Muslims should strive for the salvation of the whole Islamic world not only for the salvation of Palestine

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated January 15^th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: During the celebrations of the [47^th] anniversary of Al-Fatah, the senior religious authority of Palestine, Mufti [Muhammed Hussein] stated: "The destiny of Muslims is to murder Jews. The Day of Judgment will only come about when Muslims kill Jews."

So he [Mufti] says; "once Jews are killed, Muslims will attain relief. There will then be no hindrance before the Turkish-Islamic Union. Everything will turn out to be splendid, this is all it takes." Well, what if you unite without murdering the Jews? What would you lose? May Allah forbid, let us assume that you have made such a massacre; what would you do afterwards? You will keep on brewing your shisha (nargeela), and lie down, scratching your tummy. Do the Jews tell you not to read the Qur'an? Do they tell you not to establish the Islamic Union? Do they want you not to struggle against Darwinism and materialism? Do the Jews hinder your way? It is your governments that make it obligatory to teach Darwinism and materialism. Do the Jewish prime ministers make it obligatory? Or do the Jewish Presidents make it obligatory? You do that yourselves; You do believe in Darwinism and materialism anyway.

 In Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Palestine.. Palestine used to be the fortress of communism. Palestine was the place where people received communist training. People all over the world used to go there to get guerilla training. Did Jews conduct the communist training there? You did. Did Jews establish the communist guerilla camps? You did. You can go nowhere by bloodshed. Allah will inflict affliction upon you if you shed blood; you will simply be on a downward spiral of troubles. Pull yourselves together. I address to all those who are pro-murder.

Jews are the descent of the prophets; Allah predestined them as Jews. They live as Jews. The Qur'an refers to them as the People of the Book. The People of the Book are under the aegis of Muslims. Their lives, possessions, honor and chastity are under the aegis of Muslims. Muslims can marry ladies from the People of the Book, they can make commerce with them, eat their food; one can't simply go and kill them. In this case, let's assume that one has a Jewish wife; will he go and kill her as well? According to this mindset, right?  They say there is a hadith which reads "Stones, trees will provide information." Notice what he [Mufti] said; "Our war is of a war with the forefathers of apes and swine." May Allah forbid, he considers the entire community of the People of the Book as apes and swine. Does Allah refer to them as "apes and swine" in the Qur'an? They are referred as "the People of the Book." Does Allah tell us to go marry apes and swine in the Qur'an?  Allah says, "Marry with the People of the Book", right? He says; "You can marry with the People of the Book." Now according to the mindset of this person, that person would be marrying an ape or a swine by doing that. Again in compliance with this mindset, their children would also become apes and swine. Does Allah tell us to go and eat the food of apes and swine or does He tell us that we can eat the food of the People of the Book? "You can eat the food of the People of the Book, you can marry with the People of the Book," says Allah. They must not misbehave, act unscrupulously. They are thus waging a war against the Qur'an; they are unaware of what they are telling. Their ears do not hear what they utter. That expression referred to a specific community of the time that revolted against Allah. "Be apes and swine." Right now Allah also turns the bigots into apes and swine. Whoever wages a war against Allah and the Qur'an, that person turns into an ape or a swine. Therefore it is haram (unlawful) to say that stones and trees will point to every Jew and you will kill Jews altogether, whether a girl, woman or a child. This is unbecoming for a Muslim to utter; it is an encouragement to massacre, to a genocide. It is persecution and it is wholly in contradiction with the Qur'an. Allah would not command us to go and kill them after telling us that we can marry them. Allah would not tell us to go kill them after He tells us that we can eat their meals. If Allah calls them "the People of the Book", then He does not tell us to go and kill them. "Stones and trees providing information" is a sign that refers to the structuring of the security intelligence at the End Times. I recently said that as well. I said that secret cameras should be installed in rocks and trees to be used in the technical surveillance of the terror organization of the PKK. Indeed it is currently being done. One may be a Jew or a Christian, a Muslim or a Buddhist. If he is immoral, someone committing persecution, then he must be subject to technical surveillance and arrested. Isn't a Muslim who is cruel also arrested? So, that is okay.. If needed, [also a Muslim] is punished. Anyone committing persecution -whether a Christian, a Buddhist or a Muslim- would be treated in compliance with the same provision.  Consequently this is not an issue peculiar to Jews. If a Jew commits a crime, he is also punished. They also punish those criminals among them, they imprison them. They penalize those criminals. They subject them to technical surveillance as well. This is a hadith that refers to the technical surveillance that will be carried out at the End Times. Or else, if one talks about the annihilation of our Jewish brothers, the descent of Prophet Abraham (pbuh), the descent of the Prophet Israel (pbuh), the descent of Prophet Joseph (pbuh) and Prophet Solomon (pbuh), solely depending on this hadith, despite the provisions of the Qur'an; then this means that this guy also rejects the verses of the Qur'an. According to this hadith, he should not adopt the other verses of the Qur'an [May Allah forbid]. That is because he can take a Jewish wife, then he will look at this hadith and say to his wife; "I learned that you are a swine, an ape", "Even if you hide behind a stone or a tree, I will kill you." He will kill his wife just before his kids, is that it? This would be a murder, a persecution and an insanity. A Muslim would never say such a thing. Under the influence of mass psychology they put forward such aberrant sentiments, such erroneous views. Such societies absorbed in grudge and envy consisting of people growing up with lack of love embrace this. Rather than getting involved in such persecution and making effort solely for the salvation of Palestine, say; "let us struggle for the salvation of the entire Islamic world. Let us demand the Unity of Islam and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). May Allah make Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) our leader". Jews await King Messiah and we are awaiting Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). They are the same person. A Muslim must say "Let us live altogether in bliss and unite." Jews must also feel comfortable, why would we kill them? May also Christians feel at ease, and so do the Muslims. May everyone feel at ease. You do not want the Unity of Islam. You are far-removed from the Unity of Islam. You do not embrace it. You do not embrace Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), the King Messiah. You do not accept the descent of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and then you say that we must act despotically. You say that we must annihilate everyone through mass-execution. Will you even stop there? Let us say you annihilated the Jews as a whole. Then it will be the turn of Christians. You will also annihilate them. Then it will be our Shia brothers' turn. The man says that he will also chop them up like leek. He says " like leek" Then you will chop the Jaferites, the Alawites, the Bektashis, the Wahabites, the Buddhists and the communists.

