Does the soul age?

ADNAN OKTAR: Let’s hear another question.

KARTAL GÖKTAN: Mr. Yusuf has a question.

VTR: Hello, I am Yusuf. I meet with many elderly people and I want to ask about how we should treat the elderly?

ADNAN OKTAR: There is no such thing as elderly. There are only people whose organs are not in their best physical condition. For example, they cannot run or lift weight well. Or they have difficulty speaking or hearing. Otherwise, there is no such thing as elderly. The soul does not have an age. It does not age at all. Soul is eternal, so why would it age? It lasts eons without aging. It is the body that ages. Young people, too, can be physically older than their actual age. For this reason, it would be more proper to ask how one should treat people with diminished physical functions. For example, if they walk too slowly to cross the street, we can escort them. Such people might be in their seventeen or seventies or eighties; it does not make any difference. Or they might have sight, hearing or perceptive impediments. This can be a teenager in his nineteen or a man in his nineties. And since we are relatively healthier then such people, we should help them as best as we can. Otherwise, the elderly do not enjoy a distinguished status; everyone deserves the same level of respect. We are obliged to treat people with the same level of respect and politeness, be they in their nineteen or nineties. What matters is whether they need our help or not.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated May 20th, 2017

The feeling of boredom is removed in the Hereafter

Adnan Oktar Says

A9 TV; July 18th, 2013

• The feeling of boredom is removed in the Hereafter. There is no such thing, no such feeling in the Hereafter. Muslims see the blessings of the Heaven for quadrillions of times but never get bored.
• There is a tendency to boredom in the human nature, in the human soul in proportion with that person's faith. However a Muslim would not be bored, would not feel weary of love, a Muslim would not feel weary of beauty and affection insha'Allah. For instance Muslims get bored from empty talks, from monotonic approaches. They search richness, I mean they want novelties, they want beauties.
• One can never be bored of love or affection; one can never be tired of the love of God. However the feeling of weariness, boredom exists in the human soul. Muslims are able to overcome this feeling with their faith. For that reason an ordinary man gets tired of his wife, from his beloved ones but a Muslim would not because of their faith. However in disbelief, weariness enwraps a person very easily. With the power of faith weariness is crashed. It can be crashed in proportion to that person's faith.
• One should approach God by praising, by giving glory to God. We should increase our thanks to God. When that is increased, the blessings bestowed upon one would increase as well. How does that work? God does that without making it felt. The more you send your thanks to God; the more the blessings bestowed upon you increases. All increase from aspects you do not know of, from aspects you cannot even think of.
• "Alhamdulillah" is one of the invocations God likes the most. For instance you have been bestowed a blessing and you say Alhamdulillah. There is a beauty in front of you; you say Alhamdulillah. You hear a nice word you say Alhamdulillah.

• It is not possible to clear away the damage caused by Darwinism through fikh [the canon law], a scientific and philosophical explanation is required for that.
• The most beautiful cure for the human soul is to feel trust and submission to Allah.
• Buying presents for a child is a very important beauty.
• Girls should be given priority everywhere, they should be protected very well. When they are happy, the world becomes tasty.
• Israel should approach the incidents with the maturity of the Torah and Palestine should approach with the dignity and nobility of the Qur'an.
• While advocating peace, it is not acceptable to use a language that would disrupt the peace. Peace has a special language; an annoying language, a bullying language would not work.
• The truce in between Israel and Palestine should be enforced mutually.
• People of Israel should pray loudly to Allah. They should ask Allah for the appearance of the King Messiah. The Rabbis should pray saying "O Lord, show us the King Messiah".
• Antichrist will shed blood and the King Messiah, that is the Mahdi (pbuh), will stop the bloodshed.
• The reason why unity could not be formed up until today is because this task is assigned to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
• With all these incidents, Allah aims to show the need for the system of the Messiah.
• Israel should take the methods of the King Messiah (pbuh), the methods of the Torah as basis.
• For the establishment of peace, everyone should avoid bullying each other.
• Israel should act in a way compliant with the spirit of peace in the Torah.
• If Israel, Egypt and Turkey unites, the region becomes a sea of peace.

