Owner of the Elephants

OWNERS OF THE ELEPHANTS

The elephant symbolizes the imperialistic British Empire. The elephant has always been an important symbol of the British deep state and was extensively used in stamps of the colonies to represent the British monarchy.

Adnan Oktar - 6 Ekim 2015. THERE ARE SIGNS IN SURAT AL-FIL THAT THE PERSECUTION EXERTED BY THE OWNERS OF THE ELEPHANTS, THAT IS, THE BRITISH DEEP STATE, OVER THE WORLD WILL BE INTELLECTUALLY DEFEATED IN THE YEAR 2019

Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant? (Surat al-Fil, 1) Alam tara kaifa fa'ala rabbuka bi ashaabil feel. 71 + 600 + 110 + 180 + 222 + 135 + 120 Germination marks included - 1440 / 2019

Adnan Oktar - 20 Kasım 2014. 2019-2021 are the years the system of the antichrist will withdraw and collapse. But the years in between are the years of disaster. I have told the Freemasons as well, I have told them that this bloodshed would not stop, that it will continue. I would have said so if it were to stop but it will come to an end after a while. People will have to endure this, not by getting sad but by submitting themselves to God.

Adnan Oktar - According to the signs in the hadiths and verses of he Qur’an, the year 2019 will be a very active year. In 2022, there will be a state of peace beginning. After that the golden age will come by God’s leave.

Adnan Oktar - The years 79, 89, 99, 2009 and 2019 are important. 2019 is the year of relief. Of course, it is also the year of troubles and excitement but that is the end. It is the surrendering date of the system of the Mahdi. The lifespan of the system of the Mahdi is 40 years.

===============

THE ELEPHANT IS ONE OF THE SYMBOLS THE BRITISH DEEP STATE USES. THEY USED ELEPHANTS IN THE MASSACRES THEY CARRIED OUT DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

The British used elephants during the Second World War, just like the army of Abraha, they used them against Muslims.

In the name of God, All-Merciful, Most-Merciful.  I seek refuge in God from the satan: "Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant? Did He not bring all their schemes to nothing?” [Surat Al-Fil, 1-2]

The Companions of the Elephant currently signifies the British Deep State, whose symbol is an elephant. Look, "Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant?" The elephant is one of the symbols of the British deep state. They widely used elephants against Muslims in the Second World War. They even used elephant symbols on the flags of Laos and Siam as a symbol of the British Deep State because those places were under British rule at the time.  "Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the Elephant? Did He not bring all their schemes to nothing?” In other words, didn't God ruin the schemes of the British deep state? "Unleashing upon them flock after flock of birds (common swifts)." [Surat Al-Fil, 3] Common swift; now we can think of them as angels and jinni. "Bombarding them with stones of hard-baked clay;" [Surat Al-Fil, 4] "Making them like stripped wheat-stalks eaten bare."  [Surat Al-Fil, 5] In other words, they are drained and fade away like stripped wheat-stalks.

AN ELEPHANT IS USED AS A SYMBOL IN THE MASNAVI AS WELL. THE BRITISH DEEP STATE USES THIS SYMBOL AS A WAY OF SAYING "WE ARE EVERYWHERE BUT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE"

The British Deep State uses these symbols extensively. You can also find the elephant symbol in Masnavi; an elephant symbol is depicted there. It is depicted as an elephant moving in the dark as humans couldn't notice it. They bring the elephant into a barn, someone touches the elephant's ear, someone to its leg but none of them realizes it is an elephant. One of them says "it is a table", others say different things but in the end people couldn't realize that it is an elephant. Just like how they also couldn't notice or find the British Deep State, isn't it? Even though the elephant is inside, because they only see its small parts and not the whole animal, they don't notice. There, it is explained metaphorically, but those who can, can still understand it. The British Deep State interprets it this way. "We are like an elephant, but you can't notice us. Even though we are in different places, some people take us for a table, some people a chair, and others completely different things, but in the end you can't see us." They have that mentality.

