Adnan Oktar’s answer to the question, ‘Are fun and music permissible if one lives by the faith?’

From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s interview on A9 TV on February 16^th, 2015

ADNAN OKTAR: ‘How is the faith compatible with fun and music?’ one viewer asks. He has failed to realize that in the Qur’an life is meant to be full of joy, and that this world should be like paradise. They regard religion as meaning pain, suffering and misery. They believe that if someone is devout he should have a miserable time. All the beauties of life are part of the faith – music, joy, fun, love and everything. Religion encapsulates all of life and makes them all permissible. There are very few things that are illegitimate and forbidden. But there is no end to things that are lawful. In their eyes, music is sinful, fun is sinful and everything is sinful.

- Because they fail to realize that God is everywhere. They imagine there can be no God in a place where there is music and dancing, may He forbid. God enfolds all places.

ADNAN OKTAR: They believe one cannot think of God while one is having fun. They believe one would have to forget God if one goes to a wedding or a disco. Or that one will forget God if one listens to the radio. They think it is impossible to speak of Allah under those circumstances. They believe one will forget God if one goes dancing and has fun. That is very, very wrong.

- The whole problem is that they are suffering and complaining all the time. But they are also used to it, so they keep on doing it.

- God creates a feeling of joy every day, including when one is dancing or listening to music.

ADNAN OKTAR: They do not believe it. They regard it as incompatible with Islam for a woman to dress well. They believe a woman should have a wretched time and suffer.

- God tells the polytheists, “Let them laugh little and weep much, in repayment for what they have earned.”.

ADNAN OKTAR: All they want is tears and weeping. God says, “Let them laugh little and weep much.” And they are always saying, ‘Let us weep and shed tears.’

Özgecan Aslan was martyred defending her honor and virtue. Because that was jihad, active jihad.

The culture of mourning is so widespread in Turkey! They always want to be mourning. If we let them, they would mourn day and night for years on end, for anything.

- They do nothing to find a solution. They just mourn.

ADNAN OKTAR: Mourning all the time.

Information from the Qur’an about preliminary location of the testes in the fetus

Man has only to look at what he was created from. He was created from a spurting fluid, emerging from between the back-bone and the breast-bone.(Surat at-Tariq, 5-7)

Significant details emerge when we look at the information in the Qur’an concerning human creation; the term ‘spurting fluid’ in Surat at-Tariq refers to semen. The above verses describe the preliminary location of the testes in the embryo, and their embryological origin in detail, with perfect accuracy

As the baby develops in the mother’s womb, the testes develop in the same place as the kidneys, between the backbone and the ribs. This area is known as the lumbar region. The testes develop from the ventromedial (front, central) part of the tissue known as the mesonephros (middle kidney). (The ovaries also derive from the same tissue.)

Once the testes have developed in this region they move downward inside the abdominal cavity as of the third month of pregnancy. As a result of this journey through the abdomen they find themselves descended into the testicular sac known as the scrotum. This passage is generally completed by birth, or soon after. This embryological fact is known in literature as the ‘descent of the testes'.

These facts from the science of embryology are exactly described in the following verses; Man has only to look at what he was created from. He was created from a spurting fluid, emerging from between the back-bone and the breast-bone (Surat at-Tarik, 5-7).

Just as the verses reveal in the words “beyni (between) essulbi (the back-bone) wa etteraibi (and the breast bone ….)”, the testes depart from the region between the back-bone and the ribs during the development of the baby and ultimately descend down to the testicular sac.

The fact that the Qur’an describes such detailed information about the testes, where the sperm are produced, is further proof that it was revealed by God, the Creator of all.

Evolutionary nonsense that denies the existence of God is taught in schools in Iran, which is supposedly governed according to Shariah law

From Mr. Adnan Oktar’s interview on Pleasant Conversations on A9TV on 20 February 2015 

ADNAN OKTAR: Almighty God has created a time in which believers can earn a very great deal of merit. Just think, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Iran all talk about Shariah and Islam. Yet there are museums in those countries that display paleontological evidence, and people say, ‘There is no God.’ There are books, biology text books in Saudi Arabia or Iran. You open them up and from start to finish they say that there is no God. You ask Iran, and they say, ‘We are a Shariah state.’ Don’t lie, you are a communist state. You work hand in hand with communists. You can be friends with them, nothing wrong with that, but you are communists. It is not true that you are governed by Shariah Law. You are misleading people. Be honest. You openly deny God. Where is the Shariah Law in that? You openly deny God. When we staged conferences in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, those people were amazed. “Darwinism is a fact,” they say. Sheikhs and mullahs and religious scholars all say, “Darwinism is a fact.” If you regard it as the truth, then what is that skull cap doing on your head? You espouse a system that denies God. Do you realize what you are doing?  