Almost no one will remain left on earth. You already reprehend those who are not the members of your own sect, your own community; you will also chop them up. Allah does not give way to such aberrant notions, such ideas and those have always remained as oppressed people. They have always been losers. Prosperity does not come through persecution. Persecution is not to be encouraged. There is peace, love and compassion in the Qur'an. Muslims are responsible for protecting the People of the Book. This was what was practiced in the time of our Prophet (saas). Muslims used to revere the churches, their synagogues. In the Qur'an Allah relates that churches and synagogues are under protection. They are under the protection of Muslims. They can perform their religious obligations as ever they like. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will come in the End Times will treat Jews with the original of the Torah, Christians with the original of the Gospel and Muslims with the morality of the Qur'an. This is the word of our Prophet (saas) revealed to him. This is the true word. That is why encouraging people to such erroneous convictions, views would be haram. That would be a sin, very wrong and it is a persecution. An unwise suggests an idea and big masses may follow it because they instructed the masses in compliance with rage and grudge. For instance look at Facebook; people are full of hatred, rage. Expressions of love are very scarce. I see that even young girls curse one another with sexual content. They formed abbreviations of curses, all having sexual content. They curse almost after each statement. Then they say, "Why do you say 'Insha'Allah' almost after each word? And I ask you; why do you add a curse after each word? We do add the words "Insha'Allah" and "Masha'Allah" after everything we say and you do add the abbreviations of curses with sexual content at the end of every sentence.  What you are doing is wrong; what we are doing is right. Insha'Allah.

Mr. Adnan Oktar comments to Prof. Hooshang Amirahmadi about the false belief in a bloody Mahdi

Excerpt from the live conversation of Mr. Adnan Oktar with Prof. Hooshang Amirahmadi, president of the Iran American Council, on A9 TV, November 14th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: When Bin Laden came out, he claimed to be the Mahdi and he was known to be the Mahdi and you can see that on all the web sites. The belief in a bloody Mahdi is not unique to Shiism. It exists among the Sunnis also. It exists among more reactionary and fanatic sections that misinterpret the hadiths in a deviant and wrongful way, in total bigotry. They have a belief in a Mahdi that sheds rivers of blood just with their way of thinking. That is not only in the Jafari belief, but I am saying this because it is the Shiites' turn. Osama bin Laden claimed to be the Mahdi and was regarded as the Mahdi by all his followers. America has put an end to that Mahdi. Now they are waiting for the Mahdi to come out of Iran and preparations are being made for an operation against him. Not believing what I say about that changes nothing, because, may Allah forbid, you will have to believe it when this disaster happens. I have been talking about that disaster from the beginning. Osama bin Laden was regarded as the Mahdi by all bigot circles and extremists. They regarded him as the bloody Mahdi, and applauded him and regarded his actions as highly successful. This is just how the Mahdi should be, they said. The Mahdi should definitely shed blood, they said. There are such people among Muslims also. They say the Mahdi will slaughter the Jafari and Sunni. Some fanatic bigots say the Mahdi that will come will wipe out Wahhabis, Jafari and Sunni. These are bigoted people with the same mentality. You can find that in Shiism and Jafarism, also. I never said it existed among them [Shiites] only, but I am saying that now is their turn.

ADNAN OKTAR: America also conducted an operation in Iraq and that cost America a great deal. America gained nothing in Iraq. It also conducted an operation against Afghanistan. That cost America a great deal as well, and that is why America is in this economic crisis right now. America has got nothing to gain from Afghanistan and it has not obtained anything from it yet. Yes, it has oil and minerals, but America had no such attempts for that yet. It has taken nothing of Iraq's yet. It merely made expenses. America's main approach is one of preventing major events from breaking out in the region. They think that the appearance of a Mahdi, an unanticipated Mahdi, would swamp the world in blood and therefore bring down America and the rest of the world. And that is producing a kind of panic. Osama bin Laden was hailed as a great hero in his first attempts and they prepared the way for him as a supposed Mahdi. I said they would bring him out as a Mahdi and so they did. But America put an end to him in a bloody way.

ADNAN OKTAR: The best thing is for you to come to Turkey, and I will invite leading people from Iran, people whose words have weight. I will also invite people in key positions in Israel. Let us talk together and clarify the whole issue.

PROF. HOOSHANG AMIRAHMADI: First, I want to thank Mr. Adnan Oktar for this opportunity. It was a great talk, I learned quite a bit. I take his invitation seriously, and I accept it, and when the moment arrives, I will come to Turkey, I will be more than pleased to talk to anybody that he brings to any meeting on peace and prosperity for the region. I do agree with your general concept that some unknown, ghostly figures appear on the scene at some point in our history, and do seriously harm the community. We need to certainly fight that, and stop them from coming and doing the damage they do. It's been a pleasure, I need to say goodbye, but I will listen to the last words before I say goodbye, and I again thank you for the opportunity, and look forward to our future communication, and perhaps a meeting in Istanbul.

