The verses of the Qur’an regarding the second coming of Jesus (pbuh)

ADNAN OKTAR: [Reading an audience message] Sinan Albayrakoglu... "Is there any proof in the Qur’an in this regard?" asks Sinan. Listen carefully please. Referring to Jesus Messiah (pbuh), God says in the Qur’an, "He is a Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it." (Surat az-Zukhruf, 61) What would you make of this? Look, God does not say the same about the Prophet Muhammad (saas), or the Prophets Abraham (pbuh), Isaac (pbuh), Jacob (pbuh), Noah (pbuh) or any other prophets. Only Jesus Messiah (pbuh). God says, "Jesus, son of Mary, is a sign of the Last Day." What do you infer from this? God says in the Qur’an, "... I will place the people who follow you above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection." (Surah Al' Imran, 55) What do you make of this? God does not say the same to our Prophet (saas). God does not promise him "I will establish on earth those who love you." Neither does He give such a promise to the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), or the Prophet Noah (pbuh). Look, "I will place the people who follow you..." God says, "…above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection." And God does not say the same to our Prophet, Muhammad (saas). Or Noah (pbuh), Isaac (pbuh), or any other prophets. "There is not one of the People of the Book who will not believe in him before he dies..." (Surat an-Nisa', 159) Is there a verse in the Qur’an like this about any other prophets? God does not say anything like this to any prophet including our Prophet (saas). God says,"the People of the Book", implying everyone on earth. Look, those in north pole, south pole; every single human being that is underground, or above the ground. "There is not one of the People of the Book who will not believe in him before he dies..." In other words, God says, "I will make everyone believe in Jesus Messiah, without exception." No one will be able to say, "I do not believe in him." Everyone will believe in him. What do you infer from this? Yet you still wonder whether Jesus (pbuh) will come or not. Isn't the verse quite clear about it? There are three verses. God does not say anything like this for other prophets. What this means is undeniably obvious. This is mentioned in the hadiths to the extent of being commonly accepted. God says, "Jesus Messiah, the son of Mary, will come." Besides, there is nothing to be surprised about it. God says in the Qur’an, "What do you think about those who left their homes in thousands in fear of death? God said to them, ‘Die!’ and then brought them back to life." (Surat al-Baqara, 243) This is a verse in the Qur’an. God says "Mawt". People ask, “How can one rise from dead?" God answers, "They can if I resurrect them." Again, in another case, God says, "We said, ‘Hit him with part of it (the part of the cow you have sacrificed)!’ In that way God gives life to the dead..." (Surat al-Baqara, 73) And God says, "They hit the dead and he came back to life." No one can say it is impossible for the dead to come back to life. God says in the verse of the Qur’an "...and when you brought forth the dead by My permission..." (Surat al-Ma'ida, 110) This shouldn’t surprise you when you consider the fact that Jesus Messiah could bring forth the dead. "Jesus is dead, how can he come back to life?" people wonder. Nowhere in the Qur’an does God mention that Jesus Messiah is dead. God says in the Qur’an, "I will take you back and raise you up to Me." (Surah Al'Imran, 55) In the Qur’an, God uses the word “tawaffaa”, “I will raise you up to My Presence.” God says to Jesus Messiah, "I will make you pass away" as in the sleep. God took Jesus Messiah away while he was in deep sleep. Besides, he had to be asleep. Otherwise how can you go there? How can you traverse to another dimension? God had to take his soul away. So, along with his body, his soul was taken as well. Were the soul of Jesus Messiah supposed to remain in this world when his body was taken? This is what these people want. They want his soul to stay behind. As both his body and his soul were taken away, he passed away, “tawaffaa”. He was taken away. He was taken away by God. This does not mean he died. Besides you die everyday. God says in the Qur’an, "God takes back people’s selves when their death arrives and those who have not yet died, while they are asleep. He keeps hold of those whose death has been decreed and sends the others back for a specified term." (Surat az-Zumar, 42) Yes.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated August 23rd, 2015

Before the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) there will be armed communist terror acts

“The reappearance of the Mahdi will be preceded by two types of death: The red death. Five out of seven people will perish through this.”That is to say, they draw attention to the redness of communism, the red communism. Notice that this was told 1400 years ago. It is a miracle that it was told that the color of communism is red. It is stated that it will be carried out by sword [weapon], the red death.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s Live Conversation on A9TV on 26th  August 2015



Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear in the appearance of the red star. Zevra will be ruined.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s Live Conversation on A9TV on 26th  August 2015

