The Islamic belief is the only correct solution to Man's fundamental problem

Part 4 - People believe in Ignorance

It has become the trend to get on with life and not bother to ask the question whether there is a God or not. It is not surprising that people find it easy to believe that the existence or God is a myth, simply because they have never thought deeply about the idea.

The commonest answer is that "We don't know - and we don't care", and that people believe in living in this ignorance (or jahilliyah, as they say in Arabic).

People say:

Throughout the ages, Man has tried to answer that question and that no-one knows the answer.
No-one has been beyond this life and then returned to tell us what is there.
There is no evidence for any belief about what this life is about and so, no-one can know for sure, or with certainty, why we are here, or what comes after this life.

So in the mean time, until the scientists work it out, that we should do whatever we like to do. It's a fact that we have needs and desires and so we should make the point of this life to fulfil these needs and desires the best we can.
