CONCLUSION: THE TRUTH CANNOT BE AVOIDED

n increasing number of people are coming to accept this truth, which changes people's funda-
mental ideas and obliges them to have faith in God. Accepting this truth enables people to love
A and willingly abide by all the features of that pleasing morality revealed in the Qur’an, and re-
moves all evil feelings—such as competitiveness, hatred and enmity—and replaces them with love, com-

passion and humility, which is the true nature of matter. Those who say, "How is it that it took me so long
to realize a truth so obvious and simple as this?" are in the majority.
It is very important that anyone who understands this one truth should tell others about it. It enables
people to definitively grasp other difficult subjects, such as destiny, time, death, the resurrection, heaven

and hell. Everyone who does this will both enable others to understand the Qur’an better and more quickly,
and will be a means whereby people turn rapidly to the true path.
God has given the glad tidings that when nothing is associated with Him, when only He is worshipped,
when only He is accepted as the one deity and the one power, then the morality of the Qur’an will rule on

the earth:
God has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the

land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which
He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. "They worship Me, not associating anything with
Me." Any who disbelieve after that, such people are deviators. (Surat an-Nur: 55)
For the morality of the Qur’an to hold sway all over the world, the most important condition is for peo-

ple to believe that there is no other power than God. The subjects discussed in this book need to be thor-
oughly understood in order to get rid of such polytheistic ideas as thinking that matter has an absolute
existence outside God, that He can only permeate matter in an illusory manner, to see God as an entity just
as abstract as intelligence, to imagine that human beings have a power other than God, that people can

change their destiny if they choose, or that time and place are absolute. Those who ask why the matter is so
important and why we devote space to this subject at every available opportunity in all our books, should
think some more about it.
God is the only being to exist absolutely. He sees and hears us as we read or think about this book and

knows the secrets of our hearts. God surrounds us from every direction. God exists absolutely. It is we His
servants who are abstract. This fact is a source of great joy and beauty to all who love God and realize
that they are His servants. It cannot be right for Muslims to seek to avoid this truth. Muslims must accept
the truth with all their hearts, not diminish themselves in the sight of God by ignoring it. God issues a

warning to His believing servants in the Qur’an:
Do not mix up truth with falsehood and knowingly hide the truth. (Surat al-Baqara: 42)

We must not forget that the revelation of this truth will be a means whereby materialism will be over-
thrown, and spirituality and pleasing morality will rule the earth. People in materialist circles who realize
this are very uneasy when this truth is revealed, and resort to the most ridiculous and desperate means to