Believers do not experience any fear or difficulty after they die

Adnan Oktar’s A9 TV interview dated 21 June 2015

ADNAN OKTAR: There are people who buy graves. They say, “Let’s be together as a family. The view should be nice. He would get bored in the grave”. “It should be with sea view,” they say. That person becomes soil in the grave. There is nothing left. He will not be alive there. They don’t believe in it. They think the dead is still there. They think if the grave is ostentatious, he would be comfortable, a fancy place made of marble. Also they say “let’s be together as a family, let’s not be apart”. They think if they are together, they will rise comfortable in the Day of Judgment. They think if they are not together, they will not be able to find each other. The world will be destroyed in the Judgment Day. There won’t be any graves left. They don’t understand. It will be flat. The world will be destroyed and the moon and the sun will join. God states in the verse "the mountains become like shifting dunes". Would there be a grave there? The Qur’an says "the oceans surge into each other" Everything will be crashed, graveyards; everything will be in the air. Nothing will stay. Everyplace will melt down, soil and so. The ground will be flattened, just flat. So, there won’t be graves there, marble graves, nothing like that. They think their graves will stay and they will rise as a family. It will not be like that; they should understand it from the Qur’an.  

Our fellow brothers who are into this family grave concept get it wrong. If they feel good about it, okay it is something else. When the Judgment Day comes, the world will be demolished into the ground. Do they not understand it? It is stated in the verse “the mountains become like shifting dunes ". It is the Judgment Day. Everything will be flattened. There will not be trees, flowers, insects, nothing. Stones will melt. The world will be scattered like dust. The sun and the moon will join. And you are talking about marble graves “we will be there as a family”. It is not like that. God states He will raise people up from where they lay. We don’t know how this will happen. I mean probably all humanity will rise instantly. They will realize they had been lying after they rise, that they had been in lying position. He looks he is lying. He rises, straightens up, that is it. It is a vast land. The situation of believers is different. Believers will be in a vehicle. They will have light in front of them and beside them. They will have a host with them. He will be complimenting them, showing them love. The crowd will be running towards a certain point all together. They will see something like a pillar. They will hear a voice from it; a human voice. It is named “Summoner” in the verse. It is a human voice. It is like the summoner is telling “come here all”. Everybody is flooding towards it. How many are they? Let’s say ten billion. It is a very vast land, they are running on a vast land. God states “"like swarming locusts ". Hell will be cluttered up with these people. God makes them get down on their knees, taking them into hell. Believers will be separated. Believers will not be involved in such situations. They will not experience any terror unbelievers will experience. Yet, God informs unbelievers what will happen beforehand, so they would regret. Believers will be witnessing all these from afar. Believers will be experiencing all great things. There will not be any hardship, suffering or fear at all at any stage for them. Everything will run smoothly for them; when they die, when they arise from dead, when they are taken into paradise. In other words, they will not experience any uneasiness. "They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow" says God. God promises, it is clear.

ENDER DABAN: You had told us before teacher, believers are questioned in a very nice manner.

ADNAN OKTAR: It will be as a compliment, to please them. For example, God says “you communicated the message all through your life, is that true?” he answers “Yes, my God”. What is it for? God does it to please him. For example, God says “you spent all your possessions in the way of God, is that correct?” and he replies “yes”. The questioning will take only a short time anyway. Angels will be showing believers love incredibly. They will be taken with a joy, with a great delight. Once they enter the gates of paradise, that is it, it is then forever.

OKTAR BABUNA: You said “One who is questioned last thinks he is the first.”

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes. All people in the world will be questioned. A believer, for example, let’s assume he will be questioned last, he thinks he has been questioned first. It is stated, “he will return to his family joyfully”. Then others ask him “what were you asked?” and he replies, “I was asked this and that”, all pleasant things, the questioning is for his pleasure. There will not be anything that would bother him. So a Muslim doesn’t need to brood over what will happen”. But he should fear hell, it is another matter, however, he doesn’t need to fear “what troubles am I going to get through as a Muslim?” It is not the case. If you think that way, you would commit a sin. For a Muslim, it is not possible whatsoever. He will be very comfortable everywhere, everything will flow very smoothly. It is nothing like that.

GÖKALP BARLAN: God states, “We will erase their bad actions from them, and recompense them for the best of what they did.”

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, but one should concentrate on paradise very well. It should be comprehended very well. The faith needs to be strengthened. He needs to absorb it in his head. These are important. I mean, one should not think paradise as a blurred concept.  A Muslim needs to know everything that is told in the Qur’an about paradise.

