A Muslim who denies the prophethood of Prophet Moses (as) has divorced himself from his faith and religion. Christians and Jews must also admit the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (as).

DIDEM URER: According to the news report of Al Jazeera, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliqi is questioning the attitude of Sunni Turkey towards the Shia Iraqi administration in relation to the recent uprisings in Iraq. They are talking about the possibility of Erdogan providing secret support to Sunni protesters to put the Sunnis forth in the region.
ADNAN OKTAR: Well, my brother, these incidents should be looked into with the spirit of the system of the Mahdi. Shias are radiant Muslims, they are all immaculate people. So what? What difference does it make if they are Shias, Sunnis or Wahhabis? They all are radiant, immaculate Muslims who perform their prayers five times a day, they are all people who are very careful about lawful and unlawful deeds. Discrimination in between them is unacceptable. Mr. Tayyip would never do something like that. Mr. Tayyip is a person who embraces everyone. He is a person who receive Alawites, Sunnis, Bektashis and everyone with open arms. There is something wrong in that. There was a fight in between Shias and Sunnis even before our master Tayyip was elected Prime Minister. They should ask that to the radicals. Would these people get into a fight about Shias and Sunnis just because Mr. Erdogan said so? Such things happen with the instructions of radicals, with the encouragement of radicals. People who conduct scientific studies to explain the falsity of the attitude of bigots, of radicals should be supported.

Amygdala
Secrets of the Chilean Miners / Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani - Sohba/Discourse
The region responsible for managing our fear and Adventuresomeness: ''amygdala''
Almighty Allah created the spiritual structure of people very differently. Every person has different interests and different social relations. For some people, it is exciting to jump into the sea from 20 meters high and for some it is exciting to sky glide and for some it is simply to sit at home and read books…
Why do the activities that people are excited about or like change?
Why are some of us active and very social with very many friends and some of us bland with few friends and reluctant to establish social relations?
Which organ governs the different spiritual structures of human beings technically?
The “amygdala” region inside our brain is an area of the brain responsible for our various behaviors such as fear, trust and social relations. The amygdala is an almond-shaped mass, located roughly under the limbic circle in people, on the brain stem and is composed of structures connected to one another. It is made up of two lobes, one on the right and the other on the left. This region determines what we fear by catching the signals around us and helps us decide whether to react to this fear.
Our Brain’s Amygdala Region is the Source of Emotional Reactions
Almighty Allah transfers 80% of the data that belongs to the outside world into our brain through our sight organ, the eyes. The image, which is focused on the retina by the lenses are turned into electrical signals and then transmitted to the brain by optical nerves at a time interval of one in ten thousandth of a second. The signals gathered from both eyes contain all of the characteristics of the object being looked at. The brain combines the images that come from both eyes as a single image. It differentiates the structure and color of the object and determines its distance. In short, it is not the eye itself that sees the objects, but it is the brain. The electrical signals coming from the eyes reach the primer sight region at the back of the brain. This center is 2.5 millimeters thick and a few centimeters wide. It contains one hundred million neurons (nerve cells) in six layers. The signal first comes to the forth layer; after it is analyzed here, it spreads to other layers. In this center, every neuron takes signals from one thousand neurons and sends signals to almost one thousand other neurons.
While visual signals are transmitted from the retina to the thalamus region of our brain via the nerves, the brain determines the reactions for the image and if the reaction is emotional, the amygdala is referenced as the source of emotional repertoire. If the potential of the data coming from the retina (for example, a shocking incident) is positive, this time some of the data that reaches to the thalamus directly goes to the amygdala and causes the emotional reaction to begin. At this point, there is no time for the visual cortex to know what is going on. After this, the only thing the cortex can do is to form the reactions the amygdala commands.
Could it Be that the Amygdala Region in the Brain is the Center of Individual Behaviors?
Scientific research confirmed that the amygdala region is responsible for personal behavior. When we are exposed to danger, the brain is warned by questions such as “is this something I hate? Does this hurt me? Is this something I am afraid of?” and if the answer to these questions is “yes”, the amygdala produces a sudden reaction in the form of a nervous signal and transmits a crisis message to the rest of the brain. The amygdala has a rich communication network within the brain. In an emergency situation, it controls and governs a big part of the brain, including the rational mind. The structure in the limbic system is the expert of learning and remembering processes and the amygdala is the expert of emotional situations.
Even though it is known that our emotional reactions and fears are controlled by the amygdala region, all the functions of the amygdala are not known. Scientists are not yet able to answer these questions:
How does the brain distinguish emotional images and know to send it to the brain?
Why are the risks, fear thresholds and social choices of people different, even though the amygdala has almost the same structure in every human being?