A9 TV; November 15th, 2012

• What is needed is the Islamic Unity. It is to unite all Muslims. Israel will then attain that happiness awaited for the last 3,000 years, and peace, tranquility and security will be built in the whole region. Trade, art and science will all grow to their fullest extent. Democracy will be fully installed and the external threat will be totally eradicated. People will live a peaceful beautiful life in peace in love and brotherhood.
• What Israel should do is to constantly ask Allah for the Mahdi, ask Allah for the appearance of the King Messiah. What Palestine should do is to constantly ask Allah for the Mahdi (pbuh) and to strive for the Union of Islam.
• If the Palestinians were to approach Israel with peace and brotherhood, if they were to pray together with the Jews for the appearance of the Moschiah, for the coming of the Mahdi, if they were to turn this region into an abode of peace, then they will not be remain in the position of a captive. Those lands would also belong to the Palestinians anyway. There would be no need for those borders, for those walls. They would be tearing down all of them and live brotherly in peace and that would be very good. No one can ever be able to say anything to the Palestinians. No country could be against them.
• There is a blind fight, a blind combat in the conflicts of Israel and Palestine. This can disappear with a reasonable mind, with a reasonable logic. And that can only be the system of the Mahdi. It can only be possible through the rational of the system of the Mahdi.
• No unity will ever be formed among the Islamic world in the sense of a spiritual identity. A body can survive without a head. A headless body is a dead body. They try to do things using a body with a severed head. You cannot do anything with a spiritual identity. A spiritual leader is needed at the top of the Islamic world. And that is the Mohammad Mahdi (pbuh) that all Muslims will accept.
• The fights will increase, the incidents will increase. People will be left desperate. Allah will show people that Mahdi (pbuh) and the Jesus Messiah (pbuh) is the only solution. These two blessed individuals will appear -I do not say they will come as they have already come- they will appear and by the Will of Allah they will bring peace and safety, welfare, beauty and abundance to the world, insha'Allah.
• The system of the Mahdi is referred to very comprehensively in the Qur'an through implications. For instance the Surah al-Kahf refers to the system of the Mahdi from the beginning till the end. The Surah Joseph refers to the system of the Mahdi, the story of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) refers to the system of the Mahdi.
• It is not acceptable to say "Damn Israel". Israel is the name of a prophet. This way you would be insulting a Prophet may Allah forbid. It is satan that makes them say such things. It is not right to say such things. Israel is the name of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh). The name is referred to in the Qur'an. Instead of saying that, why don't they say; "Oh Lord give us Hazrat Mahdi, Oh Lord create the Unity of Islam"? Is not the Unity of Islam the fundamental solution?
• There is a code in the Qur'an. There is a sign in it. All verses of related with conquests refer to the times of Mahdi (pbuh). All the statements about the prevail of Islam refer to the times of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). And they exactly give the same date. That is really very surprising.
• A Muslim would of course want to be Mahdi, all Muslims should be wanting this. That is stated in the verse, I seek refuge in Allah from the satan; Muslims pray to Almighty Allah saying "make us leaders of the righteous." Muslims should want to be leaders and make good services. Yet of course I do not have any such claim to be the Mahdi.
• I swear that I will never claim to be the Mahdi. I will never ever claim to be Mahdi my entire life. I swear an oath on Allah.

A9 TV; November 14th, 2012

• Allah tells us to be quiet and to listen when the Qur'an is recited. So one should not speak in the mosque. One should not speak even in a whispering tone. The Mosques are not places to speak. When the Qur'an is recited, it should be listened to quietly. I see this almost in a great portion of all mosques. And that –people speaking in a high tone while the Qur'an is recited- is also sign of the Last Day and the portent of the appearance of Mahdi (pbuh).
• "Do not be despondent, Allah is with us." (Surat at-Tawba, 40) That means Muslims will live through very difficult times but they will not be despondent.
• The feeling of peace and tranquility in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is attained through the finding of the Casket of Sakinah, insha’Allah.
• Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be supported by the angels; by Gabriel, Michael and three thousand angels.
• "Those who pledge you their allegiance pledge allegiance to Allah" (Surat Al-Fath; 10) Companions pledged their allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (saas) and we will all pledge allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) insha'Allah. The abjad calculation of this verse gives the date 2025. The calculation gives only one date and it is 2025. That is a miracle. The abjad calculations of all the verses related with the End of Times and the world dominion gather around the same date. Masha'Allah.
• When Islam prevails in the world, will there be fear among people? No, there will not be. I mean there will be no poverty, no terror, no anarchy, you will not be crying, you will not be sad you would not be grieved.
• Allah tells us that if there is an attack against a Muslim, all the Muslims should form a union and stand out against that altogether as a whole. As a characteristic of a Muslim, Allah has deemed that an obligation upon Muslims. (Surat Ash-Shura, 39)

