July 26th, 2012: A9 TV Adnan Oktar: Christians are our dear brothers. Jews are our dear brothers. If we become allies, we can abolish the irreligious system of the dajjal (anti-christ) through knowledge and intellect. Our Prophet (saas) is saying this in his hadiths and Bediuzzaman is saying this in the Letters of Light (Risale-i Nur Collection). We are struggling against the system of the dajjal together and heart-to-heart with Christians and we are determined to continue this struggle. Christians are our brothers, sisters and friends because they believe in the Prophets and say, “Allah is one.” They believe in the hereafter, paradise and hell. So we can ally with then against the system of the dajjal and we are and we will. They are trying to make it seem like there is such an unfavorable atmosphere. They will make it seem as if Muslims have enmity against Jews and Christians, and as a result Muslims will go to war against both Christians and Jews and the world will be devastated: This is called the system of the dajjal. Those who encourage this are dajjals. The system of the Mahdi will be in cooperation with Jews and Christians. Kral Karadeniz TV: January 30th, 2009 Adnan Oktar: The Turkish Islamic Union must emphasize its good intentions, love, compassion and mercy really well, WE NEED TO ESPECIALLY MAKE OUR CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH BROTHERS FEEL OUR DETERMINATION TO PROTECT THEM. We must make them feel that they are our dear brothers and sisters and we cannot be separated. Egypt Middle East News Agency: September 6th, 2008 Adnan Oktar: The command regarding the People of the Book is clear in the Qur’an; it is also very clear in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas). THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ARE OUR BROTHERS. ARMENIANS, JEWS, ORTHODOX, PROTESTANTS; I MEAN THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, ARE ALL OUR BROTHERS. WE ALL BELIEVE IN THE SAME ALLAH. CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND MUSLIMS HAVE THE SAME ALLAH. THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME BELIEFS; BECAUSE OF THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK ARE A BLESSING. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK THAN TO HAVE THOSE PEOPLE IN AN IRRELIGIOUS AND DEVIANT CIRCLE. This is not a discomfort for Muslims. It is very reasonable because Allah already states that the People of the Book exist in the Qur’an. They have good deeds to do. Muslims have good deeds to do. We can live with them as brothers, we can speak with them; we can converse with them. We can eat and drink with them. We can have Christian and Jewish brides. We can have social relations with them. They are trustworthy people. If a man has a wife and children and they are in the same family, then this means a very strong sense of friendship and love. |