- I held a conference at the Sheikh Zayyid University in the UAE, as your representative, with medical faculty students and teachers. Students complained to their teachers, saying, “If this is a lie, why are you still teaching it?”

- They were really taken aback. “Is this all true?” they asked. “Yes, it is,” we said. They were stunned.

ADNAN OKTAR: Godless propaganda is being spread all over the place, in all Islamic countries. This is the first time that has happened. This is the first time in the history in the world there has been such a tragedy, and a great many people are currently asleep, 99% of them are asleep in the face of this scourge. Something is said against the Prophet and everyone rises to their feet. But God is being directly denied. Pull yourselves together. Something that will bring the sky down on us is happening. God is being denied in schools. ‘God did not create you, and your ancestors were worms,’ they are told. See, they deny Hazrat Adam (pbuh). ‘That is a lie,’ they say, ‘Your forebear was a worm. You came into being by chance.’ And even though this is happening in the Islamic world, 99% of Muslims are unaware of it. They talk about these and teach it, but are unaware of what they are advocating. You are denying God when you teach Darwinism. You are saying. ‘The Prophet lied, and God does not exist,’ may He forbid.

- Dawkins says that Charles Darwin made it possible to be an intellectual atheist.

ADNAN OKTAR: “Charles Darwin made it possible to be an intellectual atheist.” That is how they created atheism across the world. For example, you have mullahs and teachers in Islamic countries who are atheists and Darwinists, but they themselves do not realize that is what they are. “Of course that is true. It is what the Qur’an says,” they say.

- Fethullah Gulen says, “Darwin’s theory defeated me. But then someone appeared and wrote books, and that rescued me again.”  

ADNAN OKTAR: “I had been devastated,” Fethullah Hodja says. “And the young people around me had been devastated.” “Darwinism ruined us,” he says. Then, “may God bless the writer, hundreds of books appeared. You cannot imagine how much I rejoiced.” But Fethullah Hodja does not say who wrote those books. That is secret.

- There is only one person [whom he might be talking about.]

- Everybody knows.

A Muslim Woman Knows How to Dress in Accordance with the Qur'an

One important point that needs to be made here is that a Muslim woman knows perfectly well how to dress in accordance with the Qur'an so there is no need for a man to tell women how to dress. A man has no right whatsoever to interfere in what a woman wears, much less tell her how to dress or judge her. God has not given man that right. Today, this is an important matter that needs to be brought up and emphasized, especially in Muslim societies.

A woman may wear the head-covering, or cover herself up entirely or uncover her head or wear low-cut clothes. Once she says, “I am a Muslim,” nobody has the right to judge her. It is known only in the Sight of God which is more virtuous. It is sincerity that counts in the faith, not clothing. In the same way that someone who covers up entirely may be insincere and go to hell, a woman who wears low-cut clothes may also earn the right to enter paradise. It is God alone Who will decide.

When people adopt guides other than the Qur'an, problems arise that are unsuited to human nature and will invariably make trouble of one kind or another. These also cease to be individual problems and can transform into social conflicts or problems. The distinction based on forms of dress – such as with or without the head-covering, or low-cut clothing versus covering up entirely - is a false perception that has no place in the Qur'an and leads to tensions in society. God reveals in a verse that according to the Qur'an, superiority lies not in dress and external appearance but in piety, or taqwa (acting out of a fear of God):

Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing to you to conceal your private parts, as well as to be an adornment to you, but the garment of piety–that is best! That is one of God's signs, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (Qur'an, 7:26)

Faith is lived and made reality in the heart. Faith manifests itself through moral virtues, a person's warmth, affection, generosity, forgiving nature, quality, culture, manners and conception of art and science; in short, in everything. It is therefore important to evaluate people through their moral values, not by their external appearance.

No matter what their external appearance, people who say, “I am a Muslim” are all precious Muslims. It is wrong to discriminate between them. Nobody has the right to discriminate.

