A blog for sharing works of Turkish writer Harun Yahya (Sn. Adnan Oktar) a prominent Muslim leader in the intellectual struggle against the theory of evolution a root of atheism & materialism.
ADNAN OKTAR: In
the 13th Century, Rabbi Yitzhak explains the Torah as follows: Look,
it was centuries ago. In the year when the King Moshiach (Hazrat Mahdi)
appears, kings of all countries shall fight with each other. The Persian King,
(the Iranian regime) shall provoke "...the Arab King into a war." The
Arab King shall go to Aram, "...to Damascus and around" to get advice
from them. Look, he shall go. "All nations of the world will be in turmoil
and terror. They shall fall on their faces and shall be suffering as if they
are seized by something like labour pains." For example, Saudi Arabia is
being provoked into [military action in] Muslim countries by Iran; Iran and
Saudia Arabia are provoking each other. Brothers are crushing each other.
However, both are blessed, devout and immaculate Muslims. Look, it is written
in the Torah too.
The Torah reveals that the Jews will experience great fear before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). That is why they are so worried by these tunnels
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated July 25th, 2014
- The Palestinians are not using the tunnels for operations. Aid such as food and medicines is generally obtained through these tunnels. Access to Egypt is through these tunnels. There are two border crossings, but since these are generally closed, these needs are met through these tunnels.
Adnan Oktar: In that case, why is Israel so worried about them? If they do them no harm?
- They also carry weapons through them. They claim that these tunnels were used in the kidnapping of the Israeli soldier. Hamas also uses these tunnels.
Adnan Oktar: They are worried at the possibility of kidnapping. In terms of security.
- Yes.
Adnan Oktar: There is a verse in which God says you were “afraid that the people would snatch you away, He gave you refuge and supported you with His help..”’ That is what will happen in the End Times. It is the system of the Mahdi that is described in verse 55 of Surat an-Nur. God says He will give them ‘in place of their fear, security.’ He says He will do this through His true servants. His true servants are the followers of the Mahdi, the followers of Jesus the Messiah, and those who obey and love them.
- Suicide bombers also apparently move through these tunnels.
Adnan Oktar: There are no suicide attacks at the moment. There have not been any lately. Israel wants a policy of intense measures. They want there to be nothing that can threaten their security. They want to close down everything they regard as a risk. But they may really fear those tunnels. The Torah says that God will send fear into the heart of Israel in the End Times.
'You will fear everything and everyone before the coming of Moshiach, the Mahdi. You will live in fear,’ He says. They are now in that time. You will live in intense fear,’ He says. I have spoken of this matter with them. They say the same thing. 'We are a nation that lives in intense fear. We are a nation disposed to fear, and they constantly inflict fear on us.’ They are uneasy about this.
It is wrong to inflict fear on innocent Jews
- The Iranian leader Khamenei has said that the Zionist regime must be destroyed and that the West Bank must be armed.
Adnan Oktar: My brother, there will be a state of Israel. And the Jews will live in that region. They have only one homeland. Wherever they go, they are thrown out. That is a shame, and they must be treated with a bit of compassion. They are hated everywhere, and that is a terrible thing. They cannot walk in the streets. They live in fear everywhere. They should be treated with a bit of love and compassion. The people, that is, not the killers or the wicked. Compassion to the innocent. Let them live there. The land goes on forever. What is the point of hurting them and inflicting fear and suffering on them? But they will never be able to live at ease until the coming of Moshiach. The Torah says, ‘You will always live in fear.’ ‘Fear will spread in their hearts,’ it says. But they will live at ease in the time of Moshiach. Of the Imam Mahdi, in other words, the true person of Israel. The People of Israel who will save them are the Mahdi and his followers.
Surat al-’Araf: Those parts of the Torah and the Gospel that are compatible with the Qur’an are valid
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated May 15th, 2014
Surat al-‘Araf, " Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel,"
They say, ‘We do not look at the Torah and the Gospel and we have nothing to do with them.’ In other words, they say they recognize no such books. But what does God say in the verse? " those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, "
He says it is written there. So there are parts of the Torah and the Gospel that are compatible with the Qur’an and that are valid. And these passages are used as evidence. God uses this as evidence in the Qur’an. Abjad [numerological] calculation gives a date of 2025.
The verse tells us that what the illiterate messenger brings, one who does not know how to read and write Arabic, is also written in the Torah and the Gospel. This messenger is someone who tells people about the Qur’an.
" commanding them to do right" in other words, he tells people what is compatible with God’s approval.
" and forbidding them to do wrong " and tells them not to do what God has forbidden.