Scientists have based these changes on a gene called “Neurod”. Experiments carried out on guinea pigs found that when they decreased the gene in the amygdala region of the brain, the guinea pigs began to take greater risks as their fear emotions were decreased. This gene also exists in people, but could this gene and its genetic coding determine whether we take risks or not, our choice of the number of friends, our hobbies and tastes? In other words, could a small piece of flesh inside the brain determine our personality and emotional choices? What is the real thing that determines our feelings?
The Source of Our Individual Behaviors Is Not the Amygdala, But the Soul
Our senses are formed by electrical signals. So is it our brain, which interprets these signals and turns them into a friend we know, a beautiful flower, an endless view, our mother, children playing on the street, fear, joy and choosing our friends?
Technically, it is true that signals are interpreted in the brain. Materialists start out from this point, and go on to claim that we are nothing more than neurons in the brain and the world we live in is a result of the communication of these neurons with one another. They defend that the being who thinks, smiles, gets happy, recognizes a person and can make a comment is “a mass of neurons” in the words of evolutionist physicist Francis Crick.(http://www.bbc.co.uk/
For a materialist, it is not important how a person thinks and makes reason out of senses. It is not important, because he has no explanation for these. According to him, everything must be examined from a material view. However, this is a great lie told to draw people away from faith in Allah. This is because the owner of a person’s consciousness is not his brain, but rather his soul. The being that says “I see” for the image inside his brain, that says “I hear” for the sounds inside his brain and that is conscious of his own existence is the soul which Allah in His infinite wisdom bestowed onto man. The materialist mentality abstains that this truth is known and recognized. The basic cause of the claims of “consciousness has not yet been discovered” by scientists is this. The certain existence of the soul, the truth that Allah is the One Who gives man the soul destroys all of their materialist beliefs and claims. Even though they try to mark this as “unexplained”, it is an open and certain fact that the soul is the source of consciousness, and it is the reality that belongs to man, the being that says “I am me”. Allah revealed in the Qur’an that He first created man out of clay and then He breathed His Soul into him:
“When your Lord said to the angels, ‘I am creating a human being out of dried clay formed from fetid black mud. When I have formed him and breathed My Spirit into him, fall down in prostration in front of him!’” (Surat al-Hijr, 28 - 29)
The amygdala, which is located deep inside the brain and in the shape of an almond, is a region that helps us understand other people’s emotions. The research shows that it has an important role especially in fear but scientists think that it is also related with several mental events.
For example, the amygdala of people with the disorder known as autism, which is about avoiding social relations and not understanding others’ emotions, contains neurons less than the normal number. However, it is no doubt impossible that a structure made up of fat, water and proteins could form human consciousness and turn the person into a being that senses people, thinks, gets happy, becomes proud, gets excited and establishes social relations. It is the “human soul” that can see without the eye, hear without the ears and think without the brain.
A person is a being that has concepts such as honor, love, respect, friendship, loyalty, and honesty through his soul, that can express an opinion and oppose other opinions. Just as a single cell at the tip of your finger cannot have qualities such as thinking, making a decision, being sad or happy, it is also impossible that neurons in the brain have these metaphysical traits. This is an obvious truth, which all people can easily see and understand without the need for scientific evidence. Almighty Allah points out the subject of the soul in one verse of the Qur’an as such:
"They will ask you about the soul. Say: ‘The soul is my Lord’s concern. You have only been given a little knowledge." (Surat al-Isra’, 85)
What Happens If the Amygdala Region Does Not Exist?
The life of a young person whose amygdala is removed changes to a considerable extent by turning into an inadequacy to evaluate the emotional meaning of events and an emotional blindness.
When he has a personality that likes being with people and talks very well, he prefers to stay idle towards his friends, even his mother and father, and prefers to live all alone and far from everyone.
He is insensitive towards the pains his close ones go through.
All passion, fears and sorrow are replaced with a great silence and senselessness and he has forgotten to even cry.

Believers' bonds of love are a shield that eliminates oppression
Believers' bonds of love are a shield that eliminates oppression
.gif "0005%5B1%5D%20(3)")
Muslims Love for One Another Is a Manifestation of the Profound Love and Passion for Allah
The Qur'an is the Basis of Love
Why do Muslims love one another?
What is the measure by which Muslims love one another?
How does Mr. Adnan Oktar describe the conception of love that comes as a blessing from Allah?
