Psychology of Beliefs Based Upon Materialism

Contributed by His Eminence, El-Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani Tuesday, 18 November 1997

The Church of Matter replaced the Church of Divinity of Man; whereas the western people were wandering in darkness for the past seventeen centuries, the materialists came and replaced the Church of the vicars of Christ and installed themselves in its place. They too have their apostles such as Galileo, Darwin, and Freud. If one were to investigate their so-called laws and theories, one would find that they contradict each other, the same way that if you believed in the account of John you had to refute that of Luke. Similarly, all the theories invented by the fathers of materialism are incompatible with each other.

Galileo placed the sun in the center of the solar system, but he could not explain why the pole star, being fixed, is always seen in the north. Nor can any of his disciples give any plausible explanation that while the earth is orbiting around the sun, why the geostatic satellites always stay at a fixed place in relation to a fixed position on the earth.

Similarly, there are many gaps and contradictions in the theory of Darwin. Like Paul, Darwin wanted us to have blind belief in his hypothetical explanation that somewhere in a deep sea, somehow some elements got together and due to some chemical reaction, they became amoebae. One couldn't ask for an encore.

Freud, an established cocaine addict and pervert, who suffered from seizures, was an atheist who viewed the word through his Jewish myopic eyes, which were more than tainted with the experiences of a bitter childhood, chronic night frights, and perversions. Paul denied Almighty religiously, then Freud denied the soul scientifically, although he claimed to heal maladies of the psyche (the soul).

The materialists who deny Almighty and His Immutable Laws, morality, and justice, waged a war against the organized social structure of society, and in turn gave people a lot of freedom to do whatever they liked. Whereas the priests of the Church of Pauline religion (now called Christianity) destroyed law and instead introduced "love," they claimed that all sins would be forgiven if the people went to them and confessed. This device was created to control men and oppress them. However, the priests could not mitigate the evil which accompanies forbidden acts such as intoxication, adultery, or murder, and when Almighty punished them for their misdeeds, the priests burnt the "sinners" or ostracized them.

Therefore, perversion, masochism, adultery, intoxication, Satanism, albeit part of the society, and even some priests have acknowledged the right of the people to engage themselves in these heinous activities, in the name of "freedom" and "love." This justification by authoritative figures of the society cannot and will never be able to remove the evil consequences of the major mental disorders, and crimes against the society are wages of sin.

Almighty Allah is being denied religiously and materially since the time of Jesus son of Mary. He has been denied by those who propound the theory of evolution, denying Almighty’s miraculous creation of our father, Adam. Almighty is denied by those who claim Mary had a husband, and thus was born Jesus. He is denied by those scientists who claim the universe came into existence accidentally, and by those who deny the Ten Commandments or fail to uphold them, the first and foremost of which is "Hear ye, O’ Israel, Thy LORD GOD IS ONE." The fact is that all those who attribute divinity to any other than Almighty are pagans, while those who deny Him on a "scientific" basis are of very inferior intelligence, less than that of animals, which indeed know their Creator, and glorify Him every morning and

evening.

I quote here an example of a Bedouin who went to Hazrat Ali (may Allah bless his countenance), and inquired of him regarding some proofs of existence of Almighty God—Allah. Hazrat Ali (the son-in-law of the Holy Messenger) replied, "Suppose there was a very huge lake of blue water, and every day at a fixed time and from a fixed place a boat sailed from its eastern shore, thus reaching a fixed place on the western shore. Will you then believe that the boat has no sailor?" The Bedouin replied, "No, of course not." Hazrat Ali continued, "Then look up into the blue sky and behold that every morning at a fixed time and place the Sun appears, and reaches its fixed destination at a fixed time. That is the boat of Allah, and Allah controls it." The Bedouin thereby fell down in prostration, saying, "I believe in Allah, I believe."

There is yet another story about a desert dweller (Bedouin) when someone inquired of him, "Do you believe in Almighty?" He replied, "Yes, because when I see camel droppings in the desert, I know that a camel has gone that way." By that he meant that when one beholds wonders of Almighty’s Creation all around oneself, then one ought to acknowledge that there is indeed a Creator behind it all: an Intelligent, Wise, Just, Ever-Vigilant, Regulator of Affairs, Cherisher—The One and Only One, because each and every form and thing and entity follows a universal design and purpose.

If you examine the skeletons of a toad, rabbit, even birds, monkeys, and human beings, you will notice that all have one common basic design. Be observing that in no time, using only common sense you will realize that there is only One Creator, Designer, and Architect. Examine the structure of an atom and compare it to our own earth’s solar system. Inevitably, you will discover the same design has been repeated. The logical conclusion of such a discovery is to acknowledge that there is only one creating, living Genius, Who has created everything from the tiniest atom to the cosmos and even beyond. If one applies common sense, one would arrive at one and the same conclusion:

"That there is perfection and purpose in all what the Almighty has created, and acknowledge and understand this is the purpose of every man, as well as the purpose of true religion—to inform every individual about the almighty creator, his purpose for creating, and the goal He has established for mankind."

