Explanations from Surat Al-Ankabut about retrogressive people

Explanations from Surat Al-Ankabut: Retrogressive people would not ascribe the truth to the beauties of the Qur'an but to the ugliness of their idols

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated August 7^th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. Surat Al-Ankabut, verse 12: "Those who are unbelivers say to those who have faith, 'Follow our way and we will bear the weight of your mistakes.'.. " Meaning; at the moment there are people with the mentality that states; 'do not make any mention of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) or of the Unity of Islam, just perform your prayers, if there is something missing, if there is sin in that, just tell it to us, the weight of that would be upon us.'

"They will not bear the weight of a single one of their mistakes. Truly they are liars. They will bear their own burdens and other burdens together with their own. On the Day of Rising they will be questioned about what they invented."- about the superstitions- [verse 17] "Instead of Allah you worship only idols. You are inventing a lie." So He says; "you have found some scholars preaching superstitions. You constantly invent superstitions and you abide by those superstitions, you invent lies from your own mind, that are unfounded, that are not compliant with the Qur'an." Look, what does Allah say in the verse? "Instead of Allah you worship only idols. You are inventing a lie." This is what the retrogressive, bigot gang has been doing. When I say retrogressive, the knowledge coming from the past is valuable but the retrogressive people ascribe the truth to the idol thinking, not to the Qur'an. I mean they do not ascribe the truth to the knowledge from the past, to the ways of the Qur'an, the beauties of the Qur'an coming from the past but to the ugliness of the idols. "Those you worship besides Allah.. " – meaning those scholars of yours full of superstitions- "..have no power to provide for you. So seek your provision from Allah and worship Him and give thanks to Him. It is to Him you will be returned'."