" making good things lawful for them and bad things unlawful for them," Things like pork and blood are unlawful, but everything that is clean is lawful. Our Prophet is not making this up as he goes along. He is doing it through revelation from God.
" relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. "This means that the fanatics have imposed heavy burdens. They have bound them with chains. People have been crushed under those burdens. Their brains and souls and minds have fallen apart. They cannot think normally, they cannot understand properly. The functions of their brains have been impaired.
God is not speaking of just any burden in the verse, but of a heavy one. The burden of fanaticism and bigotry is a very heavy one. It ruins people and society. Countries fall apart.
God says He will lift people’s ‘chains.’ Not just one chain, but ‘chains.’ Their mouths, arms and everywhere are wrapped around with chains. They are unable to live any more. The messenger will lift these chains and cast them away. He will lighten the faith. The faith will not be hard any more.
" Those who believe in him and honor him and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down with him, they are the ones who are successful.” The people around him do not just say they believe. They also actively support him. They speak in favor of the Messenger, they defend him. They support him in all respects. They fully abide by the Qur’an. They walk in the path of the light of the Qur’an.
Explanations from the Torah regarding the End Times
There is information about the End Times in the Torah. In Isaiah 19/2, "The LORD says, "I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian…" The Egyptian people are all stirred up against each other right now. "…brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom."
In Isaiah 19/4, "I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master…" This is a statement referring to [General] Sisi. "I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them…" He really is very cruel. "… A fierce king will rule over them…" That is what happened right now.
In Isaiah 17/1, "See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins." These are the commands of the Torah referring to the times of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). "..The rule of Damascus will disappear. "
Everything, favorable or
unfavorable, flows into the sea of the system of the Mahdi
Excerpt from Mr.
Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated November 28th, 2013
Adnan Oktar:
Islamic Union is developing
fast, the spirit of the system of the Mahdi is developing fast, Qur’anic moral
values are spreading fast, extremism is disappearing, and we can see from signs
that Almighty God will bring the system and beauty we desire to the whole world.
But Almighty God has made events quite complex within a destiny. Look, there is
an action in those events. God does not desire monotony and stasis. For
example, if there is a mountain, He makes it a volcano. If there is flat land,
He moves it with an earthquake. He either bestows sickness or rejoicing on
people, or else takes their souls, but Almighty God always creates a liveliness
rather than stasis. And every movement works in favor of the system of the
Mahdi. This movement is in favor of the system of the Mahdi and against that of
the antichrist. Otherwise, the days would just come and go, Wednesdays followed
by Thursdays, and life would come and go. But God does not do that. You see an
earthquake in Ankara, then an earthquake in Istanbul, then extraordinary things
happen in the press, amazing things happen in systems. But it all flows in one
direction, toward the sea of the system of the Mahdi. Wherever it may be, it
flows to the sea of the system of the Mahdi. The earthquake flows to the sea of
the system of the Mahdi, and the volcano. Everything flows toward the sea of
the system of the Mahdi. He constantly
raises the system of the Mahdi. He raises it centimeter by centimeter. For
example, these recent events are directly in favor of the system of the Mahdi.
They constantly elevate and expand it. But they always work against other systems
in other places. They work against someone sitting [in power] over there,
whether it be a political system or a particular group or whatever. It will be
for the best, but against them. It will be in the best interests of Islam but
against them. It will be in favor of Islam and the Qur’an. It is a state of
affairs that will benefit believers and will be auspicious for them. For
example, an article appears about us. They say a lot of pieces have appeared
recently about the Torah Code. People who look only superficially cannot
understand. But people who look intelligently… If I address one person, through
him, 10,000 come to hear. People become curious. What is this Torah Code? A
person will then investigate it. Where are these codes? His horizons open up
for the first time. He realizes there is a code in the Torah. Then he wonders
about the Code of the Qur’an. What are the codes in the Qur’an, he wonders. He
looks into them. Where does this all flow? To the sea of the system of the Mahdi.
The sea of the system of the Mahdi is greater than the seven seas. It fills up
day and night. For instance, they say, “Someone is under suspicion somewhere.”
“That is sad,” people say. That flows directly into the sea of the system of
the Mahdi. They say, “Such and such a person has become a Muslim, a scholar,
and this atheist has become a Muslim.” That
also flows into the sea of the system of the Mahdi. Look, notice how
everything, favorable or not, flows into the sea of the system of the Mahdi.
But that is not the case in other systems. It always works against people. It
will do damage to someone, or hurt them. Someone may be rich but then troubles
will afflict him. Someone will be living a quiet, peaceful life and becomes
rich. But then everyone turns against him. His money becomes a scourge for him.
