Thunder glorifies His praise

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)

Adnan Oktar: The ark of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) is waiting to be given to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated November 11th, 2014

Adnan Oktar: Is there anything good about the conflict between Palestine and Israel? Of course, there is. Our Prophet (pbuh) says in the hadiths that Muslims and Jews will fight and blood will be spilled. But then he says that all Jews, apart from a very few, will become Muslims. Why are you causing trouble for people who will become Muslims, my brother? The Qur’an says that a group of them espouses the truth. There are Jews who espouse the truth. The Imam Mahdi will take the Ark of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and place it before the mosque in Jerusalem. Those Jews who see that, all but a very few, will become Muslims there and then. You should enjoy those glad tidings, my brother.

Has the Ark been found? There are people taking an interest, but it is being kept aside to be given to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). It is under special protection. It is being preserved. It has never been opened. Its cover and everything are all intact. The covering has never been removed. Nothing will be apparent when it is brought out and looked at from the outside.

The Knights Templars say they have a holy relic, but that they will only give it to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). When I asked the Templars where the Mahdi is, they said in Istanbul. They said in Rome, that it was written in their 1000-year-old book. They said they saw a light in Istanbul. They say that then there is someone important and of interest, that person is shown to them and they go and find him. They say they will find him, and it is impossible for him to remain hidden.

-  Sanhedrin Court rabbis came to visit you. You welcomed them in the garden, and they said the King Messiah is in Istanbul and everyone should see him.

Adnan Oktar: Yes, the Jews are a holy people, descended from the prophets. Satan is responsible for this hatred against them. I mean, we love the line of our Prophet (pbuh), don’t we? They are also the children of the Prophet Abraham and the Prophet Israel, so you must love them. People should rejoice that they exist. The line of the prophets is still alive, what more do you want? Set those who create corruption among you to one side, but embrace those who love Allah.

Adnan Oktar: The call to prayer will issue from the Temple of the Mount when the Mahdi appears

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated November 11th, 2014

Adnan Oktar: The ram’s horn will be heard to blow in Jerusalem.

- There was a photograph.

Adnan Oktar: Yes, let me see. Yes, that is the one. From a horn. Is the original picture not available?

- Only this one at the moment.

Adnan Oktar: Yes, a very powerful horn. A wondrous sound will emanate from the Dome of the Mount. The muezzin [caller to prayer] will climb to the mount and will read the call to prayer with a beautiful voice.

Church bells will also start ringing at the presence of the Mahdi, when the imam Mahdi appears. Peals of bells will be heard everywhere. These sounds will tell people that an extraordinary time has come. The horn will be blown for hours, the bells will ring for hours and the call to prayer will be made for hours. Then the imam Mahdi will bring the Ark of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) to Al-Aqsa Mosque with great joy, by praising Allah aloud.

And the cover will be lifted, and when the sacred relics are seen, the Jews will begin loudly shouting La Ilah al-Illa’Alah Muhammadan Rasul’Allah [there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger], insha’Allah. Our prophet (saas) says they will all become Muslims, apart from a very few. All the sacred relics will be there in their original state. All the relics from the dawn of history, from relics from the Prophet Adam (pbuh) to those from the Prophet Noah (pbuh). The inscribed stone tablets of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) will be there. What other sacred relics are there?

- The staff.

Adnan Oktar: part of the staff...

- There is the shirt of the Prophet Moses (pbuh). The ring of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh).

Adnan Oktar: What else?  'Manna.' In a gold box. Since gold does not oxidize.  

- Teacher, there will be the original ram’s horn.

Adnan Oktar: Let me see. Yes. That will blow for hours in Jerusalem. When? In the month of Muharram. At what time? At the morning prayer. Everywhere will ring with this sound at first light. Everyone who hears it will realize something extraordinary is happening. The Rabbi who is the head of the Sanhedrin Court said he would bring the Pope when he was here visiting us.

