The Bunkum Skeleton Theories – A Product of Moron Evolutionists

[Majlisul Ulama]

Man  appeared  on  the  scene  of  existence  by  the spontaneous  creation  of  Allah  Ta’ala.  It  did  not  take  him  trillions  of  years to evolve  from  some speck  of  stupidity  into  a baboon  and  from  the  baboonic  stage  some  more  millions  of  years  lapsed before  man  supposedly  became  man  as  he  is  known today.

The  theories  of  the  atheists  dwelling  in  the  limbo  of  baboonism  are  bunkum  which  only  those  suffering  from  the  disease of  baboonism  swallow. All  the  theories  of  the  baboonic  evolutionists  are riddled  with  flaws,  incongruencies  and  downright stupidities.  It  is  difficult  to understand  how  men  supposedly  in  possession  of brains  can  descend  into  the dregs  of  ignorance  and  stupidity  to  formulate  and  believe  theories  which  are  an insult  to  the  intelligence  of even  insane  people.  The following  report  is  merely  one  small  recent  account  of  the  stupidity  and  bunkum  of  the atheists:

Debate  rages  on  over  age  of  skeleton

LITTLE  Foot‚  the  skeleton of  Australopithecus  Africanus  found  in  the  Cradle of  Mankind  in  1980‚  is  in  the  spotlight  again  for  its mysterious  age,  which  has  flummoxed  researchers  for  two  decades.

In  2015‚  after  many  estimates  had  been  published‚ Little  Foot,  believed  to  be  an  early  ancestor  of  humans,  was  dated  at  3.67 million  years  old.

But  a  paper  published  today  says  that  Little  Foot cannot  be  older  than  2.8 million  years.

In  1980‚  four  small  ankle bones  were  found  and  then  the  rest  of  the  skeleton  painstakingly  uncovered.  – Tanya  Farber

The Origins of Free-Masonry and its Evils in Today’s World

By Adnan Oktar

This article examines the foundations of the philosophy of Freemasonry, one of the world’s most secret organizations, and reveals what lies behind Masonic rituals, ceremonies and superstitious beliefs. The research shows that the Kabbalah, which occupies an important place in Judaic belief, is also important in Masonic belief and practice. However, as with our other books on the subject, it will be useful to remember one important truth in evaluating the information revealed by statements appearing in Masons’ own reference sources, work by historians and investigators, and various documents: Masons’ misinterpretation of certain information in the Kabbalah in the light of their own interests stems from their own prejudice and flawed perspective. Judaic belief and practice is not responsible for the false Masonic interpretation. The criticism made when considering the connection between Freemasonry and Kabbalistic teaching is not, therefore, aimed at Judaic belief.




and not associate any partners with Him
and not take one another as lords besides Allah.” … 
(Surah Al ‘Imran: 64)

An Important Statement about Judaism, Zionism and Freemasonry





The Zionist belief held by a devout Jew and, as described above, based on the Torah does not conflict with Islam. It is revealed in the Qur’an that Allah has settled the Children of Israel in that region:

(Surat al-Ma’ida: 20-21)



Relations between sincere and devout Jews and Muslims must exist within a framework of affection, respect and compassion. That is because this is the moral values and behavior that Allah reveals to Muslims in the Noble Qur’an and that the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) shows us through his own life.

The People of the Book in the Qur’an

In the Qur’an, Allah presents Jews and Christians as the People of the Book, as well as explaining to Muslims in detail how their attitude towards them should be. The People of the Book are aware of the lawful and the forbidden, and base their moral practices on Divine inspiration from Allah. According to the morality preached in the Qur’an, and the practices of our Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), it is required that Muslims treat believing Jews and Christians with love, care, compassion, and respect. The call of Muslims to Jews and Christians is revealed thus in the Qur’an:



We All Love and Respect the Same Prophets



The Prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Aaron, David, Solomon, John, Jesus, and Moses (alayhissalaam) are as important to Muslims as they are to Jews and Christians.

The respect of Jews for the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam), who is also a Prophet of ours, and their close bonds with him over thousands of years are very important to sincere Muslims. The great love of Christians for the Prophet Jesus (‘Eesa alayhissalaam) and their heartfelt attachment to him is of similar importance to Muslims. Of course those who feel love and respect for the Prophets Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael, Abraham, Lot, Ayyub, Moses, Jesus and John (alayhimussalaam) are people for whom naturally Muslims will feel love and affection, and approach with understanding and compassion. Anything opposing this is not possible.

Allah reveals the moral values of those of the People of the Book who genuinely believe as follows in the Qur’an:


The duty of devout Muslims is to embrace people who live by such moral virtues with affection and compassion, and to show them love and understanding. To reiterate, therefore, the Muslim attitude toward the Jews is based on the moral values revealed in the Qur’an and implemented by our Prophet (salllallaahu alayhi wasallam). The revelation of the errors of irreligious, Godless Zionism or various superstitious traditions incompatible with the morality of true faith and the criticism of mistaken practices do not alter that fact.

Freemasonry is a subject that has attracted much discussion for several centuries. Some have accused Masonry of fantastic crimes and misdeeds. Instead of trying to understand “the Brotherhood,” and criticizing it objectively, critics have been unduly hostile to the organization. For their part, Masons have deepened their traditional reticence in the face of these accusations, preferring to present themselves as an ordinary social club—which they are not.

This article contains a correct exposition of Masonry as a school of thought. The most important unifying influence among Masons is their philosophy—which can be best described according to such terms as “materialism” and “secular humanism.” But, it is an errant philosophy based on false suppositions and flawed theories. This is the basic starting-point from which Masonry must be criticized.


We follow the same approach in our criticisms of other communities as well. Like the Jews for example. This article, in part, also deals with the history of Judaism and offers certain important criticisms. It must be pointed out that these have nothing to do with anti-Semitism or “Judeo-Masonic” conspiracy theories. Indeed, anti-Semitism is alien to a true Muslim. Jews are a people that at one time had been chosen by Allah and to whom He sent many prophets. Throughout history they suffered much cruelty, even being subjected to genocide, but they never abandoned their identity. In the Qur’an, Allah calls them, together with Christians, the People of the Book, and enjoins Muslims to treat them kindly and justly. But, a necessary part of this justice is to criticize the errant beliefs and practices of some of them, to show them the path to true righteousness. But of course, their right to live according to what they believe in and desire is beyond question.

Global Freemasonry sets out from this premise, and investigates critically Masonry’s roots, as well as its aims and activities. In this book, the reader will also find a summary of the history of the Masons’ struggle against the morality of theistic religions. Freemasons have played an important role in Europe’s alienation from religious moral values, and in their place, founding of a new order based on the philosophies of materialism and secular humanism. We will also see how Masonry has been influential in the imposition of these dogmas to non-Western civilizations. Finally, we will discuss the methods Masonry has used to help establish and perpetuate a social order based on these dogmas. Their philosophy and the methods they use to establish this philosophy will be exposed and criticized.




From the Templars to Ancient Egypt

The Crusaders




Historians believe Urban II’s venture was prompted by his desire to thwart the candidacy of a rival to the papacy. Furthermore, while European kings, princes, aristocrats and others greeted the pope’s call with excitement, their intentions were basically mundane. As Donald Queller of the University of Illinois put it, “the French knights wanted more land. Italian merchants hoped to expand trade in Middle Eastern ports… Large numbers of poor people joined the expeditions simply to escape the hardships of their normal lives.” Along the way, this greedy mass slaughtered many Muslims, and even Jews, in hopes of finding gold and jewels. The crusaders even cut open the stomachs of those they had killed to find gold and precious stones they may have swallowed before they died. So great was the material greed of the crusaders that they felt no qualms in sacking the Christian city of Constantinople (Istanbul) during the Fourth Crusade, when they stripped off the gold leaf from the Christian frescoes in the Hagia Sophia.

The Crusaders wreaked havoc in Jerusalem. After a long and difficult journey, and much plunder and slaughter of Muslims, this motley band called Crusaders reached Jerusalem in 1099. When the city fell after a siege of nearly five weeks, the Crusaders moved in. They carried out a level of savagery the like of which the world has seldom seen. All Muslims and Jews in the city were put to the sword. In the words of one historian, “They killed all the Saracens and the Turks they found… whether male of female.” One of the Crusaders, Raymond of Aguiles, boasted of this violence:



In two days, the Crusader army killed some 40,000 Muslims in the most barbaric manner. The crusaders then made Jerusalem their capital, and founded a Latin Kingdom stretching from the borders of Palestine to Antioch.



The Templars



Templars developed a pagan faith in Christian guise.

It was the Templars who were mainly responsible for the crusaders’ attacks of and murder of Muslims. For this reason, the great Islamic commander Saladin, who defeated the crusaders’ army in 1187, in the Battle of Hattin, and afterwards rescued Jerusalem, put the Templars to death for the murders they had committed, even though he had otherwise pardoned a large number of Christians. Although they lost Jerusalem, and suffered heavy casualties, the Templars continued to exist. And, despite the continual diminution of the Christian presence in Palestine, they increased their power in Europe and, first in France, and then in other countries, became a state within a state.



Finally, in 1307, the French king Philippe le Bel decided to arrest the members of the order. Some of them managed to escape but most of them were caught. Pope Clement V also joined the purge. Following a long period of interrogation and trial, many of the Templars admitted to heretical beliefs, that they had rejected the Christian faith and insulted the Prophet Jesus (‘Eesa alayhissalaam) in their masses. Finally, the leaders of the Templars, who were called “grand masters,” beginning with the most important of them, Jacques de Molay, were executed in 1314 by order of the Church and the King. The majority of them were put into prison, and the order dispersed and officially disappeared.



The Warriors and the Bankers: A book about the Templars


The wall-builders’ lodge changed its name, at the beginning of the modern era, calling itself the “Masonic lodge.” The Scottish Rite is the oldest branch of Masonry, and dates back to the beginning of the fourteenth century, to those Templars who took refuge in Scotland. And, the names given to the highest degrees in Scottish Rite are titles attributed centuries earlier to knights in the order of Templars. These are still employed to this day.





Today Freemasons use the name Mac Benach with respect. Scottish Masons, who inherited the Templars’ heritage, returned it to France many years later and established there the basis of the rite known as the Scottish Rite.”

Again, Mimar Sinan presents a lot of information about the relationship between the Templars and Freemasonry. In an article entitled, “Templars and Freemasons,” it states that “the rituals of the initiation ceremony of the Order of Templars are similar to those of present-day Freemasonry.” According to the same article, as in Masonry, the members of the Order of the Templars called each other “brother.” Towards the end of the article, we read:



The Templars and the Kabbalah






There are so many pagan decorative elements inside the chapel that a priest, writing an account of the baptism he performed of the Baron of Rosslyn in 1589 complained, “because the chapel is filled with pagan idols, there is no place appropriate to administer the Sacrament. In August 31, 1592, as a result of pressure exerted on Baron Oliver St.Claire of Rosslyn, the chapel’s pagan-style altar was destroyed. (Tamer Ayan, “The Oldest Known Masonic Institution-the Scottish Royal Order,” Mimar Sinan, 1998, No.110, pp.18-19)








According to the common views of many researchers, this “something” was the Kabbalah.



We don’t know clearly where the Kabbalah came from or how it developed. It is the general name for a strange, metaphysically constituted, esoteric and mystical philosophy particularly connected with Jewish religion. It is accepted as Jewish mysticism, but some of the elements it contains show that it was composed much earlier than the Torah.


Traces remain in the Kabbalah, external to Judaism.
These stem from the pagan beliefs of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

The Jewish historian, Theodore Reinach, says that the Kabbalah is “a subtle poison which enters into the veins of Judaism and wholly infests it.” Salomon Reinach defines the Kabbalah as “one of the worst aberrations of the human mind.”


The strange thing is that Judaism is a monotheistic religion, incepted with the revelation of the Torah to the Prophet Moses (Qur’anic Musa alayhissalam). But some have attempted to include in this religion a system that adopts the basic practices of magic which are in fact opposed to religious morality. This substantiates what we have presented above, and demonstrates that some statements in the Kabbalah are actually elements that have entered Judaism from the outside.

But, what is the source of this element?

The Jewish historian Fabre d’Olivet says that it came from Ancient Egypt. According to this writer, the roots of some statements in the Kabbalah stretch back to Ancient Egypt. Some part of the Kabbalah’s teaching is a tradition learned by some of the leaders of the Israelites in Ancient Egypt, and passed down as a tradition by word of mouth from generation to generation.


The Magicians of Ancient Egypt




In the Qur’an, in the story of the Prophet Moses (Nabi Musq alayhissalaam), we are given important information about the Egyptian system. The verses reveal that there were two important focal points of power in Egypt: pharaoh and his inner-council. This council tended to exercise an important influence over pharaoh; Pharaoh would often consult them and, from time to time, follow their suggestions.






They said, “Detain him and his brother and send out marshals to the cities, to bring you all the skilled magicians.” (Surat al-A’raf: 104-112)

It should be noticed that mention here is made of a council that advises Pharaoh, that incites him against the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam), and recommends to him certain methods. If we look at the records of Egyptian history, we see that the two basic components of this council were the Egyptian army of the time and the priests.


The most important supporters of Pharaoh’s regime in Ancient Egypt was the priestly class (magicians). Their beliefs later formed the roots of the Kabbalah and were transmitted from there to Masonry.



How can there be a relationship between the esoteric philosophy of the priests of Ancient Egypt and present-day Freemasons? Ancient Egypt—a classic example in the Qur’an of a godless political system—disappeared thousands of years ago. Can it have any influence today??


The Ancient Egyptian Belief in Materialist Evolution


The “world-view” of Ancient Egypt did not remain buried with these statues, but was carried down to the present day. By those secret societies that see themselves as the heirs of Ancient Egypt…





Now, we have come to an important point in this stage of the article. Let us summarize what we have discovered so far:






Is it possible that Masons, who have made their mark on the world’s history since the eighteenth century, fomenting revolutions, promoting philosophies and political systems, can be the inheritors of the magicians of Ancient Egypt??


