The Eternity Has Already Begun-3
DEATH IS NOT EXTINCTION
Death is also one of the issues about which people have misconceptions. Someone who dies is regarded as simply perishing. Because they have inadequate information regarding the hereafter, the eternal life, paradise and hell, people commonly either never believe in resurrection after death or harbour vague convictions about it. Consequently, the majority surmise they lose someone for ever when he or she dies. This is surely a completely bigoted stance. By the time one is born (once he is brought into the realm of existence by God), one’s eternal life has begun. Like all other moments composing one’s lifetime, death is merely a single moment that one experiences, but, in reality, that person is still alive. All moments before and after death and everything pertaining to one’s life are preserved without changing. For instance, after the death of someone people mourn and say, "It is unfortunate that he died; he was so young." However, all the details of one’s life, memories of childhood, birth and family still exist. They do not fade or become extinct. All experiences are preserved. As a requisite of the test in this world, these memories are simply wiped from one’s memory; however, this, is by no means, the equivalent of their not existing.
In the sight of God, the birth, life and death of a man take place and finish simultaneously. The same reasoning applies to all human beings. All human beings are coming into existence and dying right at this moment. All are being resurrected and being sent to paradise or hell. Thus, no one dies and nobody is reduced to insignificance; all individuals are alive for all eternity. Within eternity, man spends only a portion of his time in the world, and during this period where he is doomed to go—either paradise or hell— is known. Just at this moment, some of the people currently living in this world are in paradise while others are in hell. This fact is stressed in the Qur’an; in many verses relating to paradise and hell, the life in the hereafter is referred to in the simple present or past tense, which draws one’s attention to the fact that all these incidents are taking place at a single moment:
In human life, another important mystery prevails. While mourning for someone who has died, people do not consider that they, themselves, have also died and even been resurrected. The birth and death of a person occur simultaneously. Even trivial details about all people’s lives, deaths, resurrections and eternal lives are retained in the sight of God. In other words, everything is taking place right at this moment. Death and resurrection are truly not incidents occurring at distinct times.