 - Insha’Allah

Adnan Oktar: He said we will also descend from the temple together, insha’Allah. I said, ‘I can smell the scent of the Mahdi.’ ‘I have no sense of smell, but I can see and hear the presence of Moshiach, the Mahdi,’ he said.

Masha’Allah.

So Almighty Allah must have shown him. Insha’Allah, Allah will also allow us to see the Mahdi.

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will open the Ark of the Covenant on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount together accompanied with the current Pope and rabbis

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will open the Ark of the Covenant on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount together accompanied with the current Pope and rabbis

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated July 31th & 26th, 2014

Adnan Oktar:  Can they not stop launching rockets so we can establish peace and this horror can come to an end? What is the point? They are trying to escalate it every day! Let us establish peace so they can embrace one another. Let them announce that they are brothers. The two sides could even establish an army together. They should set up their own defense structures. Let us build the Temple of Solomon at once, and the lovely palace of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Then what should we do…?

Oktar Babuna: Let us climb to the Temple Mount.

Adnan Oktar: Let us climb to the Temple Mount. Look, the gate of Lot is closed. Let us get the rabbis to open it. Then let us get imams and the Pope, and the chief rabbi. Let us walk down from the Mount together, through the gate of Lot. That will be the end of the matter.

Oktar Babuna: Insha’Allah. Will the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) be there, too?

Adnan Oktar: We are waiting for him, otherwise we would long since have been there. It is no good without him, so we are waiting. If we have to wait too long, we will go there anyway. He will see and will hear and will have to come, insha’Allah. He will come to pray. He will come to pray at the Dome of the Rock. We will have to oblige him to come, otherwise he will not.

- When will he come?

Adnan Oktar: Let me explicitly state that Jesus will not come until Hazrat Mahdi makes Islam prevail the world. It is not possible. He will not come until the Christian world feels an intense love for Islam. He will not come until the Jewish world feels an intense love for Islam. The responsibility for that lies with the Mahdi, a man of love. He is now awaiting God’s command. It has nothing to do with his saying, ‘I have come.’ He will say, 'I was made to appear.’ God is now making things hard for the Islamic community. There is great pressure on them. Blood is flowing in Palestine, Libya, Egypt and everywhere. But it will flow much more than that! Blood will flow until the Mahdi tells it to stop!

That is what God desires. That is Almighty God’s command in destiny. We see the blood that has flowed before. It flowed even before the world was made. The angels above saw it and said, ‘The Lord will cause blood to flow. Do You create people in order to give them pain?’ Because God reveals mysteries to them. They know the entire past of the world. They see rivers of blood, particularly in the End Times, in the time of the Mahdi. Almighty God says, you cannot know, but I know. What do the angels not know? The appearance of the Mahdi, the appearance of Jesus the Messiah. They think there will just be bloodshed. Yet Almighty God will produce a light from that sea of blood. The Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. Two brothers. We will see they closely resemble one another. That resemblance is another source of amazement. Their natures will also be very similar.

It is 2000 years since Jesus the Messiah ascended into the sky. The Mahdi has come 2000 years later, but they bear a remarkable resemblance to one another, in nature and appearance. Their meeting will be at the meeting of the two seas told in Surat al-Kahf. God also says that pearls and corals will appear where those two seas meet. That refers to Jesus the Messiah and the Mahdi. From where the two seas meet, says God. That is guarded language, but clear enough for those who wish to understand. The Qur’an is a sea of secrets.

Aylin Kocaman: Can we learn where the Prophet Jesus is?

Adnan Oktar: The location of Jesus the Messiah is a matter of which God is most jealous. He greatly loves Jesus the Messiah. The Roman soldiers climbed the stairs where Jesus was in order to crucify him. Had Almighty God so wished, they could have found him. They could have martyred Jesus the Messiah. He could have raised him into His Presence in that form. But He raised him directly into His Presence in the form of light. He raised him up in a living state, in the form of light. Now, in the End Times He is turning him into light and sending him back. His followers know that he is Jesus the Messiah. But his life is at risk at the moment. 

