The many philosophical sects and systems constitute three main groups: the
Materialists (Dahriyun), the Naturalists (Tabi`iyun), and the Theists (Ilahyun).
The first group, the Materialists, are among the earliest philosophers. They
deny the Creator and Disposer of the world, Omniscient and Omnipotent, and
consider that the world has forever existed just as it is, of itself and without a
creator, and that animals come from seed and seed from animals; this is the
way it is and will forever be. These are the Zanadigah or irreligious people.
The second group, the Naturalists, are a body of philosophers who research
the world of nature and the marvels of animals and plants and have spent
great efforts in dissecting the organs of animals. They see there enough of the
wonders of Allah‟s creation and the inventions of His Wisdom to compel them
to acknowledge a wise Creator Who is aware of the aims and purposes of
things. No one can make a careful study of anatomy and the wonderful uses
of the members and organs without realizing the obvious knowledge that
there is a perfection and order in the animal frame and especially that of man.
Yet these philosophers take the view that the makeup has great influence