People are born in timelessness. Likewise, they die in timelessness, they are resurrected in timelessness and, as a matter of fact, just at this moment, they are alive. By the moment God creates man, he becomes an eternal being. To put it another way, he starts his endless life, becoming alive for all eternity. Meanwhile, he also witnesses his own death as a single square. Just as he sees himself alive all through his life, he witnesses his death, but only on one occasion.
An example will further clarify this subject. In the Qur’an, God informs us that sleep is also created as a form of death. Thus, every night one witnesses his death when he goes to sleep and witnesses his resurrection when he wakes up in the morning. This fact is manifested in the following verse:
Hence, man unceasingly witnesses his death and resurrection all through his life. Similarly, he will also see his real death. Consequently, his birth, death and resurrection as well as his eternal abode are all known and man is forever alive in the sight of God. All these incidents have taken place and finished in the sight of God. That is why, death, in the sense that it is commonly understood, is not a termination or extinction.
Considering these facts, mourning for someone who dies and feeling sorry for his death sound simply irrational. A young man, a child or a healthy person who dies does not, after all, perish; each exists in his best state. In the sight of God, each is alive. This is a clear indication of God’s greatness, which is also stated in the Qur’an:
NOT A DROP OF WATER DISAPPEARS
What has been related so far is also valid for running water. Each drop of a stream, a spring, a fountain, an artesian well, or a fall is kept in the sight of God. Not a drop disappears and is wasted. It continues to exist for all eternity. As is the case with living beings, all moments and states pertaining to them are hidden in God's memory. All waters which have run ever since the beginning of the universe, the ones currently running, as well as the ones which will run in the future are actually running just at this moment. That is to say, all are running at this single moment. There is a time in eternity and all incidents take place in one moment.
The water which ran 300 years ago in the Mississippi, and the water which ran 500 years ago in the Rhine as well as the water which will run in 200 years time in the River Euphrates are, in reality, running simultaneously in a single moment. They are all running at this very moment. Not a drop of water disappears; it continues to run forever in the sight of God.
GOING BACK TO THE BEGINNING IS ALSO POSSIBLE
That everything is in the memory of God brings us to another important mystery: by the will of God, going back to the initial moment of an event is also possible. Being bound by time, such an incident seems impossible for man. Yet, in the sight of God, time does not exist. As stressed earlier, past and present are all a single moment; just as a videotape cassette includes all the actions moment by moment. After watching a film, it is possible to rewind and re-watch it. Likewise, the same is true for daily events; by the will of God, it is possible to see past events again. It is surely easy for God to recreate a past event.
An example will contribute to a fuller understanding of these facts: The gardens ofSaba' that have been converted into "gardens containing bitter-tasting plants and tamarisk and a few lote trees" (Surah Saba': 16), as referred to in the Qur’an, are still in the sight of God. The state of the garden both before and after its destruction remains in the memory of God. Thousands of years ago, in a remote part of the world, the transformation of a beautiful garden into a wheat field is in the sight of God. A house built on this wheat field after hundreds of years, as well as the collapse of this building and construction of a workshop in its place are all present in the sight of God. Finally, the current state of this wheat field, now a region populated with ghettos, is also present in the sight of God. All the intermediary stages in between these views of the same area, too, are in the sight of God for all eternity. By the will of God, it is possible to go back and see the initial appearance of this garden.
Surely, all beings and incidents that have existed since the beginning of the universe are in the memory of God. None of these moments are missing. This is indeed a remarkable phenomenon. This fact is a great blessing for believers in paradise, since they might wish to see their past life or certain historical events. By the will of God, believers might actually have the opportunity to see these events.
For instance, one might wish to see the big-bang, the first moment of the creation of the universe, the initial formation of galaxies, the initial stages of the first atom, the phases one goes through in one’s mother’s womb, a war which took place in ancient times, the lives of living beings in the depths of oceans, the sinking of the Titanic, the childhood of one’s mother, the life of one’s grandson, a cat lost years ago or a plant planted in childhood. All these events, with all their details are present in the sight of God. In this sense, by the will of God, man has the chance to see whatever he wishes, which is surely of great blessing to him.
Death is also one of the issues about which people have misconceptions. Someone who dies is regarded as simply perishing. Because they have inadequate information regarding the hereafter, the eternal life, paradise and hell, people commonly either never believe in resurrection after death or harbour vague convictions about it. Consequently, the majority surmise they lose someone for ever when he or she dies. This is surely a completely bigoted stance.

Truly, the Companions of the Garden that Day have joy in all that they do; they and their associates are in shady groves, reclining on Thrones (of dignity). (Surah Ya sin: 55-56)
And those who feared their Lord were led to the Garden in crowds: until behold, they arrived there; its gates were opened; and its keepers said: "Peace be upon you! You have led good lives! Enter Paradise and dwell in it forever." They said: "Praise be to God, Who has truly fulfilled His Promise to us, and has given us this land as a heritage: We can dwell in the Garden as we will: how excellent a reward for the righteous!" And you see the angels surrounding the Divine Throne on all sides, glorifying their Lord with praise. They are judged with fairness and all say: "Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds!" (Surat az-Zumar: 73-75)
And the sinful saw the fire and realised they are going to fall into it and find no way of escaping from it. (Surat al-Kahf: 53)
In human life, another important mystery prevails. While mourning for someone who has died, people do not consider that they, themselves, have also died and even been resurrected. The birth and death of a person occur simultaneously. Even trivial details about all people’s lives, deaths, resurrections and eternal lives are retained in the sight of God. In other words, everything is taking place right at this moment. Death and resurrection are truly not incidents occurring at distinct times.

God takes back people's selves when their death arrives and those who have not yet died, while they are asleep. He keeps hold of those whose death has been decreed and sends the others back for a specified term. There are certainly Signs in that for people who reflect. (Surat az-Zumar: 42)
Hence, man unceasingly witnesses his death and resurrection all through his life. Similarly, he will also see his real death. Consequently, his birth, death and resurrection as well as his eternal abode are all known and man is forever alive in the sight of God. All these incidents have taken place and finished in the sight of God. That is why, death, in the sense that it is commonly understood, is not a termination or extinction.