His return may drive some members of the Catholic Church completely crazy. It will drive members of the Vatican mafia crazy. It is something that will spur the Vatican mafia into action. Therefore, since his life is in danger God will conceal him until the last moment. But the Mahdi will create circumstances in which he commands the Islamic world and the Christian world also draws very close to Islam. 

Moshiach will descend from the Temple of the Mount. There will be rabbis there and Islamic scholars. The Pope will be there. The rabbi I spoke to (who visited from Israel) about this said the Pope will be there!

Oktar Babuna: Will that happen after the Ark of the Covenant?

Adnan Oktar: Yes, after the descent. The Ark of the Covenant will be opened. That is the reason for that procession, in any case. They will go up to the Temple of the Mount. It is not a very steep hill. There will be rabbis. The Mahdi will be there. Insha’Allah, I will be beside the Mahdi. I do not miss such encounters. The Pope will be there. They elected him specially for that task. The Pope knows about the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. I underline that – he knows. He knows what to do and how to behave to whom.

Chief rabbis and Islamic scholars will be there on that day. They will be reasonable scholars though, not fanatics. There will not be any fanatics there on that day.

They will descend from the Temple of the Mount. That rusted iron gate will be opened after 4000 years. Nobody has gone through since then. The gate will be opened and they will pass through. And from there to the al-Aqsa Mosque, insha’Allah. Maybe the Knights of the Temple will be there, and Freemasons. The Ark will be brought up. It will contain sacred relics from the time of the Prophet Solomon and the Prophet Moses. It will be the original Ark of the Covenant.

It will be opened up to the accompaniment of expressions of faith, insha’Allah. The Jews will praise God out loud. Who do the Jews believe can open the Ark? Moshiach! Who will open it? The Mahdi. According to the Torah, only Moshiach can open the Ark. Nobody else. It is a sacred relic that has not been found until then. They failed to find the Ark for 4000 years. Then Moshiach found it and brought it. It is impossible for them to deny that. They have to accept that according to the Torah it is Moshiach who will find the Ark.

Then the first stone of the Temple of Solomon will be laid. A piece of manna will be placed alongside it, insha’Allah. A very small piece of manna, the size of a tea spoon, left over from the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) will be put there. After that, the Prophet Jesus will come as Muslims are praying, insha’Allah. It may be a Friday prayer or any morning prayer. The hadiths speak of a morning prayer. The prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come during an unexpected morning prayer with a small number of select followers, no more than 10. He will come trusting in God. Because trust in the system of the Mahdi will have come about by then. He will smile. There will be no need for him to say to the Mahdi, “I am Jesus.” The Mahdi will realize when he sees him, insha’Allah. Believers will also realize. His followers will say, look whom we have brought. Believers will say, ‘Masha’Allah.” That is all. You will see.  The time is close at hand, insha’Allah. 

Our Prophet (saas) says, “When Hazrat Mahdi appears, he will discuss and prove the matters of which he speaks with the Jews on the basis of the Torah. As a result, many Jews will become Muslims.”

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed (07.06.2014)

The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was sincerely devout, he comes to the Earth to be welcomed

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

Adnan Oktar:  We will see the Mahdi in all his glory in the years to come. We will also see the lovely face of Jesus the Messiah, the son of Mary. We are now preparing the foundations. We must first prepare a home for Jesus the Messiah. You must prepare his home to give him a fine welcome. He is already coming to be welcomed. 

He is a lovely prophet of Almighty God. God has never involved him in conflicts. The Roman army tried to catch him, and Almighty God turned into a form of light. When his body became light they could not see him. Almighty God took him into His Presence. He is a delicate prophet. God will send him to be welcomed and hosted in the Earth. Do you know why Almighty God loves Jesus? Because of his faith. His faith is so great that God feels no need to test him with sufferings. This is an extraordinary state of affairs. Look, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was alarmed when his staff turned into a snake. Not so with Jesus. God told him to walk on water. He had 100% faith he could walk on water, not just 99%. He stepped on the water and really walked on it . The Prophet Jesus told his disciple, “Believe and you can cross.” His disciple felt a moment’s doubt, and sank into the water. The Prophet Jesus told him he had sunk because of his lack of faith. People become metaphysical entities the moment they have complete faith. The prophet Jesus becomes able to resurrect the dead. He has an extraordinary ability. Jesus’ faith is a wonderful faith. This is also described in the Gospels.

