1-    WORLD DOMINION PROMISED TO THE PROPHET ABRAHAM (PBUH) AND HAZRAT MAHDI (PBUH) IS IN THE LINEAGE OF PROPHET ABRAHAM (PBUH)

ADNAN OKTAR’S VATAN TV INTERVIEW (March 15, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Messiah mentioned in the Torah is Hazrat Mahdi  (pbuh) and is explained in detail there. It is the same in the hadith of our Prophet (saav).  Similar happenings will take place. That is it. This means world dominion of B’nei Israel is actually the world dominion of Muslims. But B’nei Israel does not consist of irreligious or atheist people. It is the Prophet Abraham’s (pbuh) lineage that is intended to rule the world. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a descent of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is also from the lineage of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Muslims are children of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) in a spiritual sense. Therefore the ones who love Allah, who love the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), who love Islam will rule the earth. This indicates supremacy of the Qur’an all over the world and this is what we understand from B’nei Israel’s world dominion as described in the Torah. This will come about because the Qur’an reveals this fact. This is so since the atheist zionists or contemptible communists are not intended in the Torah. In fact they are described as harlots and disgraced in the Torah, and we learn in the Qur’an that Allah inflicts troubles on them. Allah says they will be retributed and believers will prevail in the end. B’nei Israel is actually the believers and that phrase is another name for the believers.

2-    MAJORITY OF JEWS WILL BECOME MUSLIMS WHEN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS FOUND

ADNAN OKTAR’S KRAL KARADENİZ TV INTERVIEW (January 30, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Since the original Torah will be found and the original Gospel will be found as well as the Ark of the Covenant. This is one of the most significant events in the history of the world. The finding of the Ark of the Covenant is an incident that will stir up the world, that is a great occurrence. This is a massive ark made of the purest gold with two long handholds and two child figures with wings on it. . The Prophet Moses’ (pbuh) sacred articles and his rod are in this chest along with some other items. But the Ark of the Covenant is hidden and preserved at the moment. It will be put forth during the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and opened before the eyes of all people. Upon this event almost the entirety of Jews will embrace Islam, because the original scripture of the Torah will be discovered and Jews will witness the morals and elucidation of the Qur’an contained by the Torah. We see that time is getting closer Insha’Allah.

3-     ADNAN OKTAR’S VIEWS ON THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AND ANTISEMITISM

ADNAN OKTAR'S INTERVIEW WITH EL SIGLO (SPAIN) (June 11, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: I like Christians very much. I also like Jews very much. As a result of our work, young people in Israel have returned to religion on a large scale. Judaism has become much stronger in Israel.

REPORTER: Could we then understand you are advocating Judaism in your books?

ADNAN OKTAR: I want a Jew to be a good Jew. I want a Christian to be a good Christian. I want a Muslim to be a good Muslim. Let the churches be filled with Christians, and the synagogues with Jews. I want mosques to be filled with Muslims. I want everyone to love Allah and realize His existence.

ADNAN OKTAR'S GUARDIAN INTERVIEW (April 3, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: I am the exact opposite of an anti-Semite. I love the Jews very much because they are descended from a prophet. They are descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). I am also descended from the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). It is impossible for me to be hostile to them, because that would mean being hostile to the lineage of a prophet. What I am against is irreligious, atheist Zionist thinking.  But otherwise I love devout Jews very much. I have a high esteem for them. Everyone knows that.

ADNAN OKTAR'S THE WALL STREET JOURNAL INTERVIEW (March 6, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: As a religious person and a devout Muslim, there is nobody else that look after the Jews, love them and take them as friends as much as me. Just recently my Rabbi friend was here in Istanbul with me and now he left. When I told him about our imminent union and alliance, that is the Turkish Islamic Union, and how they would live in comfort, his eyes filled with tears and delight. Since I know that Jews are descent of the prophets, I have deep love, affection and admiration towards them. On the contrary there is the belief in Christian faith of slaughtering and eliminating the entire Jews leaving only 144,000 of them. This is a project they plan to follow through in the future.  But I rigorously oppose this thought and declare that I will never let that happen and will fight against it with all my strength. In this respect, Jews have a friendly and loving regard of me. Therefore, I do not have one word to say against Judaism. I disagree with Jews who are atheist zionists and have no faith in Allah and these people consider Jews to be their foes.

