ADNAN OKTAR: People will understand that the Day of Reckoning is near from the great incidents that will take place after 2012 anyway. There will be immense catastrophes, there will be great earthly incidents. There will be very big incidents and these will take place unceasingly. I mean everyone will come to see that there is something extra-ordinary.

For instance, we are seeing this in the TV shows as well. There is a blonde lady, very sweet lady on TV. She said; "there are some sudden changes in seasons. No such things were happening in the past and clearly time is passing by very rapidly. Something has happened to this world." Actually, this lady was a very cheerful one; she is a bit disposed to revelry and debauchery. I mean she is not a person who would draw closer to such matters, she does not have a manner of speech that is familiar with religion.  But she said; "there is something extra-ordinary going on in the world, there is something going on. I am seeing this clearly. The effluxion of time clearly and explicitly picked up an inconceivable speed, I am clearly seeing that." And everyone is saying that.  The weekends come by instantly. My brother in the past did the weekends come by this fast? The days seemed like they would never end. Now they pass by instantly.  You spare time for sleep.. for instance one sleeps 7 or 8 hours a day and he wakes up, has his breakfast and then the day ends. The man goes to work and instantly the time for coming back and going back to sleep comes by. The man cannot even have the time to breathe. He wouldn't know whether he is coming or going. In the past time seemed like it would never end. Right?  Insha'Allah.

The imminence of the Day of Reckoning is something that would reinforce our ties of brotherhood ever further. I mean the imminence of the Day of Reckoning is something that would wake love. Being together in the Hereafter does have a significance. Right? It does have a beauty insha'Allah. For that reason let it be a Christian or a Jew, let it be an irreligious, faithless one, a communist, we need to approach everyone with compassion and strive for everyone to see the good, right and beautiful. And we should not meddle with those who cannot see, meaning we should not behave roughly towards them neither should we insult them or humiliate them. This is what Allah had ordained for them. We are not charged with making everyone find the truth. Allah is the One Who makes people find the true path.
