ADNAN OKTAR: For example, a lemon, we say, “how lovely a lemon tastes and smells.” But that is wrong. A lemon has no taste or smell. Our brains perceive it like that. That is how the body perceives it. It is therefore the soul that receives all these perceptions. Allah creates these perceptions in the soul. So we will go back to the soul. Because since that is where we live our true lives,  since we live in our brains, it is the soul we must have experience of. I can also talk about the other. I can tell people of the world outside the soul, but that would mean little to them. Because I would talk about transparent matter, a pitch black Sun and a pitch black Moon. The Qur’an speaks of the darkening of the Sun and Moon, for instance. So there is a sign in this, too, a sign referring to this matter. The outside world is dark. That is how we see it. But the percentage of people who know this is very know. People are reluctant to think about it. They think about what they are going to do the next day, their classes if they go to school, how to convince the other party if they want to get married, how to set up home, how to get their property out if it has been held up by the customs authorities or how to get better if they are ill. Allah occupies everyone with such things. Whereas it is Allah one should concentrate on. We will not be staying here long. Even if we do get our property back from customs, we will still soon die. The person who gets married will soon die. The person who is cured will soon die anyway. “I feel much better now I have been cured,” they say. But you are still going to die. But the most rational thing is obviously to prepare oneself for death, for eternal life. Because Allah says that if people are not interested in Him, He will not be interested in them. If they forget Him, He says, He will forget them. But if, may Allah forbid, someone says let Allah forget me, then Hell is ready for him.