Anyone else would have been alarmed when Roman soldiers came, wouldn’t they? But he was quite relaxed. My Lord is with me, he said. I submit myself to God, he said. He was not alarmed. The soldiers came to the door. Judas the Iscariot entered, and Jesus immediately turned into light. Judas the Iscariot was left there alone. When the troops them seized Judas, he swore that he was not Jesus. They dragged Judas the Iscariot out by his hair. He was shouting that he was not Jesus. They then took him and crucified him. They nailed him through his stomach hands and feet. He screamed out till the last moment of his life.

Now Almighty God is sending Jesus the Messiah back. We will marry him to someone when he comes, insha’Allah. Jesus the Messiah is highly clever and intelligent. He has perfect judgment. He looks at the existence of matter and realized it is an image in the brain. He has total faith the evolution could not have evolved. He looks at the structure of proteins and has complete faith in God. He makes full use of his mind. He makes full use of his powers of judgment. Other people are not like that. They cannot fully concentrate. They lose concentration. They start wondering whether Darwinists might be right. They judge facts depending on their degree of faith.

Jesus the Messiah has a very powerful memory. When he reads something it stays in his mind. For example, when he comes, he will know all the signs leading to faith and the miracles of the Qur’an. Just one sign leading to faith is enough for him to believe. He will turn his faith to the universe and wherever he looks he immediately believe. That is not like the faith of ordinary people. It is very powerful.

That is why God sends the Mahdi beforehand and makes him reign over the Islamic world. He creates an environment in which he can be at ease. He will head the Christian world as a Muslim prophet. The Mahdi will wish him to be his caliph. He will become the caliph after the death of the Mahdi. But he will not live long, he will not survive the Mahdi by long. Then there will be great turmoil.

Bediüzzaman says of Muslims that, “They will try to fulfill their duties in secret and in a state of defeat.” Muslims will be out in the open until 1506 Hijri calendar. After 1506 they will be in secret and in a state of defeat. Until 1543. After 1543 the Qur’an will be raised up to the sky. There will be terrible degeneration in the world for two years. It will become intolerable. God will be forgotten. All the pages of the Qur’an will be burned. There will be no Qur’an on Earth. Bediuzzaman says, “When the Qur’an is raised into the sky, the world will lose its mind, it will go mad.” “By the divine will, another planet will strike the Earth since it will have gone mad,” he says. Scientists in any case say that an asteroid will strike the Earth in around 2120. This is no secret. It has appeared in the press. A very large asteroid. Scientifically, they think that this asteroid will crash into the Earth, and then do so again under the force of gravity. The world will then split apart in that second collision. Bediuzzaman says the same thing.

Bediuzzaman said this thing, which has only just been discovered, 80 years ago.

- An asteroid passed close by the Earth today.

Adnan Oktar: Today, wasn’t it?

- yes

- It passed at three times the distance between us and the Moon. At a speed 17 times that of a bullet. 

- Asteroids have been massing around the Earth ever since 1999.

Adnan Oktar: They are being prepared for the Day of Reckoning.

Prophets has interceded for many people

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated May  08th, 2014

Our brother from Azerbaijan asks about intercession. Almighty God will forgive a person, but He says that in the hereafter the forgiveness of someone depends on a person He loves, that is the Prophet or the Mahdi. 'If you say it, I will forgive,’ He says. If our Prophet or the Mahdi bear witness, they will say, ‘O Lord, forgive him.’ This is created as a source of goodness. Almighty God will in any case forgive. But our Prophet has interceded. God asks the Prophet if he will bear witness, if that person is a good person. God already knows whether or not His servant is good. This is created as a beauty of paradise. There are many people left to intercession. The time of the accounting and the status of some people are revealed indirectly. Our Prophet intercedes. Or Jesus the Messiah, the Prophet Moses or the Mahdi intercede, insha’Allah.

