Jesus Messiah will not come with a prophethood duty, he will come as a subject of the Qur’an

ADNAN OKTAR: "When he bows his head, water drips, when he lifts it, beads like silver pearls roll down his hair." This is Jesus Messiah. "Water drips from his hair even though it does not come into contact with any water." Abu Dawood. I will talk about what the water on his head means later, insha'Allah. Look, "His hair is wet even though it did not come into contact with any water." We will talk about what that water means in another conversation. Our Prophet (saas) puts quite an emphasis on this subject. He deems it significant. This must mean it has a vital importance. Jesus Messiah has a thin waist, while Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) does not. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has a bulky body overall. "His face is pure and bright," says Al-Nabawi Ibn-Hajar. "His face looks red as if he just got out of a bath house," says al-Bukhari. "He has a calm and lively expression. His mouth and nose have a perfect beauty." He has a small, nice, upturned nose. "His forehead is even and clean. He has a dense beard." Jesus (pbuh) has a clean-cut beard. He has an elegant beard, not a classic, full beard. "His eyes glow like fire. His face is white with a red tinge," writes Al-Tabarani in his book, al-Kabir. Our Prophet (saas) is describing what he has seen. What I am telling you are hadiths. And the rest are the verses of the Qur’an. "His eyes are greenish gray." Jesus (pbuh). "He has a sharp look and freckles on his face." He has freckles on his hands and feet too. "He has chestnut hair tinged with a touch of gold." His beard is the same color. It is light, meaning it is a mix of blond and chestnut. "It is as if water drips from his hair." There is an extraordinary situation here. It is not something ordinary. His hair looks wet, well-groomed and mildly wavy. So is his beard. Jesus' (pbuh) hair comes down to his shoulder bones. It is not short at all. His hair is straight down to his ears, and then the rest is wavy. I am describing him so that you won't be surprised when you see him. "He has a small and pleasant nose, his hands and feet are clean and radiant. He has a gentle and content demeanor, he is athletic. His fingers are delicate and long.” In other words, he has thin, delicate hands. "He has an agile, strong body. People wouldn't want to avert their gaze from him once they look at him," says our Prophet (saas), they can't take their eyes off him.

What is interesting is that Catholic and Orthodox Christians, all will acknowledge that he is Jesus Messiah. He is known as the prophet of Christians, as you know; Jews deny him. But what is interesting here is even the Jews will acknowledge him when he comes. "There is not one of the People of the Book who will not believe in him" says God in the Qur’an, that is a miracle. Jews absolutely deny him, they do not recognize him as a prophet. They claim "no such prophet existed." But they will acknowledge him once he comes.

OKTAR BABUNA: On the occasion of Moshiach?

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes. Our Prophet (saas) says, "Leave the right side of my grave empty." People can go and see that there is a considerable space left next to his grave. On his right lies Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), and Hazrat Omar (ra) is buried further. Normally, he would be buried right next to our Prophet (saas), right? Why would such a considerable amount of space be left? They left a space next to the grave of our Prophet (saas). He says, “Bury my brother Jesus next to me so that we can rise together." "Qum" says God, meaning "rise". Upon hearing the word, Qum, they suddenly come to life. The spirit of God is prevalent in everything. Before you know it, they are alive. Our Prophet (saas) and Jesus Messiah are the first ones to rise. Others will follow them. Jesus Messiah is the manifestation of God's name, "Al-Hayy". The name "Al-Hayy [The Living]" manifests itself in him the most.

Ether encompasses the whole universe in the form of a sea. "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters," says God [in the Torah]. In other words, "The spirit of God is everywhere." We see this frequently in the Qur’an. Otherwise there would be no motion, there would be nothing.

"Messianism is Judaism," writes The Great Eagle is not Dead, 3636; "Messianism is Judaism.” I am asking you, who will be considered the last prophet when the Messiah descends to earth again? Our Prophet (saas). The Messiah will come with the prophet title only, not with the prophethood duty. He has the title, but he will be subject to the Qur’an. Jesus Messiah will come as a Muhammadan. "Messianism is Judaism" it is stronger. If it exists in Judaism, in the pages of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), if the Mahdi was heralded by the Prophet Noah (pbuh), by the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), by the Prophet Moses (pbuh), if it is written in the Torah, than Mahdism is right, it’s true. It’s something you cannot deny. "It is written both in the Torah and the Psalms," says our Prophet (saas). "You can look there," he says.

