God grants believers' every sincere wish


ADNAN OKTAR: I am speaking for myself when I say God granted me everything I wished from Him. In the Qur'an, God says, "Call on Me and I will answer you." This is true, it happens. This is truly astonishing. But most people do not anticipate the fact that there is such a system in place; they believe it would happen very quickly. For example, when people ask God, "O Lord, grant me wealth and prosperity, and I will spend them in Your name." When that is the case, God definitely grants them their wishes, making them unimaginably wealthy. But there is a detail here that should not be overlooked; God grants them their wishes and bestow wealth and prosperity upon them if they are sincere when they say, "O Lord, I will spend my wealth in Your name." If they attempt to spend the wealth God has granted them for their own pleasure, God takes away their wealth by making them spend it on myriad troubles He plagues them with.

Of course, one should not wish unreasonable things from God. He grants every request that is within reason. I cannot think of instances where I made a reasonable request to God and He left my wish unanswered; He grants every reasonable wish. Christians place utmost importance on prayer as they are well-aware of this system for quite a long time.  Among the believers, Christians are the ones who are most aware of this system. Evangelists, in particular, are quite aware of it. Protestants consider prayer vital, hence they pray day and night. And they are right to do so. For some Muslims, prayer is usually a formality and sometimes it is accepted and sometimes not. This is a misconception; every sincere wish is granted. This is not true. Every prayer comes true if it is in the name of God. If you sincerely ask for the reign of Islam to be established, it comes true as well. God says in the Torah; "I will establish the reign of Islam over the world even if only 11 people believes," 11 people. But it has to be a deeply sincere and heartfelt wish. When that is the case, God even establishes the reign of Islam for the sake of a handful of sincere believers.

Explanations of various verses from Surah Yusuf by Mr. Adnan Oktar

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (18 April 2014)