Remarks on verses from Surah Yunus

Remarks on verses from Surah Yunus (30.03.2014)

Remarks on verses from Surah Yunus

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March  30th, 2014

In verse 82 of Surah Yunus Almighty God says, “God confirms the Truth by His words, even though the evildoers hate it.” Look, they have done wrong and sinned, but they do not want it. Do not want what? The truth.

In other words, He will produce the Mahdi who brings about the reign of Islam. He will bring down Jesus the Messiah. Look, God says He will confirm the truth by His own words, even though the sinners do not want it. God is bringing about the truth now by His own words. They evildoers do not want it, but there is nothing they can do about it.

In verse 83 Almighty God says, “No one believed in Moses except for a few of his people out of fear that Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate.”

Only a very youthful community had faith, because of the fierce repression by the state at the time. 

"Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate.”

One must seek shelter in God against profligacy, despotism and pride. God will destroy you if you are profligate or despotic or proud. One must not forget that. But a handful of young people have no fear, masha’Allah.

"Moses said, ‘My people! if you believe in God, then put your trust in Him, if you are Muslims’.”

Look, people are Muslims in all periods. The names of the time are Muslim ones. Jewish Muslims, they would say ‘La illaha illa Allah Moses Rasulullah’, meaning ‘there is no god but one God, Moses is His Messenger.’ That was the attestation of faith of the time. Later they said ‘La illaha illa Allah Jesus Rasulullah’, that is to say ‘there is no god but one God, Jesus is His Messenger’.  And now people say ‘La illaha illa Allah Muhammadan Rasulullah’, ‘there is no god but one God, Muhammad is His Messenger.’ They are all true.

Submission to God is the greatest luxury in the world. He says he wants to live in splendor and wealth. My brother, you cannot be happy and at ease in your great palace. You will be miserable. May God forbid. Then he hangs himself from a lamp in the palace. A palace cannot make you happy. Submission to God will make you happy. Submission is the greatest luxury. Once you have submission, all your sufferings cease. Because human beings are weak. Someone wants to hold a banquet but many problems arise in his head; has such and such come? Are the plates in the right place? Is the table set right? Is the porcelain a good brand? He becomes totally confused. He suffers terribly. He suffers over everything because God has taken away his submission. Did they enjoy it? What do they think of me? Are the backbiting? He worries about all that. Look at the suffering because of a banquet. There is none of that when you have submission. One will come and go in a state of happiness. I am giving very minor examples. There is no end to them.

He develops a mole on his hand and thinks he has cancer. He hears a wheezing in his lungs and thinks he will die. There is no end to his worries. Submission is the greatest comfort. God has created it as a blessing.

They say that God wants things from us. God wants us to be happy. God tells you to pray because you will be happy when you pray, or when you make the required purification prior to prayer (ablution). You will be happy when you submit to Him. You will be happy when you remember God and when you read the Qur’an. Because you are a weak creature. God created you in such a way as to need these. You will suffocate if you do not live by these things. These things are blessings, life belts that save you from drowning. The commandments in the Qur’an are all life belts. Otherwise one will drown. Life will drown one. One is already living in the water. But one lives without drowning in it because there are these blessings. One will drown without them, without these blessings. One will sink to the bottom. 

All people are like people of Noah. "They said, ‘We have put our trust in God. Our Lord, Do not make us a target for this wrongdoing people, and rescue us, by Your mercy, from this unbelievers’!”

In other words, they say, do not test us with this wickedness, O Lord. Numerological calculation value [abjad] value gives 2018. So believers will be freed from this suffering in 2018, insha’Allah.

Without germination marks the abjad value is 2018. With them it is 2021. These are very important dates. Look, very clear dates are given in the Qur’an. God has given a great sign, masha’Allah.

"We revealed to Moses and his brother: ‘Settle your people in houses in Egypt and make your houses places of worship."

