New Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar (20 May 2016)

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE VERY PATIENT

Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rise to a higher spiritual status by virtue of how patient he is. He is very patient: May God allow us be his students insh' Allah.

Our Prophet (saas) says, "Dajjal’s siege won't be lifted from him until the last moment."

"Hazrat Mahdi (as) will display the utmost patience despite severe troubles and turmoils."

"Hazrat Mahdi (as) resembles Prophet Job (pbuh) with respect to his patience."

HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL HAVE A SPECIAL KIND OF KNOWLEDGE GRANTED TO HIM BY GOD

"Hz. Mahdi (as) will be granted the highest position of sainthood in afterlife" says our Prophet (saas). "The highest degree will be granted to him."

"Hazrat Mahdi (as) has the right to set precedent." "He will not earn this right by working, it will be given to him in heaven."  It will be given to him by God.

"Knowledge and good deeds will be bestowed upon Hazrat Mahdi (as) starting from his childhood."

According to the hadiths in Ibn Kathir, "Knowledge and dignity will be Hazrat Mahdi (as)'s ornaments."

"He doesn't need to acquire knowledge in detail." It means that he doesn't need to be educated in a university or in a similar place Because he will be sent by God in the most terrible stage of the End Times, tasked with the most important mission of all. For this reason, he will acquire his knowledge in an extraordinary way. Not through education. This fact is spoken of  by multiple scholars, and it's also explained in the hadiths.

HEAVEN IS THE PERFECT VERSION OF THE WORLD: IT IS NOT A PLACE WE WILL BE UNFAMILIAR WITH

Heaven is the more proper, the perfect version of the world. It is not a place we will be completely unfamiliar with.

Heaven has the most advanced versions of the all technical devices that are present in the world.  These are created in the same way as the ones in the world. The afterlife has  perfect versions of them. Cars, ships, planes, these are all present in the afterlife in their flawless forms. You can race cars or ships if you want. Everything that gives pleasure is present in  Heaven because those who have been there says so. They will say, ‘This is what we were given before.’ But they were only given a simulation of it. (Surah al-Baqara, 25) The ones in  Heaven are the original ones.  They will say, "This is what we were given before," but it had been just a simulation.

HEAVEN IS AS CLOSE AS A SINGLE STEP'S DISTANCE

Heaven is close, God says in the 31st verse of Surah Qaf, "And the Garden will be brought up close to those with faith, not far away." It is said that  Heaven is close, not far. People wrongly assume that it is far away, but in fact it is as close as a single step's distance. "The Garden will be brought near to those who have faith." (Surah Ash-Shu'ara', 90)

THE REAL LIFE WILL BEGIN IN  HEAVEN

The real life begins in Heaven. In the 64th verse of Surah Al-‘Ankabut God says, "The abode of the afterlife – that is truly Life if they only knew." God says that the real life begins in the afterlife. In 23rd verse of Surah Hud, God says, "As for those who have faith and do right actions and humble themselves before their Lord, they are the Companions of the Garden." Those who are devoted to God with their hearts full of sincerity, enthusiasm and satisfaction, will be able to go to Heaven.

HEAVEN IS THE LAND OF ETERNAL CELEBRATION, IT IS THE LAND OF LOVE

Heaven is the land of eternal celebration.  In Heaven, there is no sickness, no trouble, no distress. There is no sleep, no fatigue. You can travel however you want, but you have to praise God's name. There, you will praise God's name, you will be eternally thankful to God. There is no prayer there. When God appears before them - He appears in the form of a beautiful person - the believers immediately start to pray. God says, "Stop praying; from now on, no longer will there be prayer because you prayed enough. My opinion has already formed about you." "From now on, we will only greet each other, and you will manifest your love." God manifests His love to believers, and believers manifest their love towards God. God says He loves believers and the believers say they love God. Therefore, Heaven is the land of love.

IN HEAVEN, THE HEART IS THERE TO FEEL LOVE, THE LUNGS ARE THERE TO BREATH THE SWEET SCENT

There are no internal organs. Only the heart and the lungs. But not as we know them. Not even the heart is working as we know it. It doesn't pump blood. It is there to feel excitement and the lungs are there to breathe. It is there to breath the sweet scent of Heaven. You don't actually need to breathe, you don't need oxygen. But you will feel better when you breathe, because you are used to doing it in the world. You will breathe to take in the sweet scent of heaven. Normally, you don't need to breathe there.

IN HEAVEN, THE BELİEVERS WILL TAKE THE MOST PLEASURE FROM  SEEING THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD

In Heaven, the most exciting thing for the believers is to actually see God. They take immense pleasure when they see God. It creates a great excitement. When God greets them, believers become overjoyed. It is a special kind of joy. They lose themselves in the joy and excitement they feel.

