Conclusion
The Truth Cannot be Avoided
An increasing number of
people are coming to accept this truth, which changes people's fundamental
ideas and obliges them to have faith in God. Accepting this truth
enables people to love and willingly abide by all the features of
that pleasing morality revealed in the Koran, and removes all evil
feelings-such as competitiveness, hatred and enmity-and replaces
them with love, compassion 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 Koran 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 Koran
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.
(The Koran, 24: 55)
For the morality of the Koran to hold sway over all the
world, the most important condition is for people to believe that
there is no other power than God. The subjects discussed in this
book need to be thoroughly 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 Koran:
Do not mix up truth with falsehood and knowingly
hide the truth. (The Koran, 2: 42)
We must not forget that the revelation of this truth
will be a means whereby materialism will be overthrown, 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 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 openness.
This truth, which used to be just a philosophical speculation because
of the lack of scientific evidence, 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.
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 Koran, completely
demolishes the superstitious and antireligious belief that is materialism.
This is a major development. God states in the Koran:
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! (The Koran, 21: 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.