The Inside Story on the Kabbalah

Exodus” is the title of the second book of the Torah. This book describes how the Israelites, under the leadership of the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam), left Egypt and escaped the tyranny of Pharaoh. Pharaoh made the Israelites work as slaves and would not consent to set them free. But, when confronted by the miracles Allah performed through the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhisalaam), and the disasters He inflicted on his people, Pharaoh relented. And so, one night the Israelites gathered en masse, and began their emigration from Egypt. Later, Pharaoh attacked the Israelites, but Allah saved them through a further miracle He performed through the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam).

But, it is in the Qur’an that we find the most accurate account of the exodus from Egypt, because the Torah underwent much textual corruption after it was originally revealed to the Prophet Moses ( Musa alayhissalaam). An important proof of this is that in the five books of the Torah—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy—there are many contradictions. The fact that the book of Deuteronomy ends with an account of the death and burial of the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) is indisputable proof that this portion would have to have been added after the Prophet Moses’ (Musa alayhissalaam) death.


The Golden Calf
One of the important facts concerning the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, as related in the Qur’an, is that some of them rebelled against the religion revealed to them by Allah in spite of the fact that Allah had rescued them through the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) from the tyranny of Pharaoh. Some of the Israelites were not able to comprehend the monotheism that the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) communicated to them, but tended continually towards idolatry.

The Qur’an describes this immoral tendency here:



Despite the Prophet Moses’ (Musa alayhissalaam) warnings, some Israelites continued in such perversion, and when the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) left them, to ascend to Mt. Sinai, it manifested itself fully. Taking advantage of the Prophet Moses’ (Musa alayhissalaam) absence, a man by the name of Samiri came forth. He fanned the sparks of some Israelites’ inclination towards idolatry, and persuaded them to fabricate the statue of a calf and worship it.



Then he produced a calf for them, a physical form which made a lowing sound. So they said, “This is your god—and Moses’ god as well, but he forgot.” (Surah Ta Ha: 86-88)

Why was there such a deviant tendency among some Israelites to erect idols and worship them?? What was the source of this inclination??

Clearly, a society that had never before believed in idols would not suddenly adopt such insane behavior as to construct an idol and begin to worship it. Only those for whom idolatry was natural inclination could have believed in such nonsense.

However, the Israelites were a people that had believed in one Allah since the days of their ancestor the Prophet Abraham (Ibraheem alayhissalaam). The name “Israelites” or “the Sons of Israel” was given first to the sons of the Prophet Jacob (Ya’qoob alayhissalaam), the Prophet Abraham’s grandson, and afterwards to the whole Jewish people who derived from him. The Israelites had safeguarded the monotheistic faith that they had inherited from their ancestors the Prophets Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Ibraheem, Is’haaq and Ya’qoob alayhimussalaam). Together with Yusuf alayhissalaam (Joseph), they went into Egypt and preserved their monotheism for a long period of time, despite the fact that they had lived amidst Egyptian idolatry. It is clear from the stories related in the Qur’an that, when the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) came to them, the Israelites were a people that believed in one Allah.




The influence of the Egyptian pagan religion on some Israelites occurred in many different stages. As soon as they had encountered a pagan people, this leaning towards heretical belief appeared and, as the verse maintains, they said “Moses, give us a god just as these people have gods.” (Surat al-A‘raf: 138) What they unwisely said to their Prophet, “Moses, we will not believe in you until we see Allah with our own eyes.” (Surat al-Baqara: 55) reveals that they were inclined to worship a material being that they could see, as their pagan religion provided the Egyptians with.


From Ancient Egypt to the Kabbalah

While the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) was still alive, some Israelites began to create likenesses of the idols they had seen in Egypt and to worship them. After the Prophet Moses (Musa alayhissalaam) passed away, some among them backslid farther into perversity. Of course, the same thing cannot be said of all Jews, but some of them did adopt Egyptian paganism. Indeed, they carried on the false doctrines of Pharaoh’s magicians, that lay at the foundation of that society’s beliefs, and corrupted their own faith by introducing these doctrines into it.


It is evident that the Kabbalah was composed many years before the Torah came into existence. The most important section of the Kabbalah is a theory about the formation of the universe. This theory is very different from the story of creation accepted by theist religions. According to the Kabbalah, at the beginning of creation, things called Sefiroth, meaning “circles” or “orbits,” with both material and spiritual characteristics came into being. The total number of these things was 32. The first ten represented the solar system and the others represented the masses of stars in space. This particularity of the Kabbalah shows that it is closely connected to ancient astrological systems of belief… So, the Kabbalah is far removed from Jewish religion and much more closely related to the ancient mystery religions of the East.





There is a verse in the Qur’an that refers to this topic. Allah says that some Israelites learned satanic sorcery rituals from sources outside their own religion:

They follow what the satans recited in the reign of Solomon. Solomon did not become unbeliever, but the satans did, teaching people sorcery and what had been sent down to Harut and Marut, the two angels in Babylon, who taught no one without first saying to him, “We are merely a trial and temptation, so do not become unbeliever.” People learned from them how to separate a man and his wife but they cannot harm anyone by it, except with Allah’s permission. They have learned what will harm them and will not benefit them. They know that any who deal in it will have no share in the hereafter. What an evil thing they have sold themselves for if they only knew! (Surat al-Baqara: 102)

This verse maintains that certain Jews, although they knew that they would lose out in the hereafter, learned and adopted the practices of magic. Thus, they strayed away from the Law that Allah had sent them and, having sold their own souls, fell into paganism (magic doctrines). “They have sold themselves” for an evil thing, in other words, they abandoned their faith.


Pagan Doctrines Added to the Torah





Now therefore, our God, The great, the mighty, and awesome God, …You [are] just in all that has befallen us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have done wickedly. Neither our kings nor our princes, our priests nor our fathers, have kept Your law, nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies, with which You testified against them.For they have not served You in their kingdom, or in the many good [things] that You gave them, or in the large and rich land which You set before them; Nor did they turn from their wicked works.” (Nehemiah 9: 2-4, 26-29, 31-35)


For example (Allah is surely beyond all these expressions):




• One such blasphemous assertion is another that claims that Jacob (Ya’qoob alayhissalaam), ancestor of the Israelites, wrestled with Allah, and won. This is clearly a story invented to confer the Israelites with racial superiority, in emulation of the racial feelings widespread among pagan peoples. (or, in the words of the Qur’an: “fanatical rage“)

• There is a tendency in the Old Testament to present Allah as a national deity—that He is God of the Israelites only. However, Allah is the Lord and God of the universe and of all human beings. This notion of national religion, in the Old Testament, corresponds to tendencies of paganism, in which every tribe worships its own god.

• In some books of the Old Testament (for example, Joshua) commandments are given to commit horrible violence against non-Jewish peoples. Mass murder is commanded, with no regard for women, children or the elderly. This merciless savagery is totally against Allah’s justice, and recalls the barbarism of pagan cultures, who worshipped a mythical god of war.



The Kabbalah’s False Doctrine that Ignores the Fact of Creation

Allah reveals in the Qur’an that the original Torah is a Divine book that was sent as a light to humanity:


Therefore, the Torah, like the Qur’an, contains knowledge and commands related to such topics as the existence of Allah, His unity, His qualities, the Creation of the universe, the purpose of human creation, and Allah’s moral laws for humanity. (But, the original Torah is not extant today. What we possess today is an altered and corrupted version of the Torah.)


While this is the truth, there is a quite different interpretation found in the Kabbalah, that “subtle poison which enters into the veins of Judaism and wholly infests it.” Its doctrine of Allah is totally opposed to the “fact of Creation,” found in the real Torah and the Qur’an. In one of his works on the Kabbalah, the American researcher, Lance S. Owens, presents his view on the possible origins of this doctrine (Allah is surely beyond all the expressions in the extract below):


Not only was the Divine plural in Kabbalistic theosophy, but in its first subtle emanation from unknowable unity God had taken on a dual form as Male and Female; a supernal Father and Mother, Hokhmah and Binah, were God’s first emanated forms. Kabbalists used frankly sexual metaphors to explain how the creative intercourse of Hokhmah and Binah generated further creation…









From the Templars to the Masons
When we mentioned the Templars earlier, we noted that this peculiar order of crusaders was affected by a “secret” found in Jerusalem, as a result of which they abandoned Christianity and began to practice magic rites. We said that many researchers had reached the opinion that this secret was related to the Kabbalah. For example, in his book Histoire de la Magie (The History of Magic) the French writer, Eliphas Lévi, presents detailed evidence that the Templars were initiated into the mysterious doctrines of the Kabbalah, that is, they were secretly trained in this doctrine. Therefore, a doctrine with its roots in Ancient Egypt was transmitted to the Templars through the Kabbalah.




As we said earlier, a significant number of Templars escaped arrest and appealed to the king of Scotland, the only European kingdom at that time that had not accepted the authority of the Pope. In Scotland, they infiltrated the wall-builders’ guild and, in time, took it over. The guilds adopted the traditions of the Templars, and thus, the Masonic seed was planted in Scotland. Still, to this day, the mainline of Masonry is the “Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.”





The Templars and Masons, because of their superstitious beliefs concerning the Prophet Solomon (Nabi Sulayman alayhissalaam), believe that there is a “secret” in this temple passed down from ancient pagan civilizations. It is for this reason that Masonic literature places so much emphasis on the temple of Solomon.



First, let us look at humanism.















In the above articles, we see the expression of a common false philosophy that manifests itself under such names as materialism, Darwinism, atheism and agnosticism. In the first article, the materialist dogma of the eternal existence of the universe is put forward. The second article states, as the theory of evolution does, that human beings were not created. The third article denies the existence of the human soul claiming that human beings are composed of matter. The fourth article proposes a “cultural evolution” and denies the existence of a Divinely ordained human nature (a special human nature given in creation). The fifth article rejects Allah’s sovereignty over the universe and humanity, and the sixth states that it is time to reject “theism,” that is belief in Allah.

It will be noticed that these claims are stereotypical deceptions, typical of those circles that are hostile to true religious morality. The reason for this is that humanism is the main foundation of anti-religious sentiment. This is because humanism is an expression of “man’s reckoning that he will be left to go on unchecked,” which has been one of the primary bases, throughout history, for the denial of Allah. In one verse of the Qur’an, Allah says:

Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked?

Was he not a drop of ejaculated sperm,

then a blood-clot which He created and shaped,

making from it both sexes, male and female?


Allah says that people are not to be “left to go on unchecked,” and reminds them immediately afterwards that they are His creation. This is because, when a person realizes that he is a creation of Allah, he understands that he is not “unchecked” but responsible before Allah. For this reason, the mistaken idea that human beings are not created has become the basic doctrine of humanist philosophy. The first two articles of the first Humanist Manifesto give an expression to this doctrine. Moreover, humanists maintain that science supports these claims.







The last quarter of the twentieth century has not been kind to the psychoanalytic vision. Most significant has been the exposure of Freud’s views of religion (not to mention a host of other matters) as entirely fallacious. Ironically enough, scientific research in psychology over the past twenty-five years has demonstrated that, far from being a neurosis or source of neuroses as Freud and his disciples claimed, religious belief is one of the most consistent correlates of overall mental health and happiness. Study after study has shown a powerful relationship between religious belief and practice, on the one hand, and healthy behaviors with regard to such problems as suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, divorce, depression, even, perhaps surprisingly, levels of sexual satisfaction in marriage, on the other hand. 


John Lennon, by his lyrics, “Imagine [there is] is no religion,” was one of the most prominent propagandists of humanist philosophy in the twentieth century.

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
… You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one”




“As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to live and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith… We believe …that traditional dogmatic or authoritarian religions that place revelation, God, ritual, or creed above human needs and experience do a disservice to the human species… As nontheists, we begin with humans not God, nature not deity.”


However, humanists’ irrational and illogical claims regarding faith in Allah and monotheistic religions are nothing new; they are a restatement of a mistaken claim that has been made for thousands of years by those who reject Allah. In the Qur’an, Allah explains this age-old argument propounded by the unbelievers:

When they are asked, “What has your Lord sent down?” they say, “Myths and legends of previous peoples.” (Surat an-Nahl: 22-24)




The Roots of Humanism in the Kabbalah



This connection between humanism and the Kabbalah has been emphasized in several sources. One of these sources is the book of the famous author Malachi Martin entitled The Keys of This Blood. Martin is professor of history at the Vatican’s Pontifical Bible Institute. He says that the influence of the Kabbalah can be clearly observed among the humanists:





Italian humanists bowdlerized the idea of Kabbala almost beyond recognition.They reconstructed the concept of gnosis, and transferred it to a thoroughly this-wordly plane. The special gnosis they sought was a secret knowledge of how to master the blind forces of nature for a socio-political purpose.

In short, the humanist societies formed in that period wanted to replace the Catholic culture of Europe with a new culture that had its roots in the Kabbalah. They aimed to create a socio-political change to bring this about. It is interesting that, besides the Kabbalah, at the source of this new culture were the doctrines of Ancient Egypt. Prof. Martin writes:


It is quite interesting that humanists make use of the concept of “the Great Architect of the Universe,” a term still used by Masons today. This indicates that there must be a relationship between humanists and Masons. Prof. Martin writes:







In short, in Europe, in the fourteenth century, a humanist and Masonic organization was born that had its roots in the Kabbalah. And, this organization did not regard Allah as the Jews, Christians and Muslims did: the Creator and Ruler of the whole universe and the only Lord and God of humanity. Instead, they used a different concept, such as the “Great Architect of the Universe,” which they perceived as being “part of the material universe.”

In other words, this secret organization, that appeared in Europe in the fourteenth century, rejected Allah, but, under the concept of “the Great Architect of the Universe,” accepted the material universe as a supposed divinity (Surely Allah is beyond that).

