What will be the greatest blessing in paradise?

From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s A9 TV interview on April 06th, 2015

Abu David narrates: ‘Because people of paradise go to paradise and the people of hell to hell, one caller will ask out: ‘Didn't God make our faces bright and clear? Didn't He make our scales heavy so that we wouldn't go to hell?’ At that moment, the curtain will be opened and they will look at God. I swear in the name of God, that God hasn't given anything to them that is more pleasing and delightful than looking at God.’ They will see God’s manifestation and that will be the thing they love the most.

One narrative from Abu Musa al-Ashari is as follows: ‘He, said during the Basra speech: ‘God had the residents of Paradise asked: ‘Did God keep His promises to you? They looked at their ornaments, ’ What are the ornaments? Necklaces, bracelets, everything. ‘clothes,’ Why aren’t they surprised about the clothes? They are surprised that there will be yachts, but not surprised at the clothes. Clothes are also produced in factories. The clothes in Paradise will be like the ones in the world. It will not be very different. But they will be similar. But the fabric quality will be different. It won’t crease; it will be very bright, very beautiful colored. But in general sense, it will be similar to the clothing items in this world. ‘Fruits, beautiful wives’, the ladies, ‘and the rivers’. But the rivers will not be little. We are sitting above a strait here, right. It is a sea, but [looks like] a river. Where are we now?  We are situated above. God explains that in Paradise ‘they will be in high mansions, with rivers flowing underneath them’. Big, sea like rivers. But calm, beautiful and pleasing. ‘Then they will say: God certainly kept His promise to us’. Angel will ask them three times, ‘Did God keep your promise to you?. And when they see that, the promise was fulfilled completely, they will say ‘yes’. 

Abdullah ibn Masud narrates: ‘We were with the Messenger of God (pbuh). During the Night of Qadr, he looked at the moon and said: ‘You will see your Lord clearly just like you see the moon now and you will have no doubts in seeing Him.’ He says ‘You will see God’. ‘You will not have to push each other to catch a glimpse, you will see Him very easily.’ You will see His manifestation very easily. “When Almighty God allows His manifestation to be visible by lifting the veil in front of His servants’ eyes, all the rivers will flow with more joy and zeal, the trees will sway and make sounds.’ The trees will dance with joy. All of them are conscious. “All the mansions will light up with flames.” Everything will light up, everything will sort of come to life, get excited. “The fountains will flow faster”, to emphasize the joy. “Sweet smells will be carried across the mansions and the courtyards”. When God’s manifestation is seen. “Sweet smelling misk and kafoor will be everywhere. Birds will chirp’, the birds of Heaven. ‘Houris will radiate with their beauty.’ When God’s manifestation is seen, in the Hereafter.

Almighty God says ‘In Paradise I will create everything your hearts desire.’

Pleasant Conversations with Mr. Adnan Oktar (April 6th, 2015; 24:00)

... And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally. [Surat Az-Zukhruf (The Ornaments of Gold) 43:71]

ADNAN OKTAR: God says ‘Anything you want’ and some people cannot understand it. Whatever your culture, your tastes, your knowledge would entail. For instance, some like car races, others yacht races, some like swimming, some like spending time with women, some painting. For example, if you want to paint pictures, you’ll be able to do it perfectly there, and very quickly. Some like to play instruments, and they’ll do it flawlessly. There will be no need for training or practicing.

Many people ask these questions one by one, for example ‘Are there computers in Paradise?’ If you like that [computers], based on your culture, your knowledge, it will be created there immediately, on the spot, and in the most perfect way. It’s only a matter of you wanting it or not. Whatever you want, it will be created in the most perfect manner. For instance, you might be liking little cars, and there it will be created like that. Or you might be favoring big muscle cars, and you will have that. God says that ‘It all depends on what you want’. ‘Depends on you thinking about it, your culture, your desires, whatever you like.’

BÜLENT SEZGİN: The degree of taking pleasure in Paradise, does it depend on the degree of faith, Mr. Adnan?

