-    1- Weight-bearing: Sea-dwelling creatures have no problem in bearing their own weight in the sea. However, most land-dwelling creatures consume 40 percent of their energy just in carrying their bodies around. The fish’s bones are not linked to the backbone. Therefore they can’t take on a load-bearing function. Land-dwelli...

ADNAN OKTAR: Why should Masjid al-Aqsa be demolished? Masjid al-Aqsa will remain for all eternity. Why should it be destroyed? There is enough place there. There is a vacant land, it is a vast land.

Ignorant people often resort to demagogy to justify themselves. This is a method by which they maintain their rights, or prestige, by using emotional, dishonest or oblique arguments rather than reason.

ADNAN OKTAR: In the Armenian match there had been some points that attracted my attention. Now they have been entrusted by Allah to our safekeeping and they came here as our guests.

ADNAN OKTAR: Now, see that Israel is very much irritated from such occurrences, they get into panic. Our Jewish brothers there are also discontented.

Nothing on earth is created in vain, but rather with wisdom. Understanding this fact depends on the wisdom of people themselves.

ADNAN OKTAR: There will be two diseases among you like Ikasu’l Ganem disease. Our Prophet (saas) says in the End Times during the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as).

Messengers before you were also mocked, but those who jeered were engulfed by what they mocked. (Qur'an, 6:10) Caricatures in cartoons recently published in Denmark have caused great distress in the Muslim world. However, it is all too obvious that the figures pictured in these caricatures are the artists themselves. A number of caricatures reflecting...

No indeed! Rather what they have earned has rusted up their hearts. (Surat al-Mutaffifin, 14) The term ‘rusted’ used to describe hearts in verse of Surat al-Mutaffifin may be a reference to biochemical reaction that takes place in the heart. (Allah knows the truth.) Rust is the result of iron reacting with oxygen – oxidation. The o...

Islam is the religion of peace, love and tolerance. However, nowadays certain circles are trying to give Islamic morality the wrong image.

Islam is a religion of peace, love and tolerance. Today, however, some circles have been presenting a false image of Islam, as if there were conflict between Islam and the adherents of the two other monotheistic religions. Yet Islam's view of Jews and Christians, who are named "the People of the Book" in the Koran, is very friendly and tolerant.  ...

Accounts of peoples of ancient times comprise a rather large part of the Qur’an and contain important wisdom well worthy our reflection. When we examine individuals who lived — and were wiped out — in the past, we can see that they had no fear of Allah, despite the messages communicated to ...

In the Qur'an, it is stated that the unbeliever is one who neither recognizes nor appreciates the signs of God. The distinguishing mark of a believer is his ability to see those signs and proofs. He knows that these are not created in vain, and can realize the power and great art of God everywhere and find ways to revere Him. He is one of those men of s...
