Professor Koktel's Reaction to the Death of an Atheist Physicist

The reactions to the death of an atheist physicist over the past two days reveal the extent of the distortion (I couldn't find a gentler word than this to truly express the problem)... the psychological, intellectual, and ideological distortion that has accumulated in the minds of some of us who belong to the nation of Muhammad (peace be upon him), which needs to be untangled before treatment. I will review these distortions (let's soften the term by calling them problems) through a dialogue with Professor "Koktel," who is indeed a cocktail of problems!... and under each paragraph of the dialogue, we will explain the type of problem that his words express: - Koktel: "May God have mercy on the late great physicist of humanity" - Oh man! How can you show mercy to an infidel? - Koktel: Your excommunication is what brought calamity and backwardness to our nation.

1. The problem: Koktel's psyche is governed by complexes from distorted practices, causing him to lose balance in thinking and taking positions, leading him to extremism in the opposite direction! - Koktel: It is fair to the man...

2. The problem: The eagerness to appear fair and "humane" with a false secular definition, not an Islamic one governed by the values of truth and justice. - Koktel continues: It is fair to the man to appreciate his great scientific achievements that he presented to humanity.

3. The problem: The materialistic view that evaluates people with purely material criteria, not taking into account the good or bad use of scientific achievements to achieve the purpose of human existence: worshiping God and cultivating the earth with what He loves, glorified be He. - What exactly did this physicist contribute? - Koktel: "The Theory of Everything, and other theories" - What does the Theory of Everything mean? - Koktel: What?! I don't know, but it's clear that it's something important in the world of physics.

4. The problem: Absolute trust in Western media and elevating them without knowing why they were elevated! And the desire to follow in the footsteps of Western icons to appear "smart" like them! - Koktel: What did the Muslims contribute in return? Nothing but backwardness and infighting and..and..

5. The problem: Shame in belonging to the Islamic nation and ignorance of the existence of great scientific and charitable figures within it that the media does not highlight! - Koktel: Regardless of religious standards, I praise him from a human perspective.

6. The problem: Considering religion "one" of the faces of evaluating principles, people, and ideas, and that there are standards outside of religion, meaning that religion is not the absolute ruler over everything! - Oh man! But God Almighty said: (And those who denied Our signs and were arrogant toward them—those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein) - Koktel: "He exerted effort, and this is what his knowledge led him to.. we cannot assume he knew the truth and was arrogant toward it or followed his desires"

7. The problem: Having good thoughts about atheists that they seek the great issues with objectivity and a desire to know the truth, while having bad thoughts about God that He made the greatest truth, which is His existence, a hidden matter that may not appear to the seeker of truth!! - Oh man, I tell you he disbelieved in God and called others to disbelieve in God, and because of him, many people became atheists. - Koktel: On the other hand, he presented great theories to humanity in the world of physics.

8. The problem: Trivializing the rights of God Almighty!! - How can you seek forgiveness for him and call for mercy upon him when God Almighty has affirmed in many verses that disbelievers will never enter Paradise, saying: (And those who disbelieved in the signs of God and His meeting—those have despaired of My mercy) (So when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to God, he dissociated himself from him) - Koktel: "This is your understanding of the texts.

9. The problem: Considering the clear, decisive texts open to interpretations completely opposite to them, making the Quranic text meaningless altogether! - Okay, and what do you say about the hadith narrated by Bukhari that Abu Talib, who supported the Prophet's call and did not call to atheism like your friend, yet God forbade His Prophet to seek forgiveness for him, saying: (It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives) - Koktel: There are issues with Bukhari, don't cite Bukhari's hadiths to me. 10. The problem: Doubting what the nation has agreed upon in general, which makes one feel contempt for the nation's scholars and intellectuals over fourteen centuries, in contrast to being in awe of the "intellectuals" of the West and having absolute trust in them! The conclusion: Our enemies have succeeded over the years in building a defeated personality, ashamed of itself, its nation, and its identity, in awe of the white master and everything that comes from him, having bad thoughts about their Lord, lacking in glorifying Him, doubting their religion and its sources of knowledge, losing the adherence to the decisive verses of the Quran, looking at themselves and their history through the eyes of their enemies, obsessed with defending themselves from the accusation of extremism even by denying what is necessarily known in religion. And to whoever wants to solve the problem of Koktel, they must consider all of this, deconstruct these problems, and solve them one by one, for the matter is much, much bigger than just offering condolences! Note: Professor "Koktel".. I wrote this article as advice to you and out of concern for you, so that you may understand yourself, not to mock you or urge anyone to judge your intentions... so please, think about the words calmly.. (And all of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection, alone).