Mahdi (as) is the master of secret knowledge (Ilm al-Ledun)

ADNAN OKTAR: The Prophet (saas) says: "Know that Mahdi is the inheritor of all knowledge. He is knowledgeable in all fields of science." (Najm us Saqib, p.193) Of course by science, that is knowledge, it is not referred to scientific information that is usually memorized, or learnt knowledge. The term ‘science’ or ‘knowledge’ here is entirely different; that is the particular knowledge God inspires in the heart. Ilm Al-Ledun (Secret Knowledge) emerges as a strategy in safeguarding the believers against extraordinary phenomena. In fact, the reason the Surah al-Kahf is conveyed through secret knowledge is that Mahdi (as), too, will be the master of secret knowledge. Mahdi (as) acts only through the means of Ilm al-Ledun (secret knowledge). He couldn’t carry out his duty as the Mahdi without it. This is why it is impossible to understand Mahdi (as) by only looking at his appearance. Secret knowledge is the main reason among the reason of his ‘seventy curtains.’ Those curtains come about through secret knowledge.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated March 4th, 2017

Before You Regret

Before You Regret...

But as for those who do evil actions and then subsequently repent and have faith, in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Qur’an, 7:153)

Since those who still live by the moral values of the Days of Ignorance do not believe in destiny and the fact that God creates everything for good, they fail to submit to God and desperately try to forget the mistakes they have made yet they fail to do so. Under the influence of the mistakes they have done, they wallow in a troubled state of mind with the guilt and frustration of those mistakes for all their lives.

The life of this world is an important opportunity granted so that man can earn the perfect and eternal life of the Hereafter.

During the time they’ve been given in this world, every human being is offered the opportunity to repent and lead the rest of their lives in a way that would please God.

If it were the time to meet the angels of death right now, would a person who failed to do his duty as a servant of God in the life of this world be able to give an account of all the years he spent in this world?

God grants believers' every sincere wish

ADNAN OKTAR: I am speaking for myself when I say God granted me everything I wished from Him. In the Qur'an, God says, "Call on Me and I will answer you." This is true, it happens. This is truly astonishing. But most people do not anticipate the fact that there is such a system in place; they believe it would happen very quickly. For example, when people ask God, "O Lord, grant me wealth and prosperity, and I will spend them in Your name." When that is the case, God definitely grants them their wishes, making them unimaginably wealthy. But there is a detail here that should not be overlooked; God grants them their wishes and bestow wealth and prosperity upon them if they are sincere when they say, "O Lord, I will spend my wealth in Your name." If they attempt to spend the wealth God has granted them for their own pleasure, God takes away their wealth by making them spend it on myriad troubles He plagues them with.

Of course, one should not wish unreasonable things from God. He grants every request that is within reason. I cannot think of instances where I made a reasonable request to God and He left my wish unanswered; He grants every reasonable wish. Christians place utmost importance on prayer as they are well-aware of this system for quite a long time.  Among the believers, Christians are the ones who are most aware of this system. Evangelists, in particular, are quite aware of it. Protestants consider prayer vital, hence they pray day and night. And they are right to do so. For some Muslims, prayer is usually a formality and sometimes it is accepted and sometimes not. This is a misconception; every sincere wish is granted. This is not true. Every prayer comes true if it is in the name of God. If you sincerely ask for the reign of Islam to be established, it comes true as well. God says in the Torah; "I will establish the reign of Islam over the world even if only 11 people believes," 11 people. But it has to be a deeply sincere and heartfelt wish. When that is the case, God even establishes the reign of Islam for the sake of a handful of sincere believers.

There are no rules about how to read the Quran; the Quran is a completion of a Muslim's life

There are no rules about how to read the Quran; the Quran is a completion of a Muslim's life:

"One is not supposed to read the Quran wearing short pants, but your students do so," writes Sezer Gurbuz. One should not read the Quran without performing ablution. One should be sitting on their knees to read the Quran. There should not be any music when one reads it. No music should come from outside. So, as it is difficult to fulfill these obligations, what do you do?

Adnan Oktar: You put the Quran inside a cover it with a nice veil and put it on the wall. You dust it every two months. That's it. But when you can read the Quran wearing short-pants or without ablution, it will become your bosom friend. You will embrace it and it will become a part of you, your life. The Quran loves you with or without ablution, with or without shorts, as long as you always keep it by your side. Read it day and night. Put it under your pillow when you go to sleep. Do not leave it ever. For the sake of respecting the Quran, you alienate yourself from the Quran, let alone respecting it. Some people put it on the wall and some goes even further and say, "I do not sit in a room where there is Quran" or "I should not enter where there is Quran" they say. In that case, the only solution left is to get the Quran out of your house. Because when they take the Quran out of their house, they feel relieved. They say, "I do not lie down in a room where there is Quran.