He looks for a hole to hide away in. But that is not how it works in the system
of the Mahdi, It always works favorably. There is always a positive and
auspicious development. Nothing happens that does not flow into the sea of the
system of the Mahdi. Its level rises all the time. But the sea will not burst
its banks until it is full. Almighty God has been filling that sea of 40 years.
When the sea overflows at the end of those 40 years, God will see the boat to
land, as with Noah’s Ark, insha’Allah. Our prophet (pbuh) says that the system
of the antichrist has a life span of 40 years. The struggle between the systems
of the Mahdi and the antichrist will last for 40 years. Then the Mahdi will
finish it in 40 years.
They can oppose it all they
like. When there is opposition to the system of the Mahdi our Prophet says, “Intellectuals
and the religious scholars will always be opposed to the Mahdi.” He says that
in the hadiths. He even says, “A scholar in Istanbul, a well-known scholar, a
scholar with the soul of Pharaoh, will afflict the Mahdi with unbelief and with
pride.” Imam Rabbani describes it in his Letters. But that just fills the sea
of the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi could not grow without
opposition. Someone is opposed to the system of the Mahdi because God uses him
as His vanguard. He is actually assisting it. Someone works against the system
of the Mahdi on the internet, in a way that has never been seen before. There
are writings and talk about how “The system of the Mahdi will never come.” Many
so-called scholars say that the Mahdi will never come, when they are asked.
People have this lack of belief in their hearts and souls. Some of them even go
so far as not to believe in God, may He forbid, or not to believe in the
Prophet. That becomes a sickness. There is doubt in the soul, in people. But
the believer uses doubt in his favor. He uses it to benefit our Lord. Souls
with a tendency to pride try and use this against God, but that just brings
them tragedy and disaster. That spirit of doubt, that spirit of questioning
literally drives them crazy. Now if you say, “He said the Mahdi will not be
coming,” people will start obsessing about that future. If you say, “The Mahdi
will come,” then people will investigate that. I say that he will be coming,
and people look into that. If people say he will not be coming, then people
also investigate that. That is in the human soul. Now when they look into
whether he will not be coming, they still find themselves looking at the system
of the Mahdi. He will “be coming” because the evidence is very clear when we
compare the two. How many proofs are there? There are 200. But how many proofs
do the other side have?
Millions of antichrists and
a great many Nimrods and pharaohs have afflicted the system of the Mahdi by God’s
mercy. Hypocrites of various kinds, atheist djinn, human djinn and creatures of
all kinds have infested the system of the Mahdi. God says in a verse that He
has created enemies of all kinds for all prophets. Almighty God says He has
created them specially. God creates a great many enemies of the system of the
Mahdi. He creates opponents, Nimrods, hypocrites and the ignorant. The system
of the Mahdi then assumes a glorious size and volume. Normally, the Mahdi is a
very small person, but the attacks by unbelief and the attacks of evil make a
giant out of him. The world becomes too small to hold him. He grows so much
that he welcomes attacks. We must see that such attacks flow into the sea of
the system of the Mahdi and must welcome them. People who fail to see this will
fail to see the beauty of the blessing.
Harun Yahya: Love, rational thinking and common sense will emerge victorious
CHARLES ASHER SMALL:So, I guess my first question would be from a religious perspective, as well as from a philosophical, moral and ethical perspective, the treatment of the other is an important aspect of religion, if not civilization. So, from a political/moral perspective, I'm influenced by the work -for example- of Emmanuel Levinas, and the treatment of the other and he argues that when we see ourselves, we see ourselves in the face of the other, that this is the moment we become human; this is the moment when we realize the godliness in the other person, that we're all created in the image of God. And can you speak please, I guess from an Islamic perspective, from your teachings and from your perspective, the importance of acknowledging and respecting the other vis-a-vis, in the case that I'm interested in, anti-Semitism or other forms of discrimination; how does that affect the morality of the individual from an Islamic perspective?
ADNAN OKTAR: Anti-Semitism is impossible in our age, at a time when we have the internet and television and when people can easily access information of all kinds. It is a system that applied during the Middle Ages, when cruel and ruthless ideas predominated. But we are now a society of love. The world is heading in the direction of love. Of union, unity and brotherhood. We are in the age of the Messiah, the King Messiah, the Mahdi. There is no room for such primitive and oppressive ideas as anti-Semitism in such an age, and we will never permit it. Islam is a religion of love and peace. All the religions demand love, peace and brotherhood. It is the same in Judaism and Christianity and Islam. The name 'Islam' means 'peace', as befits it. It's origin comes from the Arabic root word meaning peace, and it can thus be best understood from this as well. Allah wants us to be forgiving, affectionate, compassionate, loving and sincere. And the Qur'an tells us to learn about science and research. It wants art, beauty and goodness to reign over the world. And that is the age we have now entered. There will be no more oppressive systems from now on.