For a clearer definition of this corrupt belief, we can jump forward to the twentieth century and look at Masonic literature. For example, one of Turkey’s most senior Masons, Selami Isindag, has a book entitled Masonluktan Esinlenmeler (Inspirations from Freemasonry). The purpose of this book is to train young Masons. Concerning the Masons’ belief in the “Great Architect of the Universe,” he has this to say:


In the same book, it is clear that when Freemasons speak of the “Great Architect of the Universe,” they mean nature, or, that they worship nature:




This is the belief the Masons mean when they say, “we believe in Allah, we absolutely do not accept atheists among us.” According to Masonry’s perverted beliefs, it is not Allah, but naturalist and humanist concepts such as nature, evolution and humanity regarded as supposedly divine.


Masonic Humanism: The Worship of Humanity

Pico della Mirandola, a Kabbalist humanist.


As we said at the beginning, humanism has turned its face from the Creator of humanity and makes the mistake of regarding man as “the highest form of being in the universe.” In fact, this implies the worship of humanity. This belief, that began with the Kabbalist humanists in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, continues so irrationally today in modern Masonry.


Today, Masons proclaim Mirandola’s heretical idea of the worship of humanity much more openly. For example, in a local Masonic booklet, it says:






Evidently, Masonry is a kind of religion. But, it is not a monotheistic religion; it is a humanist religion and, therefore, a false satanic religion. It is a perversion that enjoins the worship of humanity, not of Allah. Masonic writings insist on this point. In an article in the magazine Turk Mason (The Turkish Mason), it says, “We always acknowledge that the high ideal of Masonry lies in ‘Humanism’ doctrine.”

Another Turkish publication explains that humanism is a religion:



Humanist Moral Theory

The Masonic theory of “humanist morality” is extremely deceptive. History shows that, in societies where religion has been destroyed, there is no morality and only strife and disorder. The savagery of the French Revolution portrays the real results of humanism.


The same thing is said by the Rotary and Lion’s Club organizations, which are “light” versions of Masonry. All of these organizations insist that they are working for the good of society.


We will see shortly why this claim is so deceitful. But, before that, it will be useful to consider the views of Masons on this subject. On the Masons’ Internet site, the possibility of “morality without religion” is described in this way:







A striking example of this was the great French Revolution of 1789. The Masons, who fomented the revolution, came forth with slogans shouting the moral ideals of “liberty, equality and fraternity.” Yet, tens of thousands of innocent people were sent to the guillotine, and the country soaked in blood. Even the leaders of the revolution themselves could not escape this savagery, but were sent to the guillotine, one after the other.


Also today, when we look within Masonry itself, which is constantly pronouncing its ideas of “service to society” and “sacrifice for humanity,” we do not find a very clean record. In many countries, Masonry has been the focus of relationships for ill-gotten material gain. In the P2 Masonic Lodge scandal of Italy in the 1980’s, it came to light that the Masons maintained a close relationship with the mafia, and that the directors of the lodge were engaged in activities such as arms-smuggling, the drug trade or money laundering. It was also revealed that they arranged assaults on their rivals and on those who had betrayed them. In the “Great Eastern Lodge Scandal” of France in 1992, and in the “Clean Hands” operation in England, reported in the English press in 1995, the activities of Masonic lodges in the interests of illegal profit became clear. The Masons’ idea of “humanist morality” is only a sham.

That such a thing should happen is inevitable, because, as we said at the beginning, morality is only established in society by the moral discipline of religion. At the basis of morality lies the absence of arrogance and selfishness, and the only ones who can achieve this state are those who realize their responsibility to Allah. In the Qur’an, after Allah tells of believers’ self-sacrifice, He commands “…It is the people who are safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful.” (Surat al-Hashr: 9). This is the true basis of morality.

In the Sura Furqan of the Qur’an, the nature of the morality of true believers is described in this way:

The servants of the All-Merciful are those who walk lightly on the earth and, who, when the ignorant speak to them, say, “Peace”;those who pass the night prostrating and standing before their Lord…





That is, the basic duty of believers is to submit to Allah in humility, “not to turn their backs, as if they were deaf and blind when they are reminded of His signs.” Because of this duty, a person is saved from the selfishness of the ego, worldly passions, ambitions, and the concern to make himself liked by others. The kind of morality mentioned in the verses above is attained by these means alone. For this reason, in a society lacking in love and fear of Allah and faith in Him, there is no morality. Since nothing can be determined absolutely, each determines what is right and wrong according to his own desires.


The Masonic Goal: To Establish a Humanist World

As we have already seen, Masons are tied to humanist philosophy. That is why they reject faith in Allah, and the worship of human beings, or the veneration of “humanity” in His place (Surely Allah is beyond that). But, this raises an important question: do Masons reserve this belief for themselves only, or do they wish it to be adopted by others as well?


For example, in an article published in the Masonic magazine Mimar Sinan, it says, “Masons do not search for the origin of the ideas of evil, justice and honesty beyond the physical world, they believe that these things arise from a person’s social conditions, social relationships and what he strives for in his life.” and adds, “Masonry is trying to spread this idea throughout the whole world.”

Selami Isindag, a senior Turkish Mason, writes:


What Master Mason Isindag means by “rescuing human beings from a morality based on religious sources” is the alienation of all people from religion. In the same book, Isindag explains this goal and its supposed “principles for the establishment of an advanced civilization”:




-The superiority of rational humanism and labor.

The first of the three articles above entails the rejection of the existence of Allah. (Masons do not believe in Allah, but in the Great Architect of the Universe, and the above quotation shows that with this term, they mean evolution.) The second article rejects revelation from Allah and religious knowledge based on it. (Isindag himself defines this as “empty beliefs.”) And the third article ignorantly exalts humanism and the humanist concept of “labor” (as in Communism).


There is another important thing to take note of here: how has Masonry put into motion its mission against religion? When we look at Masonic writings, we see that they imagine they can destroy religion, especially on the societal level, by means of mass “propaganda.” Master Mason Selami Isindag throws a lot of light on this matter in this passage from his book:


In order to understand what is meant here, we have to analyze it carefully. Isindag says that repression of religion will make religious people more highly motivated and will strengthen religion. Therefore, in order to prevent religion from being strengthened, Isindag thinks Masons should destroy religion on the intellectual level. What he means by “positive science and principles of logic and wisdom” is not really science, logic or wisdom. What he means is merely a humanist, materialist philosophy that uses these catch-phrases as camouflage, as in the case of Darwinism. Isindag asserts that, when these ideas are disseminated in society, “only the humanist elements in religion will gain respect,” that is, what will be left of religion will be only those elements approved by the humanist philosophy. In other words, they want to reject the basic truths that lie at the foundation of monotheistic religion (Isindag calls them vain beliefs and dogmas). These truths are the ultimate realities such as that man is created by Allah and is responsible to Him.




In an article by Isindag, in the magazine Mason, entitled “Positive Science–The Obstacles of Mind and Masonry,” he says:

As a result of all this, I want to say that the most important humanistic and Masonic duty of us all is not to turn away from science and reason, to acknowledge that this is the best and only way according to evolution, to spread this faith of ours among people and to educate the people in positive science. The words of Ernest Renan are very important: “If the people are educated and enlightened by positive science and reason, the vain beliefs of religion will collapse by themselves.” Lessing’s words support this view: “If human beings are educated and enlightened by positive science and reason, one day there will be no need for religion.”

This is Masonry’s ultimate goal. They want to destroy religion completely, and establish a humanist world based on the “sacredness” of humanity. That is, they want to establish a new order of ignorance, in which people reject Allah Who created them, and consider themselves Divine… This goal is the purpose for the existence of Masonry. In the Masonic magazine called Ayna (Mirror), this is called a “Temple of Ideas”:

Modern Masons have changed the goal of the old Masons to build a physical temple into the idea of building a “Temple of Ideas.” The construction of a Temple of Ideas will be possible when Masonic principles and virtues are established and such wise people increase on the earth

To further this goal, Masons work tirelessly in many countries of the world. The Masonic organization is influential in universities, other educational institutions, in the media, in the world of art and ideas. It never ceases in its efforts to disseminate its humanist philosophy in society and to discredit the truths of the faith that is the basis of religion. We will see later that the theory of evolution is one of Masons’ principal means of propaganda. Moreover, they aim to build a society that does not mention even the name of Allah or religion, but caters only to human pleasure, desires and worldly ambition. This will be a society formed by people who have “made (Allah) into something to cast disdainfully behind their backs” (Surah Hud: 92), similar to the people of Madyan mentioned in the Qur’an. In this culture of ignorance there is no room for the fear or love of Allah, doing His will, performing acts of worship, nor is there any thought for the hereafter. In fact, these ideas are thought to be old-fashioned and characteristic of uneducated people. This deceptive message is being constantly used for indoctrination in films, comic strips and novels.

In this great enterprise of deception, the Masons continually play a leadership role. But, there are also many other groups and individuals engaged in the same work. Masons accept them as “honorary Masons,” and count them as their allies because they are all one in their shared humanist philosophy. Selami Isindag writes:


This persistent battle against religion relies on two basic arguments or justifications: the materialist philosophy and Darwin’s theory of evolution.






Masons and Ancient Egypt

The Ancient Egyptians believed in the myth that matter was eternal, and that the order of the universe arose due to a mythical “self-organizational” power of matter.


The word Hermeticism comes from the name of Hermes, the Greek counterpart for the Ancient Egyptian god “Thoth.” In other words, Hermeticism is the Ancient Greek version of Ancient Egyptian philosophy.



Isindag is much more overt about the influence of Ancient Egypt on the origins of Masonry when he declares, “Freemasonry is a social and ritual organization whose beginnings go back to Ancient Egypt.”

Many other Masonic authorities maintain that the origins of Masonry go back to secret societies of ancient pagan cultures, such as those of Ancient Egypt and Greece. A senior Turkish Mason, Celil Layiktez, stated in an article in Mimar Sinan magazine entitled, “The Masonic Secret: What is Secrecy and What is Not?“:

In Ancient Greek, Egyptian and Roman civilizations there were mystery schools (écoles de mystères) which met in the context of a particular science, gnosis or secret knowledge. Members of these mystery schools were accepted only after a long period of study and initiation ceremonies. Among these schools, the first is thought to have been the school of “Osiris” based on the events of this god’s birth, youth, struggle against darkness, death and resurrection. These themes were ritually dramatized in ceremonies performed by clergy and in this way the rituals and symbols being presented were much more effective because of the actual participation…




Despite this, Masons maintain that their origins lie in Ancient Egypt, and regard that civilization as praiseworthy. An article published in Mimar Sinan praises the temples of Ancient Egypt as the “source of Masonic craft”:

…The Egyptians founded Heliopolis (the Sun City) and Memphis and according to Masonic legend, these two cities were the source of knowledge and science, that is, as the Masons would say “Great Light.” Pythagoras, who visited Heliopolis, had much to say about the temple. The Memphis temple where he had been trained has historical significance. In the city of Thebes there were advanced schools. Pythagoras, Plato and Cicero were initiated into Masonry in these cities.



It can be seen from this that the “light” which the pharaohs of ancient Egypt and Masons search for is the same. This can also be interpreted as suggesting that Masonry is a modern representative of the philosophy of the Egyptian pharaohs. The nature of this philosophy is revealed by Allah in the Qur’an in the judgment He passed over Pharaoh and his people: “They are a people of deviators.” (Surat an-Naml: 12)




Ancient Egyptian Symbols in Masonic Lodges





Modern Masonry preserved Ancient Egyptian philosophy and uses symbols to give it expression. In the above photograph of a lodge, the Pharaoh’s image on the front of the altar is an example of this symbolism.


“If we choose Ancient Egypt as the “most ancient” I don’t think we will be mistaken. Moreover, the fact that the ceremonies, degrees and philosophy found in Ancient Egypt are most similar to those in Masonry draws our attention there first.”

Again, an article in Mimar Sinan entitled “The Social Origins and Aims of Freemasonry” says:



The Pyramid Under the Eye


The pyramid below the eye in the triangle attracts relatively little notice. However, this pyramid is extremely meaningful and enlightening for the understanding of the philosophy of Masonry. An American author, Robert Hieronimus, wrote a doctoral thesis on the United States’ seal in which he provided some very important information. The title of Hieronimus’ thesis was “An Historic Analysis of the Reverse of the American Great Seal and Its Relationship to the Ideology of Humanist Psychology.” His thesis shows that the founders of America, who originally adopted the seal, had been Masons, and that they, therefore, espoused the humanist philosophy. The connection of this philosophy with Ancient Egypt is symbolized by the pyramid placed in the center of the seal. This pyramid is a representation of the Pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the Pharaoh’s tombs.”

The Eye and The Pyramid

Among the most important Masonic symbols taken from Ancient Egypt is the pyramid with an eye within a triangle. The pyramid on the Great Seal of the USA is the great pyramid of Cheops. The eye is a frequent symbol on Ancient Egyptian engravings.

The Masonic Meaning of the Six Pointed Star
One of Masonry’s most important symbols is the six-pointed star.

Another well-known symbol of Masonry is the six pointed star, formed by the imposition of one triangle over another. This is also a traditional symbol of the Jews, and today appears on the flag of Israel. It is known that the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam) used it as a seal for the first time. Therefore the six-pointed star is a seal of a prophet, a Divine symbol.

But, Masons have a different conception. They do not accept the six-pointed star as a symbol of the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam), but as a symbol of Ancient Egyptian paganism. An article in Mimar Sinan entitled “Allegory and Symbols in our Rituals” relates a number of interesting facts about this matter:


Actually, we must interpret all Masonic symbols in relation to Solomon’s Temple in this way. As revealed in the Qur’an, like other prophets, the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam) was a blessed prophet who some wished to slander. In a verse of the Qur’an, Allah says, “They follow what the satans recited in the reign of Solomon. Solomon did not become unbeliever, but the satans did…” (Surat al-Baqara: 102)


Masons have adopted this corrupt idea mistakenly attributed to the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam). For this reason, they afford him an important place in their doctrines. In his book The Occult Conspiracy, the American historian Michael Howard says that, since the Middle Ages, the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam) (Allah forbid) has been regarded by various ignorant people as a magician and as one who introduced some pagan ideas into Judaism.

