What Is Meant Here?
Within the limits of the available content, the claim means rejecting the view that the world is merely a mental illusion or an idea without reality. This rejection is attributed to Shahrur in a paraphrase connected to the seventh episode of The Great News.
What Is Attributed to Shahrur
The record attributes this meaning to Shahrur. The recorded paraphrase describes a position attributed to him that rejects considering the world a mental illusion or an idea without reality, and regards cosmic existence as material and real rather than imaginary. This is a descriptive formulation in the Atlas record, not a documented verbatim quotation from the episode.
Atlas Explanation
Because the available evidence is only a paraphrase and its status is “unconfirmed from the original source,” this page currently establishes the scope of the recorded attribution but does not establish Shahrur’s own wording. For review, see the seventh episode of The Great News.
Conclusion
In a limited sense, the claim can be understood as an affirmation of the reality of the material world in the presentation attributed to Shahrur. The record alone does not establish any detailed construction beyond this.
Open Question and Source Limits
Did Shahrur express this meaning in those very words? What was his argument, and what is its relation to the Qur’an, to God, or to the eternity of matter? The material available here does not settle these questions. Nor can this record be used to establish that the Qur’an affirms the materiality of the universe, that matter is not eternal, or that the position entails a specific theory in natural science. For context, one may consult The Book and the Qur’an and The Mother of the Book and Its Elaboration, without attributing this claim to them unless direct evidence is provided.