When death is not the end

SOME sayings work for millions of people in the world, no matter what language they are spoken in. Carpe diem is definitely one of these. But how correctly is this saying by Horace perceived today?

Carpe diem, in fact, means that one should be aware that death can come at any moment and, therefore, you should value each and every second. What the famous poet meant when he said, “In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb’d away. Seize the present; trust tomorrow e’en as little as you may”, was that the life of this world is very brief, and that sooner or later, we will return to the earth.

Yet today, this concept is regarded as encouraging a philosophy of hedonism and meaning “live for today, have fun, and forget about tomorrow”.

As one can see from their lifestyles, speech and behaviour, a great many people today really choose to live as if they were not going to die and elect to make maximum use of the benefits of this world; indeed, death is what these people care to think about least.

Never mind thinking about death, they do not care even to remember it. When a friend or someone they know dies, they are utterly devastated. Facing the fact that they, too, will one day die literally makes them sick, inflicts upon them a psychological breakdown and makes them unable to take any pleasure from anything.

The reason why they are so afraid of death is that they regard it as the end and imagine they will cease to be after they die. They, therefore, seek a solution in living as if they will never die.

But the true face of the life of this world is always at their heels and makes its presence felt at every moment, despite their wishes. Although they wish never to grow old or sick, and to remain forever young and healthy, their youth departs in a few brief decades, and they become afflicted by sickness.

Even the most perfect and healthy-looking person inevitably grows old and dies. Thousands of deaths take place every day. The roads are filled with cemeteries. The people buried just a metre or two apart once ate in restaurants, watched television, went to the movies, took photos with their loved ones on their travels and made plans for the future, but these things lost any significance when they died.

The surprising thing is that those left behind are themselves keenly aware of all this but their devotion to this world never decreases, and they continue chasing after the things of this world even though they are, step by step, day by day, drawing closer to death.

Yet, death is one of the greatest realities of all. It is foolish to disregard that reality and forget that life is brief and death can come at any time. Death may come when you never expect, and everything that one has acquired in this world, property, possessions and rank, will be left behind.

Nobody will be able to take his wealth, rank, prestige or anything else into the hereafter. A person enters the grave with his body, clad only in a shroud, and even that soon begins to decay.

In short, death is an inescapable fact. Living in the knowledge of that fact bestows the most agreeable attributes upon a person.

One has a clear and sharp mind: Someone who knows that everything and everyone in this world is finite, and that death can come at any moment, first and foremost has a high level of awareness. He begins purging himself of the transitory desires of this world and of feelings of the lower self. He begins to realise his own weakness. Someone who grasps his own weakness becomes more virtuous, more tolerant, more forgiving and more conciliatory.

He becomes more loving, compassionate and affectionate. He becomes altruistic and humane and thinks of others’ comfort rather than his own. Most importantly, he begins seeking the purpose of life and becomes aware of the extraordinary order that pervades the universe.

On the other hand, he sees the blessings he possesses and realises that it is God Who bestows them all. As he comes to know God, he begins to realise that life is not only the brief span allotted here; he comes to recognise that God, Who created this world, will also create an eternal life after death, and that this eternal life will start after death.

As we have seen, reflecting on death leads on to the true path. It enables a person to be someone who believes in God and knows that he has a soul, who knows that his purpose in this world is to serve God, that he has been sent into this world to be tested and that after that test he will have to account for himself in the hereafter.

For such a person, death is not something to be feared, but a means to come to our Lord, Who we love above all else and to Whom we are devoted with fervour and passion, and a doorway to eternity. Death is not the end, but rather the beginning of the real, eternal life.

It is severe oppression to sentence Mohammed Morsi to death

#NoToExecutionOfMorsi

Adnan Oktar: Let’s make a hashtag [in Twitter] regarding the  death penalty given to Morsi. Let our brothers support this hashtag. ‘NoToExecutionOfMorsi’. He is a believer, a Muslim person. He may have erred, he may be imperfect. But he makes this error within his belief. He may acted that way since he is a believer in orthodox, traditional belief [of Islam]. But he did not hang or butcher anyone, he did not seize someone’s property. Capital punishment would be oppression for him. Yes that hashtag ‘NoToExecutionOfMorsi’ is fine. Let’s demand world support for it. That would be deterrent. That is to say, seeing that the world is against the death penalty would make a positive effect on Egyptian government.

Thunder glorifies His praise

http://www.arabnews.com/islam-perspective/news/730311

HARUN YAHYA

Published — Friday 10 April 2015

Three billion thunders a year… a source of energy that moves at a speed of 96,000 km per hour and releases 30,000 degrees of heat.

