ADNAN OKTAR’S TEMPO TV LIVE INTERVIEW (March 10, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Our beautiful Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was very compassionate towards Christians. He would go and eat with them, eat their food. He would also trade with the Jews and encourage his companions to do so. In that era both Christians and Jew lived their lives as they were in Heaven. It was a term of peace and splendor for them.

ADNAN OKTAR'S INTERVIEW WITH THE GULF TODAY (UAE) (October 2008)

The People of the Book, the People of Israel, lived in complete ease in the time of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). They also lived in Jerusalem at that time, in the region of Israel. They were happy and prosperous and were treated with love and affection. One can marry Jewish girls, sit at their tables, eat food they have prepared, visit their homes and be friends with them. That was the practice in the time of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and his Sunnah. And it also applies to Christians. As you know, one of our Prophet’s (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) concubines was a Christian. She is our mother, someone we remember with love and respect. I am not talking about Judaism alone. Christians are also people we must regard as having a right to live in peace and happiness and plenty and abundance and the joy thereof.

ADNAN OKTAR'S KANAL MALATYA INTERVIEW (January 7, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: People of the Book is entrusted to us, this has been the same in Ottoman times as well as during the time of our Prophet (pbuh). We see the same in the Qur’an and we are obliged to protect and shelter them, to show compassion towards them and love them.  We do not only conform to their beliefs, but we love them very much as human beings and our brothers and enfold them in our arms. However if they say (Allah .is beyond this) Allah is one of the three, without doubt Allah is One, so therefore we would not agree with them. So in this aspect we never abide by their guidance and we do not obey them. But we are surely in unity on righteous morals and they are definitely our brothers.

ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON ÇAY TV (January 23, 2008)