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. Everyone will enjoy depending on his or her degree of faith.

ADNAN OKTAR: Some people don't understand it, although we explain it. Almighty God says ‘I will create everything your hearts desire.’  They want me to list one by one. For example, we have air conditioners in this world. If you like it, it will be created in Paradise. It depends on your culture, on your wanting it. Whatever you like, it will be created. For example if you like double-breasted jackets, it will be created. If another person rather has another type of suit, he will be given that. They want all the gifts to be enumerated one by one. Musical instruments, whatever you want. They ask ‘Will there be guitars, too?’ Of course, and that’s the most primitive one (guitars in this world).  A clarinet, another very primitive instrument. God creates the most perfect one and God says ‘It depends on your wishes and liking’.

I seek refugee in God from the accursed Satan. “and they will have there all that their hearts desire and their eyes find delight in. You will remain in it timelessly, for ever.” (Surat at-Zukhruf, 71). Is there any restriction in this verse? Infinite. Very clear. What does “there is everything” mean? It means there is no limit to it. Anything you can picture and “you will remain in it timelessly, forever”, until forever. (Surat at-Zukhruf, 71)

Ruby Cars of heaven which make you fly

Pleasant Conversations with Mr. Adnan Oktar (April 6^th, 2015; 24:00)

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ ۖ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ ۖ وَأَنتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

Circulated among them will be plates and vessels of gold. And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally. [Surat Az-Zukhruf (The Ornaments of Gold) 43:71]

ADNAN OKTAR: God says in the 71^st verse of Surah az- Zukhruf, I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan, ‘they will have there all that their hearts desire and their eyes find delight in.’ God doesn’t say that ‘there are only some things’. What does ‘all that their hearts desire’ mean? Everything that the human mind, the human brain can imagine. ‘You will remain there, timelessly, forever’. How long? Forever. The 31^stverse of Surat Fussilat, I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan,  “You will have there everything you demand.” Almighty God could have said ‘certain things will be yours’. But God says ‘all that your hearts desire’. It depends on one’s imagination, one's comprehension. Whatever you want. Some of the companions, who had similar thoughts as these people, they were curious. Buraidah narrates: ‘O Messenger of God, are there horses in Paradise?". What would today’s people ask? Are there yachts? Are there racing cars? But, back in those days, horses were interesting and they were asking about horses. What did Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) say as an answer? “If God admits you into Paradise, you will not wish to be carried, on a horse of rubies that will fly with you wherever you want in Paradise except that you will do so…’ see, it is made of ruby, not flesh and bones, ‘that will fly with you wherever you want in Paradise except that you will do so’. See, it is both very fast, and it is a vehicle made of ruby. Ruby. For example, many sports cars today are red, right? They shine like rubies. What does Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) say? ‘Made of ruby’. Shines almost like a ruby. How does a [red] sports car look like from afar? Doesn't it shine like a ruby? [He says it is] made of ruby. [He says] ‘it will fly you’. Meaning, you will travel with an incredible speed and fly, too, if you want. After him, the people there got curious and they started asking ‘'O Messenger of God, are there camels in Paradise?' Camels were very interesting to them. But what is interesting to young people today? It could be yachts, racing cars. They think that those things are wonderful. Back in those days, [camels and horses] were wonderful to them. They ask, ‘are there camels in Paradise?’. ‘So he (pbuh) did not say what he said to his companion, rather, he (pbuh) said: 'If God admits you into Paradise, you will have in it whatever is desired by your soul and pleasing to your eye’. It means that anything you can imagine, anything you can picture, anything you like, anything that you would enjoy ‘that your eyes would find delight in’ in line with your tastes, your style, your customs, your culture, your knowledge. This was said only to make him comprehend, because obviously otherwise these questions would continue. One would ask about the camel, another would ask about, what would be in that time [they would consider desirable]? Maybe horse-carts, as you know, there would be races of horse carts back in those days. Maybe they would ask if there would be any of those in paradise. Since [the questions] wouldn't end, Prophet Mohammed explains it with a general explanation referring to the Qur'an and says “whatever you wish, you desire, you can picture, imagine, whatever your knowledge, your culture entail, you will find it there’. [Some people] got surprised when I said that there would be yachts in  Paradise. They say ‘How  can there be a yacht?’ Yacht is nothing to God. Here, in this world, as a part of your test, God is giving you this knowledge, and shows you the yacht. You think that yacht is so great, it is beyond reach. But if you saw the yachts in Paradise, you wouldn't like the ones in here at all. You would think that they are like ox carts. You would find it very primitive. The yachts in Paradise fly in the skies, dive underwater, sail the seas. And it will talk to you and do everything you ask. For example, when you ask it to take you to an island, it will take you there very fast. It will be driven by one of the ghilmans if you like, or if you want it, it will go there by itself, without any operator. Because, in Paradise, everything acts with the wisdom of God. Everything will be intelligent.

