There is a strong, positive, and symbiotic correlation between materialism (defined as the philosophical belief that only physical matter exists) and secular knowledge (knowledge independent of religious authority), as both are fundamental components of modern scientific and empirical worldviews.

This relationship is characterized by the replacement of religious doctrine with natural laws.

Both systems hold that knowledge is best derived through observation, experimentation, and critical thinking rather than Divine revelation.

Materialism argues that reality is entirely physical, which demands a secular, non-religious approach to knowledge thus rejecting Divine knowledge.

These systems emphasize separation of supreme authority and civil responsibility, encouraging knowledge systems that are not subservient to faith.

Secular materialism often drives a focus on practical knowledge and the accumulation of resources.

Overall, the correlation is such that increased dependence on experimental, secular knowledge often leads to a more materialist understanding of the universe, and similarly, a materialist outlook drives the demand for scientific and observational verification.

Two Muslim Empires who were at the height of Materialism and Secular Knowledge of their time were brought down unexpectedly.

1. The fall of Khawarazmian Empire in 13th century: The Khwarazmian Empire fell rapidly between 1219 and 1221 following a catastrophic war with Genghis Khan. The swift destruction of the empire, turned into one of the most significant and brutal conquests of the 13th century, solidifying Mongol control over Central Asia, killing 5 to 10 million people. The event marked the loss of 5 centuries of scientific, mathematical, and philosophical knowledge.

The Khwarazmian Empire was a tremendously wealthy, influential 13th-century superpower in Central Asia. It thrived due to its control over key Silk Road trade routes, producing skilled artisans and luxurious goods like silk and intricate ceramics. The empire dominated trade routes, with cities acting as major economic hubs and warehouse for wealth, goods, and gold. The capital, Gurganj, was renowned as a flourishing and beautiful city. The empire was renowned for high-quality workshops that produced metalwork, carpets, and glazed pottery. Its position between China and Europe made it a wealthy "middleman" of trade.

This immense wealth and vast territory made the Khwarazmian Empire one of the largest and most powerful dominions in the Muslim world during its peak in the 1210s. However, this prosperity was rapidly destroyed after a diplomatic incident led to a devastating invasion by Genghis Khan.

After breaching the walls of rich cities, Genghis Khan saw vast amounts of gold and silver. Viewing them as a "Scourge of God" sent to punish the people for their arrogance, materialism, and lack of true strength.

After the Siege of Baghdad in 1258 (attributed to Hulagu Khan (Genghis Khan's grandson) ), the Tigris River ran black with the ink of countless manuscripts and red with the blood of scholars, scientists, and civilians for days or weeks.

This highlights the absolute difference between the nomadic Mongols, who prioritized military power over the wealthy, idle Khwarazmian civilization they conquered.

2. Fall of Granada in 1492: The Reconquista a series of campaigns by Christian kingdoms to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim (Moorish) rulers started in the north, it progressed through shifting borders and alliances until the final fall of Granada in 1492.

The Catholic Church ended the 800 years of Islamic rule in Spain.

The Iberian Peninsula under Muslim rule (Al-Andalus) between the 8th and 15th centuries was renowned for its immense material wealth, luxury, and advanced civilization, often contrasting sharply with the rest of Europe during the Middle Ages. Andalusi society experienced a golden age, particularly during the 10th-century Caliphate of Córdoba, which was considered the wealthiest and most sophisticated in Europe.

Muslims brought about the agricultural revolution that enabled productive agriculture, even in arid areas. Cities flourished; boasting paved streets, public baths, and street lighting. The region produced high-value goods like silk, leather, ceramics, and glassware. Al-Andalus was a central hub connecting the Mediterranean with Africa and the East, exporting manufactured products and importing gold and ivory. The Caliphate collected enormous revenue, reported in the 10th century to be up to 6.5 million dinars. The material prosperity enabled a vibrant intellectual life, with great libraries and centers of Secular Knowledge. This period generated significant wealth before the ultimate collapse of Muslim rule in 1492.