Islam encourages personal hygiene, grooming and looking attractive

In the religion fabricated by the bigots, people, especially the women are expected to look their worst. Let alone putting on make-up and wear attractive clothes, they are banned from even carrying out the simple personal care tasks that would ensure a beautiful look. Some of the fabricated hadiths that ban using perfumes are as follows: 

The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like that of sexual intercourse (perfectly). (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 33, Hadith 4162)

If a woman uses perfume and passes the people so that they may get its odour, she is so-and-so, meaning severe remarks. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 33, Hadith 4161)

If a woman wears perfume for anyone other than her husband, her prayer will not be accepted unless she washes that scent from her body as if washing off sexual intercourse." (Man La Yahzaruhul Faqih, v. 3, p. 440)

Using perfume for other than one’s husband brings a woman shame and fire (of hell). (Nahj al-Fasaha, 2382) 

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Tattoos, Removal of Facial Hair, Esthetic Dental Work

God has cursed those women who practice tattooing and those who get themselves tattooed, and those who remove their face hairs, and those who create a space between their teeth artificially to look beautiful. (Sahih Bukhari, Book 72, Hadith 815)

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Wigs, Eyebrow Plucking, Tattoos

God has cursed such a lady as lengthens (her or someone else's) hair artificially or gets it lengthened, and also a lady who tattoos (herself or someone else) or gets herself tattooed. (Sahih Bukhari, Book 72, Hadith 820)

The Messenger of God (pbuh) cursed the woman who does tattoos and the one who has them done, and those who pluck their eyebrows. (Sunan Ibn Majah, Chapter 11, Hadith 1989)

Fabricated Hadiths that Prohibit Women from Going out of Doors in Attractive Clothes

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “O Fatimah! The angels of the seven heavens and the seven earths curse the woman who decorates herself, dresses up and goes out of her house so that men may admire her beauty. She becomes the target of Divine wrath when she is alive. When she dies it is ordered that she be thrown into hell.” (Shahabul Akhbar, Dastaan-e-zanaan, p. 11)

Imam al-Sadiq: "For someone to be brought low and disgraced, it is enough to wear clothes that will spread their fame (in such a way as to attract people’s attention and cause them to point that person out)." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.78, p. 252)

Hazrat Ali: "Wear thick clothing (that does not reveal the body) because people who wear thin clothing also possess thin (weak) faith." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.79, p. 298)

The Messenger of God (pbuh) forbade women to wear clothes that would attract people’s attention and from wearing accessories that make noise when they went out. (Mustadrak al-Wasail, Vol.14, p. 280)

Fabricated Hadiths that Maintain that Women Lose Paradise by Preoccupying Themselves with Gold and Clothes

I looked into paradise and the minority of its inhabitants were women. So I asked, “Where are the women?” And I was told, “They are preoccupied with two red things: gold, and saffron,” meaning jewelry and dyestuff for clothes.

Fabricated Hadiths that Maintain that Women Should not be Given Nice Clothes

Help women by not giving them nice clothes to wear.

The reason for quoting all these fabricated hadiths is to be able to show how women are despised in the religion of the peddlers of superstition, and how they are regarded as foolish, lacking in character and generally irrelevant. These commands, which appear nowhere in the Qur’an, are depicted by way of these false hadiths as if they were a part of the faith. In this way, not only is female beauty done away with, a model of society in which their wisdom and character is also taken away is thus described. From then on, the lives of those who are already frozen, soulless and loveless become increasingly more atrophied.

When female beauty, one of the greatest blessings of this world, is done away with, both their own souls and their idea of society sink to the bottom. As we have discussed in detail in preceding sections, by disregarding women’s minds and ignoring the ideas of women who are capable of sharp and detailed thinking, capable of taking precautions and with a much wider understanding than that of men in a great many regards, the societies in question are deprived of many benefits. The most disturbing thing is that women in these societies also believe in this false religion and see nothing wrong with regarding themselves as inferior. The women in question have become used to looking no different to men and being exceedingly ill-groomed, to having no opinions on anything, to being ignorant and leaving all decisions to men and generally submitting to men.

The fact is, however, as we have already seen, that God refers in verses to those who render adornments and nice things unlawful. Such people behave in contravention of the Qur’an:

Say: “Who has forbidden the ornament of God which He has produced for His servants and the good kinds of provision?” Say: “They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Resurrection.” In this way We make the signs clear for people who know. (Surat al-A’raf, 32)

As we have already seen in detail, women are delightful and valuable in the view of the Qur’an; female beauty is a blessing. Female intelligence can lead societies to very broad horizons. God has bestowed all these beautiful attributes on women; He praises them and protects them. These fraudulent statements in the fabricated hadiths above are completely rejected by the Qur’an.

It must not be forgotten that the people who try to ban beauty and the blessings beloved of God are fanatics. It is therefore a very great mistake to condemn those who think that the world of the fanatics is the true one and thus criticize the true Islam out of this ignorance. The people who really abide by the Qur’an are those who know that beauty and adornment are blessings from God, not those who want to ban them.