Have you ever thought how thunder, one of the most magnificent atmospheric incidents that Allah creates, is formed and how it is capable of releasing such a high amount of energy?

During rainfall, thunder and lightning that are made up of bright lights forming in the course of atmospheric discharge of electricity are in fact energy resources producing more electricity than thousands of power plants; besides being a climatic phenomenon. The answer to the questions of how these natural energy sources are formed and how powerful they give out light and heat is a wonder of creation revealing the Ever-Lasting Might and Glory of Our Lord.

A magnificence forming in a split second

• The energy released by a single lightning bolt is greater than the energy produced in all power plants across the entire America.
• One lightning can light a 100 watt bulb for more than 3 months.
• At the contact point of a lightning to the ground, weather is warmed up to 25.000oC. The speed of a lightning bolt is 150.000 km per second and its average thickness is 2.5-5 cm.
• An average lightning possesses 20.000 ampere of electric power. A welder uses only 250-400 ampere to weld steel.
• Lightning moves at a speed of 150.000 km per second, that is almost at half of the speed of light and it is 100.000 times faster than sound.

Light released by one lightning is greater than that of 10 million 100-watt light bulbs. That is to say; if every house in Istanbul had a light a bulb on, illumination from a single lightning bolt would be greater. Allah announces this glamorous flash of lightning as: “…The brightness of His lightning almost blinds the sight.” (Qur’an, 24:43)

How is lightning formed? Air, warmed by the sunlight rises carrying along the water evaporating inside it. When this risen air reaches 2-3 km, it comes into contact with the layers of cold air.

Ice crystals that are formed inside the clouds at the time of air rising, release static electric energy formed due to friction. This electrical energy is loaded positive (+) on top layers of the clouds and negative (-) on low layers. When the cloud is loaded enough to ionize the air; lightning is formed.

Why does it thunder? Lightning heats the air nearby up to 30.000 degrees Celsius in one millionth of a second. The air warmed up dilates. And it propagates sound waves much faster than the speed of sound; with a pressure 100 times greater than the normal atmospheric pressure. Similar to the airplanes crossing the speed of sound, this causes an explosion sound in the air. And this is named as thunder.

Why doesn’t light and sound reach the earth simultaneously? This is because the sound of thunder reaches us at the speed of sound (340 m/seconds in air); whereas the visual aspect of the lightning reaches us at the speed of light (299.793 km/seconds). This causes a time difference between the two incidents and thus results in the bolt reaching the earth before the thunder.

Difference between lightning and thunderbolt

When the difference in electric charge becomes greater between the earth and the cloud, it becomes easier for air to be pierced and from earth to the cloud; electrical discharge starts through the conductor duct formed by the pierced air. The electrical discharge from the clouds is called lightning and the electrical discharge from the earth back to the cloud is called thunderbolt or return stroke.

Lightning facts in the Holy Qur’an

Surah Ar-Ra’d is one of the chapters in the Qur’an and it means “The Thunder.” Allah announces that the thunder formed by the lightning repeats His praises: “The thunder glorifies His praise, as do the angels, out of fear of Him. …” (Qur’an, 13:13)

Lightning reminds of death

Experiences of those who survived a strike of lightning that causes the death of hundreds of people every year, remind us of death as well as revealing the helplessness of man in the Presence of Allah.

The possibility of getting struck by lightning is one in 700,000; yet one should not underestimate this possibility as well as the effects of the lightning. According to the statements made by those who have been struck by lightning, the electrical current can explode the buttons and zippers on the clothes and people can faint and fall down. Due to brain damage, people who have been treated for 1-2 months at the intensive care divisions of hospitals are having to re-learning how to walk, how to swallow, or in other words how to live again. These people have described how they felt, and say it is as if they “lived death and then were resurrected.”

In the Holy Qur’an, a very similar incident occurred in a strike of lightning Allah showed to the people of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). With a disgraceful and false courage, the Israelites demanded that the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) enable them to see Allah with their own eyes and while demanding this, they were shown the similar effect of a lightning. The following statements in the verse “So the thunder-bolt struck you dead” and “Then We brought you back to life after your death,” may be a sign for the fact that they felt resurrected after their heart stop related to the shock as well as the loss of consciousness and loss of memory they experienced. (Allah knows the best).