Howard explains that the Masons regard the Temple of Solomon as being in their eyes a “pagan temple,” and as important for this reason.

This false image fabricated against the Prophet Solomon ( Sulayman alayhissalaam), who was a devout and obedient servant of Allah, shows the true origins of Masonry.

The Double Column

An indispensable part of the décor of a Masonic lodge is the double column in the entrance. The words “Jachin” and “Boaz” are inscribed on them, in imitation of the two columns at the entrance to Solomon’s Temple. But actually, the Masons do not intend these columns as a memorial to the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam); they are an expression of those corrupt insinuations against the Prophet Solomon (Sulayman alayhissalaam). The origins of these columns again go back to Ancient Egypt. In the article entitled “Allegory and Symbols in our Rituals,” Mimar Sinan magazine states:


The Egyptian Terminology of the Lodges


Ma’at-neb-men-aa, Ma’at-ba-aa’.


“Great is the established Master of Freemasonry, Great is the Spirit of Freemasonry.”

The authors state that the word “Ma’at means the skill of wall building, and that the nearest translation is “Masonry.” This means that modern Masons, thousands of years later, still conserve the language of Ancient Egypt in their lodges.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart’s Magic Flute


“It is known that there is a clear connection between Ancient Egyptian and Masonic rituals. No matter how much those who attempted to interpret the Magic Flute as “a story about the Far East,” at its foundation are Egyptian rituals. It is the gods and goddesses of the Egyptian temples that influenced the creation of the characters of the Magic Flute.”


An obelisk covered with Masonic symbols in New York’s Central Park.


“The most striking instance of the symbolic use of architecture is the monument called Cleopatra’s needle, given to the US as a gift in 1878 by the Egyptian Governer Ismail. This monument is now in Central Park. Its surface is covered with Masonic emblems. This monument was originally erected in the 16th century BC at the entrance to a temple of the Sun god, an initiation center in Heliopolis.”

The Legend of Isis—The Widow



“The Osiris-Isis legend is the topic of many articles and lectures and is the closest of the Ancient Egyptian myths to Masonry. The test to become a priest of the temple of Isis is the Masonic initiation itself. It would be tedious to have to repeat it. There, light was one of the most important elements; in order to be buried in the darkness of the East, the morning sun begins to descend after noon and takes on Osiris’ duty every day, just like Horus who more brilliantly took the place of his murdered father.So, the “widow” whose children we are is none other than Osiris’ widow Isis.”


The Compass and Square



“The square… is a natural and appropriate Symbol of this earth… The hermaphroditic figure is the symbol of the double nature anciently assigned to the Deity, as Generator and Producer, as Brahm and Maya among the Arians, Osiris and Isis among the Egyptians. As the Sun was male, so the Moon was female.”


Masonry’s Pagan Philosophy






Materialism in Masonic Sources

I. The Absolute Matter Error


In his book, Masonluktan Esinlenmeler (Inspirations from Freemasonry), Master Mason Selami Isindag writes about Masonry’s pure materialist philosophy:


You will find views identical to those above in the books of materialist thinkers such as K. Marx, F. Engels, V .I. Lenin, G. Politzer, C. Sagan, and J. Monod. They all accept the basic materialist myth that the universe has existed for ever, matter is the one absolute existent entity, human beings are composed of matter and are without spirit, matter evolved in and out of itself, and life appeared as a result of chance. It is right to use the term myth because, contrary to Isindag’s claim that “these processes are the result of positivist science and reason,” all these views have been invalidated by scientific discoveries in the second half of the twentieth century. For example, the Big Bang theory, accepted in scientific circles as proven, shows scientifically that the universe was created from nothing millions of years ago. The Laws of Thermodynamics show that matter does not have the ability to organize itself and that the balance and order in the universe is the result therefore of a conscious Creation. By demonstrating the extraordinary structure of living things, biology proves the existence of a Creator, in other words Allah, Who made them all.

In his article, Isindag continues to explain that Masons are, in fact, materialists and, therefore, atheists, and that they use the concept of the “Great Architect of the Universe” in reference to a material evolution:




“A mason trained with these principles and doctrines accepts the duty to educate people… and to edify them by teaching them the principles of reason and positivist science. In this way, Masonry is addressed to people. It works on behalf of people despite the people.” 

These words show two aspects of Masonry’s perceived role in society;


They intend to do this despite the people. That is, even if a society believes in Allah and has no desire to accept a materialist philosophy, Masonry will be dogged in their attempt to change people’s world view without their consent.

There is an important matter that we must take notice of here: the terminology that Masons use is deceptive. In their writings, especially those directed at the rest of society, they employ language designed to show their philosophy as harmless, intelligent and tolerant. An example of this can be seen in the quotation above, in the notion of “edifying people by teaching them the principles of reason and positivist science.” Indeed, Masonic philosophy has nothing to do with “science and reason”; it has to do with an outmoded myth that flies in the face of science. It is not Masonry’s goal to edify people; their deliberate intention is to impose their philosophy on people. When they maintain that they are determined to do this despite the people, we see that they are not tolerant, but in possession of a totalitarian world-view.

II. Denial of the Existence of Spirit and of the Hereafter

Masons believe in materialism and reject the idea of life after death. Sometimes the concept of life after death appears in Masonic texts, but, as in the myth of Hiram depicted here, what is meant by it is the continuation of the memory of a person’s name in this world.

As a part of their materialist beliefs, Masons do not accept the existence of the human spirit and completely reject the idea of the hereafter. In spite of this, Masonic writings sometimes say of the dead that they “passed over into eternity” or other such spiritual expressions. This may appear contradictory, but it is not, actually, because all of Masonry’s references to the immortality of the spirit are symbolic. Mimar Sinan deals with this topic in an article entitled, “After Death in Freemasonry”:


On the same topic, Master Mason Isindag writes:


To reject resurrection after death and to search for immortality in worldly legacy… Even if Masons present this idea as being in conformity with modern science, it is, in fact, a myth that has been believed by godless people since the early ages of history. It is stated in the Qur’an that godless people “constructed fine buildings hoping to live forever.” The Prophet Hud (alayhissalaam), one of the past prophets, warned the people of ‘Ad against this mode of ignorance, as stated below:

When their brother Hud said to them, “Will you not do your duty?
and construct fine buildings, hoping to live for ever,
and when you attack, attack as tyrants do?
So heed Allah and obey me.”
(Surat ash-Shu’ara’: 124-131)


The Scientific Incongruity of Denying the Soul







“What is it that gives a particular person his individual identityIs it, to some extent, the very atoms that compose his body? Is his identity dependent upon the particular choice of electrons, protons, and other particles that compose those atoms? There are at least two reasons why this cannot be so. In the first place, there is a continual turnover in the material of any living person’s body. This applies in particular to the cells in a person’s brain, despite the fact that no new actual brain cells are produced after birth. The vast majority of atoms in each living cell (including each brain cell)—and, indeed, virtually the entire material of our bodies—has been replaced many times since birth. The second reason comes from quantum physics…If an electron in a person’s brain were to be exchanged with an electron in a brick, then the state of the system would be exactly the same state as it was before, not merely indistinguishable from it! The same holds for protons and for any other kind of particle, and for whole atoms, molecules, etc. If the entire material content of a person were to be exchanged with corresponding particles in the bricks of his house then, in a strong sense, nothing would have happened whatsoever.”






Masonic Materialism: The Divinization of Matter



No matter how modern this idea may seem, it is, in fact, a reemergence of a corrupt belief that has existed since the earliest ages of history: Idolatry. Those who worshipped idols believed that the statues and totems they worshipped had spirit and power. In other words, they attributed consciousness and great power to lifeless, unconscious matter. Surely, this is obviously nonsensical. In the Qur’an, Allah refers to the irrationality of paganism. In the stories of the Prophets, the spuriousness of pagan beliefs is especially emphasized. For example, it is revealed in a Qur’anic verse that the Prophet Abraham (Ibraheem alayhissalaam) asked his father, “Father, why do you worship what can neither hear nor see and is not of any use to you at all?” (Surah Maryam: 42) It is clear that, to attribute divinity to lifeless matter, that cannot hear or see, and has no power, is evidently very foolish.




However, the fact is this: lifeless matter (atoms) has no spirit, consciousness or intelligence. This is a fact proved to us by both observation and experiment. Only living things have consciousness, which is the result of the “soul” that Allah has given to them. Of all living things, human beings are benefited with the highest degree of consciousness because they possess a unique spirit that Allah has given to them.



Masonic writings are full of interesting accounts of this belief. An article in Mimar Sinan entitled “The Way of Truth” maintains:


This false and primitive doctrine leads Masons to believe that the balance and order in the universe is effected by lifeless matter. Again, in Mimar Sinan, an article has appeared about the world’s geological development. It states:



Pagans of bygone ages worshipped idols made of stone. Today’s pagans idolize matter.


But, contrary to what is asserted in this quotation, there is no consciousness in a living cell. To believe this is nothing but superstition. Again, as we see in the above quotation, in order to deny the existence and creative activity of Allah, they attribute farcical attributes to atoms, molecules and cells, such as intelligence, the ability to plan, self-sacrifice and even “democratic harmony.” Just as it is nonsense to say of the creation of an oil painting that “the paints ordered themselves together according to a plan, and proceeded democratically and in harmony,” so the Masons’ claim about the origin of life is nonsense.

Another common expression of the superstitious tenets of Masonry and its materialism is the notion of “Mother Nature.” We encounter this expression in documentary films, books, magazines and even commercials; it is used to express the belief that the lifeless matter that composes nature (nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, etc.) has a conscious power, and that it has by itself created human beings and all living things. This myth is not based on observation or logical reasoning, but is intended to win people over by means of mass indoctrination. The purpose is for people to forget Allah, the real Creator, turning instead to paganism, in which “nature” is regarded as the creator.

Masonry strives to give shape to this creed, strengthen and disseminate it, and supports all social forces that it regards as being its allies. An article in Mimar Sinan, entitled “Thoughts About The Concept and the Evolution of Solidarity from the Scientific Point of View,” speaks of the “mysterious harmony that mother nature has ordered” and states that this is the basis of Masonry’s humanist philosophy. It further states that Masonry will support those movements that espouse this philosophy:


The most important of those “means and actions” which “advance the ideals of Masonry” is the purportedly scientifically based theory of evolution, the modern support for materialism and humanism.

In the next chapter we will take a closer look to the theory of evolution from Darwin’s time to modern evolutionist propaganda, and we will discover the secret relationship of Masonry to this greatest scientific error of all time.

The Theory of Evolution Revisited
The theory of evolution is not an original discovery of Darwin’s. He did nothing more than re-apply an old superstitious philosophy

It is 1832…
HMS Beagle is making its way across the vast Atlantic. The ship looks like any ordinary cargo or passenger ship, but its journey is a journey of discovery, and one that will last many years. Setting out from England, it will cross the entire ocean and reach the shores of South America.

The Beagle, a ship that had been of little known importance until that time, was setting out on a 5 year voyage.

That which would ultimately make that ship famous was its passenger, Charles Robert Darwin, a 22 year-old naturalist. He had not actually studied biology but had been a student of theology at the University of Cambridge.

Though this young man’s education in theology was extensive, the times in which he lived were deeply influenced by materialist thought. Indeed, one year before embarking on his journey on the Beagle, he had renounced a number of basic tenets of Christianity.

The young Darwin interpreted all the discoveries made in the course of his voyage in terms of materialist thought, and sought to explain the living things he investigated without reference to Divine Creation. He developed groundless these ideas over the ensuing years, refined them, and ultimately published his theory. His theory was proposed in 1859, in a book entitled Origin of the Species, which was not well received by the intellectual world of the nineteenth century, though which would finally provide the so-called scientific basis that atheism had been seeking to find for centuries.

Was the theory of evolution an original discovery of Darwin? Did he alone develop a theory that opened the way to one of the greatest deceits in the history of the world?

Actually, Darwin did nothing other than to retouch a superstitious idea whose foundations had been established earlier.

The theory of materialist evolution was developed by the pagan philosophers in Ancient Greece.

The Evolutionary Myth, from Ancient Greece to Modern Europe

The essence of Darwin’s theory of evolution is the so-called claim that, under purely natural conditions, lifeless matter spontaneously brought forth the first living things, and that from them, again under these same conditions, all other species developed merely by chance. In other words, the theory of evolution proposes the existence of a self-contained system, that has organized itself without a creator, and spontaneously brings living things into being. This false idea, that nature organizes itself without a Creator, is called “naturalism.”


Naturalism was born and flourished in pagan societies such as Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. But, with the spread of Christianity, this pagan philosophy was largely abandoned, and the idea that Allah created the whole of nature and the universe came to dominate. In a similar manner, as Islam spread throughout the East, naturalist ideas, and pagan beliefs, such as Zoroastrianism and Shamanism, were eradicated, and the fact of Creation was accepted.


“Those who arrived at new discoveries in the world of natural phenomena and events without taking gods into account were forced to keep their discoveries to themselves. Research was done secretly and even those who were engaged in similar research had to keep their relationship hidden. This secrecy required the use of several signs and symbols in the course of projects which were undertaken.”

What is meant here by “new discoveries” is an understanding of science aligned to naturalism, a theory that does not accept the existence of Allah. This distorted approach to scientific study was developed secretly in esoteric societies that needed to use signs and symbols for this purpose, and so the roots of Masonry were established.

The first to promote the theory of evolution in modern Europe were members of the Masonic society known as the Rosicrucians.