The life is not lived where there is the Quran," they say. It can be lived. You can play music or stretch your legs and lie down around the Quran. You can read the Quran while you are lying down on your bed; there is nothing wrong with it. You can read it while wearing shorts or undershirt. This is the SCHEME OF SATAN TO ALIENATE PEOPLE FROM THE QURAN. The Quran is your life so you should keep it by your side in all parts of your life, be it in your car, under your pillow, or even when you visit the market. It should be with you wherever you go. Do not be afraid, there is nothing wrong with it. The Quran loves you. But by doing so, you will only distance yourself from the Quran. Do not fall in to this trap.

They play a similar game on women as well. They say, "Do not touch the Quran during your period. And do not go to the mosque. Do not perform prayers. Do not remember God." This way, you spend the majority of your life AWAY FROM THE QURAN. In other words, you take away the one third of your life. And with what is left of it you say, "Hell will swarm with women. The 99% of those in hell will be women." You say, "Satan is the companion of the women." What is your problem with women? You do everything you can to ALIENATE THEM FROM RELIGION. You call them "half-wits." You call them "inhuman." You call them "Semi-human." You say "Their words are invalid." You say ,"Do the opposite of what women tell you." What is this hatred? What kind of mentality is this? Even if you do not do this out of hatred, you are still on the wrong path. You are on a horrible path. They are oblivious of their actions or the damage their actions cause".

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated August 8th, 2016

At nights, the hypocrites go into a trance in order to communicate with satan

ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites are not the kind of creatures every believer can cope with. These creatures are utterly diabolical and subtly evil. Even when they claim they give up their hypocritical ways, they do not. They might claim they are reformed, but they strike harder than before. They are quite treacherous, entirely dishonest and ignoble. They are like a tuberculosis virus amidst the Muslims.

Let’s listen to what you will say about the hypocrites. Oktar, you go first.

OKTAR BABUNA: The egoism of the hypocrites is similar to that of satan, it is like an affliction spreading to the whole body. And as in Pharaoh and Nimrod, when egoism has spread to their whole body, they become completely egocentric. This never regresses, but gradually progresses, and ultimately, leaving their bodies completely exposed to the influence of satan.

CAN DAĞTEKİN: As you have said before, hypocrites are like chameleons in their ability to adapt to every environment.

ADNAN OKTAR: Indeed, they can adapt to every environment, every situation. For example, when they notice that hypocrites are in a tight situation, they immediately try to look like a Muslim. Hypocrites carry out their activities especially at night. They can get in touch with satan at night; night is when they go into trance and their evil is at its highest. They do not exercise their hypocrisy during daytime, they do so at night. Such is the wisdom of God; just like bats that go out to feed on blood, the hypocrites come out at night. Hypocrites are deviants in that regard. As they are alone at night, they immediately engage in perverted activities.

GÖKALP BARLAN: Hypocrites admire their own intelligence. God informs us about the attitude of the hypocrites in the Quran saying, "When they are told, ‘Have faith in the way that the people have faith,’they say, ‘What! Are we to have faith in the way that fools have faith?"

ENDER DABAN: The true intention of the hypocrites is to harm the Muslims. They despise everything that is to the benefit of the Muslims. They only take pleasure in things that are to the detriment of the Muslims, thus, they constantly strive against Muslims.

ERDEM ERTUZUN: When they leave the believers, they never say, "We have no faith."On the contrary, they claim they are more pious than the believers. In the verse of the Quran, I seek refuge in God from satan, God informs "When they are told, ‘Do not cause corruption on the earth,’ they say, ‘We are only putting things right.’" (Surah al-Baqara, 11)

ALİ YÜCEL: They loathe being in places where God's name is mentioned. A mention of the name of God discomforts them.

ADNAN OKTAR: Hypocrites despise mentioning God. They always seek the worldly life. Hypocrites long for their past lives among disbelievers the most. They constantly reminisce about and contemplate upon those times. 

GÖKALP BARLAN: They always secretly communicate with the disbelievers providing them with intelligence regarding the Muslims. "Among you there are some who would have listened to them." (Surah at-Tawba, 47) says Almighty God in the Quran. 

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, well done.

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

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

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

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

From an Interview with Mr. Adnan Oktar on September 25th 2015, on A9 TV

Growing old is unavoidable

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