Or yachts, they put it on such a high pedestal. A yacht is a very ordinary thing for God. Like a nutshell, very ordinary. You are overrating it. And the yachts here, their engines are so loud, disturbing. The smell of fuel, and you have to protect yourself from water droplets all the time. Very uncomfortable. In Paradise, it will be like a feather [the smoothness of its move]. It won’t make a sound, very nice and fluid. And it will be enormous, not cramped and compact. It can fly if you want or submerge. There will be all sorts of food in it. You will just tell the food ‘come’ and it will come. And the boats of this world will look very primitive to you after that.

Many people ask these questions one by one, for example ‘Are there computers in Paradise?’ If you like that [computers], based on your culture, your knowledge, it will be created there immediately, on the spot, and in the most perfect way. It’s only a matter of you wanting it or not. Whatever you want, it will be created in the most perfect manner. For instance, you might be liking little cars, and there it will be created like that. Or you might be favoring big muscle cars, and you will have that. God says that ‘It all depends on what you want’. ‘Depends on you thinking about it, your culture, your desires, whatever you like.’

See, “the residents of Paradise visit each other on white camels that resemble rubies.” Ruby, think about the red rubies. In other words, red cars. But white, looking white due to their lights. He says “slim”. There is a mention of horses with slim waists that run very fast in Paradise. And camels too. “When Almighty God admits you to Paradise, if you wish to ride a horse’ in other words, if you wish to ride a fast vehicle, He will make you ride a ruby horse’, the most popular color for luxury, sports car today is red right? Sports cars are usually red and it is said that they will be made of ‘red rubies’. Ruby shines so beautifully, it glows. This explains it perfectly right? Rubies are  oval shaped. And these cars have an oval shape. And when you look from afar, they shine. “And that horse will fly you in Paradise wherever you want.” In other words you’ll travel incredibly fast. This is a perfect description, isn’t it? “Those in paradise” he says, “visit each other on these horses.” They visit each other. They host each other in feasts. There are entertainment venues where ladies, houris sing. Not one, or two, or a hundred. Paradise malls, they are countless. “When the Paradise residents enter Paradise, horses with wings made of ruby will come’. Isn’t this clearly a description of planes? A description of state-of-the-art, luxurious planes. And no need to be trained as pilots. The plane will never crash. There is no need for engines. That’s how great they are.

He says, ‘there is a tree in  Paradise, and horses with pearl saddles and emerald bridles will come from above and underneath it.’ So think about something, like a garage full of cars. And cars keep coming out of it. It looks like a tree, as a decoration. He says it so that people can comprehend, people can understand, so that their horizons are broadened.

BÜLENT SEZGİN: Mr. Oktar, can I show photos of modern sports cars as an example? 

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, it really looks like red rubies.

BÜLENT SEZGİN: It goes very fast. 

ADNAN OKTAR: He says “it will make a man fly”. These cars are usually made up of very nice, sophisticated material. They have wooden trimmings, with nice materials in other details. This is actually a reference to the perfection of their material. They think that the reference to bridle is literal. It refers to its control panel. But if you’d like, it could be a bridle too.

