ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV
(March 3, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: ... And the snake in Paradise may be very pleasant and delightful, wriggling around and speaking the finest words. For example, it may wind itself around someone like a scarf, make jokes and make itself very popular. Allah will create it to be agreeable and attractive. It is in any case a cute animal, but is dangerous because it is poisonous. We are told in the Torah and the hadith that snakes will lose their venom in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). The animal is normally attractive enough to be hypnotic, very decorative and very attractive. But people dislike it because it is dangerous, or because it is cold, or cold to the touch, whereas if it were warm and loveable and made people love it, it would have more adornments. For instance, the animals of Paradise will be covered in pearls and diamonds, they will wear the special adornments of Paradise. Imagine them moving around covered in bright and eye-catching jewels; that will be really beautiful.

ADNAN OKTAR'S VATAN TV INTERVIEW
(April 2, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Allah uses symmetry and beautiful colors in everything He creates. This is a blessing, a beauty from Allah. There will be butterflies and birds also in Paradise, insha’Allah, and all will be much much more beautiful. But I would like to cite a few examples here. These things are important in terms of seeing Allah’s artistry of Creation. Yes, we are going for a close-up, aren’t we? Look how Allah bestows such glorious decoration on birds, and that is how birds will be in Paradise. They will wander around us when we want, and we will stroke their beaks and talk with them, insha’Allah. For instance this sweet one is also like that, it is like a bird of Paradise. It is quite amiable. They will be the adornments of Paradise. But they will be much finer and much more perfect. And they will be immortal. These loveable beings are mortal here, these cute creatures. But in Paradise they are immortal, insha’Allah. Yes, let me give a few examples of these creatures. Look, as I say, these will be in Paradise with all their cuteness and magnificence. Yes, butterflies. The best thing is to maintain the close-up and I can keep showing them. Yes, look how symmetrically Allah has decorated them. Yes, and here again in the same way... You see the glory in the colors. This is Allah’s creation and artistry... But these will be intelligent in Paradise, they will speak very excellently, and when we ask how they are, they will say they are very well. They also ask you the same, and they say alhamdulillah. They will be so sweet. But in this world they just stare blankly at you. They are not allowed to enjoy direct communication with human beings in this world. The Prophet Sulayman (as) knew their language and was able to communicate with them. Yes, the lovely creatures of Paradise.