ADNAN OKTAR: I am pleased to have met you. Insha'Allah, I wish to be of use to you. I want to be of use to Islam and the Qur'an. I am at the command of all Muslims. I am also your brother. I am the brother of the Iranians. I respect and admire them all. I value them all. I have nothing against any of them. But the leaders in Israel have also met me, they are in a warlike state of tension. They are alarmed at the prospect of a imminent nuclear war. They want me to get involved. I speak with their leaders. Let us bring you and them together. Let us bring Iranian officials in and thus obtain a good result. That is the path of reason. We are all servants of Allah, and believe in the One Allah. I think we can obtain a good outcome. My respects and affection to you all. I hope to speak with you again very soon, Insha'Allah. May Allah bless you, Salaam Alaikum.

PROF. HOOSHANG AMIRAHMADI: And I thank you, and I shake your hands, and hug you for such a great purpose. And I pray that you will be successful in serving our Muslim communities throughout the world.

ADNAN OKTAR: Thank you, Salaam Alaikum.

PROF. HOOSHANG AMIRAHMADI: Thank you. My pleasure, thank you.

Dr. Timothy Furnish asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about the Iranian viewpoint of the Hazrat Mahdi's rule

(Istanbul, December 14^th, 2008)

TIMOTHY FURNISH: Again when I was in Iran at that conference a few months ago. I heard one paper given by an Iranian scholar discussing seriously the question whether the Mahdi and the twelve Imams, of course according to the Iranian view. When the Mahdi and the twelve Imam come, and I am asking the question in this paper by the Iranian scholar, will the Mahdi kill Jews and Christians or simply convert them? And he did say that would probably convert them but he wasn't sure. And then at the end of the conference Ali Larijani, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, gave a speech in which he quoted one of the Imams, I believe it was the sixth imam, that the Mahdi's rule will only come about through bloodshed and violence. Now I know you have already spoken about the wrong views of the Hizb ut-Tahrirs and the Al-Qaidas of the world, but would you respond in the same way, I guess is my question, to the Iranian viewpoint, at least the viewpoint that I saw expressed in Iran when I was there among some scholars?

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, this are not statement that are based on hadith, or based on the Qur'an. These have gradually altered over the course of time, and are accounts that are not truly reliable hadith. The main characteristic of the Mahdi (pbuh) is that he does not shed blood, but is affectionate and compassionate and acts in a rational manner. He says that the Mahdi (pbuh) will even conquer Istanbul, but with the takbir, in other words by calling on Allah. No mentioning of shedding blood there. Said Nursi says that the materialist, Darwinist system will grow as he describes the Mahdi (pbuh). He says the Mahdi (pbuh) will entirely eradicate the materialist-Marxist system. He says he will eliminate the materialist-Darwinist system intellectually and scientifically. He says that books will be prepared to that end, he will prepare them and the books will fully discharge that function. He will be active in that respect, in summary. And he says he will start doing this in the year 1400 (hegira style). But he says that not even the Mahdi (pbuh) will know himself. He says his close disciples will recognize him through the light of faith. The same is also valid for Jesus (pbuh). He will not be aware of himself when he first returned but the close disciples of the Jesus will recognize him through the light of faith. That is why the description of the Mahdi there is rather more appropriate to that of the dajjal. I mean the Mahdi (pbuh) is not someone cruel, a shedder of blood, loveless and ruthless. We are told he will not waken the sleeper nor spill blood. Imagine the sleeping man; he will take great care to let him sleep. Don't touch him, let him sleep, he will say. That is the kind of scrupulous person he is. We are told even the birds in the air and the fish in the sea will be happy with him. It is wrong to depict such an affectionate person as violent. There is no account to that effect. The Prophet (saas) has made no such statement. And it is incompatible with the spirit of the Qur'an. In addition, violence leads only to hypocrisy. It results in insincere people. Nobody can be forced to be a Muslim. That is done through love, and affection, and moderation. A person will either accept it or not. If not, that is his decision. That is how Allah has created him, and that, too, is for the best. 

Dr. Timothy Furnish asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about the perception of the West in the Islamic Union

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Conversation with Dr. Timothy Furnish, Istanbul, December 14^th, 2008

TIMOTHY FURNISH: There are some in the West, in the United States and in Europe particularly, who probably would see an Islamic Union as a threat. What would you say to anyone who might see it that way?

ADNAN OKTAR: This is a union that removes threat. It is a system that eliminates terror, violence and the concept of hostility toward other countries, that eliminates racial and religious hostility. There is a huge respect for other faiths in this system, and a feeling of protecting them, deep respect and affection for them and a conception of love, and a desire for all countries to be strong, healthy and at peace. There is no idea of any country being brought down, but one of all countries remaining healthy and good, of every country having its own color and beauty. That is why it is a system that eliminates threats. Because it is a system with no racial superiority, but one that is exceedingly respectful of other faiths.

It is very important to keep the Unity of Islam on the agenda because the Unity of Islam is a religious obligation

Christian author Joel Richardson asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about Jesus Christ's (pbuh) second coming

Christian author Joel Richardson asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about Jesus Christ's (pbuh) second coming

(Istanbul, 22 June 2009)

JOEL RICHARDSON:  Okay thank you. With regard to Jesus; you have said “in my view the prophet Jesus has already returned to the earth but he is hidden. He is obliged to conceal himself because of the terrorist and political attacks he would be exposed to. However he too will emerge in the very near future and together with the Mahdi will embark upon his intellectual struggle.” Do you believe that when Jesus return he will abolish Christianity as we know it today, do you believe that he will abolish the doctrines of the trinity of the divine incarnation of the Messiah as well as the Christian doctrine that the Christ was crucified died resurrected and sent to heaven?