Another Masonic organization to have developed the idea of evolution was not in the West but it was another Masonic order founded in the East. Grand Master Selami Isindag provides the following information, in an article entitled “Masonry and Us From Its Foundation Until Today”:

“In the Islamic world there was a counterpart of Masonry called the Ikhwan as-Safa’ [The Brethren of Purity]. This society was founded in Basra in the time of the Abbasids and published an encyclopedia composed of 54 large volumes. 17 of these dealt with natural science and it contained scientific explanations that closely resembled those of Darwin. These found their way even to Spain and had an influence on Western thought.”



The words quoted above, “purged of vain religious beliefs and dogmas” mean that initiates were made to reject religion at all. That is how the Mason Isindag defines religion. However, as we examined in earlier sections, “vain belief and dogma” is a euphemism particular to Masonic philosophy. It must be recognized that Masonry, or any other materialist group, express such anti-religious ideas without logical justification; they rely only on propaganda and suggestion. Because they cannot denounce religion rationally, they resort to these methods of suggestion and words selected to create a particular psychological effect.

From the quotation above, we learn that the Ikhwan as-Safa’, a parallel society of Freemasonry in the Islamic world, carried on activities much like those of the modern Masons. Their method was to espouse a pagan philosophy contrary to true religion, to express that philosophy by means of symbols, and to introduce this secret philosophy to its members gradually.

In the history of Islam there have been various thinkers who in this way distanced themselves from Islam, and were influenced by the Ancient Greeks’ materialist and evolutionist myths. The fact that this school of thought, that the great Islamic scholar Imam Ghazaali (rahimahullah) so loathed and refuted in his works, has a Masonic character to it surely casts some important light on the matter. In his work entitled Al-Munqidh min al-Dalal (Deliverance From Error), Imam Ghazaali directly criticized the Ikhwan as-Safa’ society, explaining that it espoused a corrupt philosophy influenced by the ideas of the Ancient Greeks. And, in his work entitled Fedaih-ul-Batinniyye, he demonstrated the perversity of the teachings of the Ismaili sect, to which the Ikhwan as-Safa’ belonged.

Enlightenment and the Advent of the Myth of Evolution

In his book, Reflections on the Revolution in France, Edmund Burke showed the destructive effects of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment.

The materialist and evolutionist ideas adopted by Masonic organizations such as the Rosicrucians or the Ikhwan as-Safa’, expressed secretly, but most often symbolically, became more open as the Catholic Church’s social power weakened in Europe. As a result, these pagan teachings, which had gone underground for about 1,000 years because of the political and intellectual dominance of Christianity, came into vogue again among thinkers in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe.





During the French Revolution, much hostility was evinced toward religion. Many clergymen were sent to the guillotine, churches were destroyed, and, moreover, there were those who wanted to eradicate Christianity totally and replace it with a deviant, pagan, symbolic religion called “the Religion of Reason.” The leaders of the Revolution also became casualties of this madness, every one of them finally losing their heads on the guillotine, to which they themselves had condemned so many people. Even today, many Frenchmen continue to question whether or not the revolution was a good thing.


Therefore, this process allowed the possibility for materialist and evolutionist ideas, that had been operating underground for centuries through the use of symbols, to come forth into the public. Materialists, such as Diderot and Baron d’Holbach, sought to raise the anti-religious banner, and the Ancient Greek myth of evolution was introduced into the scientific community.

Erasmus Darwin

Those generally thought to be the founders of the theory of evolution are the French biologist Jean Lamarck and the English biologist Charles Darwin. According to the classic story, Lamarck first proposed the theory of evolution, but he made the mistake of basing it on the “inheritance of acquired traits.” Later, Darwin proposed a second theory based on natural selection.

Though, here we must mention the name of another theoretician who played an important role in the origins of the theory of evolution: Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin’s grandfather.

Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin’s grandfather was a “Master Mason.”

Erasmus Darwin was an eighteenth century contemporary of Lamarck. A physicist, psychologist and poet, he was recognized as an authority. His biographer, Desmond King-Hele even called him the greatest Englishman of the eighteenth century. But, Erasmus Darwin had a very dark private life.

Erasmus Darwin is mainly noted as one of England’s most prominent naturalists. As we said at the beginning, naturalism is a view that does not accept that Allah created living things. Actually, this view, which is close to materialism, was the starting point of Erasmus Darwin’s theory of evolution.

In the 1780’s and 90’s, Erasmus Darwin developed the main outlines of theory of evolution, according to which all living things came from a single common ancestor by chance and according to the laws of nature. He did his research in an eight acre botanic garden he had prepared, and sought evidence that would prove his idea. He explained his theory in two books, entitled Temple of Nature and Zoonomia. Moreover, in 1784 he founded a society to manage the dissemination of his ideas, known as the Philosophical Society.

Years later, Charles Darwin would inherit his grandfather’s ideas and the basic outlines for the proposal of his theory of evolution. Charles Darwin’s theory elaborated upon the structure established by his grandfather, while the Philosophical Society became one of the greatest and most passionate supporters of his theory.

In short, Erasmus Darwin was the true pioneer of the theory we know of as the theory of evolution that has been propagandized throughout the world over the past 150 years.

Where did Erasmus Darwin discover the idea of evolution? Where did his interest in this subject come from?

After a thorough search for the answer to this question, we discover the interesting fact that Erasmus Darwin was a Mason. Though, Erasmus Darwin was no ordinary Mason, he was one of the highest ranking masters in the organization.

Erasmus Darwin’s book Zoonomia, in which he laid the foundations for the theory of evolution.

He was the master of the famous Canongate lodge in Edinburgh, Scotland. Moreover, he had close ties with the Jacobin Masons who were the organizers of the revolution in France at the time, and with the Illuminati, whose prime cause was fostering hostility to religion. That is, Erasmus Darwin was an important name in European Masonic anti-religious organizations.

Erasmus educated his son Robert (Charles Darwin’s father), who too had been and made a member of the Masonic lodge. For this reason, Charles Darwin received the inheritance of Masonic teachings from both his father and his grandfather.

Erasmus Darwin hoped to have his son Robert develop and publish his theory, but it would be his grandson Charles who would undertake the enterprise. Although it came some time later, Erasmus Darwin’s Temple of Nature was finally revised by Charles Darwin. Darwin’s views did not have the weight of a scientific theory; it was merely the expression of a naturalist doctrine that accepts that nature has creative power.

Masons and the Naturalist Philosophy

As for the theory of natural selection that we supposed to be Darwin’s one particular contribution, it too was merely a theory put forward earlier by a number of scientists. But, the scientists before Darwin’s time did not apply the theory of natural selection as an argument against Creation; on the contrary, they saw it as a mechanism generated by the Creator to protect the species from a hereditary distortion. Just like Karl Marx took the idealist Hegel’s concept of “dialectics,” and bent it to fit his own philosophy, so did Darwin take the theory of natural selection from Creationist scientists and used it in a way so as to fit the idea of naturalism.

Therefore, Darwin’s personal contribution in the formulation of Darwinism must not be overstated. The philosophical concepts he used were invented by earlier philosophers of naturalism. If Darwin had not proposed the theory of evolution, someone else would have. In fact, a theory very similar to his was proposed at the same period by another English natural scientist by the name of Alfred Russell Wallace; it was for this reason that Darwin was hasty to publish the Origin of the Species.

Finally, Darwin appeared at a stage when the long struggle had begun in Europe to supposedly destroy faith in Allah and religion, replace it with the naturalist philosophy and a humanist model for human life. The most significant force behind this struggle was not this or that thinker, but the Masonic organization, of which so many thinkers, ideologues and political leaders were members.

This fact was recognized and expressed by several Christians of the time. Pope Leo XIII, the leader of the world’s Catholics, issued a famous bull in 1884, entitled Humanum Genus in which he made many important statements about Masonry and its activities. He wrote:


…For, from what We have above most clearly shown, that which is their ultimate purpose forces itself into view—namely, the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of “new state of things in accordance with their ideas which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.””

The important fact that Leo XIII stated in the above quotation is of the attempt to destroy completely the moral values provided by religion. What Masonry tried to do with the help of Darwinism was to produce a morally degenerate society that recognized no Divine law, had no fear of Allah, and was susceptible to commit every kind of crime. What was meant above by “new state of things in accordance with their ideas which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism” is this kind of social model.

Masons, thinking that Darwinism could serve their goals, played a great role in its dissemination among the masses. As soon as Darwin’s theory was published, a group of volunteer propagandists formed around it the most famous of whom was Thomas Huxley who was called Darwin’s “bulldog.” Huxley, “whose ardent advocacy of Darwinism was the single factor most responsible for its rapid acceptance” brought the world’s attention to the theory of evolution in the Debate at the Oxford University Museum in which he entered into on June 30, 1860 with the bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce.

Huxley’s great dedication to spreading the idea of evolution, together with his establishment connections, is brought into further light according to the following fact: Huxley was a member the Royal Society, of one of England’s most prestigious scientific institutions and, like nearly all the other members of this institution, was a senior Mason.Other members of the Royal Society lent Darwin significant support, both before and after the book was published. This Masonic society accepted Darwin and Darwinism to such an extent that, as with the Nobel Prize, Darwin’s medal was awarded annually to a scientist deemed worthy of the honor.

In short, Darwin wasn’t acting alone; from the moment his theory was proposed, he received the support that came from the social classes and groups whose nucleus was made up of Masons. In his book, Marxism and Darwinism, the Marxist thinker Anton Pannekoek writes about this important fact and describes the support lent to Darwin by the “bourgeoisie,” that is, the wealthy European capitalist class.:


Darwinism served as a tool to the bourgeoisie in their struggle against the feudal class, against the nobility, clergy-rights and feudal lords…What the bourgeoisie wanted was to get rid of the old ruling powers standing in their way… With the aid of religion the priests held the great mass in subjection and ready to oppose the demands of the bourgeoisie…


Darwinism came at the desired time; Darwin’ s theory that man is the descendant of a lower animal destroyed the entire foundation of Christian dogma. It is for this reason that as soon as Darwinism made its appearance, the bourgeoisie grasped it with great zeal.


Though Anton Pannekoek, because he thinks in terms of Marxist class analysis, defines the force that spread Darwinism and put into effect an organized struggle against religion as “bourgeoisie,” when we examine the matter in light of more historical evidence, we see that there was an organization within the bourgeoisie that used Darwinism to pursue their war against religion. That organization was Masonry.

Darwin’s theory seemed plausible to some due to the primitive level of scientific knowledge and meager evidence in the nineteenth century.

This fact is clear both from historical evidence as well as Masonic sources. One of these sources is an article by Master Mason Selami Isindag, entitled “Obstacles to the Development of Knowledge and Masonry,” that appeared in the 1962 Annual Bulletin of the Turkish Great Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. At the beginning of this article, Isindag repeats the classical Masonic claim that religion is a myth invented by human beings, and that monotheism is contrary to reason and science. Later, he describes the true instigator of the war against religion carried out under the guise of “science”:

It will be noticed that in this struggle for the spread of knowledge, Masons are known to have participated at every level. The reason for this is that Masonry, in every period, has been guided always by logic, knowledge and maturity, that is, by wisdom. Since it was founded, it had fought against superstition and myth.

However, in reality, “superstition and myth” is not, as the Masons claim, religion; it is, rather, the basis of the materialist, naturalist and evolutionist beliefs they espouse. The clearest proof of this fact is that it is their outmoded ideas, their repetitions of the empty beliefs of the ancient pagan civilizations of Egypt and Greece, that have been invalidated by the discoveries of modern science.

A comparison of the scientific facts relevant to the origins of life and Masonic beliefs about it will be enough to let us form a conclusion as to this fact.

The Masonic Theory of the Origins of Life

As we stated at the beginning, the theory of evolution rests on the claim that living things were not created, but arose and developed due to chance and natural laws. In order to test this theory scientifically, it is necessary to look at every stage of this supposed process, and to examine whether or not such a process occurred in the past and whether such a process could have been possible.

The first step in this process is a hypothetical condition within which lifeless matter could engender a living organism.

Before looking at this condition, we must recall a law that has been recognized in biology since the time of Pasteur: “Life comes from life.” That is, a living organism can be generated only from another living organism. For example, mammals are born from their mothers. In many other species of animals the young are born from eggs that had been laid by the mothers. Plants grow out of seeds. Single-cell organisms such as bacteria divide and multiply.

Nothing has ever been observed to the contrary. Throughout the history of the world no one has ever witnessed lifeless matter giving birth to a living being. Of course, there were those in Ancient Egypt, Greece and the Middle Ages who thought they had observed such an outcome; the Egyptians believed that frogs sprang from the mud of the Nile, a belief also sustained by Ancient Greek philosophers, such as Aristotle. In the Middle Ages it was believed that mice were begotten from the wheat of granaries. However, all these beliefs proved to be out of ignorance, and finally, in his famous experiments in the 1860’s, Pasteur proved that even bacteria, the most basic form of life, did not come to be without a predecessor, that is, it is not possible for lifeless things to produce life.

But, the theory of evolution is dependent on this impossibility because it claims that living things were born and developed without the involvement of a Creator, and this requires that, at the first stage of this proposed scenario, living things be generated by chance.

Darwin attempted to describe the origins of life, about which he knew little, in a short sentence, wherein he stated that life must have first appeared “some warm little pond,” but evolutionists that followed him became concerned about elaborating on this matter. However, efforts made throughout the twentieth century to produce an evolutionist explanation of the origins of life resulted only in deepening the impasse in which evolutionists had found themselves. Apart from the fact that evolutionists have not been able to give the slightest scientific proof that life can be generated from lifeless matter, they have also not been able to provide even a theoretical explanation. This is because the structure of the most basic single-celled living organism is highly complex. It is mathematically impossible that even a cell’s basic constituents—proteins, DNA or RNA—could have come to be by chance, much less the cell itself.