Prophets has interceded for many people

Prophets has interceded for many people (08.05.2014)

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.

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 world will turn into the Heaven

First God shows us troubles and evil thoroughly; later on He will show us pureness, superiority and beauty. At the moment the world is a living hell. A little later, the world will turn into the Heaven.

(A9 TV; May 2nd, 2014)

Hereafter would be a complete surprise for Muslims

New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (12 April 2014)

Almighty God gives us some details about the Hereafter but He prepared the Hereafter in a way that would be a complete surprise for Muslims.  

God says, “Every self will come together with a driver and a witness.” [Surah Qaf; 21]   Clearly there is a vehicle; it might be a small vehicle or a big beautiful vehicle and there are hosts on both sides of Muslims and there is a light for them both in front of them and beside them. God knows the truth this is a kind of vehicle; that is because God mentions a vehicle that operates on its own in the Qur’an. There is a vehicle that goes on its own, there are hosts inside that vehicle and there are headlights that enlightens the darkness and it moves forward. God says that they will come with those vehicles. Muslims definitely go to Heaven if they find themselves in such a condition. In the Qur’an, God says that they strongly hope for the Heaven. We might come across vehicles similar to those we have in this world or more advanced ones. We might find ultra-modern cities there; that is because God shows that to us, God shows them fruits and they say, “We’ve seen similar ones before.” That is the same with the houses of Heaven; we would say that we’ve seen similar ones before but the quality will be incomparable. There is an amazing trial going on in this world. 

God has adorned the whole universe

God has adorned the whole universe (28.03.2014)

God has adorned the whole universe

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March  28th, 2014

God adorns flowers, and we like them. He adorns insects, and we like them. He adorns babies, and we like them. He adorns human beings, and we like them, masha’Allah. I looked at those thorns as I came in from the garden. They are getting ready to bloom. They have opened in the form of three buds. When fully open they are read and exquisite. Their leaves are bright. But toward the end of summer they fade of course. Almighty God creates them to be beautiful, but they are all mortal and finite.

Violets are also lovely when they first bloom. One cannot bear to cut them. But then they fade and die. However, there is no death in paradise. Neither flowers die in paradise, nor fruits, nor leaves. When fruits are plucked they still remain just where they were. You pick one and it is replaced right away in the same place. One cannot bear to pick them. For example there was a lemon tree in the garden, full of lemons. For a long time we never picked them. Lemon trees have their own life span, of course, and we wanted to pick them. Go and pick those lemons, I said. But of course that troubles the heart. One will not be able to see lemons on those branches for a long time. But that is not the case in paradise. You pick them and they regrow instantaneously, masha’Allah. All beauties belong to our Lord, praise be to God.

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness (05.04.2014)

Muslims prefer beauty, but also seek wisdom in ugliness

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March  05th, 2014

(Viewer’s letter) I heard you say, "All beauty and blessings belong to God. All praise is for the name of God.” Do ugly things not belong to God, too? 

What right have we to call what God has created beautiful or ugly? Not at all. God teaches us the concepts of beauty and ugliness in the Qur’an. God tells us to avoid ugliness. He tells us to avoid filth. The concept of beauty is stressed in hundreds of places in the Qur’an. We cannot develop our own ideas against the Qur’an. But God’s beauty is also present in what is ugly. A hyena is ugly, but one feels sorry for it. Its ugliness is comical. Or there may be an ugly person, but you feel affection and compassion for them. You love that person many times more because of their moral virtues than you do someone with an attractive face but no moral values. There are many people who are ugly but morally beautiful. And there are people who are attractive but who are arrogant proud, difficult and morally impaired. People will not like that attractive person. They like people who are good natured despite being ugly. Our view is mistaken. 

Believers must see ugliness and beauty and prefer beauty, but look for the wisdom in ugliness. You can say a work of art is ugly when you examine it. Indeed, beauty emerges from the concepts of beauty and ugliness. Beauty emerges from that comparison. Beauty emerges when comparing someone we call beautiful to someone we call ugly. But there is no ugliness in paradise. Ugliness is created solely for the test in this world. Everything is beautiful in paradise. Tree, plants, children and foods are all lovely. But there are also ugly foods in this world, and ugly people. But human beings have the advantage of being able to convert ugliness into beauty through their moral values. They can become radiant and much-loved people. You see such people around you.

