devised many false religions of complex description assembling them
all under the heading: New Age.
Their purpose in this is to inculcate in that large segment of
people who are abandoning materialist ideas, a new way of living
and thinking. They want to establish a new system ornamented with
metaphysical language and totally divergent from the true religion
and faith in Allah (God) as revealed in the Qur'an. It is an
irresponsible system with nothing to offer.
Many people are seeking for religion and atheist Masons offer them a
number of options all contained within the compass of their
perverse ideas. And for every false religion they offer false gods
to replace Allah (Surely Allah is beyond that).
In order to alienate people in Islamic countries from true
religion, atheist Masons are intent on offering the idea of
intelligent design as the most appropriate alternative in these
countries.
Of course, they do not pretend that what they are doing is against
Islam; on the contrary, they claim that their activities are
innocent and even serve to strengthen the foundations of faith in
Allah. It is amazing that, in Islamic countries, they include Islamic
terms and ideas—however unwillingly—to their doctrine of
intelligent design. In this way they try to conceal their real
intentions and prevent objections from Muslims.
They employ the classic atheist Masonic method of slow and gradual
indoctrination and bringing the light slowly to sleepy eyes. Without
revealing their purpose, they want to draw people into their
superstitious religion.
However, Western supporters of this movement confess that this is a
non-religious system of thought. For example, the American
biologist, Michael Behe, one of the noted theoreticians of
intelligent design, explains that intelligent design is not an idea
based in religion but religious people can make good use of it in
their arguments.
Those who accept the theory of intelligent design insist that
religion and science should be separate and that science should not
support creation and revealed religions.
They see themselves as outside revealed religions; they think that
religion is a matter of faith and outside the parameters of science.
Their view is that it would be wrong for science to rely on
religion. The official internet site of the Discovery Institute that
represents this movement asks the question. 'Is the theory of
intelligent design the same as the theory of creation?' The answer:
Unlike creationism, the scientific theory of intelligent design is
agnostic regarding the source of design and has no commitment to
defending Genesis, the Bible or any other sacred text. (

uestionsAboutIntelligent Design)
One of the focuses of theperverse belief systems that atheist Masons
havemodeled along the lines of the New Age movement is intelligent
design which has gottena lot of media attention lately. This movement
supports the theory that everything in the universe is the work of
intelligent design. This theory does not accept the existence of Allah
or the fact that He created everything saying that these ideas have
nothing to do with science. They deliberately do not mention the name
of Allah.
Their purpose is, given the fact that materialism and the theory of
evolution (its imagined scientific support) have lately suffered an
irremediable reverse, to offer people a spiritual quest on various
perverse paths to follow;their goal to direct people away from
revealed religions, especially Islam.
Atheist Masons employ the classic atheist Masonic method of slow and
gradual indoctrination and bringing the light slowlyto sleepy eyes.
Without revealing their purpose, they want to draw people into their
superstitious religion.
The Theory of IntelligentDesign: Another Kind of Deism.
The theory of intelligent design accepts neither revealed religions
nor the existence of Allah. Ithas an abstract and abstruse concept
of a designer.
It is interesting that atheist Masons use the same logic in their
writings when they say that the universe is like the intelligent
designer-total conscious energy. They say this energy is conscious and
that it is the Great Architect of theUniverse.
But atheist Masons insist that that this conscious energy is not
Allah. (Surely Allah is beyond that) We can see that advocates of
intelligent design share the same logic as atheist Masons when it
comes to explaining their position. Their ideas are very much in tune
with Deism, which accepts theexistence of a Creator while rejecting
the validity of revealed religions.
Throughout history there have been several philosophers who have
called themselves deists and believed in Allah butnot in religion or
revelation. Some well-known deists were Heraclitus, Descartes,
Voltaire and Leibnitz. Moreover, the fact that Voltaire was a known
atheist Mason recognized for his antipathy toward Islam, and Descartes
was a Templar and a atheist Mason of high degree is enough to
demonstrate the Masonic roots of Deism.
While atheist Masons accept the existence of aGreat Architect, they do
not see the need for revealed religions. The founders of the
intelligent design movement, though they accept the existence of
adesigner, do not accept religion; their idea is that you do not have
to be religious to accept this theory. We can see that the supporters
of the theory of intelligent design are not different from Deist
philosophers. Deists have throughout history either openly or in
secret fought against the religion commandedby Allah; they may have
changed their names butthey are basically just supporting the same old
perverse logic.
Respect and Honor are in Islam
A Muslim may sincerely believe in the theory of intelligent design
espousing it as being useful to Islam. But this is a serious error.
Persisting in this error will eventually cause thisperson to honor the
creature more than the Creator. Therefore it is very dangerous for a
Muslim to get involved ina movement about which he knows nothingand of
whose content heis ignorant.