A young man, a child or a healthy person who dies does not, after all, perish; each exists in his best state. In the sight of God, each is alive. This is a clear indication of God’s greatness, which is also stated in the Qur’an:
God, there is no deity except Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat al-Baqarah: 255)
NOT A DROP OF WATER DISAPPEARS
 Waters all over the universe are also running at a single moment. Even a drop of water does not disappear; it is preserved in the sight of God for all eternity. |
The water which ran 300 years ago in the Mississippi, and the water which ran 500 years ago in the Rhine as well as the water which will run in 200 years time in the River Euphrates are, in reality, running simultaneously in a single moment. They are all running at this very moment. Not a drop of water disappears; it continues to run forever in the sight of God.

 The states in which these areas were 1000 years ago or 500 years ago together with the foundations, which will be built on in the future, actually exist at a single moment. |
Surely, all beings and incidents that have existed since the beginning of the universe are in the memory of God. None of these moments are missing. This is indeed a remarkable phenomenon.

COULD LIFE HAVE COME FROM OUTER SPACE?
When Darwin put forward his theory in the middle of the nineteenth century, he never mentioned how the origin of life, in other words the first living cell, came to be. Scientists looking for the origin of life at the beginning of the twentieth century began to realise that the theory was invalid. The complex and perfect structure in life prepared the ground for many researchers to perceive the truth of creation. Mathematical calculations and scientific experiment and observation demonstrated that life could not be the "product of chance," as the theory of evolution claimed.
With the collapse of the claim that coincidence was responsible and the realisation that life was "planned," some scientists began to look for the origin of life in outer space. The best-known of the scientists who made such claims were Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe. These two cobbled together a scenario in which they proposed that there was a force which "seeded" life in space. According to the scenario, these seeds were carried through the emptiness of space by gas or dust clouds, or else by an asteroid, and eventually reached the Earth, and life thus started here.
Nobel Prize-winner Francis Crick, co-discoverer with James Watson of the double helix structure of DNA, is one of those who has sought the origin of life in outer space. Crick came to realise that it is quite unreasonable to expect life to have started by chance, but he has claimed instead that life on Earth was started by intelligent "extraterrestrial" powers.
As we have seen, the idea that life came from outer space has influenced prominent scientists. The matter is now even discussed in writings and debates on the origin of life. The idea of looking for the origin of life in outer space can be considered from two basic perspectives.
Scientific inconsistency.
The key to evaluating the "life began in outer space" thesis lies in studying the meteorites that reached the Earth and the clouds of gas and dust existing in space. No evidence has yet been found to support the claim that celestial bodies contained non-earthly creatures that eventually seeded life on Earth. No research that has been carried out so far has revealed any of the complex macromolecules that appear in life forms.
Furthermore, the substances contained in meteorites do not possess a certain kind of asymmetry found in the macromolecules that constitute life. For instance, amino acids, which make up proteins, which are themselves the basic building blocks of life, should theoretically occur as both left- and right-handed forms ("optical isomers") in roughly equal numbers. However, only left-handed amino acids are found in proteins, whereas this asymmetric distribution does not occur among the small organic molecules (the carbon-based molecules found in living things) discovered in meteorites. The latter exist in both left- and right-handed forms.1
That is by no means the end of the obstacles to the thesis that bodies and substances in outer space gave rise to life on Earth. Those who maintain such an idea need to be able to explain why such a process is not happening now, because the Earth is still being bombarded by meteorites. However, study of these meteorites has not revealed any "seeding" to confirm the thesis in any way.
Another question confronting the defenders of the thesis is this: Even if it is accepted that life was formed by a consciousness in outer space, and that it somehow reached Earth, how did the millions of species on Earth come about? That is a huge dilemma for those who suggest that life began in space.
Alongside all of these obstacles, no trace has been found in the universe of a civilisation or life form that could have started life on Earth. No astronomical observations, which have picked up enormous speed in the last 30 years, have given any indication of the presence of such a civilisation.
What lies behind the "extraterrestrial" thesis?
As we have seen, the theory that life on Earth was begun by extraterrestrials has no scientific basis to it. No discoveries have been made to confirm or support it. However, when the scientists who put forward the suggestion began to look in that direction, they did so because they perceived one important truth.
The truth in question is that a theory that seeks to explain life on Earth as being the result of chance is no longer tenable. It has been realised that the complexity revealed in the life forms on Earth can only be the product of intelligent design. In fact, the areas of expertise of the scientists who sought the origin of life in outer space give a clue as to their rejection of the logic of the theory of evolution.
Both are world-renowned scientists: Fred Hoyle is an astronomer and bio-mathematician, and Francis Crick a molecular biologist.
One point which needs to be considered is that those scientists who look to outer space to find the origin of life do not actually make any new interpretation of the matter. Scientists such as Hoyle, Wickramasinghe, and Crick began to consider the possibility that life came from space because they realised that life could not have come about by chance. Since it was impossible for life on Earth to have begun by chance, they had to accept the existence of a source of intelligent design in outer space.
However, the theory put forward by them on the subject of the origin of this intelligent design is contradictory and meaningless. Modern physics and astronomy have revealed that our universe originated as a result of a huge explosion some 12-15 billion years ago known as "The Big Bang." All matter in the universe came about from that explosion. For this reason, any idea that seeks the origin of life on Earth in another matterbased life form in the universe has to explain in turn how that form of life came into existence. The meaning of this is that such a suggestion does not actually solve the problem, but takes it one step further back. (For more detail, see Harun Yahya's books The Creation of the Universe and Timelessness and The Reality of Fate).
As we have seen, the thesis that "life came from outer space" does not support evolution, but is a view that reveals the impossibility of evolution and accepts that there can be no other explanation for life than intelligent design. The scientists who suggested this began with a correct analysis but then went down a false road, and started the silly search for the origin of life in outer space.
It is obvious that the concept of "extraterrestrials" cannot account for the origin of life. Even if we accept for one moment the hypothesis that "extraterrestrials" actually exist, it is still clear that they could not have come into being by chance, but must themselves be the product of intelligent design. (That is because the laws of physics and chemistry are the same everywhere in the universe, and they make it impossible for life to emerge by chance.) This shows that God, Who is beyond matter and time, and possesses infinite might, wisdom, and knowledge, created the universe and everything in it.