ADNAN OKTAR: The essential belief in Christianity is the Oneness of Allah, belief in the hereafter, justice, the idea that Allah will provide justice. It is loving Allah and being careful over what is lawful and unlawful. It is treating people well. These are other matters, the belief in Trinity and other things. If with the coming of the Jesus, if it undergoes a change in the sense we are familiar with then Christianity would return to its former perfect state. It will return to its original form. According to our beliefs, it will return to the true Christianity. Again according to our belief, the original and the true Bible will also be found in that time. Maybe they will examine it using the Carbon 14 technique or using other methods, but the original form of the Gospels will be found. I mean, when the prophet Jesus comes and says that Allah is One, that is not something that will do away with Christianity. He would be saying something that reinforces Christianity. I mean, Christianity is in any case a religion of Islam. If we had lived in the time of the Prophet Jesus, we would have been Christians as well. If we had been around in the time of the Prophet Musa, we would have been Jews. Consequently the religion of the Prophet Ibrahim was also the true deen at the time and unaltered Christianity brought by the Prophet Jesus is the true Christianity. The Torah and the religion brought by the Prophet Musa is also the true faith, but according to our belief it has gradually been altered over the course of time. When the Prophet Jesus comes-  there are some Christians sects that are against the Cross. They do not have the Cross. I believe there are even some such sects and various groups in America.  But they still say “We are Christians,” I mean this does not stop them being Christians.  In other words, it is their believing in the Oneness of Allah and in the statements of the Prophet Jesus on other matters, their acceptance of statements compatible with the Qur’an, that makes them truly Christian and that makes them a true Muslim, it makes their belief a true religion of Islam.

In our belief, when the Prophet Jesus comes he will correct certain altered aspects of the New Testament. He will restore the New Testament to its original form and consequently he will be following the Qur’an. That is to say a New Testament whose altered aspects have been corrected will in any case be restored to its pure and original form. But since the Qur’an is the final scripture, of course the Prophet Jesus will follow the Qur’an. But the pronouncements of the New Testament will not be invalidated. I mean the pronouncements of a true scripture will not be lifted. For example, the true pronouncements of the original form of the Torah will not be invalidated; I read the Torah night and day, for instance. I read the New Testament. There is no reason for those pronouncements to be lifted. For example, the Torah says that Allah is One. That delights me, it is a most excellent thing to say. Only those parts that are incorrect according to our belief will be put right. Otherwise no pronouncement of that book can be lifted. But I follow the Qur’an, of course. And when the Prophet Jesus comes he will also follow the Qur’an. But Muslims will also benefit from the New Testament and will read it. They will abide by the correct pronouncements in it. And they will abide by the correct pronouncements in the Torah as well. Because all three, the Qur’an, the Torah and the New Testament, say the same things, so if you comply with one you would be complying with all. A Christian who complies with the original New Testament does not leave Christianity rather consolidates it. When the New Testament turns into its original form I will abide by it too.  Of course I follow the Qur’an, but I also apply the correct and proper pronouncements in the New Testament. I will also apply the correct and proper pronouncements in the Torah when it is found, and if there are parts of it that have been changed by the pronouncements of the Qur’an, then of course I follow the Qur’an. But I comply by all those pronouncements that are the same in all three.

Lalit K. Jha of Indo Asian News Agency asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about the conflict in Kashmir

Lalit K. Jha of Indo Asian News Agency asks Mr. Adnan Oktar about the conflict in Kashmir

(Indo Asian News Agency (IANS) - November 14^th, 2008)

LALIT K. JHA: India and Pakistan has a conflict in Kashmir. Being an Islamist leader, what is your view on resolving that conflict?

ADNAN OKTAR: Mutual compassion, love and tolerance, because a person does not feel happy with a piece of land. One is happy with love and faith. Love felt for human beings, faith, mutual understanding, mutual trust will I think solve these problems. For instance, I guess that you are a Hindu, but you are my brother, I feel compassion and affection for you. You are also a servant of Allah and I respect your views and your faith. Consequently I do not have any feelings of animosity towards you. And I think a Muslim also thinks in the same way. If there is a piece of land, for instance, there is no need to quarrel over it whether it belongs to one or the other. Both sides should agree on the most honest, the most sincere, and the most rational situation. The most conscientious decision should be adopted. Then the matter will be resolved, but of course there should be a referee. The fact is that, there is a need for people from the outside. That is to say, arbitration is important in such matters.

LALIT K. JHA: So you are basicly supporting a peaceful dialogue between India and Pakistan with possibly a third party to ensure this peace in the country. This brings me to the role of Turkey in playing the role of in between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Turkey being possibly a third party to ensure peace between those countries. How do you see the Turkey's role in Afghanistan and the conflict that is going on there?

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, there needs to be a very strong cultural policy there. That is to say, love, compassion, friendship, forgiveness, tolerance, being well mannered,  brotherhood and beauty should be propagated. We should propagate to have beauty and aesthetics all around us. These values need to be communicated to people. Everyone feels comfortable when such an environment is secured. That is to say, you are a Hindu, for instance, another person might be a Budhist or another person might have adopted another belief. Allah created all of us with various beliefs. Yet all of us are brothers, that is to say, Allah creates it this way. In other words, people live their lives in the way they are created by Allah. For this reason, beautiful environments, beautiful words, and beautiful speech remove the tension, urge people to a more peaceful, affectionate life. The world is large enough to provide room for everyone. The world is not a place for so much fight and conflict. This is a place to worship Allah, an environment to earn the pleasure of Allah.