Surah Yusuf,  Verse: 23
The woman, whose house it was, solicited him. She barred the doors and said, ´Come over here!´ He said, ´God is my refuge! He is my Lord and has been good to me with where I live. Those who do wrong will surely not succeed.
The woman whose house he resided in solicited the Prophet Joseph and barred the doors. Look, the doors to the living room are not just one, but there are several rooms; that is such a big and splendid house. They are living alone with the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) in that house. Actually the bigots would have freaked out in the sight of that. That woman wanders around in revealing, low neck clothes around the Prophet Joseph(pbuh). 
“… and said; “Come over here!” He (Joseph) said; “God is my refuge!”Look, he doesn’t give in to solicitation or else he looks at that woman and sees her beauty and appreciates it as well. He likes her, the Qur’an tells us that he likes her. Actually he desires her but he doesn’t approach her. “He (Joseph) said ;”God is my refuge! He is my Lord and has been good to me with where I live. Those who do wrong will surely not succeed.” Those who engage in debauchery, commit adultery, those who sin would not succeed. 
Surah Yusuf, Verse: 24
She wanted him and he would have wanted her, had he not seen the Clear Proof of his Lord. That happened so We might avert from him all evil and lust. He was indeed one of Our sincere worshippers.
“She wanted him and he would have wanted her, had he not seen the Clear Proof of his Lord.” He wants her but doesn’t sleep with her. “That happened so We might avert from him all evil and lust.” Look, God doesn’t want adultery. Not one’s looking at the other gender, not one’s liking the other, but He doesn’t want adultery. What is adultery? It is sexual relations that would disrupt the generations to come. that is a beauty when done with the lawful one; God doesn’t want the other because it is unlawful. “He was indeed one of Our sincere worshippers.” What is his characteristic? His sincerity. Look, God mentions only one characteristic here and He says; “He was indeed one of Our sincere worshippers.” God doesn’t tell us that he was performing his prayers, that he was giving his alms, that he went for Hajj. God only mentions his being a sincere worshipper. What is the main characteristic of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)? His sincerity. God doesn’t tell us about the bed that he lay in, about how he didn’t eat much, about how he cried and how he refrained from the material aspects of this world. God only mentions his sincerity. This also is Hazrat Mahdi’s (pbuh) main characteristic, insha’Allah. 
Surah Yusuf, Verse: 25
They raced to the door. She tore his shirt at the back. They met her husband by the door. She said, ´How should a man whose intention was to harm your family be punished for what he did except with prison or painful punishment?´
“They raced to the door.” My dear one, the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) is such a nice person. “She tore his shirt at the back.” When she pulls his shirt to stop him, his shirt is torn. But we understand that the shirt he has on is not a shirt that is tight on his back; because she can hold on to it, that means it is a loose and comfortable shirt. “They met her husband by the door.” God does that specifically; God is the One Who tears his shirt, God is the One Who makes them meet her husband. Normally they might not have met him there. “She said; “How should a man whose intention was to harm your family be punished for what he did except for prison or painful punishment.” So she wants him to be beaten. “…prison or painful punishment.”
Surah Yusuf, Verses 26-27-28
He said, ´It was she who tried to seduce me.´ A witness from her people then declared, ´If his shirt is torn in front, she speaks the truth and he has clearly told a shameless lie. If his shirt is torn at the back, then she has lied and he has clearly told the simple truth.´  He saw the shirt torn at the back and said, ´The source of this is women´s deviousness. Without a doubt your guile is very great.
When her husband saw that the shirt was torn at the back, he said, “The source of this is women’s deviousness. Without a doubt your guile is very great.” So some women are really very devious, very dangerous; they lay very elaborate tricks. The Qur’an drew attention to this. But of course if her husband was not given such a suggestion, he wouldn’t have gained such a point of view. We can see how open people are to suggestions. For instance, the man might have seen that the shirt was torn at his back but wouldn’t even be bothered about that; he might fail to make sense of it or see that it is evidence.  For instance, it wouldn’t be that effective if the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) said the same but when someone else says this, it would be very effective because he would regard that person as impartial. Since the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) might be considered as a part of that act, his own statements wouldn’t be that much  effective. For instance, in the courts, you know that the accounts of impartial witnesses would be taken as greater testimony rather than the statement of the people directly involved.  That is why the statement of that witness did have a stronger impact on the husband; psychologically the human soul has a greater tendency to that. But we also see that this person has a good conscience. He could have still ruled against the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) if he wished so. 
Surah Yusuf, Verse 29
“Joseph, ignore all this, and you, my wife, should ask forgiveness for your evil act. There is no doubt that you are in the wrong.” 
“Joseph, ignore all this…” Look, this is his reaction; “…ignore all this…” Do not talk to her, do not be bothered by her, do not have any connections with her. “… and you, my wife, should ask forgiveness for your evil act.” Look, this shows that person is very devout and very rational as he approaches  things very reasonably and conscientiously. He doesn't do anything wild. For instance, he doesn’t go and beat or kill the woman. We can see the nice result of the devoutness of that person.  Look at what he says; “Joseph, ignore all this…” He tells him not to see her. “…and you my wife should ask for forgiveness for your evil act. There is no doubt that you are in the wrong.” So he tells his wife that she sinned and that she has to repent. He tells her that she is in the wrong towards God and that she should repent for that.  He tells her that he is not the one to punish her, but God is;  but he also doesn’t want her to be punished for what she did. Look, he doesn’t want her to be burnt in the Hereafter. He wants her salvation in the Hereafter as well and approaches her with compassion. “Repent and be saved,” he says.

Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam

Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam (12&15.04.2014)




Adnan Oktar describes the secret of the global reign of Islam
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated April  11th &12nd &15th , 2014

I seek shelter in God from the accursed satan. “Those who believe and do good works.” Look, first they have faith and then they do good works. God says He will save His honest servants. Sincerity is a subject that gets overlooked. Yet God points to it as a means to salvation. In other words, God does not say worship. Because when people are sincere they also perform their religious obligations. They do the best of everything. 

“Those who believe and do right actions, happiness will be theirs and a wonderful Homecoming..”

A very brief time of testing is given in this world. The conditions of this world are really very difficult. It is hard to live. People look well groomed, but they work hard at it. They shower in the morning. They have to eat and drink. They have to take care over vitamins and not catch cold. They can fall sick and die if they catch cold. If they do not drink water their kidneys will become sick and they will die. A lung infection may kill them. A mole can be dangerous and turn into cancer. Human beings are weak entities. God created them so. God says that He created men as weak. Almighty God gives us a time to become acquainted, a time for love and friendship. He says I will cause you to know this for all time. Because there is a wonderful 3-D image. It is so perfect we really think that matter is there in front of us. Yet we see an image in our brains. Matter is there before us, but we cannot see it. We see what is in our brains. An amazing clarity. 

For example, you look at the fluid in the eye. It is a transparent gel. Imagine a light passing through that. Imagine we have turned the gel into a lens. If we look at something through that lens it will be all blurred. But here we have very sharp details. So the image that forms has nothing to do with that gel. It is obvious the image is created as a miracle. 

