in the grave, none <strong>of</strong> the cells or elements become nonexistent.<br />

Decaying <strong>of</strong> the body means organic molecules making up the<br />

body being decomposed into smaller molecules, like carbon<br />

dioxide, ammonia, water and free nitrogen with the influence <strong>of</strong><br />

earth and anaerobic micro-organisms. This decomposition is a<br />

physico-chemical event. Today, it is known with certainty that<br />

matter does not cease to exist during chemical and physical<br />

reactions. The French chemist (and physician) Lavoisier, who<br />

lived in the 16th century, proved through experimentation that<br />

matter is neither annihilated nor created from nothing during<br />

chemical reactions. He supposed that everything could only<br />

happen through chemical reactions and by chemical laws and<br />

thus stated, “In nature, nothing is created and nothing can be<br />

annihilated.” Today, newly discovered information about<br />

nucleus and nuclear reactions show that matter converts into<br />

energy and disappears, thus proving Lavoisier was wrong.<br />

Today, scientists clearly see that further advancement in science,<br />

new discoveries, and inventions add new strength to <strong>Islam</strong>ic<br />

religion and refute the slanders <strong>of</strong> enemies <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong> and destroy<br />

and disgrace the atheists who worship matter. Unfortunately,<br />

however, there are some religiously ignorant university<br />

graduates who exploit their precarious smattering <strong>of</strong> scientific<br />

knowledge as a tool and the recent scientific retardation in the<br />

Muslim world as a ground for the hostile campaign they wage<br />

against <strong>Islam</strong>. These infidels with diplomas try to mislead the<br />

younger generations by saying such lies as, “<strong>Islam</strong> is<br />

backwardness. It prevents progress. Christians are making<br />

progress. They are inventing all sorts <strong>of</strong> scientific and<br />

technological vehicles. Their new inventions in the areas <strong>of</strong><br />

medicine, defense, and communication are dazzling our eyes.<br />

Muslims are not aware <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> these advancements in science<br />

and technology. We have to follow Christians.” They encourage<br />

youngsters to desert their beautiful <strong>Islam</strong>ic morals and Muslim<br />

brotherhood and follow the Europeans and Americans. They<br />

say that following them means progress. They try to make<br />

youngsters irreligious and inimical to <strong>Islam</strong> like themselves and<br />

thus try to lead them to disasters. In reality, <strong>Islam</strong> commands us<br />

to make progress in science and technology. Christians and all<br />

other disbelievers do what they have learned from their<br />

forefathers and masters. They add small modifications to the<br />

things they learned from their fathers and do them again. If their<br />