Scientific inconsistency.
 It is not possible for meteors to carry a living organism to Earth because of the intense heat generated when they enter the atmosphere and the violence of impact when they land. Above: A large meteor crater in Arizona. Even if we accept there are living things in outer space, it is still impossible to account for their origins in any other way than through creation. |
Furthermore, the substances contained in meteorites do not possess a certain kind of asymmetry found in the macromolecules that constitute life. For instance, amino acids, which make up proteins, which are themselves the basic building blocks of life, should theoretically occur as both left- and right-handed forms ("optical isomers") in roughly equal numbers.

 EVOLUTIONISTS' "EXTRATERRESTRIAL" DILEMMA Claims that the origin of life could lie in space, or even "extraterrestrials," are nothing more than science fiction. No concrete evidence can be supplied to back them up, and news and comments on the subject just consist of speculation that "it could have happened." In fact, these scenarios are quite impossible. Even if we assume that some organic compounds were carried to Earth by meteors, it is a chemical, physical, and mathematical fact that these compounds could not have given rise to life by themselves. The fantasy that life on Earth could have been created by "extraterrestrials" is a ploy by means of which evolutionists try to avoid admitting the existence of God, since life cannot be explained by chance. But this is totally meaningless, too, because the "extraterrestrial" thesis just takes the question one step back, and leads to the question: "Who created the extraterrestrials?" Reason and science lead us to an Absolute Being who created us and all living things, though He Himself was not created and has existed forever. That means God, the Creator of everything. |
One point which needs to be considered is that those scientists who look to outer space to find the origin of life do not actually make any new interpretation of the matter. Scientists such as Hoyle, Wickramasinghe, and Crick began to consider the possibility that life came from space because they realised that life could not have come about by chance.

