Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview at HarunYahya.TV on May 20th, 2010
ADNAN OKTAR: Again there is a verse of the Qur'an. Surat Al'Imran, 103. Allah says, "He joined your hearts together."Without the mentioned help of Allah, people in general are inclined to feel hostility, grudge, and suspicion against one another and to be wild. Otherwise they are inclined to stay away from one another and not love one another and they see one another as dangerous beings and therefore due to that poise, they stay in a state of an animal-like wildness. But if they love one another within the morality of the Qur'an, they become trustworthy because all of them fear Allah, love Allah and are subject to the same law of morality. That is because they understand affection in the same meaning, they take the feelings of mercy, fidelity and loyalty in the same meaning. Everybody has a common moral value. But among the unbelievers, everyone would have a different sense of morality. For example, the man is wild and says, "I think like this." For example, he says, "I don't trust in people." The other says, "I partially trust in people." And another says, "Loyalty is stupidity" whereas the other says, "Being loyal is great."
It is understood here, that morality has to be stable. Right? There can only be one truth. When the society has only one single truth, then there would be a perfect sense of communication and morality. But if it's the opposite, there would be thousands of different forms of morality. For example, satanist morality is different, communist morality is different, fascist morality is different. The morality of a prostitute is different or of a man who shows illegitimate morality. Or that of a bigot is different. All have a different state of mind. But there is stability in the morality of the Qur'an. Then there is a certain relaxation, you feel comfortable. For example you say, "Salam". He says, "Alaykum as-salam." You ask, "How are you?" He says, "Fine." Just like the members of the same household and even better. Because there are many people who live in the same house but are not comfortable. For example, his brother is like a horse thief but he is like an Angel, very clean. His brother is a psychopath, whereas he is calm. There are many like this. There is a sign to this in the Qur'an as well. They are from the same house, the same family but for example his wife is abnormal and immoral, but her husband is a Prophet. For example, this is told in the part of the Qur'an where Cain and Abel is mentioned. One of the brothers is a murderer while the other is compliant. They are the children of the same father but in Islam this is also removed. There is a complete warmness and lovingness in Islam which doesn't exist even in between brothers. I mean the real brotherhood is thus formed. That is because you are loyal to him and he is loyal to you as well. If there is no loyalty it is very dangerous, so why be friends?
If the man is to waste you and if you are also ready to waste him, then you can't be friends anyway. Loyalty is needed first of all. The man is not patient, for instance. If he is not patient, he can make a scene any moment. The other can cause a scene any moment too; a man who is not patient is dangerous. For example, if one is not compassionate; without compassion people would be closer to hatred. Hatred places inside the heart and one would be temperamental. You can't know what he will do next. He would be like a channel through which trouble might flow any moment. But grace, and beauty, love and goodness comes from Muslims every moment. The environment, where Muslims live, is like a garden of Heaven and our hearts are at ease. For example, people go to places of fun, to some place. There is a member of the mafia on his right and a prostitute on his left, or a bad lot on one side and a pervert on another and a serial killer on the other. There is a serial killer and he is not caught. He freely walks around. People don't know so they sit down and have lunch with him. It says on the papers : " having fun with her killer" and they have their pictures printed on the newspaper and she doesn't even know. The man says, "Let me shoot a picture of you as a souvenir." It is shot 15 minutes ago. The girl laughs and smiles just like that. He strangles her 15 minutes later and throws her down the hill. But the man is a psychopath. He doesn't fear Allah. And it is also a punishment of trusting someone who does not fear Allah. Because he says, "I don't fear Allah, but I trust you a lot." Allah doesn't like that. And Allah takes revenge. Then Allah takes revenge. There is a saying: "Fear those who don't fear Allah." The individual has to be careful if the other doesn't fear Allah. She says, "I'm not afraid of that person who doesn't fear Allah, and I love him very much."
Then Allah sticks it, in her throat. He either beats and swear or throws out. He either slanders or defamates. I mean, she would definitely face his disloyalty. Then they start singing the song that says "that disloyal lover!" Brother, don't you know from the beginning that he doesn't fear Allah? You do. You also know that he is rebellious against Allah. How could someone who doesn't love Allah, love you? Why do you believe in that? Isn't this a very ugly behavior? Look, he doesn't love the One Who created you. He is not aware of the One Who created you. How could he be aware of you? How could he love you? She says, "No he loves me, he doesn't love Allah, but he loves me." She says, "He is not aware of Allah but he is aware of me." Then Allah would put her through the wringer. And this is what lies at the root of all break-ups and pain. I mean in the majority of them. Some are out of ignorance, that is another point. But most of them have this.
People suffer the consequences of not fearing Allah. Then as a result of this, they come to a state of mind that they won't be able to trust anyone. Then those lovely looks and that meaningful, warm looks full of love that belong to young girls perish. Instead there comes dull and senseless looks remote from love, looks full of fear. For example, with young people, a look full of love and joy is replaced by what? It is replaced by an aggressive and psychopath look, full of suspicion. I again requite those who do it out of ignorance. And therefore, in society there becomes a jungle like environment full of jackals, wolf and mange dogs. Many countries are like that, many places of the world are like that. And when you ask; "Why do you abstain?" She says, "I can't trust anyone." You ask, "Why?" She says, "You won't even trust your father and everybody knows that." Look, she doesn't even trust her father. She is telling the truth. That is because even her father tries to violate her. Her father attempts incestuous relations. Her father wastes her as well. The rate of this is up to 20% and 30% in Europe. It is very high. For example, in Brazil, this is up to 40% and 50%. The rate of incestuous relations is very high. People withdraw themselves in such an atrocious environment and become loveless. They only love themselves, well in fact they can't even love themselves. They hate themselves. Well, what is left then? She says, "I don't love anyone." "Do you love yourself?" you ask. She says, "I don't."
There is nothing left. She says, "I love my dog." She torments the animal as well. And thus, Allah gives one of the biggest torments to the society. Now our nation will lift this trouble off of the world. Despite all that oppression, there is still love within our nation. There is compassion and mercy. There is obedience to the morality of the Qur'an. This will develop, improve and become healthy. Our nation will be the world's teacher. They will teach love and friendship to everyone. Otherwise, the world was moving towards its destruction. Normally the Day of Judgment was to take place. Allah stopped the Day of Judgment, herewith the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Otherwise, Allah would not keep a world full of people, who are unhappy, who don't love Allah, who do not know Allah and who believe in Darwinism and materialism, up anyway. Normally Allah would have destroyed the world. But he doesn't by means of the Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). He gives some more time. We see that this time is extended for the dominion of the morality of Islam. Insha'Allah we will see the dominion of Islam all together. After that, people will say, "What a big trouble were we living in, such an anguished life we had lived, we have lived such a life o misery." They will say, "it was such a misery we lived through."