Here are the related verses in the Qur’an: “And when you said, ‘Moses, we will not believe in you until we see Allah with our own eyes.’ So the thunderbolt struck you dead while you were looking. Then We brought you back to life after your death, so that perhaps you would show thanks.” (Qur’an, 55-56)

Adopt my faith, or die

Bigotry: The Dark Danger

“Adopt my faith, or die!” That is the slogan of the fanatics. There is no such concept as democracy, freedom of ideas, love, respect, affection, friendship or altruism in fanaticism. Some people imagine that fanaticism, and its offshoot radicalism, can settle inside a true faith. Yet fanaticism is itself a religion; there are representatives of the religion of fanaticism inside every idea. There are fanatics in Islam, in Judaism and in Christianity, just as there are in Marxism, fascism and atheism. They all espouse the same false faith; “I don't like your ideas! Either go along with my ideas, or die!”

In the system of antichrist inciting to crime and then sentencing to death is oppression

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s Live Conversation on A9TV dated January 11th, 2015

"Dear Mr. Adnan Oktar, I have read your articles that argue against the death penalty in the world. Some of my friends object to this. They claim that arguing against the death penalty is contrary to the teachings of Islam. They maintain that as per God’s commands death penalty can be practiced on those who commit inhuman crimes and they can be responded by retaliation. They suggest that God’s commands on this matter cannot be changed. I am waiting for your response on this subject."

Okay fine, Islam is not prevalent in the world. But in the system of antichrist if you practice death penalty, then you become the helper of antichrist. That is to say, you will get to help oppression. Since Islam is not ruling in the world right now. If Islam would be ruling in the world, no one would commit a crime that would necessitate the implementation of death penalty. There will be no such life. Darwinist and materialistic education will be not poisoning people’s minds. And some people will not be crazed. No depressed, suicidal types who lose their minds will form in that atmosphere. Therefore, what I say is right. The men of antichrist kill and butcher people. You are also saying “I will kill and butcher”. Is Islam dominant in the world right now? No. Is Islam ruling? No. When Islam rules, is there any death punishment in Islam? Yes. But let’s see what God says in the verse. They don’t read that part of the verse. Forgiving is more auspicious for you, the verse says. Why don’t you mention about this?

It says more auspicious. Why would you not want what is more auspicious for you? God says death penalty is auspicious, but forgiving is more auspicious, He says. Which one you would choose? You would choose what is more auspicious for you. You would not choose the other one while there is a better one for you. You choose what is more auspicious. You choose the one that makes you win God’s consent more. See, this part is kept hidden. Why don’t you tell about this part? You forgive the man, and then the matter is over. You say, “I forgive you on the condition that you pray five times a day and learn the verses of the Quran by heart. And you will pass this time in jail.” That is what his guardian may say in an Islamic society. But there is modern law in almost all the world. Then the antichrist kills a man and you kill a man. The system is founded as to abet him to commit the crime. Then you will ask the man why he killed a man, and you will hang that man. You are making him go crazy, you take his mind off. You show him films of murder day and night. You raise him with Darwinist, materialistic education. You tell him that people came into existence owing to a worm. [In other words,] you tell him that that person is not human. You incite him to madness, lunacy; then he becomes insane and you tell him come here I will hang you. What about your crime then? You are the one driving him mad. Yes, he is also committing a crime, but who drives him to that point? You. What is the penalty for the one that drives him mad? For this reason it will not happen. But in the system of Mahdi, the commandments of the Quran are so explicit and they will be put into practice. But there will be no murderers in the societies where the system of Mahdi prevails. What does the resources say? There will not be a drop of bloodshed. The sleeping person will not waked up from his sleep. Not even a nose bleeds. If there is not even a drop of bloodshed, how can there be death penalty? There will be no murders and not death penalty. May God spare, even if there is one murderer, then what does God say for those who are crazed? He says if you forgive that is better. So, Muharrem from Canada should tell my words to his friends.

Adnan Oktar: May God reward Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani with the highest levels of paradise

Adnan Oktar: May God reward Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani with the highest levels of paradise 

Adnan Oktar: May God reward Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani with the highest levels of paradise

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated May 07th, 2014

The Sheikh’s work in this world has come to an end. His work was to preach Islam. Almighty God has told him his work is done. Come let Me take you into paradise, He said. My dear one was finding it hard in his old age. Almighty God regarded his merit of old age as sufficient. He received the merit of old age. The merit of old age is highly acceptable. His behavior in hospital was very excellent. Our Prophet (pbuh) says that the end of spiritual guides is the rank of martyr. Since our sheikh was a spiritual guide, he has ended as a martyr. That is very good for him. He used to say he would see the Mahdi. He is with the Mahdi now. Our Sheikh knew the Mahdi. He said that very explicitly. He also used to speak with Khidhir (pbuh). My dear one, he struggled with his self and has now surrendered that fine soul. May Almighty God also make us his neighbors [in paradise].

