OUR PROPHETS (MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM AND GRANT HIM PEACE)
INTERCESSION FOR THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE ON THE DAY OF
RECKONING
ADNAN OKTAR: Lets take the example of a Jew who believes in the Oneness of Allah.
Theres salat and prostration in the Torah. He has a strong fear of Allah and is punctilious
about what is lawful and unlawful and he has not become acquainted with Islam. These
people are known as the Ahl al-Fatrat [People of interregnum]. If such people are very
sincere, very honest in the sight of Allah, one may hope that they may enter Paradise. We
cannot say they cannot go to Paradise, because according to the words of the Quran, Allahs
honest servants will be saved. Allah has provided only one measure, and no more; sincerity.
If Allah regards someone as very sincere they may of course hope to enter Paradise, even if
they are unacquainted with Islam and the Quran. It is impossible for anyone acquainted with
the Quran to hold any other view because the Quran is so clear. An honest person will
immediately admit the fact when he looks at the Quran.
ADNAN OKTAR: There is a verse of the Quran which says, The religion with Allah is
Islam. One religion. Islam is the one religion. But Christianity believes in the trinity. Allah
strongly condemns the trinity belief in the Quran. They say that Allah is three (Allah is
beyond this), and that is out of the question. That is incompatible with monotheism. We must
say that Allah is One. It is most important to say that Allah is One. At the moment they are
making a very grave error. That is what it means by the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) smashing the
idols and slaying the pig when he returns. It means he will eliminate belief in the trinity and
will eliminate heretical beliefs, and that he will pronounce on what is lawful and unlawful on
the basis of the Quran. But the Quran says, I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed satan;
Only My servants who are righteous in the sight of Allah will be saved. Sincere
servants. One has to have sincerity. True sincerity. Being a Muslim is not enough. A Muslim
also has to have sincerity. But even if the People of the Book hold out against the true nature
of the Quran, the ruling in the Quran is clear. Allah knows the truth, but if they reject the
Quran out of pride and lack of consideration, they cannot be Muslims.
But for instance, a person does not know about the Quran, is ignorant, a Christian. He
believes in the Oneness of Allah and performs his salat (prayer) to the best of his knowledge
of the New Testament. The New Testament speaks of salat. He fasts, is careful over what is
lawful and unlawful and believes in the Oneness of Allah. One may hope for such people. If
someone has never been told about the religion, then he is one of the People of Interregnum.
One may hope that such a person will be able to enter Paradise if he is very, very sincere. One
may have hope for a person who has no knowledge, who has never been told or taught about
the religion. But if someone knowingly and deliberately insists on rejecting the Quran even
though he knows it is true, then the pronouncement of the Quran on that is clear, too.
HUMAN CREATION HAS BEEN CREATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH
PARADISE
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON MAVI KARADENIZ TV
(3 February 2009)
People like very bright things, do they not? That is why womens clothes are very eyecatching. For example, a diamond on a ring immediately catches the eye. This stems from a
predisposition to Paradise in the human soul. It is given us as an instinct. It is Allah Who
causes us to love those gems. Because we are already instinctively prepared for Paradise, we
are literally hypnotized when we see them. Paradise enters our minds, and we subconsciously
delight in it, albeit all unawares. When we see a green place, for instance, we like it because
of a predisposition to Paradise in us, and we think of ever more perfect versions. Our love of
those precious stones also comes from our heavenly instinct. It is a pleasure that stems from
knowing
Paradise.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV
(3 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: When people pick up an apple, it is never a perfect apple, of course. They
know there will always be the best one. Whoever you ask will know that there can always be
a more perfect apple or cherry or banana. Nobody totally likes his home or clothing, and they
always have the idea of something even better. This is a predisposition to Paradise that is
encoded in people. The human soul is encoded with a predisposition for Paradise. A person is
never satisfied with anything, and never really and truly likes it unless he finds its version in
Paradise. No woman in this world is truly beautiful. People will always feel something is
missing with her. That is, they intensely feel something absent in her. Nobody in this world
ever finds the woman he is looking for, in the physical sense. Though of course there are
women who are very splendid in her spirit. There are people who are very beautiful in soul
and character. But there is much more of what people like in Paradise. Allah creates these
things only very seldom in this world. For example, there is the real gold in Paradise, gold
that is used a great deal. For example, there is very little gold in the gilding on that wood
there, but it catches the eye and we really like it.
ADNAN OKTAR: We really enjoy seeing some gold leaf being used, or a piece of gold
thread embroidery. There is very, very much embroidery in Paradise. That is also created in
our brains. It does exist on the outside, but it is created in our brains and gives us much
pleasure.
One of the delightful aspects of Paradise is this; there are mansions in Paradise that someone
on the outside can see inside, and someone on the inside can see the outside. One feature of
Paradise is that there is crystal all over the place. Light is a beauty that is much used of in
Paradise. Everything sparkles. Everything is finely embroidered and detailed. People are
literally dazzled in Paradise. It is a beauty. That is what people always seek, if you notice.
