ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (10 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, our Prophet (saas) saw the realm of Hereafter, but Allah did not show him Paradise. Allah showed him Hell. He saw Hell and gave thanks to Allah, and made his comparisons. Because having seen Paradise, the influence of this world may be quite burdensome. That is, having a physical liking for other people or this world may be very difficult, because one will have compared them with Paradise. That is why our Prophet (saas) was not shown Paradise while he was in this world.