One of the main characteristics of Muslims is that they have a great love of Allah, Allah's messengers and prophets and for all Muslims who seek Allah’s approval. This bond of love and friendship between believers is revealed as follows in the Qur’an:
“Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger and those who have iman: those who establish prayer and pay alms, and bow.” (Surat al-Ma’ida, 55)
Muslims Love for One Another Is a Manifestation of the Profound Love and Passion for Allah
The true source of Muslims’ love for one another is their profound love of Allah. Believers whose aim in the life of this world is to earn the approval and mercy of Allah and paradise spend their whole lives for Allah. As revealed in the Qur’an in the verse "Say: ‘My prayer and my rites, my living and my dying, are for Allah alone, the Lord of all the worlds,” (Surat al-An’am, 162), they seek to earn Allah’s approval in all they do and in all their behavior. The love of believers who dedicate all they have to earning Allah’s approval is also for Allah alone.
The love of a believer who knows Allah, who witnesses His might and greatness at every moment and who feels His love, affection and mercy throughout his life, is incomparable stronger than any other love. His love for other believers will similarly be powerful and profound since it is based on love of Allah. The fact that he knows that the friendship he enjoys with other believers will last for all time in the hereafter is another reason for that being very strong and permanent. Allah cites the moral values of the Prophet John (pbuh) in the Qur’an as an example of the love of believers:
“[After the child had been born and grown We said], ‘John, take hold of the Book with vigor.’ We gave him judgment while still a child, and tenderness and purity from Us – he had piety –“ (Surah Maryam, 12-13)
Our Prophet (saas) also reveals in the hadiths that believers’ love for one another is for Allah’s approval:
Abu Zarr (pbuh) relates: "Rasulullah (saas) said: "The most virtuous of deeds is to love for Allah’s sake and to hate for Allah’s sake." (Kütüb-i Sitte, Vol. 10, p. 140; Abû Dâvud, Sünnet 3, 4599)
"The strongest bonds of faith are friendship for Allah, enmity for Allah and love for Allah." (Kütüb-i Sitte, Vol. 10, p. 141)
Believers with a great love and fear of Allah and who honestly strive for His approval of them, are auspicious people who bring beauty to the world. Because of these superior virtues they also love Allah’s creations, feel affection and compassion for them, and wish to protect them and do them good.
Allah has revealed that in return for this fine love and their sincere devotion to our Lord that stem from the faith in believers’ hearts and their fear of Him, they will be rewarded with paradise, the place of the best love and devotion.
The Qur'an is the Basis of Love
Our Lord does not only command His servants to love in the Qur’an. He also describes in detail what form the foundation of love will take. For example, He reveals that at the basis of a person’s love for someone else will lie patience, loyalty, generosity, care, truthfulness, courage, protectiveness and loving other more than one loves oneself. Allah refers to this love as follows in the Qur’an:
“Those who were already settled in the abode, and in faith, before they came, love those who have made pilrgrimage to them and do not find in their hearts any need for what they have been given and prefer them to themselves even if they themselves are needy. It is the people who are safe-guarded from the avarice of their own selves who are successful.” (Surat al-Hashr, 9)
As revealed in this verse, characteristics such as consideration, loyalty and fortitude are the most significant indicators of love. People who are egotistical and selfish, and not patient and forgiving, are totally devoid of true love. Our Lord, who of course has a flawless knowledge of the behavior and attitudes of the servants He creates, their psychology in other words, describes the features of people who are loveless and do not behave in accordance with the moral values of the Qur’an in detail in that book, and thus makes it easier for Muslims to identify those characteristics.
Allah reveals in the Qur’an that hard work and care and attention are necessary for love. He notes that loves needs to be tended, just like a flower. Some people who do not know the true love that Allah describes in the Qur’an imagine that love is dependent on physical appearance and that people can only be loved if they are attractive. Yet people’s anatomical structures consist of flesh, fat, bone and blood; therefore, were it not for the skin, the work of Allah’s matchless creation, there would be very little about people to like. People who turn their love toward matter do not in fact love that appearance. It is at this point that the basis of the true love that believers feel for one another emerges. This is because believers love people, not just for their external appearance, but for the moral virtues they embody in their souls. And it is believers who live by the moral values of the Qur’an and seek the approval of Allah who possesses these moral qualities. For that reason, MUSLIMS LOVE OTHER MUSLIMS. AND AMONG MUSLIMS, THEY MOST LOVE THOSE THEY REGARD AS HAVING THE MOST PIETY AND BEING THE MOST SINCERE BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE QUR’AN, LOVE IS DEPENDENT ON PEITY, AND MUSLIMS MOST LOVE THE PERSON THEY REGARD AS HAVING MOST OF ALLAH’S APPROVAL. This is revealed as follows in a verse:
“Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should love Allah. But those who have faith have greater love for Allah. If only you could see those who do wrong at the time when they see the punishment, and that truly all strength belongs to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment.” (Surat al-Baqara, 165)