IN HEAVEN, EVERYONE HAS AN OUTSTANDING MORALITY. THERE IS NO HATE, ANGER, FEAR OR SADNESS

Everyone has great character in Heaven. Almighty God says in 70th verse of Surah Ar-Rahman, "In them are sweet, lovely maidens." There is absolutely no hatred or anger. No fear. No discontent, no sadness; those are worldly feelings. About Heaven, God says in 108th verse of Surah Al-Kahf, "...remaining in them timelessly, for ever, with no desire to move away from them." No one will have any desire to move away from there.

WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR WORLDLY CULTURE IN HEAVEN

No one will need to be in servitude. However, because people like to be served in the world, in Heaven, young men and maidens will serve the believers.  They will bring the food. [But even that won’t be needed because] if you say "Come," the food will come to you on its own. If you wish for water, water will come to you. If you wish for a drink, a drink will appear. If you motion or wish, it will appear. But, [as an additional blessing] for the believers, servants will also be there, serving when asked. In other words, the culture you are used to in the world, will be there in Heaven. Because you are used to it in the world.

For example, there are beds in Heaven. When you see it, you will lie down on it immediately with a sigh of relief. Normally you won’t even need it. What will you do there? You would sleep on it. But you don't need sleep. Every corner of Heaven is like a bed. Whenever you like you can lie down. You can do everything you got used to in this world. For example, there are shoes. There are clothes. But you don't need shoes. Why would you need shoes? There are no thorns, no bushes in Heaven. There is nothing. İf you want, you can walk in the air with bare feet, but still there are shoes. For example you can wear a shirt. You can wear clothes. You can wear any outfit to look fancy. You do it because you like it, not because you need to. For example, there are pillows. Normally you don't need a pillow to put your head on. But if you are used to it, you would want it, and you can use it. Normally a pillow is to make you comfortable, to prevent neck pain. But there is no such thing as neck pain there. However still, there are ornate pillows specially created by God.

FOR THE TRIAL, THE WORLD IS CREATED DEFICIENT. GOD SAYS "IF I WISH FOR ENTERTAINMENT, I WOULD CREATE THE BEST," WE WILL SEE IT IN HEAVEN

God says, "If We had desired to have some amusement, We would have derived it from Our Presence. But We did not do that." (Surah Al-Anbiya’, 17) Because the world is deficient, because it is a world of trial, God says "I would not do it like this." God says that He deliberately created this world as deficient, flawed; it is for the purposes of the trial. He says, “If He wishes to do it, it would have befitted His  glory. God says, "If I wish, I will create the utmost perfection, glory, joy."

It is sufficient to be honest and sincere in the eyes of God. God says, "Those of my subjects who are sincere, they have gained salvation." Being sincere is very important.

In accordance with your degree of faith, the love you feel increases to the highest degree. In other words, you don't actually have to make an effort to love: Love is already there.

HAZRAT KHIDR (PBUH) CAN BE WHEREVER HE WANTS WHENEVER HE WANTS, AND HE CAN TAKE THE FORM OF ANY OBJECT, IT IS THE DESIGN OF HEAVEN 

In Heaven, you can become whatever you wish. "They will have there everything they want " Surah Qaf, 35. Whatever you want. For example you want to fly over a duck, so when you wish it, you can fly over a duck. If you want to fly alone, you can fly alone. Whatever you may think of, you can do it, for example you can squeeze into your shoes and fly in that way. Whatever you want. You can take any form. Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) can do it too. That characteristic of Heaven's life is partly given to Hazrat Khidr (pbuh) in this world. He can take the form of any object. He can be wherever he wants, whenever he wants. The design is very simple, it is the original design. However, for the trial in this world, God does not permit this design to work in this world. But that is the original design.

HELL IS A PLACE OF SPIRITUAL TORMENT

Hell is the place where every kind of distress and torment is experienced. God mentions a kind of fire which creeps into one's heart. Hell is the place of spiritual torment. That doesn't mean there is fire everywhere and cauldrons are boiling with fluids.  Almighty God mentions a kind of fire which creeps into one's heart. God already says it in a verse: "A Fire whose fuel is people and stones." The people bring their own torment to hell. They bring their own means of torment which will burn them. All the grievance one had in the world, will carry over to Hell. That sense of fear, distress, torment will not be lifted for them. Those feeling are lifted from the believers in Heaven. They are not lifted from the disbelievers. They carry their own fire there. They burn within their own fire.

HELL EXISTS TO MAKE BELIEVERS LOVE HEAVEN. DISBELIEVERS WILL CONTINUE THEIR INSOLENCE IN HELL

Hell exists to make believers love Heaven even more. It is Hell's primary reason for existence. Other than that, Hell is not really that important for the disbelievers. The people of Hell continue their impudence and insolence there too. In other words, disbelievers are not affected or influenced by Hell. God says, "They hide their regrets." What does it mean to hide one's regrets? It means they will continue to be insolent. They say, "Ask your God to send food for us, the kind of food you get to eat." The disbeliever himself doesn't ask God for food; he is too proud to do it himself.