Take sound. Who hears sound? Someone hears it. There is a sound and a hearer. And sounds are actually heard without ears. The hearer has no ears. There is someone who tastes, but who does so without a tongue. There is also someone who smells, someone who has no nose. God has created most perfectly. He has also created all kinds of sickness and difficulty. In the morning one drinks coffee to pull oneself together. Then in the evening one is very tired. In the afternoon one says it is very hot. It is impossible for people to get things just right. They are very feeble entities. This world is obviously a specially created place of training. There is nothing worth becoming greedy for in this world. 

God helps believers in a wondrous way if people are not greedy. He creates a wonderful environment. For example, I left Ankara and came to the academy in Istanbul. I looked like an ordinary young man from Anatolia. Who would have guessed I would have penned works demolishing Darwinism? Who would have guessed I would have caused in people’s hearts by showing them the true Islam? Because the Islam we were taught was the Islam of the fanatic. Killing-beating-flogging-hanging. That is what was taught. “People who not pray must be killed,” “People who do that must be flogged,” “The penalty for this is that.” “Do you have time owing in prayer?” “I have 20 years of debt” people would say. “In that case you must pray day and night without eating or drinking” they would be told. Then they start showing the person who is learning about Islam a terrible way of life. A life nobody can live by. Blood, pain, suffering, lovelessness and women who are no longer women. Women are made to look like men, and men become like women. Because man’s love of woman has been taken away. Men are bound to find women cold and repellent. They regard them as a cause of guilt. They are portrayed as entities who make links with satan. These people already think that 99% of women will go to hell. They are portrayed as unlucky and semi-beings. Love of woman is taken away from people’s hearts. Sp perversion spreads. The current state of the world is obvious. Most of all in the Islamic world. 

---------------------

(Viewer’s letter) Opening Turkish schools is a good thing for Turkey. Only in that way can Islamic Union be established.

True. Schools are opening up all over Greece. Christianity or Greek culture predominates. There is no end to American schools. There are colleges all over the place. Nothing happens. Everyone minds his own business. It cannot happen with schools. Only by the might of God, if God so chooses. Through sincerity. Through sincere hope in God. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi says, “I swear in the name of God you will see the reign of Islam in this century.” 

Bediuzzaman says the Day of Reckoning will come around 1545 (Hijri). 

- The person that God creates in destiny will be Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). God reveals this to Moses in verses. “Then you arrived at the pre-ordained time, Moses!” He says. 

They do not believe the world is metaphysical. For example, when I came from Ankara I was all on my own. Who will heed a person who is all on his own? And I came to the academy. Everyone knows what kind of place the academy was (a left-wing educational institution). Nobody should have listened to me. I had no special training or learning. I was a normal high school student. But God created an effect. He caused me to write more than 300 books. He caused them to be translated into 75 languages. Hundreds of thousands of books and CDs were handed out. That was a huge impact. Almighty God causes us to move forward step by step. But the real weapon is love. Love is the believer’s true weapon. Love is the true weapon of the system of the Mahdi. 

- Shall I read a few hadiths? 

Yes.

- The friends of the Mahdi (pbuh) will be young people. The position of the elderly in his army will be that of kohl on the eye or salt on food. Salt is what there is least of in food. 

The Mahdi will conquer the East and West and cause Islam to reign across the world. God will give people such power that everyone will hear the Mahdi from where they are, and the Mahdi will give life to Islam. 

-----------------------

The Mahdi’s greatest weapon is sincerity.

The system of the Mahdi is the teaching of love. It teaches friendship, brotherhood, beauty and sincerity. Let me tell you a secret. God does not say that people with guns, power, money or political power will rule the world. He does not say that people who fast and pray will rule the world. He says that people who are sincere will attain salvation and rule the world. Only sincere people. The Mahdi’s greatest weapon is sincerity. He is the Mahdi because he has a sincerity that nobody else can attain. That is why God grants him victory.  

For example, America has arms but no sincerity, so it cannot win. Russia has money and guns. But no sincerity, so it cannot win. The Islamic world, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have enough money to buy and sell the world, but they have no sincerity. Saudi Arabia also has military might. So God does not grant them victory. Indeed, they are crushed down. Whoever is sincere will rule the world. Honesty and sincerity is the crux of the matter. God points to sincerity as the only way to salvation. God points to sincerity as the only path to the global reign, in verse 55 of Surat an-Nur.  

- The verse says, “God has promised those of you who believe and do righteous actions…” 

Sincere people, but truly sincere.
