1a] Ramadan 2012, The 30th Day

1a]
A model of society in which people are forced toworship is completely contradictory to Islam. Belief and worship are only of any value when they are directed to Allah by the free will of the individual. If a system imposes belief and worship on people, then they will become religious out of fear of that system. From the religious point ofview, what really counts is that religion should be lived for Allah’s good pleasure in an environment where peoples’ consciences are totally free.
Because some people do not know these facts or due to misinformation, they may have some erroneous opinions about Islam. However when theylearn and experience that Islam is instrumental in approaching people with love and respect as well asnot presenting any threat to modernization, freedomof faith and thought, they will, by Allah’s leave, put aside these attitudes and thoughts. In one verse of the Qur’an, our All Mighty Lord of infinite mercy relates thus:
“Say: ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always boundto vanish. (Surat al-Isra’, 81)
The Invalidity Of The ClaimThat ''Evolution Has Nothing To Do With Chance''
One of the issues that Darwinists have recently taken to espousing is the claim that “evolution has nothing to do with chance.” This claim, proposed with the incomprehensible and specious idea that “everything happened randomly, but that does not mean by chance,” serves no other purpose than to reveal how illogical Darwinists’ claims are.
- This claim, developed as a defense mechanism, was raised after everyone had realized how illogical the word chance was.
- It reflects Darwinists’ embarrassment over that idea.
- Because if Darwinists admit that fact, then everyone will realize that they are espousing the nonsensical idea that all the extraordinary complexity in living things came about by chance. Unwilling to suffer such embarrassment, Darwinists have sought a way out by saying, “we make no such claim.”
- They are trying to avoid this embarrassment by producing other words that mean exactly the same thing as chance. They are trying to give theimpression that they are making a more logical statement my using terms such as “random” instead.
- When asked, “if it is not chance, then what is it?” they again end up referring to chance from a more roundabout route.
- When they reject the idea of chance, Darwinists must admit the existence of a consciousness. But Darwinists reject any conscious intervention andconscious creation. In that case, what they espouse must therefore only be unconscious and chance phenomena. Anything elsewould be illogical.
Embarrassed by their claimof chance, Darwinists maintain that natural selection, a conscious mechanism, is responsible. But it is unclear to whom that consciousness belongs. They are ascribingconsciousness to nature here. If what Darwinists mean by nature is the ideology of naturalism, that falsely deifies nature, then they are clearly adopting another pagan religion.
- By saying this, Darwinists are trying to deceive people into thinking that nature has intelligence and the abilityto distinguish between truth and falsehood and toforesee the future. They are ascribing a power to it by referring to natural selection. The fact is, however, that nature is a single whole made up of stones, soil, trees, mountains, gravel etc. There is of course no possibility of these being able to select anything in the best and most perfect manner. This is therefore just another improper element of Darwinist demagoguery.
Darwinists reject the idea of a consciousness at any stage in their claims, because they would otherwise have to accept the existence of Almighty Allah. They therefore have to espouse a lack of consciousness, in other words, chance.
Our Prophet’s (Saas) Addresses To Hazrat Mahdi(As)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the peacock (adornment) of the Paradise. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol 51, p. 105)
Hazrat Mahdi (as), one of my children, comes into being, by the blessing of Allah, upon the approach of the Day of Judgment; the weakening of the believers' hearts because of death, hunger, fitnah and the disappearance of the Sunnah; and the emergence of innovations and the loss of means by which to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong. His justice and prosperity will ease the believers' hearts, and friendship and love will settle between the non-Arab and the Arab nations. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 66)
Imam Hussain (as)'is reported as saying: “When Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears, people will not recognize him. Then HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL COME HAVING A BEAUTIFUL VISAGE...” (Iqdud Durar, p. 41)