Because of the rudimentary scientific understanding of his day, Aristotle proposed certain mythical explanations still accepted today in Masonic literature.

The fact that the probability of life generating by chance is zero alone proves the existence of order, in other words the fact of Creation. On this matter, the famous English astronomer and mathematician, Fred Hoyle, makes this comment:


This “psychological reason” that Hoyle mentions is the evolutionists’ disposition by which they insist on rejecting, in advance, every result that should lead them to accept the existence of Allah and their conditioning themselves for this.

In our other works focusing on the invalidity of the theory of evolution, we cited many admissions of this fact by the evolutionists and we examined the irrational hypotheses that evolutionists have blindly proposed merely in order to not accept the existence of Allah. At this point though, we will focus our attention on the Masonic lodges to see their view on this matter. While it is so clearly evident that “life was brought into being by an intelligent Creator,” what do the Masons think about the question?

Master Mason, Selami Isindag, in his book intended for Mason audience, entitled Evrim Yolu (The Way of Evolution), explains the matter in this way:

“The most important characteristic of our school of morality is that we do not depart from the principles of logic and we do not enter the unknowns of theism, secret meanings or dogmas. On this basis we assert that the first appearance of life began in crystals under conditions that we cannot know or discover today. Living things were born according to the law of evolution and slowly spread over the earth. As a result of evolution, today’s human beings came to be and advanced beyond other animals both in consciousness and intelligence.”

It is important to notice the connection between cause and effect suggested in the above quotation: Isindag stresses that the most important characteristic of Masonry is that it rejects theism, that is, belief in Allah. And immediately afterwards, he claims “on this basis” that life arose spontaneously from lifeless matter, and later underwent evolution that resulted in the appearance of human beings.

It will be noticed that Isindag brings no scientific evidence to bear on the theory of evolution. (The fact that there is no scientific evidence is presupposed by the obtuse words these are facts “that we cannot know or discover today”). The only support that Isindag supplies for the theory of evolution is the Masonic non-acceptance of theism.

In other words, Masons are evolutionists because they do not accept the existence of Allah. This is the only reason for their being evolutionists.

In the constitution of the “Great Council of Turkey” organized by Turkish Masons of the 33rd degree, the evolution scenario was once again restated, and the Masons’ rejection of the Creationist explanation expressed in these words:



When we look at Masonic literature, apart from their blind attachment to the theory of evolution, we are struck by its profound ignorance. For example, when we examine Turkish sources, we see that evolutionist claims that were proved false in the first quarter of the twentieth century are still defended passionately. One of these is the story of Haeckel and his theory on embryos mentioned in nearly all Masonic publications.

The story is about a German biologist by the name of Ernst Haeckel, who was a close friend and supporter of Charles Darwin, and one of the most prominent supporters of the theory after Darwin’s death. In order to establish the validity of the theory, Haeckel examined the embryos of various living things, and proposed that they all resembled one another and that each undergoes a miniature process of evolution before birth. To support this claim, he drew a number of comparisons between different embryos, by means of which he persuaded many of the validity of the theory of evolution in the first half of the twentieth century.

As we mentioned, Masonic sources place great importance on this embryology thesis, which is termed “‘ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” Master Naki Cevad Akkerman, in an article entitled “The Concept of Truth and the Principles of Masonry” in Mimar Sinan, calls this thesis a “law,” that is, he raises it to the rank of undisputable scientific fact. He writes:

“…We will consider a very important natural law. This is the formula proposed by Haeckel, “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” If we take a human being as an example, the meaning of the law is as follows: The morphological changes and changes in the order and function of the organs that a human being undergoes, from the first cellular formation in his mother’s womb, until he is born and during his life until he dies, is nothing more than a recapitulation of the changes that he has undergone since the beginning, from his initial cellular formation in earth and in water until today.”

Master Mason Selami Isindag also places great importance on Haeckel’s theory. In an article entitled “Masonic Doctrines” he writes “In his experiments, Darwin proved that various species of animals first developed from a single cell and later from a single species.” Then he adds:

“Haeckel made studies supporting all these experimental findings. He believed that the most basic animal, the Monera, became an organic living thing from inorganic material elements. He demonstrated that there was a unity at the basis of everything. This Monism is a combination of matter and spirit. These are two aspects of the substance that forms their basis. What Masonry believes is in conformity with these scientific and experimental findings.”

“In another Masonic text Haeckel is referred to as a “great scholar,” and his thesis that “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” is claimed as proof of the theory of evolution.” 

However, the Ernst Haeckel that Masons believe to be a great scholar was an imposter who deliberately falsified scientific discoveries, and the thesis they accept as a “law” (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny) is one of the greatest deceits in the history of science.

This deceit is found in the drawings of embryos made by Haeckel. In order to demonstrate the similarity between the embryos of human beings, chickens, rabbits, salamanders, which in reality shared no such resemblance to each other, he falsified the drawings. In some cases, he took the organs out of the embryos, in other cases he added organs. Moreover, he altered the actual size of the embryos in an attempt to show them as all the same size. In short, Haeckel conducted this falsification in order to fabricate evidence where there otherwise was none. The reputable science journal by the name of Science contained an article in its September 5 1997 edition that stated: “In reality…even closely related embryos such as those of fish vary quite a bit in their appearance and developmental pathway…It (Haeckel’s drawings) looks like it’s turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in biology.”

Interestingly, this deception has long been recognized for many years. Haeckel’s drawings were shown to be falsifications already in his own lifetime (1910), with he himself admitted to it. In an article published in American Scientist we read: “Surely the biogenetic law is as dead as a doornail… As a topic of serious theoretical inquiry it was extinct in the twenties…”

In spite of this, evolutionists continued to use these drawings for decades with the sole intention of deceiving the masses who had no knowledge of the topic.

There is only one reason why Masons regard Haeckel’s theory as a proof for the theory of evolution, and think of him as a great scholar: The Masons’ dedication to the theory of evolution is not based on their passion for knowledge and truth, as they claim, but, on the contrary, out of ignorance.

It is possible here to recognize Masonic fanaticism. When the writer says that they “reject a kind of creation that excludes man,” he is repeating the basic dogma of humanism, that “a human being is the highest creature that exists,” and announcing that Masons reject any other explanation. When he says, “an abnormal kind of creation,” he means Allah’s intervention in the creation of living beings, rejecting this possibility a priority. (However, what is truly abnormal is that Masons accept, without observation or experiment, the illogical belief that lifeless matter came to life by chance and formed life on earth, including human beings.) It will be noticed that according to the Masonic explanation there is no suggestion of scientific proof. Masons do not say, “There is proof for evolution and therefore we reject Creation.” They are only blinded by a philosophical fanaticism.

Masonic publications insist on this tenet. Master Mason Selami Isindag claims that “apart from nature there is no force that guides us, and is responsible for our thoughts and actions.” He immediately adds, “life began from one cell and reached its present stage as a result of various changes and evolutions.” Later he summarizes what the theory of evolution means for Masons:


This assertion shows clearly why Masons attach such importance to the theory of evolution. Their aim is to defend the idea that human beings were not created and to present their own humanist materialist philosophy as tenable. And, the only method that can be used to reject the idea that human beings were created is the theory of evolution. So, it is for this reason that Masons, to whatever extent, believe in the theory of evolution and seek to disseminate it throughout society.

This shows that Masons, who are constantly accusing those who believe in Allah of being dogmatic, are themselves dogmatic.

Masonic Dogmatism and Traditionalism

Dogmatism means to blindly and insistently support a view, for whose validity there is no proof, because of a certain psychological predisposition. A dogmatic person does not investigate or reconsider something he believes in whether or not there is any proof for it. He accepts it totally and sticks to it adamantly.

Masons and other anti-religious groups regularly use the term “dogmatic” to refer to those who believe in Allah. We encounter this accusation frequently today. For example, in a debate about the theory of evolution, the evolutionist side will probably accuse those who do not accept the theory as dogmatic, and declare themselves scientific by maintaining that science has no interest in “dogmas.”

However, this accusation is false. Belief in the existence of Allah, and that He created all beings, is a fact proven by much rational and scientific evidence. There is great balance, order and organization in nature, and it is clear that this was established intelligently and with deliberate purpose.

It is for this reason that the Qur’an calls human beings to discover the signs of Allah, and invites them to consider this balance, order and organization, and in many verses commands them to think about the proofs in the heavens and on earth of the existence of Allah. Those proofs pointed out in the Qur’an are such phenomena as, not only the balance and order in the universe, but the suitability of the world to human life, the structure of plants and animals, the miraculous features of the human body, and the spiritual qualities of human beings, all of which has been substantiated by modern science.

Rather, dogmatism is a quality of those who refuse to consider these things, and reject Allah while continuing to defend the view that the universe exists by its own accord and that living things came to be by chance. Masons are a true example of such an outlook. Despite the fact that the proofs for Allah’s existence are evident, they prefer to ignore and reject them in favor of the humanist and materialist philosophy.

In the Qur’an, Allah refers to of those of such a mentality:



These verses show that the godless, despite the fact that they see the proofs for Allah, “argue about Allah,” that is, they engage in a war against His religion. The reason for this is that these godless people follow what they found their fathers doing, that is, they are mired in a blind traditionalism.

Evidently, traditionalism defines very well the history and philosophy of Masonry as we have been examining it from the beginning of this article.

Indeed, traditionalism is a word that describes Masonry very well because Masonry is nothing other than an “organization of traditions,” whose roots go back thousands of years to earlier pagan societies. It blindly follows the traditions of Ancient Egypt, of the pharaohs and their magicians, Ancient Greek materialist philosophers, Hermeticists, Kabbalists, Templars, Rosicrucians and of Masons before them.

Masonry is the continuation of narrow-minded traditionalism. Modern Masonry maintains the same superstitious beliefs that their “brothers” have defended uncritically for centuries

It is important to recognize this traditionalism. In modern Masonic lodges, legends, symbols and words that are thousands of years old, are still used. Despite the fact that nearly all Masons have a high level of education, and occupy some of the highest positions in society, they organize ceremonies in which they take gilt swords and skulls into their hands, murmur words in Ancient Egyptian, stand before columns modeled on Ancient Egyptian temples in silver aprons, white gloves and even more strange costumes and make profound oaths. If a person who knows nothing about Masonry is brought into one of their lodges, he will probably think that he is visiting a comedy film-set, and perhaps not be able to stop himself from laughing when he sees Masons in the course of the initiation ceremony, with their eyes blindfolded, ropes around their necks, and walking around with one bare foot. But, Masons, living in their secret world, regard these strange ceremonies as very normal, and find psychological satisfaction in the mystical atmosphere of their lodges. After these ceremonies, they sit and talk with one another about their beliefs that “atoms have spirits and come together to form living things,” that “the world attained its balance because of the hidden intelligence in magma,” or that Mother Nature has created us very well” and other myths. This whole charade is staged only to preserve tradition, and is so clearly devoid of reason that it is amazing that such a system of ideas could still survive and be defended.

The Masons’ blind attachment to their traditions clearly shows the great importance they give to the idea of the “landmark.” A landmark is a place or object that symbolizes something that has historical importance or meaning. In Masonic language, landmarks are the rules that have been passed down unchanged since the foundation of the organization. Why did they not change? The Masons offer an interesting answer to this question. An article published in Mimar Sinan in 1992 says:

“Masonry’s Landmarks are very old laws that have been passed on from age to age and generation to generation. No one knows when they appeared and no one has the right to change them or cancel them. They are written and unwritten laws of the society. The unwritten laws can be learned only from the rituals and rites of the lodge. There are six written laws that can be found under the title “The Obligations of a Freemason” first published in the English Constitution in 1723.”

Let us examine these words closely: An organization called Masonry exists. The members of this organization have for centuries followed a number of laws whose origins are unknown. Moreover, they are quite determined that no one alter these laws. Not one of them comes forward to ask why they follow them!… And, for the sake of following these laws, they readily ignore the discoveries of science and their logical conclusions. Can it be that such a society is following the path of “reason” and “science”?

Another part of the article quoted above, states literally that a Mason must obey the laws without questioning:

In my opinion, a landmark is such an old part of Masonry that I have never been curious about their origins neither in the lodge nor in my activities as a freemason. I cannot help analyzing why I should feel this way but I feel that if the structure of Freemasonry is not altered it will last…..I live with it without exerting any special effort.

The rules that have been accepted as Masonry’s constitution have been preserved unchanged for centuries.

How can an organization comprised of followers who believe and abide by laws about whose origins they are not curious be regarded as reasonable?…

Surely, Masonry’s claim to be reasonable and scientific is completely hollow. Like other materialists, they too, despite the fact that they continually use the terms of reason and science, insistently defend a philosophy that has no logical or scientific support, and turn away from the facts that science has discovered. Essentially, what has led Masons into such error, or indeed spellbound them, is their blind attachment to their traditions.

This shows that the teaching of Masonry is deceptive. It alienated people from their belief in Allah, making them fall into superstition by following empty laws, myths and legends. What is revealed in the Qur’an about the pagans of Saba, who abandoned Allah to prostrate themselves before the Sun, is valid also for Masonry: “Satan has made their actions seem good to them and debarred them from the Way so they are not guided” (Surat an-Naml: 24) Masons reject the religion of Allah in favor of an outmoded doctrine that they elaborate upon with gilt symbols and mystical elements.

Moreover, not content with rejecting Allah, they fight against religious moral values, a struggle they have been engaged in a very long time.

The Masonic War Against Religion

The existence of Masonry was first officially announced in England in 1717. Before this date, it had already spread first in England, then in France and the rest of Europe, and became a primary meeting-place for the opponents of religion. Many European Masons met in their lodges, announcing themselves as “free thinkers,” by which they meant that they did not recognize Divine religions. An article entitled “The First Periods of Masonry” in Mimar Sinan, says, “The place where Masons gathered to seek truth outside the churches became a refuge.”