Allah warns believers against falling into such an error:
Do not pursue what you have no knowledge of. Hearing, sight and
hearts will all be questioned. (Surat al- Isra', 36)
One of the most interesting things about those who accept the
theory of intelligent design is that, although they claim to be
Muslims, they do not revere the name of Allah. Instead of saying
that Allah has created the whole universe both animate and
inanimate, they opt for a more abstruse expression such as there is
intelligent design in the universe. Scientists in the West who
espouse this theory admire the style of an intellectual philosopher
and try to imitate it.
There is a very good reason why such people deliberately refrain
from mentioning the name of Allah: they cannot understand the
essence of religion and so they cannot experience faith deep in
their hearts. Since they cannot appreciate the subtle spirit of the
Qur'an, the model of Islam they have invented in their minds is
quite different from the Islam described in the Qur'an and the
understanding of religion that genuinely exalts Allah.
A faithful Muslim admires the character of those blessed prophets
whose exploits are described in the Qur'an and takes his example
from holy individuals. A person with a mind that cannot properly
appreciate religious morality and the power of Allah, admires
instead a smattering of Western intellectuals, philosophers,
thinkers, scientists and educators whose style they attempt to
imitate.
This attitude is tantamount to saying I don't like the style of the
prophets in the way they delivered their message; there's a
deficiency in it. Of course, such an attitude is totally opposite
to Allah's book and the attitude of a faithful Muslim who believes
in the prophets.
As a result of this way of thinking, being known for one's Muslim
character would be avoided at all costs by such an individual.
But being ashamed to mention the name of Allah is not something
that Islam condones. Neither our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace) nor his companions practiced religion in this way.
They all practiced proper, religious morality as taught in the
Qur'an and explained it to others. In this way, past prophets and
their followers practiced religious morality perfectly.
Being ashamed of religion, rejecting the true path and seeking
honor, glory and respect elsewhere will bring nothing but
humiliation:
Who would deliberately renounce the religion of Ibrahim except
someone who reveals himself to be a fool? We chose him [Ibrahim] in
this world and in the Hereafter he will be one of the righteous.
(Surat al-Baqara, 130)
In the Qur'an, Allah severely condemns being inclined to
unbelievers and thus making the slightest compromise with the
morality of the religion: They were very near to enticing you away
from some of what We have revealed to you, hoping that you would
invent something against Us. Then they would have taken you as
their intimate. If We had not made you firm, you would have leaned
towards them a little. Then We would have let you taste a double
punishment in life and a double punishment in death. You would not
have found any helper against Us.
Those who do not make the Qur'an their guide and do not fear Allah
in their hearts will not understand why Muslims continually remember
Allah . (Surat al-Isra', 73-75)
They do not feel the necessity for doing this and, from their own
intellectual point of view; they belittle the submission of
believers to Allah and their loyalty to Allah and the Prophet.
The Lord tells us in the Qur'an about this point of view.
When they are told, 'Believe in the way that the people believe,'
they say, 'What! Are we to believe in the way that fools believe?'
No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it. (Surat
al-Baqara, 13)
In another verse, the Lord says that only those who obey the Qur'an
and fear Allah will be able to receive advice.
You can only warn those who act on the Reminder and fear the
All-Merciful in the Unseen. Give them the good news of forgiveness
and a generous reward. (Surah Yasin, 11)
Those who do not feel this fear of Allah, and do not try as hard as
they can to fear Him will never be able to understand the eternal
wisdom of the Qur'an. An intellectual may enjoy the respect of his
community for his knowledge and high level of culture. But these
achievements will have value only when they are used for the good
of Islam. The reason why someone hesitates to revere the name of
Allah and uses his knowledge to promote superstitious ideas may be
because he wants to win the friendship and respect of people who
have rejected Allah and Islam.
This shallow and anti-religious behavior may well win them the
respect they are seeking but it will certainly not be acceptable in
Allah's sight. The Lord says in the Qur'an:
Do those who take the disbelievers as protectors, rather than the
believers, hope to find power and strength with them? Power and
strength belong entirely to Allah. (Surat an-Nisa', 139)
In the Qu'ran, Allah tells us about those who reject Islam and
choose to follow other paths.
If the truth were to follow their whims and desires, the heavens and
the Earth and everyone in them would have been brought to ruin. No
indeed! We have given them their Reminder, but they have turned
away from it. (Surat al-Muminun, 71)
As we said earlier, at the root of the theory of intelligent design
there is an illogical presupposition that there must be a
separation between religion and science. For this reason, to accept
Islamic morality openly and believe in the existence of Allah will
draw objections and criticism from theoreticians of intelligent
design who have no belief in Allah or religion.
Therefore, the use of science to prove the unity of Allah and that
Islam is a revealed religion would be ridiculed by the main
proponents of this theory as well as by other intellectuals.
Therefore, a Muslim will not compromise on reverencing the name of
Allah and defending Islam even if doing so would win him the whole
world in return. This is because he is aware that being a Muslim
brings him true honor.