A9 TV; November 13th, 2012

• When Mahdi (pbuh) appears, people assume that bigot mindset, fanatic mindset would appear a hundred times harsher than before. Actually the bigot mindset will disappear a hundred times more profoundly than before when the Mahdi (pbuh) appears. Democracy will come, love will come, peace will come, economic welfare will come and so will justice.
• A communist, an atheist, a Darwinist is a potential Muslim. Their becoming Muslims is hoped for. If that doesn't happen it is in their destiny. We would feel pity, we would feel mercy for them. And pray for their salvation.
• Religion would not prevail through bigotry. People ask me; "Why are you cheerful? Why is there music in your programs? Why do you use pictures? Why do you have fun?" Religion would not prevail any other way.
• Islam would not prevail without love, with an understanding far removed from aesthetics, with a ragged, shabby and pathetic appearance in an introverted world where there is no music, no art, no democracy, no enthusiasm, no excitement. Allah wouldn't deem such a horrible system an obligation on us. People invent such horrible systems, such atrocious systems on their own.
• There is no compulsion in religion, no coercion in religion. People can think as ever they like. Allah puts us in a trial, what does trial mean? You decide with your free will.
• The year 2082 will be the most glorious, the most beautiful years of the Jesus Messiah (pbuh) insha'Allah. And of the system of the Mahdi of course.

Departure of the soul and death

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

(Photo credit: photographsforthesoul.blogspot.com)

Surat at-Tawba

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

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

Reincarnation

Reincarnation

A9 TV, 12 June 2011

I am opposed to reincarnation. There is no logic to reincarnation. They say someone will die, his soul will depart and enter another human being, but he will emerge as another person. He has a different body and soul. If he has a different soul, then he is a different person. Reincarnation is of no use to people. It is rejected by the Qur’an. There is no such thing. Where do they get the idea that Bektashis believe in reincarnation? Hajji Bektash prayed five times a day. I have many Bektashi and Alawite relatives. They are excellent people, devoted to the Qur’an and the truth, and they do not believe in reincarnation.

• Turkey is the country in which the system of the Mahdi is believed the most in the world. The second country is Iraq. Masha'Allah.
• We do not want Syria to be divided. Our goal in Syria is to ensure the security of life for everyone there.
• The hadiths that have occurred cannot be called mawdu hadith. If a hadith is realized that means it is a sahih(authentic) hadith. We accept all the hadiths that comply with the Qur'an, all the hadiths that have been realized. We do not accept any accounts that are incompatible with the Qur'an.
• The system of the Mahdi fully complies with the Qur'an, it is the truth in every aspect.
• A Muslim can never be ugly, Muslims are radiant and beautiful.
• It would be very wrong to form a religion according to one's own mind and then to look for it in the Qur'an. One should directly look at the Qur'an. There is no adjudicator other than Allah.
• Those who give an intellectual struggle on the path of Allah will be covered with prosperity.
• A person who drinks alcohol will become a sinner but that person would not be abandoning religion.
• Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will put away denominations and people will abide by pure revelation.
• In the Qur'an, Allah does not pronounce commands ambiguously, through implications that are open to interpretation. If there is no verse containing a clear judgment about a certain matter, it does not constitute a religious obligation.
• Our Prophet (saas) was a very kind, high quality and classy person.
• The soul is trained through hardships and ordeals.
• Allah regards people's attaining value by being subjected to tests as very significant.
• There is no other scholar who explains Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as detailed and as perfect as Bediuzzaman. The details he has given about the Mahdi (pbuh) are amazing.
• A terrestrial and naval blockage should be put on Syria.
