ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW BY TEMPO TV
(January 13th, 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Death is a great blessing. It is, we hope, a door opening to the Heaven, for humans to attain Allah, insha’Allah for the believers. And it is a clear proof that destroys desire for this world. Death is one of the first amongst the reasons which discipline us and is one of the most important causes for composing a good morale. Death deeply affects us, it deeply effects all the humans . And the fear from Hell, that is the fear of Allah. When these are present, a person becomes kinder, more compassionate, merciful; he becomes more intelligent, tender, agreeable and easy-going. And this is the foundation and root of a good moral life. For this reason, we regard death as a means to draw us close to Allah, and as a means to Heaven. And in this way, we know that it is a blessing, insha’Allah.
