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