lives' true purpose.
Despite being an evolutionist, Fred Hoyle says this of the nihilistic philosophy—that life is pointless
and that human beings are worthless—emanating from The Origin of Species:

I am haunted by a conviction that the nihilistic philosophy which so-called educated opinion chose to adopt

following the publication of the Origin of Species committed mankind to a course of automatic self destruc-
tion. A doomsday was then set ticking. 167

God has created all human beings to serve Him, and has breathed His own soul into them. Man is
not an entity that came into being by chance from inanimate substances, but an entity created by
Almighty God, to whom He gave reason and conscience and all kinds of blessings. Human beings—

whom Darwinist materialists imagine to be purposeless and free of any restraint—actually have a most
valuable purpose in life, to please Almighty God, Who created them, brought them into being from
nothing, and gave them a soul and consciousness. At every moment of our lives, we should abide by our
Lord's commandments with the greatest care and enthusiasm, hoping to earn His mercy and eternal
Paradise in return. A person's true life is in the Hereafter, which will begin after death. In this world, a

person must live in order to attain Paradise.
God reveals in the Qur'an that human beings are not free from all restraint:
Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked? (Surat al-Qiyama, 36)

Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us? (Surat al-
Muminun, 115)

According to Social
Darwinist propaganda,
the death of a human
being is no different to
that of a fly. Darwinism
attaches no great impor-
tance to human beings.
Even the condition of
these children may have
no effect on the con-
sciences of people de-
ceived by Darwinist
propaganda.