They always seek bright, sparkling water, transparence. That stems from a subconscious
predisposition to Paradise that Allah bestows. One looks for a lake, albeit a small one. One
looks for a river, though very small one. As long as there is water. People do not know, but
that is an instinct, a predisposition to Paradise. For example, even a bright, sparkling small
gem hypnotizes one. This is a quality of Paradise.
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON CAY TV
(4 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course a Muslim will be very tranquil, someone who thinks very
deeply, who is forgiving, affectionate, considerate of those around, who strives for their
happiness, is clean and well groomed and who makes his surroundings pleasanter. At home,
he beautifies his house. He strives to ensure his body is well maintained, that his hair and
clothing are well groomed, to speak nicely, to have pleasant facial expressions, to have a
pleasant voice, for his home to have a pleasant atmosphere, to have good food and music
around, and for everything to be agreeable. Because the believers soul cries out, Paradise!
Paradise! It desires it. And it constantly seeks it in this world. When the believer desires that,
Allah makes everywhere a Paradise for him. Constant perfection is a Muslims ideal.
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV
(19 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: People from Paradise come here, people worthy of Paradise. And those
deserving of Hell come from Hell. Because this world is but a single moment. I am saying
that. For example, our Prophet (saas) was already in Paradise. That is, he did not go to
Paradise only later. And our Prophet (saas) is in Paradise now. Our Prophet (saas) was in
Paradise before coming here, before he was born. Therefore, he came to this world from
Paradise.
PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TEST IN THIS WORLD IN
ORDER TO BE HAPPY IN PARADISE
believer who has fear of Allah, whoever He regards as most desirous of His approval.
Therefore, Allahs approval is the main criterion in such matters.
there, which is created so one can be there instantaneously. By Allahs leave, these things will
happen. It is useful for us to know the general logic behind all these things, though much
more comprehensive information is available of course on the www.harunyahya.com and
www.harunyahya.org web sites.
ADNAN OKTAR: Allah says of Paradise that no earthly desire has tasted and no eye
seen it. It is utterly amazing and most beautiful. One of the best features of Paradise is that
nowhere grows old or fades, and everything is positive. As you know, everything is created
with its opposite in this world.
ADNAN OKTAR: Like good and bad or day and night, in Paradise there will be only
positive aspects. That is the artistry of Allah. The gate of Paradise is uniquely beautiful. You
look at the doors of the houses and they are all separately decorated. The chairs have a beauty
of their own. So we look at those beauties and give constant thanks to Allah. The human soul
burns with love of Allah in Paradise. You look at a pitcher in Paradise and you give thanks to
Allah. You can even talk to it. You can tell it to turn a bit to the right and it will do so. And if
you tell it bring you a cool drink, it will bring you one. Pour it out, you say, and it will pour it
into a glass. Go back to your place you say, and back it goes. Paradise is very pleasant and
entertaining like that. Allah has created it specially to be like that. But in this world we are
bound by direct causes. I cannot bring something to me without stretching my hand out for it.
I am bound by direct causes.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yet it is not my hand that brings it here. Allah creates that in my head. He
creates my hand as the direct cause.
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV
(12 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR:... There are always direct causes here. For instance, were it not for the
camera here they could not see me, but there is no need for cameras in Heaven. It is created
without direct causes. For example, in Paradise your brother can look and see you, in other
words there is no need for a camera system.
ADNAN OKTAR: For instance, it is enough for him to wish to see someone to see them. The
image forms. But here, you have to turn on the television, press the buttons, and there have to
be cameras and lighting. Several direct causes have to be created, and that eliminates our free
will.
ADNAN OKTAR: In other words, since we are tested, if we obtained images of everywhere
without cameras everyone would believe, and the test would be lifted. Satellite antenna and
cameras are used as instruments so the test should continue, and people are not visible to us in
their homes without satellite antennae and cameras. Images are created as a miracle in every
home. Allah creates them as a miracle in every home. He uses the camera and satellite
systems as His instruments. He creates them so people will regard the phenomenon as quite
normal, though the fact is that images are directly created in everyones brain.
ADNAN OKTAR: There is no need for any vehicle. Everything happens by people just
thinking of it. Like in a dream, for instance; when we want to fly we use a plane, we get in a
vehicle and go to the airport and board the plane, and we fly by means of the engine of the
plane. The plane then lands, in Ankara say. We get our bags and alight. We experience this all
very perfectly. We later realize we were asleep and it was all a dream. But the plane there
needs no petrol or diesel or anything.
ADNAN OKTAR: That is what Paradise is like.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV
(3 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: This is also the case in this world. For example, I want to drink some tea.