BULENT SEZGIN: Mr. Oktar, there is a symbolic painting of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), can we show it?

ADNAN OKTAR: Let me see. Yes, it is about right. Imagine his nose a bit smaller, slightly smaller and it is about right.

People are losing their ability to think and produce by getting addicted to smart phones and TV series

ADNAN OKTAR: Sometimes when I go out, I see young girls with a cigarette in one hand and a phone on the other. They are glued to their phones and they go on and on. What is this never ending phone talk? And when they are not talking on the phone, they are constantly surfing the internet; it’s like the phones are now their best friends; a handheld friend. It seems like their whole world are now their phones. And some telecommunication companies encourage this behavior with special offers like "it is free if you want to call your grandfather", "you will win a lottery if you call your aunt". People should use the phones when it is necessary. I rarely use my phone and when I do, I do it’s not a huge deal. I don't see why a phone conversation should drag on. If it is a person you love, then meet them and talk face to face. What is it that you talk about for hours on the phone? For instance they call their families and talk for hours. What is it that cannot be solved? You are a smart person, you should be able to solve it in a few minutes. But somehow they cannot solve it, they drag on and on, "should we do it or not?". Just cut to the chase. They see each other talking to long on the phone [and begin to think it’s normal] telecommunication companies further encourage it with slogans like: ‘talk as much as you want, don’t miss this opportunity etc.’ When you act this way, of course people will do it.

Some people have now become almost addicted to their phones. Just like smokers, alcoholics, phone mania has emerged. And then there is the TV series mania. They do not even eat so that they don't miss their favorite show.  They drop everything, hold their breaths, put their lives on hold. They cancel  even their business appointments, cancel everything. This is wrong. It shouldn't be like this. They render people almost incapable of thinking through football games, TV series and phones. It is not done deliberately but this is the result. Many people cannot think as a result. Their vocabulary consists of only two hundred words at most. They have narrow perspectives. They cannot think about things, research a subject; and eventually become shallow. You see how most people on internet are unable to even say what they want to say; and they are angry at everything and anything. For instance, when there is a match between Turkey and Greece, they jeer at the Greek team. What are you jeering at? We have lived together like brothers and sisters under the Ottoman rule for hundreds of years, this is a country that is our friend and neighbor, what are you jeering at?

Is this how a friendship supposed to be, how love supposed to be? Why do you jeer? For example, this also happens at houses, daughters, sons sitting with phones in their hands, only interested in their phones. They spend all their lives either playing games or texting all the time. You are tormenting yourselves. Just stand up and get moving, do something nice. Read, research, move.  Even [when they have to] go to a hospital and take selfies there and share even those photos as if there is something entertaining about it. They take photos of their broken legs, broken ribs in encasement and share them. It is not right that they focus so much on this, so absorbed with this. They should take it a little bit easy. For example, when people go somewhere and see a beautiful waterfall, a nice car or beautiful scenery, they are only interested in taking a photo of it. "How should I take the photo?" they think. They do not sit and enjoy the view and reflect on it. They just take the photo and leave. Just admire its beauty for a while, right? Look at it from a believers point of view, say that "How beautiful is God's creation". They run and jump on the streets getting their photos taken when the feet is off the floor, so they look as if they are flying.  Sure it is nice, they do it to show their joy, but one shouldn't spend their life in that state of mind. A constant commotion, noise, state of fuss, an artificial joy; they shout at each other, laugh at redundant stuff; it is as if they are drunk. It takes time for them to become normal and calm again. The other day, two ladies came here and they were exuberant. And they kept riling each other up, making a commotion, bursting with joy. They could hardly calm down. On their second visit, I saw that they were calmer, more poised, more mature. Another bad side effect of phone addiction is that it causes a state of timidity, nervousness, misanthropy and withdrawal in one's soul. It is as if their only friends are their phones, a virtual friend.