ADNAN OKTAR'S INTERVIEW WITH AKŞAM NEWSPAPER (April 23, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: I have never been an anti-Semite. The Jews are a holy race descended from the prophets. They are  people descended from the prophets Abraham, Joseph and Isaac (peace be upon them all). And I have always had a profound love and enthusiasm for the Jews, and a desire to protect them. I reject and wage an intellectual struggle against the enmity and opposition toward them. It is the atheist zionists I am opposed to. That is, irreligious, atheist zionists. That is the idea I am struggling against, that and all its actions and ideology. But my love for devout Jews is plain for all to see and I show it all the time. I also feel the same fierce love toward devout Christians. The fact they love Allah and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and all the prophets is an excellent thing.

ADNAN OKTAR’S INTERVIEW WITH MAVİ KARADENİZ TV (February 3, 2009)

REPORTER: Selim Ozkan has a question for you, “Esteemed teacher, I came across your book titled Wisdom and Sound Advice from the Torah. What was your main intention in writing this book? Is there any obstacle before Jews and Muslims to live in friendship?”

ADNAN OKTAR: There are no obstacles. I prepared that book particularly to show how the Torah is compatible with the Qur’an. Jews and Muslims will unite in the future Insha’Allah, under the Turkish Islamic Union. That book was put together for addressing them and letting Muslims call on to them without difficulty. This means we will be able to explain our Jewish brothers the good morals and all other matters very well and they will be able to live by that book happily because it is totally compatible with the Torah. Good morals, prayers, love, compassion, kindness, strictly guarding what is lawful and unlawful are all fully harmonious with the Qur’an. When a Jew realizes the commandments in that book, essentially he comes to have realized the commandments in the Torah. In that sense the book is highly beneficial.

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW WITH KANAL 35 (IZMIR) (February 7, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: In the last two days, a friend of mine came from Israel as my guest. He is a loving man, a Rabbi with a beard down to his belly. He is an incredibly fine person, his eyes filled with tears while talking and even cried with gratitude. He says that if we, devout Muslims and Jews come together, he believes there will be no problems and we may overcome all issues. He has deep affection and love of Allah, he is incessantly praying and deeply devout. He believes in the Oneness of Allah, in the Hereafter as well as Heaven and Hell. He has belief in all prophets and believes that we are also devout people. This means he does not consider Muslims to be irreligious, that is very important. But Christians are not like that, they consider Muslims to be unbelievers. But Jews consider Muslims to be religious because they believe we abide by the religion of the Prophet Noah (pbuh). They believe we live by the Prophet Noah’s (pbuh) residual religion and we are the B’nei Noah. Therefore they regard us as Muslims and religious because we all believe in unity of Allah and the prophets as well. We are meticulous on what is lawful and unlawful. Since these are in full compliance with the commands of the Torah, they feel love for us. Actually devout Jews are very pleasant people. People would love them very much if they came to know them. Those little Jewish kids with their curls, they are like patties and very cute. For instance, they read the Torah with great zeal. How can we not love these people, when rather than being irreligious or immoral, they have faith in the unity of Allah, they love all prophets, they believe in Heaven and Hell. Surely we love them all, they are very dear to us. Regarding the Christians, their compassionate and humble side is mentioned in the Qur’an. Allah informs us they are closest to the Muslims in that respect. But the belief in the trinity is an anomaly and has to be corrected. They have to believe in the Oneness of Allah. They ascribe three gods. But we see that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) prays Allah in the Gospel, would Allah (Allah is surely beyond that) pray Allah? He is eats, sleeps, and he has natural needs. They should have fear of Allah, even a three year-old would not say that. Why did they have the need to say this? It is incomprehensible. Did they need to do this to glorify the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)? They acted in a very hideous and wrong way. Allah questions the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) on the Day of Judgment, I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan: “And when Allah says, ‘‘Jesus son of Maryam! Did you say to people, “Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?”’ he will say, ‘Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right to say! If I had said it, then You would have known it.”  (Surah Al-Maida, 116) Therefore love towards the People of the Book is very important. If there are devout Christians and devout Jews in the region, we would all be at ease. They would go to their synagogues, Muslims would go to their mosques and they would respect and be kind to one another. All problems arise from irreligion, there is no other issue.
 

