ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KAÇKAR TV
(12 FEBRUARY 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Our Prophet’s (saas) wives were very much in love with him. They loved him very much. They regarded him as a manifestation of Allah. They married him for Allah’s approval. And there were women who donated themselves to our Prophet (saas), who gave themselves for Allah.

Our Prophet (saas) says that he was caused to love three things; beautiful scents, women and performing prayer (namaz), as the blessings of this world. Our prophet (saas) was very considerate of his wives and full of love for them. He regarded them as a manifestation of Allah, and they saw the manifestations of Allah in our Prophet (saas). This was a great blessing, and they settled in very well alongside our Prophet (saas).

But some of his wives, as described in Surat at-Tahrim, made mistakes. He told them to keep certain matters secret, but they went and told other people. Then when he questioned his wife about this she asked who had told him, and he said that Allah, the all-Knowing and all-Aware had told him. It appears from other verses that certain of his wives troubled our Prophet (saas) somewhat. There is a warning where he says, “if you desire the life of this world and its finery, come and I will give you all you need and release you with kindness. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, the verse continues. Then there is a warning as to be patient.

There are strong warnings in Surat at-Tahrim. Some of his wives misbehaved. But in general terms, Hazrat Aisha was exceedingly thoughtful toward our Prophet (saas) and loved him very. Very much. She got married at a very young age, as you know, but generally speaking it was a very great blessing for his wives to be with and serve the Prophet (saas). They both acquired knowledge and also enjoyed great bounty.

Our prophet (saas) was someone who knew all about passion. He was someone who knew all about depth. He was also exceptionally handsome. He had black eyes, as you know. He was well-built with broad shoulders. His hair was long and parted in the middle. He plaited it from time to time. He put kohl on his eyes and had a black beard and hair. He had very few white hairs until right before his death. His hair was largely black until the age of 63. That is a great miracle, Masha’Allah. He smelled very delightful. Our Prophet (saas) always smelled of roses.

There was a mark on his back, on our Prophet’s (saas) back, just like Hazrat Mahdi (as). That will be handed down genetically right up to Hazrat Mahdi (as). Almighty Allah makes His wisdom, genetics, instrumental in this. Then in the End Times that seal will appear on the back of his descendant, Hazrat Mahdi (as), just as with our Prophet (saas) himself.

Our Prophet (saas) was also very physically strong. He wrestled, and nobody ever beat him. He beat all his opponents. Masha’Allah. He made jokes, excellent and wise jokes. He was someone who experienced the blessing that is women in the most profound manner.

He was someone who gave women’s beauty its full due. He fully understood his wives’ beauty and saw in them a manifestation of Allah. And Allah bestowed many things upon him, Masha’Allah. Some people wonder why he married so many times. What more could Allah have bestowed upon our radiant and beloved Prophet (saas)? That was entirely correct. If I had had a daughter and been alive in the time of our Prophet (saas), I would have encouraged her to marry him right away and been proud and delighted by it.