CHARLES ASHER SMALL: I pray to God that he is right, and I appreciate his answer, but I would argue that through the use of the internet, through globalization at the one hand, globalization is bringing people together as never before, perhaps in the history of humanity and, at the same time it's separating and segregating people through all sorts of economic, social and cultural processes. And in fact the internet and globalization, a part of it is a rise in hatred. I would say for example that internet websites are preaching hatred, even though sometimes people are preaching love and togetherness; there is a movement that's preaching hatred. For example, the lies of European anti-Semitism, the anti-Semitism which existed before the internet which was basically a European issue more so than any other part of the world, but this European anti-Semitism is actually infiltrating into the Islamic world at a very alarming rate; and for example, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which was a forged document, a fake document.
CHARLES ASHER SMALL: So, we were speaking earlier about how Islam and Christianity and Judaism and other religions are religions of love, and this is essentially a time of love in Messianic times, but I was saying that the internet is also a conveyor of hate that's bringing people together to hate, and in some countries like Turkey, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which is a lie, which is a European genocidal anti-Semitic discourse, is now entering into the Islamic world. I was wondering what he thinks about this phenomenon.
ADNAN OKTAR: Such ideas have long existed in the Islamic world and in Europe. But love, rational thinking and common sense have always emerged victorious. We cannot abandon the world to psychopaths, of course. The world has now entered the Golden Age under the leadership of the Mahdi, the King Messiah. And that development is still continuing. Tyrants and the supporters of satan encourage ruthlessness, bloodshed, psychopathic behavior and persecution. But the supporters of Allah, those who love Allah, espouse love, peace, brotherhood, art, science and democracy. The supporters of Allah will be victorious. That is explicitly set out in the Torah and the Qur'an. Look, it is vital that we know that there is an urgent need for the way of the Mahdi, the King Messiah, the Mahdi, and to seek these individuals who have been foretold and praised. That is so important, the key to solution.
CHARLES ASHER SMALL: Okay, so I agree on that level, but now that we're living in the physical world, at this moment of history, where people are using religion to preach hatred and not love, how do we, from an Islamic perspective, how are people in power to counteract, to confront those for example who speak of the Jews in the narrative of the "Protocols", from Indonesia to Tehran to Gaza, people are using these European anti-Semitic narratives and infusing it as true Islam. How do true believers in Islam react or confront this evil?
ADNAN OKTAR:These are of no scientific value of these. They need not be taken seriously because our criterion is the Qur'an. And the Qur'an teaches love and compassion. Almighty Allah says we may marry the People of the Book, a Jewish woman, for instance. That provision is sufficient all by itself. How does a person regard his wife? As his beloved, the jewel in his crown. His wife is the person he trusts most of all. She is the mother of his children. I mean, should he look at her in the light of that document, or of the ruling in the Qur'an? Therefore, documents of no scientific worth or faith, devoid of any Qur'anic values, are not valid for any rational Muslim. I think you are wrong to be uneasy over this. Relax, trust in Allah, and never forget we are in the age of the King Messiah. Ask Allah to show the King Messiah and pray for the immediate building of the Temple of Solomon. This century will be a glorious one for Jews. Their finest years. The years when Islam comes to reign. The Jews will enjoy a Golden Age under the leadership of the person known as the Mahdi, or the King Messiah. They will enter a time of peace and happiness. The age they have been waiting for over the last 3,000 years is this century. There is no other appropriate time according to the Torah and other Judaic sources. That age will start in 2012. All Judaic scholars and sages know. It is also in the Zohar. A known fact.
What other words appear on the page of the Torah on
which the name of Adnan Oktar appears?
Why the appearance of the name Adnan Oktar in
the Torah code system is significant
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation
on A9TV dated November 21&25th, 2013
Adnan Oktar:
The appearance of the name ‘Adnan Oktar’ in the Torah really astonished
me. That is something amazing because it is on just one page. Can you show us?
Look, a single page in the Torah. See what is on this
single page. One, the name of ‘Adnan Oktar’ appears. Can you zoom in? Yes,
look. Two, the word ‘ijazah’ [permission] appears. On the same page. Three, the
word ‘striving for God’ appears. Four, ‘remember God together’ appears. The
word ‘fertile’ appears, and the word ‘conclusion' and ‘with a friend.’ Look, Rayel
– the word of Allah, the title of Jesus the Messiah in the Qur’an. It speaks of
Jesus the Messiah on the same page. And it speaks of permission. ‘Striving for
Allah,’ ‘remember Allah together,’ ‘fertility,’ ‘conclusion’ and ‘together with
a friend.’