4-    ADNAN OKTAR’S VIEW ON DIALOGUE INITIATIVE

ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW WITH BAŞKENT TV (February 13, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: As far as I understand there are two kinds of interfaith dialogue. We love the People of the Book, they are our brothers, we embrace them, protect and watch over them. But if a Jew comes up and says, “I do not believe in the Hereafter but my other features are good enough,” we would not accept that. But if he says that he loves the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), we would kiss him on the forehead. This is the same for a Christian, if he talks about the Hereafter, Heaven and Hell, then we would accept him as our brother and again kiss him on the forehead. But if he claims Allah is one of the three (Allah is surely beyond that), then we would not accept that and abide by that belief. In this respect dialogue is very good but there is another claim which I heard but did not see myself, I am not sure of its authenticity, that is: “Judaism is a divine religion, Christianity is a divine religion, Islam is a divine religion. Everyone is free to choose whichever one he likes, so these three religions should be in dialogue and unite.” There is no such thing, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. It is very obvious they have been distorted. I read the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur’an every day. Those are distorted apparently and even a five year-old would see that. First of all, in Christianity there are four books and they say (Allah is surely beyond that) Allah is three. What does this mean? The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) prays, eats, sleeps and has natural needs. They claim he is Allah. They must not claim so, it is a great wrongdoing on their part. Such a statement would turn devout people away from religion, they should all consider devout Christians and youngsters while resorting to such lunacy. That is craziness and Allah says, I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed satan, “the heavens are all but rent apart,” (Surah Maryam, 90) because of these claims. These will be corrected and we are expecting the return of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) Insha’Allah and with his appearance all of these will be completely solved. During the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), Christians will come very close to Islam. 

ADNAN OKTAR’S MAVİ  KARADENİZ  TV INTERVIEW (December 31, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: Jews are our brothers, devout Jews are very dear to us. Devout Christians are also very dear to us, they are our beloved brothers. We may marry their daughters, eat their food and trade with them. We pay visit to them and they come and visit us as well, we talk and have friendly conversations together. We make an effort to invite them to Islam but only with grace and love as stated in the Qur’an without offending them. They may also account for their own thoughts, and we explicate our thoughts and this is what I call dialogue.

ADNAN OKTAR’S KANAL 55 (SAMSUN) INTERVIEW (August 16, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: Let me explain what I understand from the term dialogue. For instance, I have a Christian neighbor and I call him to dinner. I ask him about his health and condition and inquire how I can help him. I question if he is in peace and has provisions for eating and drinking and whether he is in need of something or not. It makes no difference if he is a Christian, Armenian, Protestant, Orthodox or Jew. They are all our brothers and the People of the Book. I regard this to have conversation and talk with them, that is what I call dialogue.  It was the same during the time of our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) and you know one of the concubines of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was Christian and he had Christian and Jewish neighbors. Our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) had meals with them, talked to them and made friends with them. This is what I call dialogue, but if there is a novel logic which I am not aware of, then I do not agree with that.

5-    MUSLIMS AND PEOPLE OF THE BOOK SHOULD UNITE AGAINST ANTICHRISTIANISM

ADNAN OKTAR’S MAVİ  KARADENİZ TV INTERVIEW (December 31, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: No, we should be friends with Israel. We will surely have friendship, alliance and brotherhood with devout and sincere Jews. But atheist Zionists are extremely dangerous. They are intimate with masonry. Atheist Zionists and masons are ruling the world together and they make all decisions of war and bloodshed in concert. There is a secret world state that is established by atheist Zionists and masons, this is what we call antichristianism. We call their leader the antichrist and he governs the world. Believers should actively struggle against that and act in union. Devout Christians, devout Jews and devout Muslims have to be in alliance and counteract this system as one.

ADNAN OKTAR'S INTERVIEW FOR SEHER TV, IRAN (October 3, 2008)
ADNAN OKTAR: We will struggle against the atheist zionists altogether. Let us remember Allah together and come together in prayer. Let us produce books and write articles and communicate the message of Allah. Atheist zionists are also human, of course, and maybe they will also be guided to the true path in that way. Maybe they will mend their ways, but we have a duty to oppose them. But when devout Christians, devout Jews and devout Muslims come together, they will be the greatest force in the world and nothing will be able to withstand them. But if they are divided into three, and if Muslims are divided among themselves, then the antichrist will seize power in a very short space of time. But if these forces combine together, the antichrist will have no power than a puff of wind. In other words, he will be powerless and be blown away.

6-    ADNAN OKTAR’S CALL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK: “LET US RALLY TO A COMMON FORMULA, THAT IS, WE WORSHIP NONE BUT ALLAH...”