It appears that I stretch my hand out for it, though it is actually Allah Who brings the cup to
my lips. My hand does not bring the tea to me, Allah just uses it as a direct cause. It is also
Allah Who creates the tea in the cup. A person cannot do this. It is a law of Allah, but one that
everyone who makes a deep use of his mind can comprehend. Otherwise, a person who
becomes caught up with superficial direct causes imagines that everything is the result of such
direct causes. He imagines that biscuits come from a factory, or meat from the butchers shop.
But Allah creates the meat. It is crated at that moment. You imagine it comes from the store,
but Allah uses the store as a direct cause. Tables are laid. Allah sets all tables. Tables are set as
a miracle, but people are unaware of this because of the direct causes involved. Since these
direct causes do not apply in Paradise, tables are set all of a sudden, fruit forms
instantaneously. There are no direct causes involved in an object going from one place to
another. For instance, the cars in Paradise need no engine and petrol, they just move
spontaneously. Cars in this world do need engines and petrol, though. There need to be direct
causes for them to move. If cars were to move without engines and petrol, people would no
longer enjoy the use of their free wills and would have to have faith. But since there is no test
in Paradise there are no direct causes, either. Everything moves of its own accord. People just
have to think of it, to imagine it, for it to happen.
EVERYTHING IS CONSCIOUS IN PARADISE, EVEN OBJECTS
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV
(8 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: All the objects in Paradise are intelligent, they all have understanding. In
order for us to turn the television on here, for instance, we press the remote and it comes on.
But it is again Allah Who turns the television on. A miracle takes place, though Allah appears
to use the remote as a direct cause. But there are no such direct causes in Paradise. For
example, if you tell that flower bowl to come to you, it does so. You pick a fruit from its tree,
and as soon as you do so it reappears in the tree. You eat food for instance, as you keep eating
that food it keeps reappearing in the dish. And that is perfectly logical, because Allah creates
it as an image in our brains. Matter does exist on the outside, but we have direct experience of
an image of it in our brains. And it is logical for the image not to come to an end. It would be
a miracle if the image did come to an end, for the food we are eating to be finished. For
example, there is no dust or dirt in Paradise. There is no blurring in anything we normally
experience as an image. We watch a film and there is no blurring. Even if you watch the film
a thousand times it will still be pristine and the image will never be spoiled. Allah says that in
the Hereafter. He will cause Muslims to live in the very finest places. Allah is referring to
mansions. To the tents of Paradise. These are the most lovely places one can imagine, perfect
images created instinctively. When we eat fruit, we will say this is the fruit we have always
been longing for. When we see a woman there, we will say that she is the kind of woman we
have always longed for. When we see a house we will say that is the kind of house we have
always longed for. Allah says there are small rivers, streams of gold running in gentle curves,
as well as bigger rivers. People have a natural love of water, and Allah creates this as an
instinct. For example, the sea lifts our spirits when we see it. Houses built on places with
views of the sea or along the sides of lakes are always more expensive, arent they? Allah
bestows this as a heavenly instinct. We have an instinct that draws us to water, a love of water.
We have a love of beautiful places, but this is never satisfied in this world, though it still
exists as an instinct inside us. For instance, there are no perfect women in this world, and no
perfect homes or perfect fruit, but we still feel these instinctively. When we eat an apple, we
say that there must be better fruit than this somewhere, but we cannot find. Yet in Paradise
there is the best of everything.
ADNAN OKTARS LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV
(13 January 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: For example, you pick an apple, but that apple is still on the branch. You
eat, but you are not satisfied, and there is always food in the bowl. You tell the bowl to come
to you, and up it gets. It is intelligent. Everything is intelligent. In fact, the mind of Allah is
everywhere, but He does not put it into action for us here. That is what happened with the
Prophet Moses (pbuh) staff. The mind and power of Allah are everywhere. The might of
Allah was also in the Prophet Moses (pbuh) staff. Moses (pbuh) cast the staff down and Allah
turned it into a snake that very moment. This is something quite extraordinary. He then told
the Prophet Moses (pbuh) to pick it up, and when he did so it straightaway turned back into a
staff. Wood turns into a snake, and then the snake turns back into wood. That is also how it is
in Paradise. Everything is conscious. For instance, whenever one wants to fly somewhere one
can do so. One can fly through the air with no wings and using no vehicle. One can travel
where one wants to be instantaneously, one just has to think of it. One can travel somewhere
hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in a very short space of time, in less than a second,
momentarily. Since there is no space, Allah will create the place for us instantaneously. In
other words, it will form in peoples brains. There will be matter on the outside, but it will
form in peoples brains.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KACKAR TV
(12 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: Objects move, whatever object you ask a question it will give you a
proper answer. You ask how it is, and it will say it is very well. Cats and dogs and rabbits. You
ask what they are up to, and they will say they are walking around, thanks be to Allah. You
call them to and they will come and sit on your shoulder. You can talk with them, and then
send them off. But that consciousness exists only in Paradise.