He is now talking with the Messgenger of God, with the Mahdi and with Bediuzzaman. He is both eating, and asking our teacher’s opinion, Our Sheikh was the sweetest man in the world, masha’Allah. 

May God grant our Sheikh the finest rank in paradise. My condolences to his family. To Sheikh Mehmet in particular. His spirituality will continue with him. All of Cyprus has risen to its feet for our Sheikh. He was the jewel in Cyprus’ crown. 

Our Sheikh is now a saint. He also had such an attribute before. He will come to places in spirit form. Bediuzzaman sets this out in the Treatise of Light. He speaks of 'Guides appearing in the spiritual form" God allows them to watch their friends and loved ones for a time. Our Sheikh now sees me speaking about him. 

I am delighted that our Sheikh has gone to paradise, insha’Allah. He is now very comfortable, insha’Allah. He also has the opportunity to watch us now. There are two dimensions, length and width. We can see outside in the third dimension, but we cannot see other dimensions. Imagine someone who lives in a television screen. He cannot see the outside because he is limited to that screen. But since we are in the third dimension we can see out from that screen. God bestows such a favor on spiritual. The questioning of the guides is very brief. It only happens so that they can enjoy it. You have preached, is that right? You have handed out books, is that right? This is described in the hadiths. The questioning takes place last, but the person thinks it happens first. Yet it takes place last. That is how it is with guides. This happens as a compliment, just to make them happy. 

(Viewer’s letter) "Grieving is a sin, but the death of our Sheikh has grieved me."  We must not grieve, we must rejoice because he has gone to paradise. Our sheikh struggled with his sickly body. That is very hard. He has gone to talk with the Messenger of God in a garden in paradise. I rejoice at that, my brother. He is with the Mahdi, Jesus the Messiah and all of them. 

Oktar Babuna (my brain surgeon friend) was at the front of the funeral, behind the imam. He also carried the Sheikh’s coffin. He waited beside our Sheikh for days. He spent all his time in the hospital. If I phoned at 3 at night, there he was. We were in touch with at least 100 doctors about our Sheikh’s health. The hospital was open to all advice, masha’Allah. As a precautionary measure, the nurses looking after our Sheikh never spoke with other patients. 

I envy our sheikh. What wonderful tables must be set in paradise now. Our sheikh was such a handsome man. Imagine what he is like in paradise now! He loved our Prophet. He is now at table with him. He loved the Mahdi very much. He is now at table with him. He loved all the prophets. He is at table with them now. 

He was bent over double, but still waged jihad. Even when they said, your son is here, in the hospital he would raise his hand to make them happy. Look how lovely that is. 

Kartal Göktan: Foreign Minister Davutoğlu has issued an excellent message. "May our Lord have mercy on Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi, who never begrudged his prayers for our struggle. My condolences to those who loved him. May God reunite them all in paradise." 

Adnan Oktar: Masha’God. You see, a real Muslim.

There is a tape of Tayyip Hodga and Erbakan Hodja praying with the sheikh. Let us see it. 

Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi: Stand up. Godu Akbar.

Adnan Oktar: what a sweet person. He was amazingly sweet. As soon as he tells them to get up, everyone stands up. Masha’God. 

Bülent: There is also a picture of you talking with Sheikh Nazim. 

Adnan Oktar: I attended one of the Sheikh’s assemblies. Let me see. Yes, we are there with Mehmet Şevket Eygi Hodja. I was still at the academy then. What a sweet person. The lamb of paradise. 

Bülent: He addressed you as his big son. 

Adnan Oktar: 'My big son,’ he said. When he fell ill he said, ‘Ihave a son, I am not alone.’ I am delighted he has gone to paradise. What an honorable life he led. He was a one-off. 

Sheikh Nazim Hodja would have died long ago. But God gave him a long life because he loved Hazrat Mahdi. He granted him honor and beauty. One of his main characteristics was that he loved God, and also his intense love of Hazrat Mahdi.

The Polytheists’ Conception of Mourning

The Polytheists’ Conception of Mourning

Mourning for days, refusing to smile and removing all sources of joy from life is a custom that belongs to the society of ignorance. For Muslims, death means the end of the test in this world, the passage to our eternal abode and, most important of all, meeting with our beloved Lord. Muslims do not, therefore, mourn when someone dies. On the contrary, they rejoice that someone they love has gone to God and say, “Insha’Allah, our Lord has been pleased with him.” Mourning is a superstitious custom among people who fail to grasp the wisdom of destiny, who do not submit willingly to it, who cannot see the beauty in God’s creation and who do not realize that this world is indeed a transitory place.