It is polytheism to grieve for someone who enters paradise

It is polytheism to grieve for someone who enters paradise (05.04.2014)

It is polytheism to grieve for someone who enters paradise

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated April  05th, 2014

(Response to a viewer) Serhat, you are looking at the matter wrongly right from the start. "In sending little Pamir off to paradise,” you say. If you are sending someone off to paradise, how can you grieve for them? Paradise is a place of joy and eternal happiness and delight. It is wrong to think of grief if you are sending a child off to a place where everything is as good as can be. That means ascribing equals to God. It means that one does not like what God has done. It means one thinks one knows better than Him. Hundreds of people die every day. Mourning people who die is challenging God. And that is polytheism. Mothers and fathers may weep out of emotion at what has happened, but not out of rebellion against God. That would mean abandoning the faith. Our Prophet (pbuh) wept when his son Abraham died. “You too, O the Messenger of God?” they said. “I am not weeping out of grief, but out of fervor,” he said. The fervor of faith. Because Abraham was very cute and sweet. He wept because of the love he felt for him, not out of grief.

People lose relatives every day. People close to us die, too. But if we were to declare a week’s mourning for all of them, the world would literally turn into hell. You would live and die in mourning. Not a day would pass without mourning someone. Go to the cemeteries and look. Hearses arrive every day. People are martyred in Syria and Afghanistan every day. Everyone thinks his own child is lovely. Everyone loves his own child. But to mourn them all would mean the whole world challenging God, may He forbid. That would be very ugly. A believer must always be full of joy, and content with whatever God commands.

Hazrat Mawlana told people to celebrate when he died. Seb-i Aruz, the Nuptial Night. That is why the dervishes whirl to the sound of flutes. (To the viewer) So you really must get rid of this polytheistic way of thinking. Mourning is a wrong way of thinking. I have now told you what would befit you. I hope you will now think right.

When Almighty God takes a child’s soul, He does it with goodness, for the best, and raises it into His Sight for the best. Where is the logic behind mourning? You do not weep when a child enters the world, so why weep when he leaves it? You did not end him into the world, and you did not take him from it. There is no point in weeping when he enters the world, or when he leaves it. He Who sent him will take him back into His Presence when He chooses. Since there is no question of Almighty God asking our opinion, or of us asking any questions, we must accept our Lord’s destiny and see the goodness in it.

Serhat asked, and I have replied. But people are often curious and ask about this. They generally believe they should mourn. Though they do so out of the best of intentions. Their uncle dies the following day and they believe they should mourn. Then a friend’s son dies and they think they should mourn for him. People are martyred in Afghanistan and they think they should mourn for them. Many people are confused about what to do. The idea of mourning is completely wrong. It is God Who sends us into this world, and God Who takes us into His Presence. We must surrender to destiny.

God creates both good and evil in this world; yet in paradise there is peace and tranquility

God creates both good and evil in this world; yet in paradise there is peace and tranquility (29.01.2014)

God creates both good and evil in this world; yet in paradise there is peace and tranquility

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated January  29th, 2014

Problems and troubles are part of God’s law. Since the antichrist and the Mahdi are created at the same moment. If there were only the Mahdi, there would be tranquility in this world and it [the system of the Mahdi] would not have any effect. Then he would not carry out the duties of the Mahdi. If there were only the antichrist, it would have no meaning in terms of trials [in this world]. His existence has no reason. God creates the two at the same time. [He creates] day and night; good and evil; negative and positive; this is the characteristic of the life of this world.

But in paradise there is only goodness, cleanliness, tranquility and peace. For example, there is no conflict or trouble in Paradise. When you get up one day, you don't come across a problem. Every day is peaceful. There is no sleep but if you want to, you can sleep. There is no tiredness in Paradise. You don't see incidents in the newspapers. There is complete peace and harmony. Of course there is music, fun and laughter but you wouldn't have any problems there.