Mr. Adnan Oktar explains Alexander Murinson that we are living in the time of King Messiah

(A9 TV, November 11^th, 2011)

ADNAN OKTAR: It is now the time of the King Messiah, the Shiloh. Both according to the Torah and according to the hadiths, there is no time other than this. We are at the End of Times, we are at the treshold of the Last Day. Apart from this century there is no other time for the appearance of the King Messiah. There is no other time for the arrival of the Mahdi. The foundation of the state of Israel is itself a portent of the arrival of the Mahdi, the Moschiah. All the portents defined in the Torah have been realized. All the portents defined in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) have been realized. The weapons will be removed, the armings will stop from that on. The money spent of weapons will be directed to the natural needs like food and clothing of the poor and the needy. From that point on the dissension and anarchy would decrease gradually and disappear.  

The 7 thousand years mentioned in the hadiths as the lifespan of the world refers to the beginning of a calendar

The 7 thousand years mentioned in the hadiths as the lifespan of the world refers to the beginning of a calendar

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated December 12^th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: Well, this friend of ours has been obsessed with this matter; we've been explaining it time after time and they still fail to understand. They've been saying ; "Master you are talking about many million years old fossils,  there is a link in your website which shows a fifteen thousand years old fossil." My brother that seven thousand years does not mean that the world has been created only seven thousand years ago. That is a calendar of seven thousand years. Now we are in 2011, are we not?

PRESENTER: Yes.

ADNAN OKTAR: Has the world been created 2011 years ago? No, it has not. It is 1433 according to the Hegira calendar. So has the world been created 1433 years ago? No, it has not.  This seven thousand years is a calendar. The creation of the Prophet Adam (pbuh) dates back to approximately 200 thousand years or so, in my opinion. I mean it should be about 150 thousand to 200 thousand years ago, or let us say it was 100 thousand years ago.  Insha'Allah. I mean it is about those dates. Insha'Allah. That is because they are unable to make such a precise and definitive determination. But it is about that much..

As a characteristic of the time of the King Messiah (Hazrat Mahdi), the Israeli and Turkish nations will mix with each other (From the interview with the Israeli Researcher-Author Mr. Alexander Murinson)

As a characteristic of the time of the King Messiah (Hazrat Mahdi), the Israeli and Turkish nations will mix with each other (From the interview with the Israeli Researcher-Author Mr. Alexander Murinson)

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated October 11th, 2011

ALEXANDER MURINSON: Yes. I actually wrote a book, published a book in England which is called, "Turkey's Entente With Israel and Azerbaijan" and this book was part of my dissertation, my doctoral dissertation in London and in this book I make the claim that Turkey, Israel and I wrote specifically about Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani people are uniquely endowed to be very,  extremely very close allies, because of the historical and because of the historical warmth between these three people, so it's a logical extension in the modern times, in the modern context of international relations that this union which was propagated in 1999 but I think that as you mentioned with respect that a lot of tensions which have been noted in the media need to be calmed down and the media  should send a message of calm and confidence in this special gift of friendship between Turkish and Israeli people.

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, what is practiced is important. In practice there is no tension in between peoples; in between the Turkish people and the Israeli people. But there might be some political discussions, political tensions in between governments. This is not something binding for the peoples, it is not something that fundamentally effects them. There is nothing that changed, on the contrary Israeli people and the Turkish people have drawn even closer to each other and are in an emotional state that coalesces with each other even further. That is because, this is the specialty of the time of King Messiah. That will happen anyway. I mean Allah does this even if people do not want to.. I mean that is a very wondrous time. The time [we are living in] is an extra-ordinary time. Allah influences the hearts of people with His name al-Jabbar. Willingly or unwillingly people will all enter into this affection, this unity. The people of Israel, as you know, have been waiting for the Messiah for 3000 years. It is now the time of the King Messiah, the Shiloh. Both according to the Torah and according to the hadiths, there is no time other than this. We are at the End of Times, we are at the threshold of the Last Day. Apart from this century there is no other time for the appearance of the King Messiah. There is no other time for the arrival of the Mahdi. The foundation of the state of Israel is itself a portent of the arrival of the Mahdi, the Moschiah. All the portents defined in the Torah have been realized. All the portents defined in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) have been realized. The weapons will be removed, the arming will stop from that on. The money spent of weapons will be directed to the natural needs like food and clothing of the poor and the needy. From that point on the dissension and anarchy would decrease gradually and disappear.

Hypocrites come among the Muslims like a snake and they leave like a snake

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated September 28th, 2011 

ADNAN OKTAR: Men and women hypocrites, yes.. Hypocrites by the Wisdom of Allah consider appearing like a Muslim to be very important. Even though they are irreligious, even though they hate religion they insistently desire to look like Muslims and they without fail act as a group. Hypocrites cannot leave one another. They leave the Muslim community; they leave the Muslim group; hypocrites are tumors among them [Muslims], they are like a cancerous tumor and Allah rips that tumor apart but that tumor survives like the tail of a lizard, it does not die. It goes again and establishes a small colony outside. They still quarrel among themselves like dogs. They hate each other but they do not separate. They continue to live like a colony and again continue to make propaganda against the Muslims, they try to gather information against the Muslims, and they denounce Muslims in here and there. They strive to perform that evil task. And they talk about Allah and religion in the meantime. I mean as a characteristic they continue to do these simultaneously, as the Wisdom of Allah.  Yes you go on..