Ironically, the materialists are prepared to believe that Mona Lisa’s painting has a creator, but not that the painter himself was created (rather that man "evolved" from a monkey). The materialist is prepared to believe that his house was constructed by a builder, but not that the blue canopied house (earth) has been built by a Master Architect. A materialist is prepared to believe that his watch was designed by someone, and he depends on it although it does not function perfectly in giving time, but he is not prepared to believe that the Sun and Moon, which regulate his entire world in time and movement, has been created by some Intelligent and Wise Creator.

I am writing these few words regarding the fallacy of beliefs of the Church and materialists because by believing in such irrational, unscientific dogmas a very peculiar type of mentality is developed, which is totally incapable of facing psychological or mental stress. For those who believe in these teachings, life becomes a burden, and meaningless. Therefore, indulgence in intoxicants, be they drugs or alcohol, acts of perversion and adultery, only appear as straws on an endless sea of waywardness. These lost and depressed people cling to these in efforts to stay afloat, but only to find themselves being drawn deeper into a fathomless abyss of destruction.

Therefore, it is better to face the facts, acknowledge the existence of one Almighty Creator, Who is Just, Merciful, Everliving; Ever-Hearing, and He alone hears the supplication of every supplicant; The Creator who made everything to

serve mankind, and created man for Himself, to serve as His viceroy. Every true, believing man who follows Almighty’s Laws is His viceroy. He is neither begotten, no begets. He is alone, and has no partners, and the doors of His Forgiveness are open to all except those who attribute partners unto Him, as He has commanded: "Thy Lord God is One."

The sins of no one can transcend His Mercy and Forgiveness, as he has said so. He is the Lord of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus Son of Mary, and of Muhammad, the Last of all His Messengers.

O reader, I am not giving you a sermon no is this a religious book; rather, I have used simple language to allow you to reach a logical conclusion based solely upon common sense. If only mankind suffering on account of false beliefs, be helped!

I can give hundreds of logical arguments which contradict the beliefs of the Church and the materialists, and last but not the least, I say that why should you believe in a god to whom there is attached so much controversy, myth, and superstition? Why should you believe in materialism, which teaches you that your world is the result of an accident, you evolved from a monkey, and that every violation of moral and social values is permissible? When evil consequences of these acts begin to register upon your psychological, mental, and physical aspects, your priests and scientists are unable to help you.

It is a pity that the priesthood of the West has shown so much arrogance and ignorance that it is becoming more difficult to convince westerners of a very simple thing—the falsehood has bent his mind in such a way that anything emanating from other cultures they view with suspicion, indifference and arrogance. The fact is that they themselves, need help immediately. There are some individuals who know the remedies of some horrible mental and physical diseases, and they are forced to volunteer their expertise by virtue of their pangs of conscience. For one who knows the remedy of the ill of a dying person yet helps him not, he is less than a beast. Similarly, anyone who helps a person to destroy himself, urging him to sinful acts and violations of the Law of Almighty, he is worse than a beast.

To help, understand, and love one another is the major purpose of Almighty in creating mankind. He is not just the God of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, but He is God Almighty, Allah of ALL. His Ten Commandments are a universal set of laws that are the common heritage of the three major world religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The priests have broken this Law and now cannot save anyone from the consequences of evil deeds. One of the most heinous sins which can be committed is the act of a man going to a man, because in doing so he wastes the seed which Almighty created to promulgate the very existence of Man, whom he created superior to all other beings. When such a sin is committed even the earth trembles with fear and a tremendous reaction is registered in all the worlds. It is a crime committed not only against Almighty, but against mankind and society, and its perpetrator is immediately punished.

The Bible, although interpolated, contains the account of the dire consequences of homosexuality that was the fashion of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gamorrah. We also read in the Holy Qur’an how the entire city was destroyed; homes upturned, citizens pelted with stones thrown from the skies, until no one was spared save a few pious individuals who escaped beforehand. "Sodom" and "Gamorrah" are still recognized as cursed names in most of the languages of the world, but sadly, the practices of these accursed people are not condemned widely enough. The Wrath of the same Almighty as befell those ancient sinners is falling upon perverts today in the shape of AIDS and major incurable mental disorders.

I state this category and with authority, because since 1400 years, no practicing Muslim has ever suffered from mental diseases or AIDS. This is a fact that very few western researches will be prepared to investigate, as most will not "want to believe in religion."