So what must a Muslim do? He must prepare his home as a place of preaching. God tells them to make their homes places of preaching and worship.

"and establish prayer…” Do it right. Do it sincerely. Prayer is a very easy observance. Some fanatics insist you should do a certain position with your toe when you pray, and do that with your leg and separate your feet by this exact distance. They produce all these details, so people end up saying they cannot pray at all. They write books of 370 pages full of details about purifying oneself. Since people cannot implement 370 pages they stop praying entirely. This is a trick of satan’s. It is easy to abide by the faith. What does Almighty God say?  "He has selected you and not placed any constraint upon you in the religion – the religion of your forefather Abraham." If you write a book of 370 pages, how can it be easy. Fanatics imagine that details are a sign of faithfulness (takwa). Then you drown in what you assume to be faithful. Drowning in details is a disaster described in the Qur’an.

"Moses said, ‘Our Lord, You have given Pharaoh and his ruling circle finery and wealth in the life of this world,"

He says You have given wealth to the system of the antichrist. 

"Our Lord, so that they may be misguided from Your Way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they do not believe until they see the painful punishment’.”

The two important things, says Almighty God, are to obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts. He says they will not believe until they see the painful punishment. They believe when they see that, and that is when the test is over. So one must not depict prayer as hard and make satan’s work easier. Millions of people have turned away from religion since prayer and purification [ablution] are misrepresented as very difficult. They have turned millions of people away from the faith and ruined them.

Technology is a mercy from Allah. The Unknown Genius Raised by the Ottoman Empire, Nikola Tesla

When progress in all areas of science and technology is placed at the disposal of man, life becomes easier for people all over the world. There is a very important fact behind all this progress: technology is an example of Almighty Allah’s mercy on human beings, and all the scientists who appear to be the source of this progress are in fact merely instruments in these advances. Allah bestows knowledge on whom He wishes, when He wishes. Contrary to what most people think, technological progress does not run parallel to the passage of time.

Let us consider some of  the technological advances of the 20th Century; alternative current, the electric engine, radio, television, the development of mass  communications, radar, sonar, cable-free energy, remote controls, thermodynamic engines, hydroelectric power plants, the arc lamp, the steam engine, lightning conductors, frequency measurement, speedometers, the Tesla coil, magnetic resonance, transformers, satellite communication technology, the neon lamp, fluorescent light, X-rays, the microwave. Amazingly enough, these discoveries belong to a single scientist. This genius, known to many as “the architect of the 20th Century,” is Nikola Tesla, a scientist with more than 700 patents to his name.

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856, in a village in Serbia, then part of the Ottoman Empire. After attending school there, he studied mechanics and electrics at the University of Prague. His illiterate mother was known in the town they lived in for developing various labor-saving inventions in her own right. Tesla’s father was a priest, and young Nikola  received an intensive religious education at home until graduating from high school.

TESLA’s discoveries were all inspired by Allah.

In his memoirs, Nikola Tesla describes how an image suddenly appeared before his eyes as he wandered around with a classmate through a park in Budapest. That image was of an electric engine. Tesla described that moment as “so real it was as if I could have touched it with my hands.” As he described in his autobiography, the technical details of the engine came into his mind at the same time as its appearance. Tesla immediately began making sketches in the sand, using a twig, in order not to forget. He had discovered a revolving magnetic field that sparked a revolution in the electricity industry. Tesla’s later discoveries were also inspired in him in the same way. Indeed, Tesla believed that science could not advance in any other way, and described his way of invention without experimentation as follows in an interview:

“If someone seeks to build a vehicle, the design of which is still in the raw stage, by carrying out experiments, his mind will become caught up in the details of the vehicle. This person’s concentration on the development and restructuring of the vehicle will decline, and he will lose the power to see the basic principles.”

Nikola Tesla, inventor of just about all the technological products in use today, stated at every opportunity that this intellectual prowess was not his but was bestowed on him by Allah.

“Our mental prowess comes from Allah, the Divine Force. When we concentrate our minds on this fact we become compatible with that force...