Hypocrites are like dust on a believer communities. It goes away leaving believers shining with holy light

ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites are like dust on a believer community. When a believer takes a shower, all the grime disappears, right? He gets fresh and clean right?  He washes away the grime with soap and it goes away right, he gets healthy. And you ask, "Why doesn't the dirt stay?" Believers are clean, purified, they cannot live with dirt. He washes the dirt and dirt disappears. The hypocrite is washed away and the believer remains like a divine light. Otherwise, there would not be such cleanliness.

EMRE ACAR: Sir; God gives an example of the separation of  gold and a bubble. Might God be referring to this fact?

ADNAN OKTAR: Sure. In a narrated hadith he says, silver, in another one he says gold. It is also said in the verses. In the verse, it is clearly said that “It disappears as separated from the dross". Furthermore, "they resemble debris floating on the river", he says. "They shake at a bend and vanish", he says "in a bend". Water rapidly flows. Look; unsullied water flows in its way, does it not? The water flows but "dross and trash on the water skid around the bend", he says. "They stay at the bend". It really happens in  rivers. They (dross and dirt) come together at the bend. However, unsullied water flows in its way. Like the water, believers cannot keep the dirt inside. The grime is always washed away. But he says, "How many times is it washed?" A believer takes a shower everyday. When necessary, he takes a shower three times a day. The dirt that is  the hypocrites is constantly washed  off the believers. The more it is washed away, the more refreshed and younger believers will get. What happens when one takes a shower? He feels refreshed, does he not? He is purified completely. It is [like that] the dirt that is  the hypocrites are washed away.

Lucy Deceit

"Lucy" is a fossil that Donald Johanson discovered in 1973. Its scientific name, Australopithecus afarensis, derives from the Afar region of Ethiopia, where it was discovered. For years, Lucy was portrayed as the missing link in the human evolution sequence. However, it no longer enjoys that earlier esteem in evolutionist sources, thanks to the latest scientific findings.

The fact Australopithecus can no longer be regarded as the ancestor of human beings was the cover story for the May 1999 edition of the well-known French scientific journal Science et Vie. Under the heading "Adieu Lucy [Goodbye to Lucy],"  the text described why, based on a new Australopithecus finding known as St W573, Australopithecus apes needed to be removed from the human family tree:

A new theory states that the genus Australopithecus is not the root of the human race. . . The results arrived at by the only woman authorized to examine St W573 are different from the normal theories regarding mankind's ancestors: this destroys the hominid family tree. Large primates, considered the ancestors of man, have been removed from the equation of this family tree . . . Australopithecus and Homo (human) species do not appear on the same branch. Man's direct ancestors are still waiting to be discovered (Isabelle Bourdial, "Adieu Lucy," Science et Vie, May 1999, No. 980, pp. 52-62.).

Scientific findings have shown that evolutionist hypotheses regarding "Lucy," the best-known specimen of the class Australopithecus, are quite groundless. In its February 1999 issue, the famous French magazine Science et Vie admitted this under the headline "Adieu, Lucy" and agreed that Australopithecus couldnot be regarded as an ancestor of man.

In Torah, it is said that in the year when the Moshiach (Hazrat Mahdi) appears, the Persian King shall provoke the Arab King into a war

Froman Interview with Mr. Adnan Oktar on September 26th, 2015, on A9 TV

ADNAN OKTAR: In the 13^th Century, Rabbi Yitzhak explains the Torah as follows: Look, it was centuries ago. In the year when the King Moshiach (Hazrat Mahdi) appears, kings of all countries shall fight with each other. The Persian King, (the Iranian regime) shall provoke "...the Arab King into a war." The Arab King shall go to Aram, "...to Damascus and around" to get advice from them. Look, he shall go. "All nations of the world will be in turmoil and terror. They shall fall on their faces and shall be suffering as if they are seized by something like labour pains." For example, Saudi Arabia is being provoked into [military action in] Muslim countries by Iran; Iran and Saudia Arabia are provoking each other. Brothers are crushing each other. However, both are blessed, devout and immaculate Muslims. Look, it is written in the Torah too.