ADNAN OKTAR'S INTERVIEW WITH TASCA (TURKISH-ARAB SCIENCE, CULTURE AND ART ASSOCIATION) (November 21, 2008)

Look, the Jews have been faithful to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) for thousands of years. This is a most excellent thing. For instance, the Christians have been loyal to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) for two thousand years. But they do not know. We are in a time of interregnum. They may not have realized. They may not have understood the Qur’an. They are being incited against the Qur’an. But everything began to change once they realized and understood. For example, they began to grasp the false nature of belief in the trinity. The Jews began having a better understanding of the conception of the Hereafter. It used to be in the Torah, but they took it out. Yet belief in the Hereafter can still be observed in the Torah. They began to strengthen that belief under the influence of the Qur’an. As these people are told about Islam and the Qur’an, they begin amending their polytheism and other false aspects.  That is a great success. It is also a blessing and a beauty. In one verse Almighty Allah tells us , I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan, to “unite around a single word, the Oneness of Allah...” That is the call we are making to them, and they are our brothers. Theirs is an old form of Islam, but has been distorted. But still that is an old form of Islam and they are the People of the Book. Therefore they deserve to be loved, respected and protected as much as Muslims. So they will also live in peace and security.

7-    TURKISH ISLAMIC UNION WILL BRING HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AS WELL

ADNAN OKTAR’S AZERNEWS (AZERBAIJAN) INTERVIEW (October 23, 2008)

Christians are also part of the Turkish-Islamic Union. Everyone in Christian countries bordering on Muslim countries can join the Turkish-Islamic Union. They are invited. They can join if they want. They will be welcomed with joy. That is why Turkey will be the leader of Muslims and Christians and Jews. And it will offer them all peace, security and justice. Turkey is in any case leading them at the moment. It is leading in Bosnia, and in Iraq. It is leading in Afghanistan, everywhere. The Turkish Army is met with joy wherever it goes. But its scope will widen still further. Since the Turkish nation is very affectionate and delights in love and friendship. Our people feeds others rather than eating himself, gives drink to others rather than drinking himself, at bed time gives the best bed to guests rather than taking it for himself.

ADNAN OKTAR’S BAŞKENT TV INTERVIEW (January 23, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Jews are very docile and dignified people.

REPORTER: Do you include them in the Turkish Islamic Union also?

ADNAN OKTAR: Sure, they will be exceedingly contented. They will be able to pray in their synagogues as they like and will get involved in trade as they wish.

REPORTER: As it was during the Ottoman times.

ADNAN OKTAR: By all means, they may conduct business as they wish in the entire region. As a matter of fact they take abundance to wherever they go, Jews are very capable people. They do commerce, establish industrial facilities and carry out certain tasks. They have doctors and engineers and they are intelligent people. We will open the doors for them and pave their ways. They may operate as they wish but the only matter is to provide security for these people and make them comfortable, but power must definitely be on the Turkish side.

ADNAN OKTAR'S BAŞKENT TV LIVE INTERVIEW (February 13, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: We will turn the earth into Heaven for Armenians, Jews and Christians. This is very important and our Muslim brothers will in any case live a life similar to the one in Heaven. But they are also the People of the Book and they are Allah’s entrustment to us. Nobody mentions  their sufferings and how Christians in Israel are in fear of death. For instance, no one knows they cannot leave their monasteries and churches and how they are under oppression. There is infliction upon devout Jews and nobody knows about that also. They are very poor and in a wretched condition. Recently a Rabbi friend came from Israel and he is under similar circumstances. He is very cute and I caressed his beard, he is full of affection and love, Masha’Allah. I described how they would be in security under the Turkish Islamic Union and this loveable man cried. He is fond of the idea very much and said, Insha’Allah, we would be the means for this, and Allah would make us an instrument in making this real.

ADNAN OKTAR’S TRABZON TV INTERVIEW (September 4, 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR: It is really important to live in mutual happiness, tranquility, abundance and blessing with our neighbors whether it be Christians or Jews. In other words saying “you stay hungry, let me be full” is not appropriate. Therefore when considering the Turkish Islamic Union, we have to take into account Armenia. We cannot say, “we do not care about you, because you are not Turkish or Muslim, we are not interested.” Since in the Qur’an we are aware of the morality that makes them our brothers, this is the virtue that the Qur’an teaches us. We understand that we need to protect the People of the Book in the Qur’an.
