>that the material and the immaterial are separate
They are inseparably connected.
God says:
اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ
"Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord." (ar-Ra'd 13:2)
The Unseen is simply that which cannot be perceived by human senses. The Seen and the Unseen are inseparable; consider how the soul is connected with the body. Consider also the Salah: The connection of man with his Lord. If the Seen and the Unseen were completely separate, as you claim, then there would be no Salah, as it would be impossible for a man to connect with his Lord.
No, even that which is veiled to humans affects and interacts with that which we can perceive. God Himself is in the Unseen, as are the angels, jinns, and the worlds of the afterlife, and all of these undoubtedly and profoundly affect us humans as they give meaning and purpose to life and existence itself.
>Belief cannot be ascertained outside the mind
Faith is manifest through practice. Establishing the religion means giving Allah His Right to be obeyed exclusively. It means establishing the Salah and giving the Zakat, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart, judging between people according to Allah's revealed Law, and learning, teaching and applying knowledge of the religion.
Islam is not a private matter. It does not hide itself in people's homes. It is to encompass all parts of life and govern all affairs. Did Muhammad (peace be upon him) tell his companions; "now just go back to home and keep it to yourself"?! No. They came together and built an Islamic state and society founded upon faith, and you could see this even if you couldn't see inside people's hearts.
>Yes you are.
I do not follow any of your secular ideologies, all of which are misguidance and a means for evil to spread.