This sphere of interest of mine is definitely not a chance one. I am absolutely convinced it was bestowed on me by a Divine Power...

Contrary to what is generally thought, we have no free will in terms of thought...”

While still at high school, Tesla decided to devote the greater part of his life to activities that would benefit mankind. When his uncle, who had visited the USA many times, spoke to him about the Niagara Falls, he dreamed of establishing the world’s first hydroelectric power plant there, saying, “Water falling from such altitude can certainly be converted into a usable form of energy. Why is nobody trying to obtain electricity from that falling water?” He eventually made many natural energy sources useful to mankind. Since  Tesla’s ideas were so far ahead of their time, he often encountered resistance when it came to putting his inventions into practice. When he first introduced the world to alternating  current, now commonly used across the world, his former partner Thomas Edison tried everything  in his power to bury the idea by turning   public opinion against it. This time, which has come to be known as “The War of the Currents,” came to an end when Tesla illuminated the 1893 Chicago World Fair at a very lost cost using alternating  current alone.

The inventions produced by this genius, known for his tasteful manner of dress  and fastidiousness, were almost all greeted with suspicion, due to their being so far ahead of their time. And a good deal of prejudice prevented their being implemented for long periods of time. It is Allah Who creates technology, and He inspired this knowledge in the people He chooses at the time of His choosing. We have already seen how  Tesla’s famous cable-free energy transmission was employed in ancient Egypt. But the evidence for the technology employed in ancient Egypt goes much further than that. Electricity was widely used, especially on the Giza Plateau. Cable-free electricity, lighting, gold and silver plating, the production of the mono-atomic gold known as “manna,” generators and many other technologies all came to life in Egypt thousands of years ago.

The snake equates to energy and an invisible power, not just in Egyptian but in many ancient civilizations. In ancient China a snake with the head of a dragon stands for an invisible force, electricity. In Hebrew, the same word stands for the snake and also for copper, the commonly used material in electric  technology. Here you can see an image of a snake inside a bulb attached to a cable. This is an example of an exact representation of a modern arc lamp. The lighting used in Egypt was not limited to arc lamps. What you are seeing on the screen is an almost exact representation of modern light bulbs. Almost all forms of lighting technology were widely used in ancient Egyptian civilization, which dates back some 5,000 years, for the particular use of Pharaoh and his circle. The Egyptians had discovered various ways of obtaining energy that are still applicable today. We have already seen in some detail how the Great Pyramid served as a piezoelectric  plant. But what other means did the ancient Egyptians employ to obtain electricity?

What you are now seeing on the screen is a Baghdad battery. There is a copper tube inside this simple earthenware jar, the mouth of which has been stopped up with bitumen. An iron rod inside this tube, closed at the bottom with a copper disk, is held in place by the bitumen at the top. The rod is in such a position as to hang suspended inside the tube, but without touching the insides at any point. When the jar is filled with an electrolyte, the result is a current-manufacturing battery. This is the phenomenon known as electrochemical reaction, and is no different to the functioning of modern-day batteries. The Baghdad battery was used as a mobile energy source in ancient Egypt.

What you are now seeing on the screen is the “Djed pillar.” Let us now look at this shape in greater detail. The Djed pillar is frequently depicted alongside batteries and objects representing energy. In other words, the Djed pillar is also involved in depictions involving electricity. This object, frequently used in ancient Egyptian and various nearby  African civilizations, is the first example of the modern battery. Alessandro Volta is regarded as having made the first battery in 1800 by placing layers of copper, zinc and an electrolyte on top of one another four times over. If you place a copper plate, an electrolyte plate and a zinc plate on top of one another four times, what you get is identical to the  Djed pillar. Present-day depictions of a direct current are again identical to this pillar. Batteries manufacturing energy in exactly the same way were produced in ancient Egypt, thousands of years before Volta’s first battery and were also employed as mobile energy sources.

