A false saying: “Religion is the Opium of the people”

This phrase was coined
by the Jew Karl Marx. He said these words, claiming thereby that religion
is the drug that numbs the minds of the people. 

His words are refuted by irrefutable fasts, which is that the
true religion, the faith of Ibraaheem which Allaah has enjoined upon His
creation, is a religion that revives hearts and minds, and motivates people,
pushing its followers to the forefront. It does not accept for its adherents
to be humiliated and subjected to oppression, subjugated by their enemies,
remaining silent in the face of falsehood and corruption, or adhering
blindly to rituals and habits without any authority from Allaah. Rather it
obliges them to be active and to prepare all their strength, and to subject
all resources on the face of the earth, or beneath it or in its atmosphere,
so as not to allow their enemies to beat them in this race. It requires them
to devote all their talents and energies for the sake of Allaah, so that His
Word may be supreme and suppress the word of those who fabricate lies about
Allaah, and to disavow themselves of any who rejects His religion and denies
the rule of His Law. 

This is the true religion, unlike what was said by this Jew
and his followers and students, who were groomed to fight this true
religion, the followers of which can never be defeated if they follow it as
it was revealed. 

With regard to other so-called religions, such as atheism and
idolatry, what this Jew said may be applied correctly to them, because their
people are restricted by the myths in which they believe, which place
obstacles in the path of scientific development and innovation.