Bring that image of the Torah a bit closer. There is a group of rabbis
studying and trying to clarify this. They have specialized in these matters for
decades. This is very ancient knowledge, but they have only just discovered it.
I was amazed. The word Adnan might be there, but ‘Adnan Oktar’? All right, let
us grant ‘Adnan Oktar’ is there. But would one expect to see ‘the word of
Allah,’ the title of Jesus the Messiah, followed by ‘permission’?
'Strive for Allah’ followed by ‘remember Allah together,’ ‘fertility,’
conclusion’ and ‘together with a friend.’ These all appear on one page in the
Torah. Now is this not astonishing? Is such a thing at all normal?
The other day someone said. “The name Noah appears in 40 places, what is
special about that?” My brother, the name of the Prophet Noah may appear, but
when it comes with these other words then something really and truly
extraordinary has happened. There is a glorious detail here and interconnected
logic. It is impossible to ignore this. It is something breathtaking and
astonishing.
.....
One of our friends says, “My name is Noah, and
the name Noah appears in the Torah in 40 places.” Of course the name of a
prophet will appear, insha’Allah. What is surprising about that? Yet he has failed
to understand the amazing thing here. If you look, the name Ali may appear, or
the name Hussain. But 1.‘Adnan Oktar’ , 2 the word ‘Allah’, 3 ‘strive for Allah’,
4 ‘remember Allah together’, 5 ‘result’, and 6 ‘together with a friend’. That
cannot be a coincidence.
Gülşah Güçyetmez:
Just the fact your name and surname appear
together is a marvel.
Adnan Oktar:
Of course, if one looks for Adnan it may perhaps
appear. But ‘Adnan Oktar’ is a marvel. That is why our friend is wasting his
time, there is clearly something marvelous here. This means there is a sign
that I will be a follower of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), and a sign that I shall
be a follower of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). That is what I take it to mean,
insha’Allah.
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on
A9TV dated November 28th, 2013
Surat al-Haqqa, Verse 7. “Allah subjected
them to it for seven whole nights and eight whole days without a break.” In the
seventh verse, there is an immediate mention to the number “7”. This also
exists in some other places; the seventh verse likewise refers to 7. In the
Qur'an, there is the codings of 7 and 19: These are very important. Now and
again, let’s explain these codings of 19 and 7. There is also this coding
system in the Torah. There was some footage explaining it; can we watch it? OK.
Let me see it.
Yes, Moshiach, that is the name of Hazrat
Mahdi (as), is also mentioned in the Torah. It is again coded in the Torah that
in 2012 he will fairly appear. And the person who explains this is a expert on
the code system of the Torah, a knowledgeable expert. There are such experts,
profound scholars who can decode the code systems in the Torah, but of course
their numbers are few; he is one of them. The name, date and time of many
incidents and places are likewise coded in the Torah. This is how they can show
them.
Those who abide by the Qur'an become
wise and reasonable
Excerpt from Mr.
Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated October 4th, 2013
Adnan Oktar: The Qur'an is also the Book of being wise. Many topics are explained
over and over in the Qur'an, that is because a unique purity prevails in the
Qur'an. I mean the Qur'an does not describe wisdom and reason in an intricate
system; it is pure and simple. There are repetitions in more than half of the
Qur'an and that is to have a better understanding of the Qur'an. Consequently
God explains the neat and simple rules of reason to us. When you put those
rules into practice you become very wise and very consistent; otherwise these
people we sometimes come across in the streets, people we sometimes see in some
certain places come up; people crying, people in sorrow, people shouting and
screaming, people who are suspicious, people who are disloyal, who are
unfaithful, people who can never trust anyone, people who constantly ruin
themselves with intense suspicions, people who harm the society they are living
in. Majority of the people turn out to be like this, only rarely they end up being
anything on the contrary. This is how they mostly end up. And the other rare ones
are either coincidences or are people who have somehow learnt the good manners
of Islam from one aspect and that is the reason why they turn out to be like
that. That is why people who read the Qur'an should know that in every single
verse they read, they would have a better understanding of the profundity of
reason. This is also valid for the Torah and that is why Jews are reading the
Torah day and night. Most of them end up becoming nearsighted because of
reading too much. But that develops their brains amazingly, Jews are very
intelligent because of that. They constantly look for secrets of the Torah and
they constantly contemplate. They constantly try to find out and understand the
profundity and the divine secrets explained in the Torah. Consequently their
brains and their morality and personality develop.