The system depicted in the hand of the person shown in the hieroglyphic on the screen is a leyden jar. The leyden jar, the first example of modern-day capacitors, and discovered in the 18th Century by E.G. von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek, was a bottle half filled with fluid such as water or mercury and containing a metal rod. The leyden jar was used to store static electricity, and was also used in ancient Egyptian civilization.

Egyptologists made a new discovery on the Sinai Peninsula in 1904 and encountered a temple at an altitude of 2070 meters here. Inside a chamber in part of the temple, which is  carved into a mountain, they came across a powder whose use they were unable to determine. Subsequent investigations showed that this was the mono-atomic gold known as “manna.”

Manna is a mono-atomic white powder produced by various complex chemical processes, including electricity, by burning gold in a specific way. This white powder is made up of high-spun gold and platinum group metals, and is not a new discovery. Manna was known asshemanna in ancient Mesopotamia, and is described as “white bread” in Exodus in the Old Testament. Manna was used in the treatment of various diseases and to increase mental capacity and perceptions, and was also used in ancient Egyptian civilization by Pharaoh and his court. Manna is known to have been consumed together with bread and is depicted as the triangular prism in the reliefs now showing on the screen.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh) also knew how to manufacture manna

It is a known fact that during his time in Egypt, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was trained in all the knowledge of ancient Egypt in his capacity as crown prince. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) knew almost everything that a chief priest might know, and was also taught how to produce manna, or mono-atomic gold. Allah reveals in the Qur’an that when the Prophet Moses (pbuh) fled Egypt with the people of Israel, they consumed “manna” in the desert. This is the manna we are discussing here. One of the events described by Allah in the Qur’an, regarding when the Prophet Moses (pbuh) returned from Mount Sinai, is the way that the Israelites were misled into making a calf of gold. The Qur’anic description of how the Prophet Moses (pbuh) burned the calf to ashes and cast them into the sea is actually a description of how he obtained manna from that golden statue. No matter how much you heat gold, it never turns to ash. Heated gold melts and changes shape, but, apart from the stages involved in making manna, it can never turn into ash. The ash into which the gold here turned into is, in fact, mono-atomic gold.

What else was manna used for in Egypt?

We have already considered how the Ark of the Covenant was found inside an empty chamber, known as the Royal Chamber, inside the Great Pyramid, and how the Prophet Moses (pbuh) took the Ark with him on leaving Egypt, and how Giza’s source of thermal energy thus became inoperative. The fact that this gold-leafed chest contained manna made it a super conductor because high energy mono-atomic particles are super conductors. In other words, manna was also used for energy in ancient Egypt.

Egypt was not the only civilization in the ancient world to possess advanced technology. Traces of a civilization that has also used technology since  ancient times can also be seen in India. The Ashoka pillar you are seeing on the screen is a column made from a single piece of iron, 7 meters high and weighing 6 tons. This iron pillar dates back 1,600 years. Because it is covered with a protective coating, it does not rust and has survived down to the present day. One can only dream of an equivalent iron column not rusting or decaying in the monsoons in India, with its strong winds and high humidity. Techniques of working iron and protecting it against rust only began being developed after the 5th Century. But this does not apply to the Ashoka pillar. It is one of the proofs that a civilization that existed in India thousands of years ago possessed a profound knowledge of metallurgy.

The Antikythera Mechanism:

In 1902, sponge divers discovered a peculiar mechanism in the ruins of a sunken Roman ship off the cost of the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea. This particular  ship had sunk in 87 BC. That mechanism was the first example of an analogue computer. In 2010, scientists made an exact copy to see just how it worked. The fact that this analogue computer was used thousands of years ago to calculate historic and astronomical data at the same time is of course totally amazing.

Civilization, technology and science are great blessings from Allah. All progress takes place through revelation from Allah. Allah has inspired societies with the technology He wished at the time He desired, and has elevated these societies to an advanced state of civilization. The fact that technology in use today was also employed thousands of years ago is of course one of the most obvious proofs of this. Contrary to what evolutionists maintain, civilization has never followed an evolutionary course from the simple to the more advanced. Advanced and undeveloped civilizations have always co-existed on Earth.