Following the 1492 fall of Granada, the Catholic Church and Spanish authorities engaged in the burning of thousands of Arabic books, including scientific, philosophical, and medical texts in Granada. This systematic destruction was part of the final, radicalizing phase of the Reconquista.

In both these cases (Quran 9:39) came true.

(Quran 9:39) If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And Allah is over all things competent.

The story of Prophet Musa AS and Khizr AS in Surah Kahf challenges secular knowledge and the very limits of human intellect.

In this story, Khizr’s actions like damaging a boat, killing a youth, and repairing a wall for ungrateful villagers directly contradicts human reason and secular ethics.The story directly challenges secular paradigms.

Secular knowledge relies heavily on sensory perception, logic and visible cause and effect. Khizr’s actions prove that true wisdom encompasses the unseen and the future, which the human mind cannot evaluate at face value.

Materialistic and secular philosophies judge events based purely on immediate outcomes. Khizr AS demonstrates that an outwardly tragic event (losing a boat) can be a hidden blessing (saving it from a tyrant), fundamentally questioning our ability to judge situations without knowing their divine purpose.

Prophet Musa AS was considered the most knowledgeable person on Earth and the lawgiver of his time. Yet, he could not comprehend the profound reality behind Khizr's actions.

This serves as an ultimate lesson in humility and a reminder that Divine knowledge is superior than Secular knowledge.

The Founder of Khawarij

Prophet Muhammad pbuh predicted that people of this nature would emerge from the lineage of a man who criticized his distribution of war booty (identified as Dhu al-Khuwaysirah al-Tamimi).

The Khawarij came out against Ali RA and they said: There is no rule (ḥukm) but for Allah.  (12:40)

Ali RA said: A word of truth by which is intended falsehood (materialism).

The Khawarij rebellion was not to protect the religion, but rather for worldly reasons:

A well-known incident in history involves the Khawarij killing Abdullah bin Khabbab, a companion of the Prophet pbuh, his pregnant wife, then plundering their possessions.

Abu Hayyan reported: A man from the Khawarij came to Hasan Al-Basri and he said, “What do you say about the rebels?” Hasan said: They are seekers of the world.

He said, “Why do you say that when one of them goes out with his spear until it breaks and he leaves his family and children?” Hasan said: Tell me about the ruler. Does he prevent you from establishing prayer, giving charity, and performing the pilgrimage?

He said no. Hasan said: As I see it, he has only prevented you from seeking the world and you have fought him for it.

Khawarij were known for extreme violence, which included plundering wealth, killing innocent people, and declaring fellow Muslims who disagreed with their ideology as apostates. Their actions often focused on accumulating wealth and power through the justification of taking "booty" from those they deemed unbelievers. They made it a part of their ideology that the blood, property and wealth of those who did not join them was permissible (halal) to seize. Their looting was a by-product of their love for the world.

They were notorious for blocking roads and robbing or killing travelers who did not subscribe to their specific beliefs.

They overthrew leaders they deemed "misguided," by attacking the financial centers. They were known to attack cities and plunder treasuries, such as the looting of Kufa's treasury.Their violence, including plundering, was used as a tool for political rebellion against the established caliphates, particularly that of Ali and the Umayyads.

While they presented themselves as overly pious, this was a facade. Their actions in reality were driven by extreme worldliness and greed. While appearing strict in their outward worship, they failed to understand Islam and often acted out of worldly desire and ignorance. They would "kill Muslims and spare the idol-worshippers".

The Founder of Khawarij

Prophet Muhammad pbuh predicted that people of this nature would emerge from the lineage of a man who criticized his distribution of war booty (identified as Dhu al-Khuwaysirah al-Tamimi).

The Khawarij came out against Ali RA and they said: There is no rule (ḥukm) but for Allah.  (12:40)