An article entitled “Politics and Freemasonry,” that appeared in Mimar Sinan, maintains the following about the struggle against religion:


There is no doubt that here the Masonic writer is using language favoring his own organization when he states that Masonry is fighting a war against church domination. But, when we examine the matter more closely, we see that in many countries, that same “domination” was convenient for regimes founded or supported by Masons. Therefore, we may easily recognize that Masonry’s claim to be fighting against “domination” is pretense. Despite the fact that the Church—because Christianity had become distorted—preserved scholastic ideas and oppressive practices, Masonry’s hostility toward the Church was not founded on this but from its hatred of traditional monotheist religions.


Example of a Masonic Lodge: The Hell-Fire Club

In order to understand how eighteenth century Masonry was organized, and what it attempted to achieve, one of the things we must proceed to do is examine the various secret Masonic societies that came to be at that period. One such society was the “Hell-Fire Club,” that was active in England in the middle of the eighteenth century. The Masonic structure of this club and its anti-religious, pagan character, is described by the Masonic writer Daniel Willens in his article, “The Hell-Fire Club: Sex, Politics and Religion in Eighteenth-Century in England.” Here are some interesting passages from that article published in Gnosis, a journal of Western inner traditions:

This “unholy sodality,” as it has been called, styled themselves, with suitably Gothic flair, “The Friars of St. Francis of Medmenham,” though they have been immortalized by their popular epithet “The Hell-Fire Club.” In that gossipy age there was much speculation about the infernal activities of the society, and in 1765, Charles Johnstone published a roman a clef entitled Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, which was popularly believed to reveal the secrets of the “Medmenham Monks.” …


…the Monks’ most important precursor is the Hell-Fire Club founded around 1719 in London by Philip, Duke of Wharton (1698-1731). Wharton was a prominent Whig politician, Freemason, and atheist who sought to ridicule religion by publicly presiding over festive gatherings with “satanic” trappings… and Wharton went on to become Grand Master Mason of the London Grand Lodge in 1722… 

By 1739, Dashwood was on the homeward leg of his journey. On his way, he stopped in Florence to see the Abbe Nicolini, and it was there that he met Lady  Mary Wortley Montagu… [who] would eventually join… Dashwood in the Divan Club. …Unfortunately things were not going well for Freemasonry in Italy. Pope Clement XII had recently issued the bull In Eminenti Apostalatus Specula, unleashing the Inquisition against the lodges. By early 1740, the pontiff was dead, and Dashwood went to Rome for the conclave that would elect the new pope. There he playfully assumed the identity of Cardinal Ottiboni, one of the chief persecutors of the Masons, and lampooned him publicly in a scurrilous mock ritual….

The “chapter-room” is the key to understanding the Monks’ activities. Its furnishings remain unknown, and consequently the use to which it was put remains a mystery. Sensationalist authors assume it was a satanic sanctuary, although it seems more reasonable to conclude that it was used for Masonic ceremonies. John Wilkes, an important member of the Medmenham circle who did not become a Freemason until after his parting of the ways with the group, whines in an article defaming his former friend: “No profane eye has dared to penetrate into the English Eleusinian mysteries of the chapter-room, where the monks assembled on all solemn occasions, the more secret rites were performed and libations poured forth in much pomp to the BONA DEA.” … Sir Robert Walpole’s son Horace, one of Dashwood’s political enemies and certainly a stranger to the abbey, mocked: “Whatever their doctrines were, their practice was rigorously pagan: Bacchus and Venus were the deities to whom they almost publicly sacrificed; and the nymphs and the hogsheads that were laid in against the festivals of this new church, sufficiently informed the neighbourhood of the complexion of those hermits.” …


The whole question of religion is central to the fascination that Dashwood continues to exercise. …A more sophisticated interpretation might seize upon the rumours of sexual magic, the abbey’s kabbalistic book, the recurring image of Harpocrates, Dashwood’s tenuous connection with the Masonic Order of the Temple, and of course the Thelemic motto on Medmenham Abbey to conclude that the Hell-Fire Club was an early manifestation of “Crowleyanity.”A more sober-minded approach would pick out Dashwood’s Masonic contacts and conclude, probably correctly, that the “chapter-room” was a Masonic temple.



The Struggle Against Religion in France



The French Revolution was basically a revolution against religion. In the determined effort of the revolutionaries to get rid of the clergy, as well as the aristocracy, many clergymen were killed, religious institutions destroyed, and places of worship ruined. The Jacobins wanted even to destroy Christianity completely, and replace it with a pagan belief they called “religion of reason.” But, within a short time, they lost control of the revolution and France was thrown into total disorder.

Masonry’s mission in that country did not stop with the revolution. The disorder that came as a result of the revolution was finally settled when Napoleon came to power. But, this stability did not last long; Napoleon’s ambition to rule the whole of Europe only brought an end to his power. Afterwards, the conflict in France continued between the monarchists and the revolutionists. In 1830, 1848 and 1871, three more revolutions occurred. In 1848, the “Second Republic” was founded; in 1871 the “Third Republic” was established.

Masons were very active throughout this period of agitation. Their primary aim was to weaken the Church and its religious institutions, destroy the values of religion and the influence of its laws on society, and to abolish religious education. Masons regarded “anti-clericalism” as the center of their social and political activities.


From the official documents of French Masonry contained principally in the official “Bulletin” and “Compte-rendu” of the Grand Orient it has been proved that all the anti-clerical measures passed in the French Parliament were decreed beforehand in the Masonic lodges and executed under the direction of the Grand Orient, whose avowed aim is to control everything and everybody in France. “I said in the assembly of 1898,” states the deputy Massé, the official orator of the Assembly of 1903, “that it is the supreme duty of Freemasonry to interfere each day more and more in political and profane struggles.” “Success (in the anti-clerical combat) is in a large measure due to Freemasonry; for it is its spirit, its programme, its methods, that have triumphed.” “If the Bloc has been established, this is owing to Freemasonry and to the discipline learned in the lodges“…”We need vigilance and above all mutual confidence, if we are to accomplish our work, as yet unfinished. This work, you know . . . the anti-clerical combat, is going on. The Republic must rid itself of the religious congregations, sweeping them off by a vigorous stroke. The system of half measures is everywhere dangerous; the adversary must be crushed with a single blow.”

The Catholic Encyclopedia continues its account of French Masonry’s struggle against religion:

“In truth all the “anti-clerical” Masonic reforms carried out in France since 1877, such as the secularization of education, measures against private Christian schools and charitable establishments, the suppression of the religious orders and the spoliation of the Church, professedly culminate in an anti-Christian and irreligious reorganization of human society, not only in France but throughout the world. Thus French Freemasonry, as the standard-bearer of all Freemasonry, pretends to inaugurate the golden era of the Masonic universal republic, comprising in Masonic brotherhood all men and all nations. “The triumph of the Galilean,” said the president of the Grand Orient, Senator Delpech, on 20 September, 1902, “has lasted twenty centuries. But now he dies in his turn…. The Romish Church, founded on the Galilean myth, began to decay rapidly from the very day on which the Masonic Association was established”

By the “Galilean” the Masons mean the Prophet Jesus (‘Eesa alayhissalaam), because according to the Gospel, the Prophet Jesus (‘Eesa alayhissalaam) was born in the Palestinian region of Galilee. Therefore, the Masons’ hatred for the Church is an expression of their hatred for the Prophet Jesus (‘Eesa alayhissalaam) and all monotheistic religions. They thought that they had destroyed the effect of the Divine religions with the materialist, Darwinist and humanist philosophies they established in the nineteenth century, and returned Europe to its pre-Christian paganism.

When these words were uttered in 1902, a series of laws passed in France broadened the scope of religious opposition. 3,000 religious schools were closed and it was forbidden to give any religious education in schools. Many of the clergy were arrested, some were exiled and religious persons began to be regarded as second-class citizens. For this reason, in 1904, the Vatican broke all diplomatic relations with France but this did not change the country’s attitude. It took the loss of the lives of hundreds of thousands of French men against the German army in the First World War before the country’s arrogance was tamed and it again recognized the importance of spiritual values.

As The Catholic Encyclopedia maintains, the war against religion, from the French Revolution to the twentieth century, was carried out by “the anti-clerical measures passed in the French Parliament” which “were decreed beforehand in the Masonic lodges and executed under the direction of the Grand Orient.” This fact is clear from Masonic writings. For example, a quotation from a Turkish publication of “A Speech Made by Brother Gambetta on July 8 1875 in the Clémente Amitié Lodge” reads:


It will be noticed that Masonic literature consistently presents its own ideas as “far-sighted” while accusing religious people of being “backward.” However, this is merely a play on words. The notion of “the specter of reaction,” mentioned in the above quotation, is something that sincere religious people also oppose, but which Masons exploit to take aim at true religion in their attempt to alienate people from it. Moreover, it must again be emphasized that the materialist-humanist philosophy espoused by Masons is really a superstitious, backward system of ideas, a hold-over of the pagan civilizations of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece.

Therefore, the Masons’ use of terms like “far-sightedness” and “backwardness” has no basis in reality. Indeed, it is unfounded because the struggle between Masons and religious people is nothing more than the perpetuation of the struggle between two ideas that have existed since the earliest ages of history. It is religion that proclaims the first of these ideas: that humanity was created by the will of Allah and that human beings are responsible to worship Him. This is the truth. The opposing idea, that human beings were not created but live vain and purposeless lives, is the one proposed by those who deny the existence of Allah. When correctly understood, it can be seen that their use of the superficial terms of “backwardness” and “far-sightedness” has no basis.

By making use of the idea of “progress,” Masons seek to destroy religion. The “Catholic Encyclopedia” states:

The following are deemed the principal means [of freemasonry]:

(1) To destroy radically by open persecution of the Church or by a hypocritical fraudulent system of separation between State and Church,all social influence of the Church and of religion, insidiously called “clericalism,” and, as far as possible, to destroy the Church and all true, i.e., superhuman religion, which is more than a vague cult of fatherland and of humanity;


It can be seen that Masonry has put a program into effect, under the name of “the liberation of society,” whose purpose is to eradicate religion, a program that is still being implemented. This must not be confused with a model that seeks to provide the opportunity for every citizen of whatever religious faith to practice his faith freely. Rather, the model envisioned by Masonry is one of mass brainwashing, designed to remove religion completely from society and the minds of individuals and, if necessary, to persecute its adherents.


One such country is Germany.

The Campaign Against Religion in Germany: “Kulturkampf”


Bismarck was a successful statesman, especially in foreign politics, but did not enjoy the same success in domestic affairs. One of the reasons for this was a group of intellectuals known as the “National Liberals,” similar to the French anti-clerics, that adopted an anti-religious policy. In order to achieve the unity of Germany, the National Liberals believed it was necessary to rid the people of any sense of affiliation outside their borders, and regarded the relationship between one third of the population and the Catholic Pope as the largest obstacle to this. Encouraged by the National Liberals, Bismarck embarked on an anti-Catholic campaign known as the Kulturkampf, or “culture war.” It was also described as a struggle to control the minds of Germans.


In 1872, in compliance with a law that had been passed, all Jesuit priests in the country were rounded up in a single night and their institutions confiscated. In compliance with the “May laws,” (maigesetze) passed in 1873, all priests working for the government were fired, the Church was forbidden involvement in all matters related to marriages and education, and topics of sermons was restricted. A number of archbishops were arrested and 1300 churches were eventually found without a priest.

But, because these tactics produced a strong reaction among the Catholics of the country against the government, the Kulturkampf was relaxed. Bismarck ignored the suggestions of the National Liberals, who had led him into this campaign, and restrained the Kulturkampf little by little until he finally cancelled it completely. This whole campaign resulted in nothing other than the oppression of faithful German Catholics, and the ruin of the country’s sense of social well-being. Many historians today believe that it was a fiasco that shattered Germany’s sense of social security. Moreover, after Germany, the wave of this Kulturkampf encompassed Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland, causing a great social tension in these countries.


“But they (Masons) certainly furthered the movement by which Prussia gradually became the leading state of Germany, considered by them as the “representative and the protector of modern evolution” against “Ultramontanism,” “bigotry,” and “Papal usurpations.” They also instigated the “Kulturkampf.” The celebrated jurisconsult and Mason, Grandmaster Bluntschli, was one of the foremost agitators in this conflict; he also stirred up the Swiss “Kulturkampf”… German Freemasons put forth untiring efforts to exert a decisive influence on the whole life of the nation in keeping with Masonic principles, thus maintaining a perpetual silent “Kulturkampf.” The principal means which they employ are popular libraries, conferences, the affiliation of kindred associations and institutions, the creation, where necessary, of new institutions, through which the Masonic spirit permeates the nation.”

That is, in spite of the fact that the Kulturkampf was stopped officially by Bismarck, it was nevertheless continued by Masons, as an on-going anti-religious propaganda campaign directed at society at large. The bitterest fruits of this struggle were reaped in the 1920’s: the Nazis, who aimed to convert the German nation back to their pre-Christian paganism, gradually gained strength and came to power in 1933. One of the most important actions of the Nazis was their initiation of a second Kulturkampf against religious authority. The American commentator Elbridge Colby explains that “the Nazis opened a new Kulturkampf against the Catholic Church, jailing priests and deposing bishops; unlike 1874, however, Hitler also moved against the established Protestant.”

In short, the activities initiated by Masons to alienate society from religion gave rise to one of history’s most brutal dictatorships, the Nazi “Reich,” and drew the world into the World War Two in which 55 million persons lost their lives.


The Struggle Against Religion in Italy

Another country in which Masonic activities were evident was Italy.


Masonry began its struggle against religion in Italy by means of another secret society that it founded and controlled. This society was known as the “Carbonari”.




It is an accepted fact that the Carbonari were founded by the Masons who engaged in parallel revolutionary activities with them. After the July Revolution in France in 1830, the organization lost its influence and gradually disappeared. In Italy, it united with the “Young Italy” movement founded by Guiseppe Mazzini.


