TEN PRINCIPLES OF ISLAM

sciences have shown that the law of entropy applies to our world. That means that in submission to this law, the world is irrevocably moving towards its end: a day will come when it will be extinct. In the twenty-first century further research has been carried out which demonstrates that this period of the world’s demise has come very close. Now it is believed that within fifty years all those resources will be destroyed with the help of which the supposed material paradise was being constructed. In other words, soon those ‘causes’ will no longer be there, on the basis of which the plans for a material paradise were conceived. Darwinism or Evolution For thousands of years man believed that all living species, including man, were created by God—that it was the Lord of the world who brought into existence all the living species by directly creating them. But Charles Darwin (d. 1802) supposedly managed to find a ‘cause’ here as well. According to him, this cause—‘natural selection’—was responsible for bringing into existence all living species. That is, in the biological process, for various physical causes, many living species continued to evolve one from another. That is to say, all living species, including man, were brought into existence by a material cause rather than a non-material God. Consciously or unconsciously, people began to regard the concept of cause and effect as a substitute for God. This ‘cause’ discovered by Darwin has never been scientifically proven. It was only a supposition. Furthermore, even biologists have given it the status of a working hypothesis rather than an established fact. Charles Darwin himself had doubts about this theory in the last stage of his life. That is why he died in a state of frustration. In spite of this flaw, Darwin’s theory found general acceptance in modern academic circles. Even today this unsubstantiated theory is taught in universities all over the world. Marxism Another such example is provided by Marxism. Karl Marx (d. 1883) tried to apply this principle to the field of social economy. He inde­ pendently constructed the theory that the cause of the revolutionary
