Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 15 August 2011

A9 TV, 15 August 2011

• Without hypocrites there may be a decline in one’s fervor, may Allah forbid. Without disbelief and madness, without resistance in other words, what is one to crush or strive against intellectually? That is why Allah bestows these things as a blessing. Come and crush these, fight, them intellectually, Almighty Allah says. “I will give you the strength.” In intellectual terms, of course

• (Response to a question about our Prophet’s (saas) marrying the wife of Hazrat Zayed)

This is one of the subjects that greatly trouble the hypocrites. Hypocrites are in any case embarrassed by it. They dislike the Prophet’s (saas) strength, dominion, effectiveness, the way he liked women and the way women liked him. It is one of the subjects that makes hypocrites most uneasy. That was also the mindset of the hypocrites who built the Mosque of Dirar. It is an excellent thing for our Prophet (saas) to have married the wife of Hazrat Zayed. She was a very clever, intelligent and beautiful woman. She wanted to marry our Prophet (saas) and Allah granted that wish. And our Prophet (saas) wanted her, and Allah gave her to him. Our mother behaved in the very best way. How lovely for her that she will live with the Messenger of Allah (saas) for all eternity. Even if we say a quadrillion time a quadrillion years for all our lifetime, still the life of paradise will only just have begun. It is still right at the zero point. The Messenger of Allah (saas) delighted in very beautiful and attractive women. And our Prophet (saas) was very impressive and attractive, so were Hassan and Hussein, and the Prophet Solomon (as), and the Prophet Joseph (as). All the prophets were like that. Spiritual guides are the same. It is an excellent thing, may those who oppose it burst with envy. Allah gives the Messenger of Allah (saas) wide discretion in one verse and told him to marry as he wished. That inflicted terrible pain on the hypocrites. Because hypocrites have no love of women. They hate women and have no human love at all.

• Masha’Allah and insha’Allah will rule the world if people repeat them. There is also the repetition of ‘La ilaha illa Allah’ [There is no god except Allah].  You recite it a thousand times in one night. You recite ‘SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah’ [Glorified is Allah] time and time again. You say ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar’ [Allah is the Greatest], and that is recited over and over. It is wrong to find anything odd in that. Do you say ‘alhamdulillah’ [thanks be to Allah] after praying? There is also a secret in masha’Allah and insha’Allah. That recitation sets the world in motion. That recitation has a special impact, and the world cannot resist it. Disbelief begins to dissolve. It cannot resist those words. Insha’Allah and masha’Allah are the spiritual swords of the way of the Mahdi. There is a secret in it since we keep reciting it.

• We will bring peace and brotherhood to the world. We will eliminate arms and also terror and anarchy. Everyone will love everyone else. We will make the world a festive place.

Surat an-Naml

 “Ta sin”

Ta, could that be the throne of the Prophet Solomon (as)? Because he was in contact with the djinn. There are “Ta Sin” codes. It may refer to Solomon. I am speaking rather guardedly, but you will understand what you will.

“Those are the Signs of the Qur’an and a Clear Book. It is guidance and good news for the believers,”

What is the Mahdi at the same time? A means to happiness. I mean in the figurative sense.

“Those are the Signs of the Qur’an”

The Qur’an has verses, and the book has manifest signs. It also refers to the signs of destiny. Events in destiny are Allah’s signs.

“It is guidance and good news for the believers,”

What is the Mahdi? Happiness and glad tidings.

“those who establish prayer”

Just as described in the Qur’an.

“and give alms and are certain about the Hereafter.”

Most people lack a certain belief and knowledge regarding the hereafter. For example, hypocrites are hypocrites because they do not wholeheartedly believe.

 “and they repudiated them wrongly and haughtily, in spite of their own certainty about them. See the final fate of the corrupters.” (Surat an-Naml, 14)

Hypocrites do not much like the Qur’an. They go wherever there are idols and idolatrous beliefs and idolaters. Note how ascribing equals to Allah is always the hypocrite’s weapon. They never speak of the Qur’an.

 “We gave knowledge to David and Solomon”

The lives of both the Prophet David (as) and the Prophet Solomon (as) are described in the Qur’an, and both also allude to the life of the Mahdi.

“We gave knowledge”

Allah gave Hazrat Mahdi (as) special knowledge or special states in a single night.

“who said, ‘Praise be to Allah Who has favoured us over many of His servants who are believers.”

Because they are specially selected.

“Solomon’s troops, made up of jinn and men and birds, were assembled for him, paraded in tight ranks.”

“Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them and then withdraw from them a little and see how they respond’.”

Allah notes how this person is given time to think after receiving the message.

“It is from Solomon and says: “In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful.”

Beginning a task by saying the names of Allah, ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim imparts a  special abundance and beauty, insha’Allah .

“Do not rise up against me,”

What is the great scourge of disbelief and hypocrites? Pride, feelings of superiority. Modest people are always popular. Good natured people are always well loved. But arrogant people are deeply unpleasant.

"A woman ruling over them…She possesses a mighty throne.” So women can be rulers. The throne of Solomon.

"Who brings out what is hidden in the heavens and the earth”

Because the djinn have the attribute of finding what is hidden in the earth and sky. If a document or anything is needed, some people can pray to Allah to make the djinn their instruments.

“He said, ‘Disguise her throne.”

The Qur’an refers to thrones a great deal.

“We shall see whether she is guided or someone who is not guided.’

Then when she came, she was asked, ‘Is your throne like this?’ She said, ‘It is exactly like it’.”

A clear, three-dimensional image formed. An image with the people around.