PRESENTER: Astagfirullah.. The hypocrites of the time used to cast slanders against His Highness Bediuzzaman as well, and they were attacking in their own minds. And the Master explains the betrayal of hypocrites with a very erudite and a very nice manner insha'Allah. "Those who help the ruthless are among the ones who are competent of despicableness in this world. Dogs are the ones who enjoy serving the ruthless. Yes some are acting like a snake, some are acting like a dog. In such a blessed night, while blessed guests are on a blessed prayer, the slap in the meaning of this poem, of course, serves right to those sleuthing and denouncing us and attacking us as if we are committing a murder. " Letters, 345. Masha'Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, I mean, they really are like snakes. They come among the Muslim community like a snake and they leave like a snake and they act like a snake. Yet they have an evil intelligence. That is why, not everyone can handle hypocrites. I mean they have an evil determination and evil effort. They feel hatred towards the Muslims with an insane rage. They spend their money, their wealth, all their means always in this direction; that is to harm Islam, but they do so under the guise of defending Islam and they continue to do that under the guise of mentioning the name of Allah.  What is more they are enemies to one another as well. This is a very important characteristic of theirs. Allah says that their hearts are irreconcilable. They constantly seek to gather information about the Muslims from the outside. Allah says; "They wait to hear your news from the outside". This is a characteristic of the hypocrite. They boast about their possessions, they boast about their wealth, they boast about their income, they boast about their family, they boast about their profits, they boast about their flesh and bones, they boast about their education; yet they only cannot boast about preaching the religion, they cannot boast about the struggling in the Way of Allah, they cannot boast about spreading the religion of Allah, they cannot boast about their being victorious over the satan. Apart from these the hypocrite boasts about everything. This is a characteristic of theirs. They cannot boast about defending the Union of Islam, they cannot boast about advocating the Turkish-Islamic Union, they cannot boast about defending Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), they cannot boast about talking about the coming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). The appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the coming of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) are means of torment for hypocrites.  This is the subject matter they most fiercely argue against, this is one of those matters that suffocate them. That is because they both- both the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh)  and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)- are anti-hypocrites; hypocrites are very fiercely hostile towards both of these two holy people

Belief in a Ghost Mahdi harms Muslims

Belief in a Ghost Mahdi harms Muslims

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated September 12th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: "As-salamun Alaykom my dear Master Mohammed Ali Adnan. The information that is sent to you about the subject matter concerning the system of the Mahdi in the Shia belief is totally erroneous, insha'Allah.  That is because when we look into the Shia belief we see that there is no such belief. There is yet a belief that states Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would withdraw for ghaybat (occultation) but the belief which states that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) would be lost in a well while he is still a child is erroneous. Would you please make this matter an agenda and make this explanation about the Shia belief. There is no such belief in Shia, there has never ever been,"  he says insha'Allah. " We are waiting for his appearance. There is a belief that states he would be unseen for a while but.." Yet my dear one, is that not the same belief? "There is no such belief which states that he would come out from a well," and here you say; "he has somehow become unseen." You say "he has gone into a well and been lost," you say and that is even more dangerous.  In a well you might think that his skeleton would be found in the least, but that is not the case. You say "there is no well, he is a spirit." I mean he has gone into a cave and came out from that cave as a spirit and has enwrapped the whole world [you say]. I mean that belief exists, that exists and it is a very grave, very gross danger. Look you have made a country like Turkey, which loves Iran as much as herself, obliged to build a missile defense system. The only reason for that is the belief in the Ghost Mahdi, there is no other reason. He says; "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) has appeared to me." What would you do then? Here you are, he says; "he appeared to me as a light." What would we do if he says he told me to "hang and cut them off."

And in the Shia accounts, in contrast to the hadiths of our Prophet (saas),  in contrary to the statements of our Prophet (saas), it is said that "Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will shed blood in streams." It is stated that "he would soak a great part of the world in the sea of blood." Here you go.. When one says he had appeared in the form of light, what would we then do? He would say; he [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] went into the cave, came out of there as a spirit, he had withdrew to an occultation; he is living as a spirit for hundreds of years; he gets in everyone's houses as a spirit and appears as a soul,  one day he would appear to the state executives, soldiers, chief of staff as a spirit and give orders to them." And that is what has been said about him, then here you go, the trouble is at the door. Mohammed Mahdi (pbuh) our Prophet (saas) has been talking about is compassionate, merciful, he does not shed blood, he does not want even shed a drop of blood; The Messenger of Allah (saas) says; "He would not even cause any one's nose to bleed." Who says this? Suyuti says this, Ibh Hajad al-Haytami al-Makki say this. Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibn-i Majah, Sunan an-Nasai, Sunan ad-Dawud, this is mentioned in all hadiths books. Do not do this, this is so clear.  I mean if we get into this matter, I can prove this to you. Do not tell me ; "there is no such thing," because there is. There is such a belief and that is quite extensive. We are in a grave trouble, there needs to be a precaution taken in the face of this, insha'Allah.  

References to the system of the Mahdi from the Surah Yusuf: The system of the dajjal (anti-messiah) is clear-cut enemy of man

Errors of Iran's propaganda film about the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), ''The coming is upon us''.

IRAN’S PROPAGANDA FILM ABOUT THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH), “THE COMING IS UPON US,” SET TO BE BROADCAST IN 2011

This film was made by the office of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Basij militia, the volunteer force of Iran. It was shown to the Revolutionary Guards and senior clergy by the Iranian state in 2011. 

• • The Coming is Upon Us

• • Peace on the Mahdi, beloved of all living things in the earth and sky,

• • And peace to all those who prepare for his coming and await the rising of the Sun with great hope.

• • Scrutiny of the hadiths resolves the mysteries about Hazrat Mahdi’s appearance.

IRAN’S ERRONEOUS INTERPRETATIONS OF THE HADITHS ABOUT THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh)

Error 1: The belief that Jerusalem has to be captured by armies and that Israel must be destroyed in order for Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) to appear

• • They asked Imam Ali: “Will these scourges and disorder last long?”

• • Imam Ali replied: “No, until the Arabs rid themselves of others’ influence, take back control and possess a powerful determination.”

• • At that time they shall conquer the land of Palestine, and the Arabs will be victorious and united.

• • Then additional forces will arrive from the land of Iraq with flags which have “Al Kuwwat” written on it.