But in this world, there are cannon balls, tank shells, blasters, planes, air bombings, human screams in the street; anything could happen, because this is a place of trial. Because of that it  has the qualities of both paradise and hell. The year 2014; the number 14 is two times seven. 2014 is a vital date, a very important one. 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, these are all vital dates. We will see this, insha’Allah, by God’s leave.

Remarks on verses from Surat al-Ma’ida (13.11.2013)

Remarks on verses from Surat al-Ma’ida 

From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s interview on A9 TV 13 November 2013

ADNAN OKTAR: Surat al-Ma’ida, verse 114; “‘Jesus son of Maryam said, ‘God, our Lord, send down a table to us out of heaven to be a feast for us, for the first and last of us, and as a Sign from You’.” Look, “for the first and last of us, and as a Sign from You.” As a miracle. “Provide for us! You are the Best of Providers!” All food is actually created as a miracle, but the need for free will is not done away with in the hereafter. And the need for free will is not done away with here, either. That table came down, and the believers ate at it. When they entered the room, they found a table all ready for them. They found a table sent down from the Presence of God. If a table comes down from the sky, so will angels and human beings. In other words, Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) will also come down. That sign appears in order to show how reasonable the coming of Jesus the Messiah is. He says, “Send down a table.” If a table comes down, so can a person, insha’Allah. “God said, ‘I will send it down to you but if anyone among you is unbeliever after that, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I will not inflict on anyone else in all the worlds’!”

 “I will send it down to you.” So the table has come down. The meaning of the verse is explicit. It came down as a miracle. “but if anyone among you is unbeliever after that, I will punish him with a punishment the like of which I will not inflict on anyone else in all the worlds’!” Who was unbeliever? Judas Iscariot. He betrayed Jesus the Messiah. So Almighty God will inflict a terrible punishment on him, as the verse says. “And when God says, ‘Jesus son of Maryam! Did you say to people, “Take me and my mother as gods besides God?”  In other words, did you tell people of belief in the Trinity? Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) says, “Glory be to You,” to Almighty God. “It is not for me to say what I have no right to say!” This is not something a Muslim could say, he means. He says he would never do that. “If I had said it, then You would have known it.” This would be known, it would be known in destiny. “You know what is in my self but I do not know what is in Your Self.”  In other words, he is saying, “O Lord, you are asking me even though You already know.” You are the Knower of all unseen things.” He is emphasizing the might and power of God. “You are the Knower of all unseen things,” says Jesus the Messiah (pbuh). “I said to them nothing but what You ordered me to say: ‘Worship God, my Lord and your Lord’.” The Gospel says the same thing. Look; “Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.” I was a witness against them as long as I remained among them, but when You took me back to You, You were the One watching over them. You are Witness of all things.” In other words, when you took me into Your Presence, You were the witness, the observer. “If You punish them, they are Your servants. If you forgive them, You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.” He is stressing the forgiving aspect of Almighty God. The verse is hinting that they will be forgiven, insha’Allah. When they see the truth and renounce their earlier ways they will be forgiven. “God will say, ‘This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere will benefit them’.” What comes from their telling the truth? It benefits them. They attain God’s approval, a lightness descends on them and their paradise is broadened. “They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever.” Look, were it not for the seas, the adornment of Istanbul, that adornment would largely vanish. Much of its natural beauty would be lost, in other words. That is why Almighty God says, “They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever and ever.” What is it that Muslims strive for? For God’s approval. What does God say? “God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him.” What does that mean? They are pleased with one another.  “The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs to God. He has power over all things.”

Nobody can stand up and say these things are his. According to the Qur’an, people can only be temporarily entrusted with things. “He has power over all things.” It is God Who grants the ability to speak and walk.

