FROM MR. ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 35 TV (IZMIR) (25 January 2009)

PRESENTER:What would you say if I mentioned time and space?

ADNAN OKTAR:I have a classic way of describing it. Let me tell you. Now, when I knock my cup on the table you hear a sound.

ADNAN OKTAR: I knock it again; you have compared two times, two moments, in your head. You call the difference between them time. That is a belief; there is in fact just one moment, these things happened in a single moment. In other words, it is a complete belief. Einstein also says there is no such thing as time in empty space, in outer space. Time and space are completely relative, perception-dependent. Since there is no time, just a single moment, everything is created and over and done within a single moment. In other words, all of eternal life is over and done within a single moment. But Allah gives this to us as a perception, as a belief. It is a belief of the brain, a system brought about by the logic in the brain by way of comparison. Otherwise, there is no time. It is technically impossible for there to be any such thing. There is just one single moment.

PRESENTER:In that case, can we say that every moment of time is determined with eternity?

ADNAN OKTAR:Pardon?

PRESENTER:Every moment of time is determined with eternity.

ADNAN OKTAR:There is just one single moment, and everything happens within that. Our past, the first explosion of the universe, the event known as the Big Bang, the passage of 15 billion years. Fifteen billion years is not even 15 seconds in the Sight of Allah; it has come and gone in a moment.

PRESENTER:So time is fixed and unchanging. Fixed, and does it change?

ADNAN OKTAR:Of course, it is dependent on perception. For example, there may be entities that are seeing Hitler at this moment. There may be people who have just seen Hitler’s birth. There may be people who have just seen Napoleon, who have just seen his armies. This is something that is totally dependent on perception and on the entities at that time, on presentation.

PRESENTER:In that case, if the concept of time is just a moment, then the day, year or century we experience take place in a single moment.

ADNAN OKTAR:Of course.

PRESENTER:Can we think of it like this? Let us lock someone in a room; let us organize a false sunrise and sunset and eliminate the concept of time. You have described this very well in your documentaries. Shall we expand a bit?

ADNAN OKTAR:Yes, that person will definitely not realize; meaning that we can tell him anything in such a position. For example, if we put someone to sleep, artificially with  anesthetics and then tell him that 4 years have gone by, if we show him newspapers from 4 years later, show him the cuttings from them and say, “you were unconscious,” then he will certainly believe it. He will regard it as quite reasonable.

PRESENTER:Yes, this is a rather interesting subject; there is a saying about this, as time healing all wounds.

ADNAN OKTAR:Yes.

PRESENTER:When they say that time heals all wounds, are they acting out of that belief they form in their heads?

ADNAN OKTAR:Sorrows and fears may arise, but time makes one forget them. They come and go in time; but this is given to the brain as a perception. And it is Allah that makes them forget these things; otherwise time could never heal anything.

ADNAN OKTAR:In other words, it is a cause; it works like a drug there. That person uses time as a cause, as a kind of drug. And it happens under the effect of that drug.

PRESENTER:I am learning very interesting matters, by way of you. Now, we have so many questions and comments; time and space were created with matter.

ADNAN OKTAR:True.

PRESENTER:Shall we expand a little?

ADNAN OKTAR:At first, 15 billion years ago. Scientists say, “There was neither time nor space.” But they talk about matter in order to clarify this; zero volume. Nothing. Then, they say, there was something infinitely dense. They say the universe formed when that exploded. In other words, they are in agreement with the account in the Qur’an. In the Qur’an Almighty Allah says that He created the universe out of nothing. They have come to agree with what the Qur’an says. And it formed within a single moment. Time and space came into being in a moment with that explosion. In other words, the universe took shape in a matter of seconds, or microseconds. Time began after that. There was no time or space before it.

PRESENTER:Nothing at all.

ADNAN OKTAR:Only Allah.

PRESENTER:After that we are now living in time and space. We can describe life as a theater stage prepared for us. We all live out our destinies.

