Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 21 April 2011

A9 TV; Kahramanmaraş Aksu, 21 April 2011

• Go and ask an irreligious person or a communist; there are atheist web sites, or just go and ask them, "You write all these things, but is there a power that holds your hand? Do you have to write them? Do you feel a power putting pressure on you in your head?” "What are you talking about?” they will say. Everyone acts deliberately and does what he wants. It is impossible to comprehend the power, the secret of Allah. One cannot comprehend the secret of Allah with one’s tiny brain.

• Eternity is the name given to a brief moment. Allah has created endless time, an endless short time, and eternal time has come and gone. Can eternity come to an end? It already has. Allah has brought it to an end in an endless short moment. Do you understand? No one understands. They cannot comprehend the concept of eternity, let alone this. Even if billions or quadrillions of years go by, it is still as nothing compared to eternity. This is scientifically true, but it is impossible to grasp. My brothers are watching the television. How far away is the TV? A few meters. Not so. Let me say something they will be unable to fathom. And I swear it is true. I am currently in all their brains at this very moment. The television is in the same place in their brains. We are in the same place. Can anyone understand that? No. But it is true. I am saying what is in my destiny. I said this long before the Prophet Adam (as) was made from clay. People cannot understand that, but it is scientifically true. Belief is known as time. There is no real time or space. One entity sees the Milky Way in its hand, and for another, time is relative. The Qur’an said this 1400 years ago.

SURAT AL-MA’IDA,

44 - We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light,..

This means that the uncorrupted form of the Torah is a light that leads to happiness. That is the characteristic of the uncorrupted parts. We cannot say there is no such book as the Torah. The Torah exists. The corrupted sections are invalid, however. But the uncorrupted parts are guidance and light.

..the Prophets who had submitted themselves gave judgment by it for the Jews – as did their scholars and their rabbis – by what they had been allowed to preserve of Allah’s Book to which they were witnesses. Do not be afraid of people, be afraid of Me. And do not sell My Signs for a paltry price.

It is a sin to fear other people. One must fear Allah. That is a pronouncement of the Qur’an.

"Do not sell my Signs for a paltry price", He says.

In other words, do not alter the commands of the Qur’an. Do not add anything to it. Do not produce idolatrous beliefs opposed to Allah’s commandment.

Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are wrongdoers.

In other words, Allah says you are in disbelief when you fail to abide by Qur’anic moral values or act in a way that is incompatible with the Qur’an.

 46 -  And We sent Jesus son of Maryam following in their footsteps, confirming the Torah that came before him.

In other words, there is such a book as the Gospel. The true parts are guides, but not the invalid sections.

We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light, confirming the Torah that came before it, and as guidance and admonition for those who have fear.

What is the Gospel? It is guidance advice (the true and uncorrupted parts of it) What else? It is guidance and light. One, guidance. Two, light. Three, admonition.
The people of the Gospel should judge by what Allah sent down in it.

Allah says they must govern with the true sections of the Gospel. Because the true parts of the Gospel are in complete agreement with the Qur’an.

48 -  And We have sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (O Muhammad) with truth, confirming and conserving the previous Books.
What is the Qur’an? It is also an indication of the truth of the Torah and the Gospel.

Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you. 
What comes after Judaism and Christianity? Islam. What do Muslims do? Whom do they follow after the Prophet Noah (as)? The Prophet Abraham (as).

Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you.

Allah says that commandments have come all the time.

• (concerning depression)

Place your trust in Allah. You worry too much. Relax, place your trust in Allah, let yourselves go. Everything will in any case work out as ordained. It will happen whether you are stressed or not. It is important to love Him and always be devoted to Him in one’s heart.  Drink plenty of water. You do not drink enough water, and that causes stress. Being overweight also causes stress. One of its features is that it leads to stress. Lose weight, eat plenty of vegetables. A faulty pH balance also upsets the body. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Do sport. That relaxes the body. It eliminates tension. It makes one healthier and more relaxed. The Qur’an refers to that. Drink water. Do not let the body become dehydrated. Do not eat too much meat. To avoid high cholesterol. Eat plenty of olive oil. Abandon yourself to Allah. Speak to good people, rational people. Speaking to intelligent people is very relaxing. Stupid people will stress you out, without your realizing it. Stupid people have negative electricity. You become tense. But intelligent people have positive energy, insha’Allah.