• • “The current Palestinian generation will witness the defeat of Israel.” – Iranian newspaper Kayhan

• • They attacked Lebanon; that was a mistake.

• • They attacked Gaza; that was a mistake.

• • They attacked the boats; that was a mistake.

• • These mistakes, one after another, show that the murderous Zionist regime of Israel is reaching the final fall and destruction of its own non-existence.

• • “With the start of a new war, the destruction of Israel is certain.” – Nassrollah, Iranian newspaper Kayhan

• • The annihilation of the Zionist regime and the conquering of Baitul Maqdis [Jerusalem] is one of the most important events in the age of the coming.

Error 2: The belief that the soldiers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) must wage an armed struggle against the way of the dajjal [anti-messiah]

• • The events in Iran on the threshold of the coming.

• • According to trustworthy hadiths, one major sign of the imminence of the coming is a revolution in Iran, and this will prepare the conditions for the activities that will be set in motion across the world for the coming of the last Messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)].

• • A man from the city of Qom will call people to the truth;

• • There will be people with iron hearts around him.

• • Storms will not weaken them.

• • They will not be wearied by war, nor frightened of waging it.

• • “I can see the victims of oppression emerging from the East and demanding justice, but when this is not granted them, they will draw their swords and oppose the foe. Thus they will enjoy success. But they will not be satisfied until everyone rises up and regards the last Messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] as the guide to truth, and those of them who are killed will be martyrs!” -- Imam Muhammad Baqir

Error 3: The belief that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will need a powerful army in order to appear

• • The hadiths describe particular characteristics and signs of ‘Sayyid Horasani.’

• • A courageous man from Bani Hashem people will emerge from the province of Khorasan with black flags and has a sign in his right hand.

• • Seyed Khorasani will hand over the flag of Islam to the last messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)].

• • Seyed Khorasani has a strong and mobilized army.

• • Seyed Khorasani is a leader of the people who rise up from the East.

• • Shouldn’t Seyed Khorasani have a strong army in order to be victorious in the intense wars to take place before the coming?

• • The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses modernized warships.

• • It has hundreds of modernized bomber planes.

• • It has thousands of modernized rocket launchers.

• • And millions of volunteer soldiers willing to be martyred.

• • It [Iran] has become one of the greatest powers in the Middle East.

• • Following a meeting with leaders of the Zionist regime, the American Chief of the General Staff announced that, the option of a military confrontation is no longer possible.

• • The great majority of Iranian religious scholars believe that the Sayyid.

• • Many of the scholars believe that Seyed Horasani spoken of in the hadiths refers to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Error 4: The belief that a military alliance is needed in the war against evil

• • Another key name in the time of the Coming is 'Yemeni'. His presence is another portent that the Coming is close at hand.

• • Some scholars believe that this person known as the 'Yemeni' is Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah.

• • Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah has a banner of jihad beloved by both Shiites and Sunnis.

• • Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah regards himself as a soldier of Imam Khamenei.

• • So it is clear that Sayyid Horasani and the forces of the 'Yemeni' will stage the revolution against satan.

Error 5 : The belief that Mahmud Ahmadinejad will capture Jerusalem with his armies before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)

• • Another significant figure in the time of the Coming is Shuaib Bin Saleh.

• • According to the hadiths, Shuaib will go into action 72 months before the Coming.

• • Shuaib will be given the post of commander in chief by Sayyid Horasani.

• • Could Doctor Ahmadinejad be Shuaib bin Saleh, the great commander of Islam before the Coming [of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)]?

• • According to the hadiths, Shuaib will be confirmed in his post by Sayyid Horasani, and will be made the commander of Iranian military forces when the Coming is imminent.

• • There are several hadith that point to Shoeib’s final goal of conquering Baitul Maqdis [Jerusalem], and that this holy land will be conquered by him and his forces when the coming is very close at hand.

Error 6: Their awaiting the death of Saudi King Abdullah and disorder in Saudi Arabia for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)

• • According to the hadiths, following the death of a leader called Abdullah, disputes and a power struggle will intensify in Saudi Arabia and these will continue until the coming of the last Messiah, the Mahdi.

• • It is striking that there has not been a King of Saudi Arabia called Abdullah for the last 100 years.

• • The presence of a king named Abdullah, and his sickness and his uncertain condition, are great glad tidings for those excitedly awaiting the Coming.

• • When the death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is confirmed, it will confirm that the Coming of the Mahdi is imminent.

• • The Coming is certain once King Abdullah dies.

  

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not cause one drop of blood to be shed and will not waken the sleeper

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a man of peace who avoids war. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will cause the moral values of the Qur’an to rule the world, not by war, but with love and telling people of Allah:

Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will follow in the path of the Prophet (saas), AND HE WILL NOT WAKEN THE SLEEPING MAN, AND NO BLOOOD WILL BE SHED. (Portents of Doomsday, p. 163)

IN HIS [HAZRAT MAHDI’S (pbuh)] TIME, NOBODY WILL BE WOKEN FROM HIS SLEEP AND NOBODY’S NOSE WILL BE MADE TO BLEED. (El Kavlu'l Muhtasar Fi Alamatil Mehdiyy-il Muntazar, p. 44)

He will eradicate hatred and enmity... He will fill the world with peace as a bowl is filled with water. There will be unity of religion, and none other than Allah will be worshiped. The people of war will abandon their weapons. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)