(For more detail, see Harun Yahya's books The Creation of the Universe and Timelessness and The Reality of Fate).
| THE SUPERSTITION EVOLUTIONISTS SO BLINDLY BELIEVE IN: Inanimate matter + Time = Millions of complex living species The above formula is the shortest way of expressing the theory of evolution. Evolutionists believe that inanimate and unconscious collections of atoms and molecules came together and organised themselves over time, finally becoming alive and turning into millions of exceedingly complex and perfect living species. This superstition is backed up by no known physical or chemical law. On the contrary, the laws of physics and chemistry show that time has a "disorganising, destructive" effect, not an "organising" one (the Second Law of Thermodynamics). Actually, the "time" factor is nothing but a deception used by evolutionists to take their theory out of the field of observation. Since no "evolutionary process" which creates new living things can be observed in nature, evolutionists try to gloss over this fact by saying: "Yes, evolution cannot be observed, but it may have taken place over the previous millions of years." This claim is also torn down by the fossil record, which shows that no evolutionary process ever happened. |
It is obvious that the concept of "extraterrestrials" cannot account for the origin of life. Even if we accept for one moment the hypothesis that "extraterrestrials" actually exist, it is still clear that they could not have come into being by chance, but must themselves be the product of intelligent design.

Miracles of Reproduction in Frogs
Many suppose that frogs multiply through hatching eggs and developing "tadpoles". However, there are many other types of frog reproduction of which some are quite surprising.Frogs have been created with traits that enable them to survive in a variety of environments. Therefore, they can live in every continent apart from Antarctica; there are species of frogs living in deserts, forests, meadows and the Himalayas and Andes, where altitudes exceed 5000 meters. The densest populations are scattered throughout the tropical regions. Approximately forty species of frogs have been identified within a 2 square kilometer piece of rain forest.
In some species of frogs, only males care for the newly born, whereas in others only females do or both partners do. For example, males of the "dart-poison frog" of Costa Rica keep watch, waiting for the eggs to hatch, for up to 10-12 days. Through great efforts, the newly born tadpoles climb and hold on to the back of the mother so tightly that they appear to have been welded on. Then the mother climbs onto a bromeliad in the forest. The flowers of this tree are shaped like goblets pointing skyward, and are filled with water. The mother releases the newly born frogs into these flowers, where they grow safely.
Since there is no food in these waters, the mother frequently lays unfertilized eggs in the flowers for the newly born frogs. The tadpoles feed on these eggs, which are rich in protein and carbohydrates.
The "gladiator frog" is another species that defends the area in which are the eggs. The males of these frogs have been created with pin-like extensions under their thumbs, with which they rip the skin off an intruder male.
The male small African toad (Nectophyrne afra) constructs nests out of mud, which are filled with water to form ponds, on the coasts of lakes or slow flowing rivers. The frog makes a fragile layer of film on the surface of the water to which the eggs attach themselves. This way, the eggs stay on the surface of the water in order to inhale oxygen. Since a minute vibration caused by another frog or a dragonfly's flying past can destroy this film and send the eggs to the bottom of the water, where they would be left to die without oxygen, the male frog guards the eggs. While waiting, it kicks its feet in the water in order to increase oxygen flow through the membranes of the eggs.
Another species, called the glass frog due to its transparency, does not keep watch over its eggs. God inspires another method in these frogs; they leave groups of eggs on the rocks and plants of the tropical lakes or rivers. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles drop into the water.
All of these various conscious and self-sacrificing behavioral patterns, displayed by different species of frogs as acts of defense for the newly born tadpoles, demolish the fundamental assumptions of Darwinism. The assertion of Darwinism that all creatures are in an individual and selfish struggle for survival comes to an inevitable dead end in the face of the efforts of a single frog to defend its newly born offspring. Furthermore, the intelligent behavior shown by these creatures cannot be explained away as occurring through coincidence as argued by Darwinism. These are clear signs that living things have been created by God and are directed by the instincts inspired in them. God states in Qur'an that there are clear proofs in living things for all people:
