prevent it from reaching peoples' ears. This is because they know it will undermine the entire basis of
their philosophy. However, the truth about matter has now been revealed in complete clarity and open-
ness. This truth, which used to be just a philosophical speculation because of the lack of scientific evi-

dence, has now been totally validated scientifically. Frederick Vester, for instance, who grasped the truth
of the matter, has this to say,

The statements of certain thinkers that "man is an image, everything experienced is temporary and deceptive,
and this universe is a shadow," seem to be proven by science in our day. 56

All materialist squirming is to no avail. Now that knowledge can be communicated all over the
world in the blink of an eye, this truth that they have tried to hide from peoples' eyes for hundreds of
years is now being read, learned and explained everywhere, from Guyana to England, America to

Indonesia, Singapore to Sweden, and even in the strongholds of materialism, Russia, China, Cuba
and Albania. Materialism is falling apart with the greatest collapse in history. That is because it has
today been realized that we can never approach the original of matter. We cannot know whether it exists
outside our minds. It is totally illogical to build a philosophy on something that nobody can ever see. If

we can never have a direct relationship with matter, then there can be no materialism.
This important fact, which makes it easier to understand a number of signs and subjects in various
verses of the Qur’an, completely demolishes the superstitious and antireligious belief that is materialism.
This is a major development. God states in the Qur’an:

Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through it and it vanishes clean away! Woe
without end for you for what you portray! (Surat al-Anbiya': 18)

As is revealed in this verse, when the truth comes to replace falsehood, matter, which is the brain of
materialism, which is a false ideology, also disappears. No materialist has the slightest chance of holding
back or changing this fact.