Growing old is unavoidable

http://www.arabnews.com/islam-perspective/news/827701

THE destructive effects of the passage of years are observable in one’s own body. As the years go by, the body, the most precious possession a human being has, goes through an irreversible process of destruction. The changes a human being experiences throughout his life are recounted in the Qur’an as follows: “It is Allah Who created you in a state of (helpless) weakness, then gave (you) strength after weakness, then, after strength, gave (you) weakness and a hoary head: He creates as He wills, and it is He Who has all knowledge and power.” (Qur’an, 30:54)

The later years of life are the times most neglected in the future plans of an adult, except in the anxious process of saving for old-age pensions. Indeed, being too close to death, people usually develop a hesitant approach to this period. When someone tries to talk about old age, others feel concerned and attempt to change this “unpleasant” topic as soon as possible. The routine of daily life is also a good way of escaping from the thought of these potentially miserable years of life. So, it is postponed until the day one inevitably meets it. No doubt, the main reason for such avoidance is the assumption that one has endless time until death comes upon one.

This mistaken idea often leads to great grief. That is simply because, no matter how old one is, the only real possessions remaining from one’s past are dimly-recalled memories. One barely remembers childhood. It is even hard to recall exactly what happened during the last decade. The greatest ambitions of a young man, important decisions, and the goals to which he is most committed, all lose their significance once they are experienced and done. That is why to tell a “long” life story is a vain endeavor.

Whether a teenager or an adult, this should prompt man to make an important decision about his life. For instance, if you are 40 and expect to live until your mid-sixties — and of that you have no guarantee — those remaining 25 years will surely pass as quickly as the preceding 40 years. The same holds true even if your life is prolonged a great deal, since the remaining thirty or forty years will, likewise, pass before you even notice. This is, surely, a perpetual reminder of the true nature of this world. One day every living soul on this earth will leave this world and there is no return.

Hence, man should set aside his prejudices and be more realistic about his life. Time passes very quickly and each day brings on further physical weakness and more impaired thinking rather than fresher dynamism and a younger figure. In brief, growing old is a manifestation of man’s inability to control his own body, life and destiny. Time’s adverse effects on the body become visible during this period. Allah informs us about this in the following verse: “It is Allah Who creates you and takes your souls at death; and of you there are some who are sent back to a feeble age, so that they know nothing after having known (much); for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.” (Qur’an, 16:70)

In medicine, advanced old age is also called “the second childhood”. Hence, during this latter stage of life, elderly people just like children need care, since their bodily and mental functions go through certain alterations.

As one grows older, physical and spiritual characteristics pertaining to childhood become more apparent. Elderly people fail to do many tasks requiring physical strength. Changes in judgment, impaired thinking, difficulties in walking, maintaining balance and speech, impediments, memory impairment and gradual memory loss, and changes in mood or behavior are only a few symptoms of diseases commonly seen in old age.

In short, after a certain period, people often regress to a state of childish dependency both physically and mentally. Life both begins and ends in an infant-like state. This is evidently not a random process. It is possible that man could remain young until he dies. Yet Allah reminds man about the temporary nature of this world by making the quality of his life deteriorate at certain stages of life. This process serves as a clear reminder that life is slipping away. 

Allah explains this matter in the verse below: “O mankind! If you have doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of a drop, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (Our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that you may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much), and (further), you see the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour rain down on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).” (Qur’an, 22:5) 

Growing old is unavoidable. Nobody, without exception, can escape it. Yet seeing celebrities becoming older has a deeper influence on us since their physical deterioration is openly observable. Witnessing the ageing of people renowned for their fame, wealth and beauty is surely a reminder of the shortness and insignificance of this life.

Every day it is possible to observe this fact from hundreds of examples around us. An intelligent, healthy and famous person, once a symbol of beauty or success, one day appears in newspapers, magazines and on television with a physical or mental disability. Each one is the clearest evidence that no matter how beautiful, successful or young you are, the inevitable end for human beings is old age.

Yet, only the body experiences this irreversible process and eventually dies. The soul, on the other hand, lives forever. The only asset one can take with him when one dies is one’s belief or disbelief.

The way to avoid eternal punishment, win eternal bliss and attain the good pleasure of Allah is apparent: Before it is too late, have true faith in Allah and spend your life doing good deeds to attain His good pleasure.