Therefore, when someone dies, Muslims advise one another not to mourn. They advise one another not to grieve or  be sad or unhappy. When death comes, Muslims advise one another to welcome what God has ordained in destiny with joy and fortitude because grieving, may God forbid, means not being content with the destiny appointed by Him. It means rebellion against what God has created, may He forbid.

Some people who say, “How can you be having fun while people are dying in Syria, Palestine and Egypt” forget this fact. What a Muslim must do in the face of the losses and sufferings in Syria, Egypt and Palestine is not to grieve, but rather strive to bring those sufferings to an end. The people who express that idea themselves have fun at weddings, laugh at TV chat shows and enjoy watching films, despite all the pain in the world.

Death is not the end for a believer: It means joining God, our One True Friend and Beloved. The believer treats the death of someone he loves with the same joy that he welcomes his own death. The idea that one must be saddened in the face of death is one that belongs to the society of ignorance. Such people are unable to properly appreciate the power and might of God; they grieve since they think that death is the end.

That is why there are many superstitious traditions of mourning in societies and especially in formerly pagan cultures. For example, when someone died in ancient Egypt women in the house of the deceased would rub mud over their heads and faces and beat their bare breasts after tying their clothes to their bodies with thread. Similar customs were found among the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Romans. Judaic mourning customs included tearing the clothes, wearing coarse cloth, sitting on the floor, rubbing ashes on the head, fasting, tearing out the hair and weeping and beating oneself. In some cultures, professional mourners would be hired to weep and lament, and this would go on for several days.

The pagans of Mecca are known to have mourned in a similar way when someone died. Our Prophet (saas) forbade Muslims to mourn:

Ibnu Abbas relates: "The Messenger of God (saas) said: MOURNING IS A DOING FROM THE SOCIETY OF IGNORANCE...."

Ibnu Umar relates: "THE MESSENGER OF GOD (saas) FORBADE A WOMAN WHO WAS WEEPING LOUDLY TO FOLLOW THE DECEASED."

Cerir Mevla Muaviye relates: "Hazrat Muaviye preached a sermon in Homs and reminded the congregation that the Messenger of God had forbidden mourning."

The way that Rasulullah (saas) wept for a brief moment when his son Ibrahim died is a sign of his affection and compassion. Those people who misinterpret our Prophet’s (saas) fine moral virtue and wish to maintain the pagan customs of the Time of Ignorance are thus behaving  wrongly.

We have created all things in due measure. (Surat al-Qamar, 49)

Say: ‘Nothing can happen to us except what God has ordained for us. He is Our Master. It is in God that the Muslims should put their trust.’ (Surat al-Tawba, 51)

But you will not will unless God wills. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Surat al-Insan, 30)

No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book.  (Surat al-An'am, 59)

No misfortune occurs except by God’s permission. Whoever has faith in God – He will guide his heart.     God has knowledge of all things. (Surat at-Taghabun, 11)

What form will the death of a believer take?

What form will the death of a believer take?

What form will the death of a believer take?

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated April 11th, 2013

If a person dies as a believer, he will be greeted with great joy and love, as if going to a wedding. He will be greeted by Azrael (pbuh), the angels with him, his loved ones, his friends and with love. His soul will be taken with love, in a joyous, happy and scented atmosphere. He will be congratulated and embraced. They will say masha’Allah and take him away.

But may Allah help him if he is an unbeliever. Then his soul will be taken with harsh blows. He will be badly beaten. Allah says in a verse that they will be hit on the back as their souls are taken. He says we should see it, but we cannot, because they are taken into a different dimension. They are taken into a second dimension. Nobody can be seen there.

Is there punishment in the grave? Those without faith are punished directly. They are asked how long they remained in this world. They will say a day, or about a day. This life seems like a day. They are amazed when they rise. They wonder who caused them to rise. They get up in amazement. Then they realize the essence of the punishment of hell. This is according to what the Qur’an says. But believers go at once to paradise. Believers are not kept waiting, insha’Allah.

Departure of the soul and death

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar ( July 22nd, 2012; 23:00)

(Photo credit: photographsforthesoul.blogspot.com)

Surat at-Tawba

9/55- Do not let their wealth and children impress you. Allah merely wants to punish them by them during their life in this world and for them to expire while they are disbelievers.