FROM MR. ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 35 (IZMIR) (14 February 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR:Time is of course a form of perception. It is a belief of the brain. A belief arising in the brain. There is no time on the outside. It is entirely relative. Einstein described this comprehensively and says “scientists were terrified when they realized the truth about matter.” Physicists are actually aware of this. They know how time and space are a form of perception. This depends on one’s perception. Matter exists on the outside, but human beings have direct experience of its image, and whatever they see, that is what it is to them. That is why it is relative. You asked this question about time. I said this at this moment. I also mentioned that you asked a question regarding time. We make a comparison of the space between them in our minds. That is time for us.

Mr. ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 67 Z (ZONGULDAK) (22 March 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR:It is described in the Qur’an how the Prophet Adam (pbuh) was created.

ADNAN OKTAR:Almighty Allah creates an entity like a statue from a substance resembling porcelain and says He breathed His spirit into it and that it then came to life.

ADNAN OKTAR:He says He gave it a soul. Now, during Almighty Allah is doing this, the Prophet Adam (pbuh) is already in paradise and at the same time in the world. In other words, there is but a single moment in the Sight of Allah. They imagine that Allah was all alone, and that He waited and waited and one day had the idea of creating man, surely Allah is beyond that! The fact is, however, that Almighty Allah existed before and after all eternity. He created and finished with everything in a single moment. For example, the Prophet Adam (pbuh) was already in the world as Almighty Allah prepared the clay for him and shaped him out of clay; he was already living at that moment. And he was in paradise at the same time. In other words, there is but one single moment and Allah creates it all in our brains, in people’s brains, as an image.

MR. ADNAN OKTAR’S KON TV KONYA LIVE INTERVIEW (31 August 2008)

ADNAN OKTAR:We ask to the scientists about the Creation of the world. We ask how it happened. Scientists say that there was something of zero volume, note that, zero volume, and that the universe formed when that exploded. That is true. We ask what was there before that, and they say nothing. Neither time, nor space, they say. Instantaneous time and space… Now zero volume means nothing. In describing it, they talk about an atom the size of a pin head, but even an atom like that has volume.

ADNAN OKTAR:They say zero volume. They say something else – infinite density. They say it suddenly exploded and that time and space formed as a result. What does that mean? It means Allah is One.

ADNAN OKTAR:: Let me tell you this, so you can understand it better. We have lived all our eternal lives in a single moment, not even a second, in the Sight of Allah. It is all over with. It is finished, and all for the best. It is finished with goodness and wisdom. That being the case, what need any rational Muslim be worried about or fearful of? A Muslim can fear nothing but Allah.

MR. ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KRADENİZ TV(16 January 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR:Yes, Allah also creates time inside our brains. Scientists say, “There is no time in the outside world, in outer space.” They say that time is entirely relative and totally a perception. Einstein, one of the greatest scholars of the last century, says this. He says, “You cannot have a scientist without religion, or religion without science.” In other words, he says that science and religion must go hand in hand. He says he can not imagine a scientist without religion and there can be no religion without science. Both go hand in hand. That is an excellent thing to say, because that is the language of the Qur’an. The Qur’an says the same thing. Einstein and modern physicists also say there is no such thing as time, that time is a form of perception, that Allah creates time inside us, that there is just a single moment, that everything has happened and is over and done with in that moment, that we have experienced it all, meaning that our eternal lives have gone by in that moment. We call this destiny, and we have done everything deliberately and willingly, but Allah creates it all. But if we try to comprehend this, this is not something we can do within a tiny piece of flesh inside our brain. And it is again Allah Who rules that piece of flesh. It is Allah Who creates it, Allah Who creates the electricity in the brain and Allah Who provides this information. We can know nothing apart from what Allah imparts, but we know there is just a single moment. This is a scientific fact. Destiny cannot be avoided given the fact of a single moment. This is a fact revealed by scientists who say there is just a single moment. Everyone knows that. Ask anyone what it means for there to be a single moment, and they will say destiny. There is no alternative.