Allah makes every incident instrumental for the global dominion of Islam

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated October 9th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: Allah does not need to test us. That is because He is the One Who creates all those that we do. The moment [we live in] is an infinitely short period of time. I mean the infinitely small period of time is called the moment. Allah created the infinitely long time within the infinitely short time and is done with it all. Look, [I seek refuge with Allah from the satan]; Allah says "But you will not will unless Allah wills," in the verse. Allah says; "No kind of calamity might occur except by the permission of Allah." That is to say when a calamity will occur, first Allah would definitely will for it and it will only occur following that. What does this mean? Allah says; "I create everything." The essence, the truth of the matter is this; Allah is showing us what we actually are. He makes us love ourselves. We are thus being witness to our own characters; we are thus seeing our own personalities. Insha'Allah when we go to the Heaven, Heaven will then be very much meaningful for us. "I have struggled, I have strived, I have suffered, I have done all kinds of sacrifices for the good pleasure of Allah, I have been patient and I have been generous," one says. In fact Allah is the One Who does all those things; but people then take pleasure in this, they like it in the Hereafter. These are all created as a kind of decoration for us to enjoy in the Hereafter, in the Heaven. For instance Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) appears. Allah first undermines Islam, undermines the Ottoman Empire. And then He makes Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) appear and makes Islam dominate the world. That is an amazing excitement, Allah gives people a feeling of achievement as if they are the ones who did all those. Of course Allah is the One Who creates. Now in the Heaven Allah will say; "that is the Mahdi. This is Hasan, this is Hussain and this is Hazrat Ali." And thus a reason for love would be formed. A reason for excitement. Then [the appearance of] Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) becomes meaningful. The [coming of] Prophet Jesus (pbuh) would then be meaningful. For instance the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is taken to the skies. Then he will be brought back to this world. Now is this not very exciting? That is a pleasantness, a color in our world, a beauty. Allah makes all those for them to become a color, a beauty for us. Or else Allah knows all those that we will do. For instance terror, anarchy and all those are created by Allah. Everything, all those incidents are created by Allah specifically to become instrumental for the global dominion of Islam. That is because people are generally a bit languorous, they are a bit inclined to laziness. Allah says in the verse that "man is created as weak." People are created as weak. If you let them be, they would instantly want to sleep. There is a joke people keep telling; "I wish the night would come so that I can sleep." That is how they are. People are this much inclined to languidness, they are inclined to laziness. Bugs for instance are very lively if you pay attention. The ants etc. right ? They are full of life. But people are not like that. People are generally a bit exhausted. They instantly become tired. They are very delicate creatures. They can either get flu, or cold, or get tired or get languid. They wake up in the morning and can hardly compose themselves. They drink tea, coffee and try to compose themselves like that. When comes the night they instantly want to sleep. They feel the need to wash their hands and faces, clean their noses, clean their ears, they have to wash their hands all the time. They have to wash their bodies, they have to wash their hair. They constantly need to give water to their bodies as much water as they need. They would die otherwise. Even if they cut consuming proteins, even with the lack of animal protein might kill them, they can't stand scarcity. The body would become ill and die. For instance when there is deficiency of some certain vitamin types they might become ill and die. The vitamin level should be accurate. Mineral; for instance one might die because of calcium deficiency. He might die of magnesium deficiency; it has to be accurate as well. One might die of potassium deficiency and one might die from excessive potassium. One might die because of salt deficiency; one might die of excessive salt. That is how delicate they are. Tumors could occur every moment in any part of the body. Cancer might be formed in any part of the body any moment. One might die in a moments time if his blood pressure rises up; one might die with the dropping of blood pressure. Some people struggle with the dropping of blood pressure; blood pressure drops to 2 and make one go into a shock and die, may Allah forbid. Or, the pressure drops to 1 and he goes into a shock and die. One's blood tension might go up and makes him die. His heart might stop without any obvious reason and he dies ex nihilo. Or it might stop with a reason; a clot might cause clogging in his heart and he might die. For instance one might have an intestinal knot and die. There are hundreds, thousands of reasons of death for a person. Man is a very weak creature. But bugs and animals are not like that; they are very durable. Their bodies are robust. Allah doesn't say that for animals for instance; He does not say that animals "are created as weak". Allah specifically says that "man is created as weak." But nevertheless people are very much inclined to become committed to this world. Allah creates all these specifically so that they can distance themselves from the world. I mean a human's daily needs, natural needs etc. for instance the menstruation of women etc. are specifically created by Allah so that people cannot develop egocentricity, so that they cannot become arrogant. 

Turkey will unite with Greece insha'Allah but it will be by means of the system of the Mahdi

The ranks of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will be very high because they will both come in the fiercest period of the End Times

The ranks of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will be very high because they will both come in the fiercest period of the End Times  

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated September 10th, 2011 

ADNAN OKTAR: Tamer asks; "Do the Shias believe that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come as a- may Allah forbid- "ghost" as well?" No. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) has been taken to a dimension, to a different dimension. He has been taken to the skies, to the Sight of Allah and he will be brought to this world from that dimension. That is expounded in the verse; it is explained in the verses of the Qur'an.

But Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a guide and servant. He is a guardian and servant sent to people by Allah. Just as the prophets that have come in the past as the Qur'an tells, just as the imams [religious leaders] who strove on the path of Allah have come and described; he is a blessed and immaculate servant among those. In the End Times, Allah sends Hazrat Mahdi (as), a saintly servant, as the last guide, the greatest guide of all times. Since he will come in the most intense period of the End Times his rank will be very high. Because he will have to strive against hypocrites on one side and against unbelievers and the system of the dajjal [anti-messiah] and the way of the sufyan; against Darwinism, materialism and against perverse movements and thoughts. The armies of satan and iblis [devil] will be directed against him in such disordered environment. Hypocrites and the lot of bigots will oppose him with all their might. That is why his rank will be very high. That is because it is very difficult. Bediuzzaman says, "he requires patience and fortitude. Otherwise he will remain barren and do harm." He will wage a powerful struggle since he is very patient and possesses great fortitude and faith. And Allah will open the way before him, insha'Allah.