People do not see him as they are dying, of course. THE DEPARTURE OF THE SOUL IS SOMETHING ELSE. FOR EXAMPLE, DEATH MAY TAKE PLACE 10 OR 15 MINUTES AFTER PHYSICAL DEATH. OR IT MAY TAKE PLACE 10 OR 15 MINUTES OR HALF AN HOUR BEFORE, YET ONE IS UNAWARE OF IT. THE PERSON KEEPS ON TALKING, BUT HE IS DEAD. ALLAH HAS LONG SINCE TAKEN HIS SOUL. HE SPEAKS IN A SECOND BODY, AS IF IN A DREAM. IN THE SECOND BODY; AS IF IN A STATE OF HYPNOSIS. BUT HE IS DEAD.

Proud in this world

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar ( July 25th, 2012; 23:00)

(Photo credit: topnews.ae)

Adnan Oktar: IT IS IRRATIONAL TO BE PROUD IN THIS WORLD. They were showing some famous women yesterday; they were terribly wrinkled and wretched. Their faces have all been ruined by botox and the like. One can feel that their lips and teeth are suffering. One can sense infections in their faces. Their faces have become pitiable. The dyes have run from their hands and faces. I am saying this out of pity, of course, not out of hatred. THEY TRY TO PUT ON A HAPPY ATTITUDE THERE. BUT NOT ONE WORD IS SPOKEN ABOUT ALLAH. But they are worn out. The old men can barely stand up. They can hardly walk. WHO KNOWS WHAT DIFFERENT DISEASES THEY ALL HAVE? YET THEY STILL SPEAK NOT ONE WORD ABOUT ALLAH. IT IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE.

I LOOKED AT THE YACHT. IT WAS VERY SMART. THE YACHT DOES NOT GROW OLD. I LOOK AT THEIR EARRINGS, DIAMONDS AND EVERYTHING. THEY HAVE NOT THE SLIGHTEST INTENTION OF DYING, BY ALLAH’S LEAVE. THEY REMAIN STONE-LIKE. BUT THE POOR CREATURES WHO USE THEM, THEY DECAY AND WITHER AWAY. I REPEAT, I AM NOT SAYING THIS OUT OF CONTEMPT; I AM REFERRING TO THE WEAKNESS OF THIS WORLD. OTHERWISE I FEEL AFFECTION FOR THEM. BUT LOOK, THAT PERSON OWNS ALL THIS MONEY AND EVERYTHING. THOSE POSSESSIONS AND THE GOBLETS ARE ALL PERFECTLY SOUND. NOTHING HAPPENS TO THEM. BUT THE PEOPLE USING THEM ARE WRETCHED AND DECAYED AND BARELY ABLE TO STAND. Every part of them has collapsed; their ears have sagged, their lips are drooping, their hair is in a terrible state, their joints have given out and they cannot stand upright. Yet they are covered in jewels. Fine armchairs and the like; nothing happens to the chairs. They die, but the chairs survive. Their jewelry boxes – they survive, too. The goblets they use survive. It will be the same with the generations that follow them. Those jewels will survive them, too. Nothing happens to them. They carry right on. But the people who wear them die and rot away under the ground. How can people fail to think of Allah in such wretchedness? How can people fail to think about the hereafter? I am shocked. I am amazed. And they show off to one another. But the situation is really a terribly sad and tragic one, may Allah forbid.

I look at some of them and they are like the walking dead. May Allah forbid. How terrible! PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN FROM THIS. THEY SHOULD BESEECH ALLAH WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT. THEY SHOULD PRAY TO HIM AND SURRENDER TO HIM WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS. HOW CAN ONE FAIL TO THINK ABOUT DEATH? DEATH IS VISIBLE; THE CELLS DIE, THE BODY DIES, AND YOU ARE HEADING FOR DEATH. YOU HAVE COLLAPSED. YOU ARE EFFECTIVELY DEAD ON YOUR FEET. THERE IS NO NEED EVEN TO BURY YOU. THEY CONTINUE DYING ON THEIR FEET. THEIR BONES HAVE MELTED, THEIR MUSCLES HAVE FADED AWAY. THEY ARE RUINED. HOW CAN YOU THINK YOU CAN BE HAPPY IF YOU FORGET ALLAH? HOW CAN YOU FORGET YOUR CREATOR? WHAT IS THERE TO SHOW OFF ABOUT? THERE IS ONLY WRETCHEDNESS. WHO WILL LOOK AFTER YOUR JEWELS THERE? WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR MONEY THERE? It is a most pitiable state of affairs. How can people give any thought to that yacht under those circumstances?
