The Matrix is everywhere, It is all around us. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to Church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth—the truth of the life of our world. A mind can only realize this truth through an understanding of Islam: a way of life that allows believers to see through the blinding materialistic veils of this world and instead focus on the Hereafter.
**Allah the Almighty tells mankind: “Know that the life of this world [dunya] is but amusement, vain talk, adornment, pompous boasting to one another and competition in the increase of wealth and children—like the example of rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the farmers then it dries up and you see it turning yellow. Then it becomes scattered debris…And what is this life except the enjoyment of delusion” (Quran 57:20).
**This test is similar to the test that Morpheus challenges Neo within The Matrix. As Morpheus presents Neo with the two pills, he explains: “Take the blue pill, story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe; take the red pill, stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…all I am offering is the truth, nothing but the truth.” The blue pill is the easy way out because, as Cypher proclaims, “Ignorance is bliss”; but the red pill is the truth that will help Neo escape the deceitful Matrix. This red pill is like Islam, as it exposes us to the truth behind this illusionary world. Morpheus avows, “I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one who has to walk through it.”
