The Proof of Prophethood

vicious enemy of Islam, who has no share in knowledge except a
title, certainly cannot cover up this fact. The sun cannot be
plastered with sticky mud.
2 — “It is necessary,” he says, “to rescue the State from the
fetter of religion. To catch up with contemporary Western
civilization, establishment of a real secular system is required.”
Answer: In Islam, completely liberal, democratic States based
upon knowledge, morals, righteousness and justice have been
established. It protects the State against being a plaything in the
hands of political swindlers. Capitalists, dictators and servants of
communism deem such a free regime as a chain, a fetter impeding
their own acts of cruelty, torture and immorality. Murderers,
thieves and dishonest people see justice and criminal codes as
chains put on themselves. There is no need to describe the
ignorance and idiocy of a disbeliever who uses secularism as a
means for expressing his enmity against the religion and who tries
to demolish Islam under the camouflage of secularism. What this
man wants is not the separation of the religion from the State, but
the destruction of the religion. It is obvious that a blockhead who
expects the nations’ or the States’ progress not from knowledge,
science, hard work and morals, but instead from the destruction of
Islam, which represents all these virtues, and who longs for the
West’s immorality, obscenity and egoism, is devoid of not only
wisdom and knowledge but also of morals.

philosophy of contentment, they expect to turn individuals into a
passive state of not demanding their own rights. With the pretext

slavery and the next world believed in by the people. Contentment
is a euphemism for exploitation. Followers of Islam propagate this
exploitation.”
Answer: There could be few phrases as absurd as the phrase
“Islam’s philosophy of contentment.” We have explained what
philosophy means in Endless Bliss and clarified that there is no
philosophy in Islam. Such an incorrect phrase shows that the
person who uses it knows nothing of Islam or philosophy and that
he, by memorizing a number of phrases without being aware of
their meanings, makes up many words in order to spread his
enmity towards Islam. For centuries the enemies of Islam have
been disguising themselves as religious men and have been
perpetrating their attacks behind such a mask. But today they
attack under the guise of being the master of a profession or art
