ADNAN OKTAR:I read a newspaper report the other day. Did you see it, too? They were talking about a crazy star, a huge great thing. It suddenly throws great chunks of itself off, and is not far from us. They called it a psychopath star. They should look at that a bit. I mean; is it a manic star or something specially charged with a task by Allah? They should investigate that.

Look, I say quite explicitly that the Judgment Day will take place around 2120, by Allah's leave. Some of my brothers say and write in from here or there, they have written in from Egypt or Palestine, saying, "Allah has not revealed the timing of the Judgment Day. So where did you get it from?" Now look, I can provide several answers to that, but first let me say this. Knowledge of the Judgment Day is hidden knowledge of the unseen. And the unseen lies with Allah. Nobody other than Allah can know it. So far, so good. Yet, Allah says, "But Allah chooses those of His Messengers whom He wills" (Surat Al 'Imran, 179) and gives knowledge of the unseen. So what happens then? If the unseen is imparted to our Prophet (saas), and if he reveals it to his people, then the unseen knowledge becomes known. Doesn't it? How is it then, in the same way our Prophet (saas) described events that would take place in the future 1400 years ago, and that hidden knowledge has come out, hasn't it? There was no evidence or anything regarding the comet Lulin. Scientists only recently became aware of it. So how did he know about it 1400 years ago? How did he know that Iraq would be conquered? What about Afghanistan? He knew it would be occupied, and also Azerbaijan during the same period. How did he know the waters of the Euphrates would be stopped? How did he know about the subsequent solar and lunar eclipses that would take place at 15-day intervals during the month of Ramadan at the beginning of 1400 (Hegira style)? Need I go on? I could go on for hours. How did he know about these? Were they not the unseen? Who told him? Almighty Allah revealed it to the Prophet (saas). And he revealed that hidden knowledge to us.

The hadith about the life span of the world being 7000 years comes from Suyuti. Is he not a Muslim, did he not know whether he would reveal that hadith or not? Look, "The life span of the world is 7000 years" Suyuti says. "Of this, 5600 years have passed" says the Prophet (saas). And he says that the Prophet (saas) said that. Look, they are thus falsely accusing both the Prophet (saas) and Suyuti, aren't they? The Prophet (saas) possesses knowledge of the unseen through revelation from Allah. "Of these 7000 years, 5600 have passed" he says. Since we are in the year 1431, according to the Islamic calendar, there is a period of some 70 years. That is a period of 70 years in which Islam will dominate. Then one can expect corruption, and the Judgment Day is around 1545 (Hegira style), or 2120 AD. And when we are stating this, despite there are the hadiths, we say "Allah knows the truth." Master Bediuzzaman gives a date of 1560 (Hegira style) as a second numerological analysis. He gets that from Surat Al-Fatiha and he produces a separate numerological calculation from it. He even gives the date of 1577 (Hegira style) for the Judgment Day. Look, he gives 3 separate dates. "It may be in 1577 or in 1560" he says. Or, "It may be in 1545." I say, Allah knows the truth, it will happen in 1545 (Hegira style). Because word for word the hadith makes it very clear. Also, 45 is a very important number. Look, 56 and 45. These figures have secrets in them. 55 is a middle number. When you move to 56, you enter another world. 55 is a middle number, isn't it? As is 45. But when you move from 45 to 46 you again enter another world. This is my own opinion, of course. But when the time comes, those who are alive will see, insha'Allah.

But when 1545 (Hegira style) comes people will be rushing around and drinking down at tables, and they will roll about laughing, saying "Adnan Hodja said the Judgment Day would happen." In other words, they will be unable to anticipate it. Because see that neither the month, nor the day, nor the hour are certain. But the year is true, Allah knows the truth. Because when 1545 comes, they will have a celebration right away. They will say, "What happened to it? The Judgment Day was going to break?" Then they will go astray even further. That will carry on in the first month, and the second, third and fourth, maybe even as long as to February. Maybe from January to February or it will happen in another way, we cannot know. But it will happen at a much unexpected time, and the angle of their homes will suddenly change. When their homes were parallel on the ground, they will start leaning over at an angle of 45 degrees. Whole neighborhoods will start to change and merge into one another. When the sea will move one way, and the land will move to another. The Bosphorus will open and close. There will be huge changes and occurrences. Then they will say, "Our Prophet (saas) told the truth, Bediuzzaman also told the truth and Adnan Hodja told the truth, too." But it will be too late, insha'Allah.

Look, I have proof that what I say is true. For one thing, all the portents cited about these happenings by our Prophet (saas), about the onset of the Judgment Day in the End Times, have come true. People might regard just one portent as inadequate or 2, maybe 3. But there are more than 150, and that cannot be a coincidence. If you call that a coincidence people will doubt your sanity. It cannot be coincidental. If just one of all the things I have said had not happened, I would again agree. But everything I have said has happened. Two years ago, before anyone was talking about visas, I said they would be lifted. Now about 60 countries have lifted the visas. I wrote about the economic crisis in my book 20 years ago, and it has now begun when the exact date came and they cannot stop it. I said they would be unable to stop it. So let them keep an eye on what happens subsequently. If they still do not believe these when Islam will rule the world, then that will be grave. They will see Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as). Upon all these, if they still say, "I do not believe," then there is nothing else I can say. In that event, Allah will prove it to them, insha'Allah. Knowledge of the unseen lies with Allah. Allah reveals in a verse that He imparts the hidden knowledge to His Prophets and messengers that He chooses. That is all. They ask, "Where is the proof?", and here I am giving the proof. And the Prophet (saas) imparted knowledge of the unseen 1400 years ago and all the hidden knowledge he imparted has come true. Allah says; He has not given access to the unseen. But the Prophet (saas) did know it, through revelation by Allah, and he told his people who also learned about it. And there is nothing surprising about that.
