From Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV and Kaçkar TV dated 21 June, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: "Good evening, I am writing to you from Gaziantep."
Gaziantep, the home of heroes. "I watched your program for the first time
yesterday. I am watching again today, and am trying to understand you. But I
have only just begun to understand you" he says. "I saw a cross
around a lady's neck," he says. My brother, this is a non-Muslim sister, so
be fair.. What do you want us to do, remove the chain from her neck? With that
mentality, we will end up attacking churches.. That is out of the question.
That is a matter of her personal belief, in the same way you wear a crescent on
your lapel, or a moon and star; according to her belief, she thinks of it as
something symbolizing her faith. We would respect that, it is perfectly normal,
insha'Allah. All the tourists, all the ones in Beyazit, etc., they all wear
them around their necks. Do you expect us to go round lifting them off, one by
one? Do you want us to snatch them off? Right? You are to overthrow the meaning
that the cross constitutes. But you cannot get anywhere by tearing it off or casting
it down. Strive against the belief in the Trinity. There is nothing wrong with
leaving the cross if you eliminate belief in the Trinity. You can leave it as
two bars, there is nothing wrong in that. But of course, what is meant in the
accounts that states; "the Jesus Messiah would overthrow the cross when he
comes," is this; it means that he will be eliminating that belief. Otherwise
one would also have to smash all windows. As there is a wood like this and
another one like this in all the windows at our homes, right? So there would be
no glass or frames or anything left in the neighborhoods, in the houses. You
see the "plus" sign wherever you look. So you should therefore tear
up all mathematical textbooks by that logic as they all contain "plus"
signs. It is the lifting of the idolatrous symbol they express that matters. Right?
Insha'Allah. "Master, how can I take a non-Muslim as a friend?" he
asks. You can be friends in this world. How can you preach the religion without
making friends? The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will preach. But do you expect him to
preach as an enemy? Did Our Prophet, the Messenger of Allah (saas) go and attack
Christians? He befriended them, he had them as his friends in the life of this
world. What is the sign of friendship? He took off his frock and spread it on
the ground for them to sit on. The Messenger of Allah (saas) showed respect to
them. So you would have to say he was "wrong." But you can't, because
he was right. Because that is what our Prophet (saas) did. What we are doing is
just the same as what our Prophet (saas) did. He spread it out before them and
then told them of the Oneness of Allah. First he becomes friends of this world
with them. He makes them love him and he starts talking once he has done that.
Would they have listened to his talk if they were enemies? What you are saying,
young man from Gaziantep, is "I want to talk as an enemy." Nobody
will talk to you as an enemy. You must be friends of this world. In fact, if I
were to go and investigate, I would find out that either your brother is
irreligious or your father or some other relative. You go and embrace them or go
dance with them at a wedding. Or whatever else you do with them, I don't know.
You toast them with a glass of raki in your hand. Then you come and try to give
me a piece of your mind. We cannot tell people about Islam without creating
affection in their hearts. While you talk to them, you cannot preach unless you
become friends of this world with them. You were about to destroy Islam by
becoming enemies with everyone, may Allah forbid. You were about to do that but
we stopped you. I mean, I consider all present companies excluded, it might
sound a bit offensive, but this is completely the mentality of bigotry. Don't do this. Being a friend in this world
is one thing, and a friend in the faith, in Islam, is another. Being brothers
in religion is one thing, and brothers in this world another. You can talk and
explain as a brother in this world. For instance, those ladies come here and I constantly
give them books. I give them books every day and I talk to them every day and
their hearts get warmed up towards Islam. But with that bigoted mindset of
yours, is it even possible for you to give those books to these people? Is it
even possible for you to approach them? Is it possible for them to feel warm about
Islam? Are you really that loggerhead,
are you really that dunce? Right? "What did our Prophet (saas) do?" He
went to their feasts and to their funerals. He stood up when their coffins were
carried past and spread his frock out for them to sit on. He showed respect and
then talked about Islam. That is good manners. That is how Islam is preached.
ADNAN
OKTAR: How did they bring those youngsters up? What kind of mindset is
this? I cite our Prophet (saas) as a model. He cannot say that there is something
wrong in it; but still espouses the exact opposite. Did our Prophet (saas)
spread his frock out, and have the Christians sit on it, have the Jews sit on
it, and talk to them? He did. Is that right? Yes, it is. And what are you
talking about? You are talking about something completely different. Can one
marry a Christian? One can marry the People of the Book. Can one marry a Jew, a
Jewish woman? One can also marry a Christian woman. Did the Qur'an, the book of
Allah gives us permission about this? Allah had shown this as the right path,
there are verses for that. So should I believe you, or the Qur'an? I believe in
the Qur'an. Allah says we can eat their food. Can one eat the food of an enemy,
of someone one is hostile toward? Right? This is a really strange mindset. They
were trying to destroy the religion through bigotry, but we have stopped them. With
our being instrumental, people are able to proudly live by Islam. Even that
state of relaxation you have my brother from Antep, is through the means we have
prepared for you. Khey would have smothered you, you would not even be able to breathe..
Read them to us, so that young fellow can understand.
ALTUĞ
BERKER: Insha'Allah.
I am putting this on the screen as well.
-Some
Examples of Our Prophet's (saas) Affection and Compassion toward the People of
the Book -
"The Najrani Christians
came to Medina in the afternoon and entered the al-Nabawi Mosque. The
Christians arrived when the Prophet (saas) and his Companions were still
performing the afternoon prayer and turned to the east and prepared to pray
themselves. Some Companions wanted to stop them praying, but our Prophet (saas)
commanded that they should be left alone and allowed to pray.
"During the visit of the
Najrani Christians the Prophet Muhammed (saas) spread out his frock and told
them to sit on it."
There are accounts of
Rasulullah (saas) personally attending feasts of the People of the Book,
visiting their sick and giving them presents.
Our Prophet (saas) had the
following statement written in the treaty he has had the Christian Ibn Haris
bin Kab and his people prepare; "The faith, churches, lives, honor and
goods of all Christians living in the east and west are under the protection of
Allah, the Prophet (saas) of Allah and all believers, insha'Allah". So
these are under the protection of believers; the faith, churches, lives, honor
and property of the people of the Book.
ADNAN
OKTAR: Well
my brother, they do not say I know it wrong, but they keep on talking out loud
about it. That is no good. You have to say, "You are wrong, your sources
are wrong," but they don't and can't. In that case, tell me [if you can] "there
is no such verse." Look, Almighty Allah says, "You can marry
Christian women." From the People of the Book. He says, "You can also
marry Jewish women." And what do you say? You regard these people almost as
devils. You must act according to the Qur'an. Isn't that right? You must act according
to the Sunna.
ALTUĞ
BERKER: Muslim
also describes how our Prophet (saas) rose to his feet when the funeral
procession of a Jewish woman passed by, insha'Allah.
ADNAN
OKTAR: Muslim,
sahih-i Muslim?
ALTUĞ
BERKER: Yes,
insha'Allah.
ADNAN
OKTAR: Here you are.. So come and say that this; "this
hadith is wrong"? You talk about hating people. But our Prophet (saas)
rose to his feet out of respect for the funeral procession. Not even for the
individual, but for the funeral. Think about it.. And he spreads his frock out
for them to sit on. And look at what you are saying..