In short, we can say that Mazzini, Garibaldi and Cavour were three prominent leaders who performed important functions in the struggle against religion in Europe. Mazzini was not only a political leader in the struggle against religion, he also played a role as an ideologue. His slogan “every nation a state” was the spark that ignited minority rebellions, which were to be the cause of the fall of multi-ethnic empires, such as the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires. This slogan of Mazzini alienated people from their sense of religious fraternity; it was a call that pushed them into ethnic conflict with one another and inspired them to “fanatical rage”.(Surat al-Fath: 26). 



Masonic Revolutionary Agenda in Russia


Apart from Italy, it is also possible to find traces of Masonic revolutionary activities in many other countries of Europe. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “In…the later revolutionary movements in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Central and South America, Masonic bodies, it is claimed, took a more or less active part… In Russia also Freemasonry finally turned out to be a ‘political conspiracy’ of Masonically organized clubs that covered the land.”

The Masonic plot in Russia is especially interesting.


Three years after Tsar Alexander I outlawed the lodges, he became ill and passed away. He was succeeded by Tsar Nicholas I. But, Tsar Nicholas’ succession came as a result of a series of disputes and intrigues and gave rise to a disorderly situation in the country. Certain individuals who had wanted to bring stability to the situation by toppling the regime had planned a coup against the new Tsar. They had many supporters in the army. Confident in this support, a number of revolutionary soldiers, together with a number of civilians, marched into the Tsar’s palace, in the capital of St.Petersburg, on the 14th of December 1825. There was an armed encounter between the revolutionaries and the forces of the Tsar in which the revolutionaries were defeated. This group was called the “Decembrists” because of the month in which they attempted their revolution. The leaders of this group were arrested and five were hanged.


The venture of the Decembrists ended in failure, but the Masons did not give up their intent to topple the Tsar. Masons always played an important role in those groups organized in the nineteenth and first quarter of the twentieth centuries against the Tsarist regime. In the 1917 February Revolution, the leader, Alexander Kerensky, and nearly all his close supporters were all Masons. And the majority of the new government was composed of Masons. The only contribution to history that the short-lived Kerensky Government made was to deliver the country into the hands of Lenin and the Bolsheviks he led.

Twentieth-Century Masonry: Silent And Remote


Strange Rites in the Temple of Humanism

Masons want to make the whole world a “temple.” But, the temple they envision is not the temple of true religion but of humanism. Their dream is of a perverted world in which humanity is idolized, where people have completely rejected true religion, and the evolutionist philosophy is regarded as the only true philosophy.







An American Mason sums up this method as follows:

“Freemasonry does its work silently, but it is the work of a deep river, that silently pushes on towards the ocean.”




According to Voice magazine, published by the Grand Lodge in Chicago, “So, silently but surely and continually, it [Masonry] builds into the great fabric of human society” This “building into the great fabric” will come about when the basics of Masonic philosophy—materialism, humanism and Darwinism—are imposed on society.



However, these ideas, which Masonry persistently studies and tries to indoctrinate to society are nothing more, as we have seen in earlier sections, than deceit. Masonry’s philosophy stems from sources such as the myths of Ancient Egypt and Greece, and in their eagerness to transmit these myths to society, wrapped in the package of science and reason, Masons deceive both themselves and others. In an age of globalization, this is the role of “Global Freemasonry.”



It is for this reason that human beings must protect themselves from this potential calamity, by overcoming the intimations of what Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, a renowned Islamic scholar, referred to as “the disease called materialism and naturalism,” and in this way preserve the faith of the masses.


Masonry has been one of most interesting phenomena of the past two centuries. Naturally, it has attracted attention because of its closed, reserved and mystical character. At the same time, an antipathy to Masonry has arisen; it attempts to advertise itself as a “harmless charitable institution,” while a determined opposition to Masonry has grown as a result of the contradictory claims of the organization.







It needs to be made clear that science, that Masons have used supposedly in support of their philosophy for the past two hundred years, has now turned against them. The theory of evolution, the foundation of the materialist world view, has been in severe decline since the 1970’s. The fossil record clearly denies the claims of this theory, by revealing that species appeared abruptly and fully formed, without an “evolutionary ancestor.” Biochemistry, examining minute aspects of living things, has demonstrated marvelous instances that cannot be explained in terms of natural causes. Genetic comparisons have shown that species supposed to be close relatives, according to the Darwinist “tree of life,” are in fact very distinct in terms of genetic make-up. Science has proven the invalidity of the theory of evolution, a fact that cannot be hidden any longer by evolutionists. It is necessary to use the evidences that science has brought forward and inform the masses of the invalidity of materialist-humanist philosophy.


When Muslims undertake this duty, with Allah’s permission, the following pronouncement will become manifest: “Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through it and it vanishes clean away!” (Surat al-Anbiya’:18)

Then, the twenty-first century will not be the century of “Global Freemasonry” as the Masons had hoped, but the century of Islamic morality.

They said “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. 

Answering Darwinism/Evolution

[By Adnan Oktar (Book: Darwinism refuted)]


Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including himself, came into existence, will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is “creation,” the idea that all living things came into existence as a consequence of an intelligent design. The second explanation is the theory of “evolution,” which asserts that living things are not the products of an intelligent design, but of coincidental causes and natural processes.








Charles Darwin based his theory on various observations he made as a young naturalist on board the H.M.S Beagle , which sailed in late 1831 on a five-year official voyage around the world.  Young Darwin was heavily influenced by the diversity of species he observed, especially of the different Galapagos Island finches. The differences in the beaks of these birds, Darwin thought, were a result of their adaptation to their different environments.


What made Darwin’s theory different from Lamarck’s was his emphasis on “natural selection.” Darwin theorized that there is a struggle for survival in nature, and that natural selection is the survival of strong species, which can adapt to their environment. Darwin adopted the following line of reasoning:




However, this “theory of evolution by natural selection” gave rise to doubts from the very first:

1-What were the “natural and coincidental variations” referred to by Darwin?? It was true that some cows were bigger than others, while some had darker colors, yet how could these variations provide an explanation for the diversity in animal and plant species??

2-Darwin asserted that “Living beings evolved gradually.” In this case, there should have lived millions of “transitional forms.”  Yet there was no trace of these theoretical creatures in the fossil record. Darwin gave considerable thought to this problem, and eventually arrived at the conclusion that “further research would provide these fossils.”


4-Before considering these questions, consider the following: How did the first organism, the so-called ancestor of all species according to Darwin, come into existence?? Could natural processes give life to something which was originally inanimate??

Darwin was, at least, aware of some these questions, as can be seen from the chapter “Difficulties of the Theory.” However, the answers he provided had no scientific validity.

H.S. Lipson, a British physicist, makes the following comments about these “difficulties” of Darwin’s:

On reading The Origin of Specie s, I found that Darwin was much less sure himself than he is often represented to be; the chapter entitled “Difficulties of the Theory” for example, shows considerable self-doubt.  As a physicist, I was particularly intrigued by his comments on how the eye would have arisen.1

Darwin invested all his hopes in advanced scientific research, which he expected to dispel the “difficulties of the theory.” However, contrary to his expectations, more recent scientific findings have merely increased these difficulties.

The Problem of the Origin of Life


Similarly, the fact that maggots appeared in meat was believed to be evidence for spontaneous generation. However,  it was only realized some time later that maggots did not appear in meat Louis Pasteur destroyed the belief that life could be created from inanimate substances. spontaneously,  but were carried by flies in the form of larvae, invisible to the naked eye. Even in the period when Darwin’s Origin of Species was written, the belief that bacteria could come into existence from inanimate matter was widespread.



However, five years after the publication of Darwin’s book, Louis Pasteur announced his results after long studies and experiments, which disproved spontaneous generation, a cornerstone of Darwin’s theory.

In his triumphal lecture at the Sorbonne in 1864, Pasteur said, “Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.”2

Advocates of the theory of evolution refused to accept Pasteur’s findings for a long time. However, as scientific progress revealed the complex structure of the cell, the idea that life could come into being coincidentally faced an even greater impasse. We  shall consider this subject in some detail in this book.

The Problem of Genetics

Another subject that posed a quandary for Darwin’s theory was inheritance.  At the time when Darwin developed his theory, the question of how living beings transmitted their traits to other generations—that is, how inheritance took place—was not completely understood. That is why
the naive belief that inheritance was transmitted through blood was commonly accepted. Vague beliefs about inheritance led Darwin to base his theory on completely false grounds. Darwin assumed that natural selection was the “mechanism of evolution.”  Yet one question remained unanswered: How would these “useful traits” be selected and transmitted from one generation to the next? 

At this point, Darwin embraced the Lamarckian theory, that is, “the inheritance of acquired traits.” In his book The Great Evolution Mystery, Gordon R. Taylor, a researcher advocating the theory of evolution, expresses the view that Darwin was heavily influenced by Lamarck:

Lamarckism… is known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics… Darwin himself, as a matter of fact, was inclined to believe that such inheritance occurred and cited the reported case of a man who had lost his fingers and bred sons without fingers… [Darwin] had not, he said, gained a single idea from Lamarck. This was doubly ironical, for Darwin repeatedly toyed with the idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics and, if it is so dreadful, it is Darwin who should be denigrated rather than Lamarck… In the 1859 edition of his work, Darwin refers to ‘changes of external conditions’ causing variation but subsequently these conditions are described as directing variation and cooperating with natural selection in directing it… Every year he attributed more  and more  to the agency of use or disuse… By 1868 when he published Varieties of Animals and Plants under Domestication he gave a whole series of examples of supposed Lamarckian inheritance: such as a man losing part of his little finger and all his sons being born with deformed little fingers, and boys born with foreskins much reduced in length as a result of generations of circumcision.3

However, Lamarck’s thesis, as we have seen above, was disproved by the laws of genetic inheritance discovered by the  Austrian monk and botanist, Gregor Mendel. The concept of “useful traits” was therefore left unsupported. Genetic laws showed that acquired traits are not passed on, and that genetic inheritance takes place according to certain unchanging laws. These laws supported the view that species remain unchanged. No matter how much the cows that Darwin saw in England’s animal fairs bred, the species itself would never change: cows would always remain cows.



Gregor Mendel announced the laws of genetic inheritance that he discovered as a result of long experiment and observation in a scientific paper published in 1865. But this paper only attracted the attention of the scientific world towards the end of the century. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the truth of these laws had been accepted by the whole scientific community. This was a serious dead-end for Darwin’s theory, which tried to base the concept of “useful traits” on Lamarck.

Here we must correct a general misapprehension: Mendel opposed not only Lamarck’s model of evolution, but also Darwin’s.  As the article “Mendel’s Opposition to Evolution and to Darwin,” published in the Journal of Heredity , makes clear, “he [Mendel] was familiar with The genetic laws discovered by Mendel proved very damaging to the theory of evolution. The Origin of Species …and he was opposed to Darwin’s theory; Darwin was arguing for descent with modification through natural selection, Mendel was in favor of the orthodox doctrine of special creation.”4


The efforts of Neo-Darwinism



To  counter the fact of “genetic stability” (genetic homeostasis), this group of scientists employed the concept of “mutation,” which had been proposed by the Dutch botanist Hugo de Vries at the beginning of the 20th century. Mutations were defects that occurred, for unknown reasons, in the inheritance mechanism of living things. Organisms undergoing mutation developed some unusual structures, which deviated from the genetic information they inherited from their parents. The concept of ” random mutation ” was supposed to provide the answer to the question of the origin of the advantageous variations which caused living organisms to evolve according to Darwin’s theory—a phenomenon that Darwin himself was unable to explain, but simply tried to side-step by referring to Lamarck. The Geological Society of  America group named this new theory,  which was formulated by adding the concept of mutation to Darwin’s natural selection thesis, the ” synthetic theory of evolution ” or the ” ” modern synthesis .” In a short time, this theory came to be known as neo-Darwinism ” and its supporters as “neo-Darwinists. ”


The architects of Neo-Darwinism: Theodosius Dobzhansky,
Ernst Mayr, , and Julian Huxley.

Yet there was a serious problem: It was true that mutations changed the genetic data of living organisms, yet this change always occurred to the detriment of the living thing concerned.  All observed mutations ended up with disfigured, weak, or diseased individuals and, sometimes, led to the death of the organism. Hence, in an attempt to find examples of “useful mutations” which improve the genetic data in living organisms, neoDarwinists conducted many experiments and observations. For decades, they conducted mutation experiments on fruit flies and various other species. However, in none of these experiments could a mutation which improved the genetic data in a living being be seen.

Today the issue of mutation is still a great impasse for Darwinism. Despite the fact that the theory of natural selection considers mutations to be the unique source of “useful changes,” no mutations of any kind have been observed that are actually useful (that is, that improve the genetic information). In the following chapter, we will consider this issue in detail.

Another impasse for neo-Darwinists came from . Even in Darwin’s time, fossils were  already posing an important obstacle to the theory. While Darwin himself accepted the lack of fossils of “intermediate species,” he also predicted that further research would provide evidence of these lost transitional forms. However,  despite all the paleontologists’ efforts, the fossil record continued to remain a serious obstacle to the theory. One by one, concepts such as “vestigial organs,” “embryological recapitulation” and “homology” lost all significance in the light of new scientific findings.  All these issues are dealt with more  fully in the remaining chapters of this book.

A Theory in Crisis

We  have just reviewed in summary form the impasse Darwinism found itself in from the day it was first proposed. We  will later start to analyze the enormous dimensions of this deadlock. In doing this, our intention is to show that the theory of evolution is not indisputable scientific truth, as many people assume or try to impose on others. On the contrary, there is a glaring contradiction when the theory of evolution is compared to scientific findings in such diverse fields as the origin of life, population genetics, comparative anatomy,  paleontology, and biochemistry. In a word, evolution is a theory in “crisis.”
