added to human knowledge. According to scientific discoveries
it has been revealed that it is the unique law of water which
enables boats and ships to sail across vast stretches of water and
reach far-off destinations.
This law of water is called hydrostatics, one aspect of which
is buoyancy. Buoyancy is the upward pressure by any fluid on a
body partly or wholly immersed therein: it is equal to the weight
of the fluid displaced.
The sailing of the boat likewise produced within man the
feeling of gratitude, but in modern times this discovery of science
of the law of buoyancy has greatly added to the point of reference
for man in this regard. Now, with this new-found knowledge,
when anyone sees a boat or ship sailing at great speed across the
water, he is overwhelmed more than ever with feelings of
gratitude. This opportunity to demonstrate a high degree of
gratefulness has been created by modern scientific discoveries.

the enormous number of modern scientific discoveries that have
come to our knowledge. For the first time in human history,
scientific discoveries have given believers the great opportunity
to know the blessings of nature at a high level and acknowledge
their benefactor far more deeply.
The believers had this very great opportunity to be extremely
thankful to God, but at exactly the same time, satanic deception
caused their thinking to deviate and produced a negative
mentality. The entire Muslim world became a prey to hatred
and violence. As a result, people became deprived of experiences
which could have lead to profound gratitude to and an intense
realization of God.
This satanic deception is indeed something of enormous
proportions, that is why in the hadith this is called
dajjalism
.
How did this
