Those who followed Communist
leaders like Lenin, Mao and Stalin
saw them as strong leaders. They lis-
tened to their speeches attentively
and with great excitement. They
thought that these persons were in-
dividuals who possessed their own
strength. However, each leader was
a fantasy figure in their brains.

In Turkey and throughout the whole world, this fear and anxiety can be seen very clearly in every ma-
terialist who confronts this issue. For example, in Turkey, materialists have suffered a serious set-back from
the collapse of the theory of evolution, which they supposed to be the basis of their philosophy. Now they
have begun to understand that they have lost a more important support than Darwinism—matter itself. For

this reason they are now saying that, from their point of view, this issue is a very serious danger which
causes their cultural fabric to be totally shredded.
In fact, this points to a promise revealed to human beings by God in the Qur’an. Where truth is plain,
false ideas are bound to perish:

Say: "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always bound to vanish." (Surat al-Isra': 81)

Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through it and it vanishes clean away! Woe with-
out end for you for what you portray! (Surat al-Anbiya': 18)
Materialism and those who have espoused it throughout history use matter as a pretext to rebel against

God, Who created them from nothing, gave them life and created the universe for them to live in. Asking
such superficial and specious questions as "If matter exists, where is God in it?", they deny the existence of
God and exert much effort to get others to deny Him. Today they see one of their most important supports
destroyed; the reality described here has ripped their philosophy up from its roots and left no possibility for

further discussion. The matter on which they had based all their ideas, their lives, their arrogance and their
denial has slipped from their hands in an instant.
Throughout history, materialists have left a heritage of denial and methods of denial. For example,
many materialists today use the words of Lenin quoted above and urge their associates not to listen to or

read about this reality. However, the fact that science has clearly explained the nature of matter, together
with the fact that it is so easy to use technology such as the internet to diffuse this information throughout
the world, has brought their efforts to nothing. Individuals are reading about this reality, learning about it
and coming to understand it. Those who have accepted materialism until recently as the most valid world-

view now are very surprised to learn the real truth about matter and life in this world. This is an extraordi-
nary trap that God has set for the deniers. No matter how deniers throughout history have set traps for true
religion making material idols just to deny God, God, in turn, has prepared an environment where their