We must trust in the mercy of God, He Who teaches compassion and affection

We must trust in the mercy of God, He Who teaches compassion and affection (23.01.2014)

Hell or Heaven? by YongL

We must trust in the mercy of God, He Who teaches compassion and affection

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated January  23th, 2014

(Viewer’s letter) “I am a 16-year-old atheist. It seems wrong for God to burn non-Muslims. It seems wrong to burn a Christian because he is from a different part of the world. If God knows the future, He will know that Christians will not be Muslims. If God does not intervene in that, it means that He will not punish everyone for their own free will. Or everyone will eventually be Muslims.”

Everyone will be a Muslim in the time of the Mahdi insha’Allah.

What you are discussing is part of secret knowledge [ilm al-ladun] from God. Do you know what that means? You are now watching me on television. How far away is the TV from you? You will say, “2 or 2.5 meters away.” But I am actually in your brain. Look, that is secret knowledge from the Presence of God. Where will you see hell? In your brain. All right, hell does exist on the outside, but you will see the hell in your brain. Paradise does exist on the outside, but you will see the paradise in your brain.

You cannot know who will go to hell or not. God is not obliged to burn people. “I will burn them,” He says, but He may not. God has no such obligation. You cannot say, “Why are you not burning someone?” May God forbid. He may make you think He is burning someone whereas He really is not. You imagine you will not burn, but you may go to hell, may God forbid. One imagines he is one of the saved, but he may go to hell.

You must trust in the mercy, affection and mind of God. Because it is He Who creates your compassion and logic. It is God Who makes you ask this question. You did not ask it. God asked it. But you are unaware of it. God makes you ask it, and God makes me answer it. These are secret knowledge from the Presence of God. You see people burning in a film, but they are really burning in your brain. How do you know that people will burn? Why should God have any obligation? But He keeps His word. God says “I will burn him.” Does he burn? Yes. But does he burn in the literal sense or not? You must leave that to God. That is secret knowledge from the Presence of God.

He promises paradise, and believers see paradise. Believers also see hell. They come to the very edge of hell. Everyone falls to his knees to feel the awe of God. Then believers are told, “Come here.” There is a light in front of them and to the right. They are in a vehicle. Like a small car. God says there are drivers by their sides. That is a very significant expression. Exactly the same as today’s cars. He says there is a light to the front of them and to the right. That happens with cars, doesn’t it? And he says there are drivers by their sides. They are very comfortable. He says they have a strong hope. This is something unique to the believer. No unbeliever can enter such a vehicle. Unbelievers are left on the ground. “They have much hope,” says God. When the gates of paradise open, believers enter. “Salam alaykum. You are welcome.” “Peace be upon you.” Then paradise is closed off again and that is it. You are there for all eternity.

But hell is necessary. If one does not see hell, one cannot properly appreciate paradise. That is why Almighty God put Hazrat Adam (pbuh) in paradise first. Look, it is quite explicit, and you can see secret knowledge from the Presence of God here. Then He says He will take him out of there. People normally remain in paradise for all time, don’t they? He says He will send him out because he has failed to abide by the rules of paradise. In other words, “You did not keep your promise.” There is a threat here, too.

The people of paradise live in it according to its rules and traditions. There is still the fear of God in paradise. They apply the manners they have learned. There is no rebellion. They are terrified because they know this world. They have seen hell and they know this world. They do not want to return to this world or to go to hell. That is why they kiss the ground in paradise. Because it is a very fine and comfortable place. Can one ever tire of it? That is impossible because they see hell, they can see it on a screen whenever they want. They do not like this world, either. “Shall We send you back,” He asks. “No, no, no,” they reply. Nobody wants to come back to this world again. The idea of returning to this world is a torment for people who have seen paradise. It would be like saying, “I am going to take you to hell.” No Muslim wants to come back to this world.

Ask if our viewer has understood what I have been saying.

.....

There are degrees of secret knowledge from the Presence of God. If you want to learn more, that could harm your mind. This is enough for you.

It is God Who teaches us compassion. We do not know compassion. It is God Who teaches us the logic here. Our friend here is saying what God wants.