And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about there are Signs for people with certainty. (Surat al-Jathiyya, 4)
Frogs Reproduced in the Stomach
The extraordinary reproduction method of a species of frog called Rheobatrachus silus, is another example of the superb design in the creation of God. Female Rheobatrachus frogs swallow their eggs after fertilization, not to eat them but to protect them. The hatching tadpoles remain and grow in the stomach for the first six weeks after hatching. How is it possible that they can remain in their mother's stomach that long without being digested?
A flawless system has been created to enable them to do so. First, the female ceases to feed for those six weeks, which means the stomach is reserved solely for the tadpoles. However, another danger is the regular release of hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach. These chemicals would normally quickly kill the offspring. However, this is prevented by a very special measure. The fluids in the stomach of the mother are neutralized by the hormone like substance prostaglandin E2, which is secreted first by the egg capsules and then by the tadpoles. Hence, the offspring grow healthily, even though they are swimming in a pool of acid.
How do the tadpoles feed inside the empty stomach? The solution to this has been thought of, too. The eggs of this species are significantly larger than those of others, as they contain a yoke very rich in proteins, sufficient to feed the tadpoles for six weeks. The time of birth is designed perfectly as well. The esophagus of the female frog dilates during birth, just like the vagina of mammals during delivery. Once the young have emerged, the esophagus and the stomach both return to normal, and the female starts feeding again.
The miraculous reproductive system of Rheobatrachus silus explicitly invalidates the theory of evolution, since this system is irreducibly complex. Every step has to take place fully in order for the frogs to survive. The mother has to swallow the eggs, and has to stop feeding completely for 6 weeks. The eggs have to release a hormone like substance to neutralize stomach acids. The addition of the extra protein-rich yolk to the egg is another necessity. The widening of the female's esophagus cannot be coincidental. If all these things failed to happen in the requisite sequence, the froglets would not survive and the species would face extinction.
Therefore, this system cannot have developed step-by-step, as asserted by the theory of evolution. The very first frog of the Rheobatrachus silus species existed with this complete flawless system. All of the creatures examined throughout this book prove the same fact: there is a supreme design in creation encompassing all nature. God created all living things with irreducible complexity, in which His infinite power and knowledge are illustrated for those who examine them. The flawless creation of God is depicted as follows:
He is God - the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
"The Most Impressive Attack on Evolution: Atlas of Creation" - 19.09.2007
Germany/Kölner Stadt-Anzeige
On 19 September, 2007, daily Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger (KSTA), published in the German cities of Cologne and Bonn, carried a report concerning Atlas of Creation. Under the heading “The Truth about Harun Yahya,” the report by Helmut Frangenberg said:
The 800-page Atlas of Creation, weighing approximately 7 kilos, has been sent to teachers of biology and philosophy in Cologne. The sender of this expensive gift is Adnan Oktar, who wishes to turn the world onto the true path through his books and documentary films and who writes under the pen name Harun Yahya. The message in the author’s “Invitation to the Truth” is this: The theory of evolution is a deception, whereas Creation is an absolute fact.
Adnan Oktar is one of the proponents of anti-evolutionary Creationism who has the most destructive impact [on evolution].
The movement has set up a whirlwind in America, too… Adnan Oktar takes extracts from the Qur’an and strives in the name of Islamic Creationism.
Atlas of Creation is Adnan Oktar’s masterpiece. It is a rather costly book printed on glossy paper consisting of stunning illustrations of fossils. The English-language edition of the magazine Science referred to Atlas of Creation as “the most gorgeous-looking attack on evolution seen in a long time…” The marketing of the book has been perfectly planned. So much so that the book reached all the teachers in Cologne on the same day.
... It is a fact that if children and young people turn over the pages of the book they will inevitably be influenced by its magnificent presentation. The wolf skulls, fish, insect or hyena fossils in the Atlas all send out the same message: They have remained unchanged for millions of years and evolution never happened.

ASH-SHAKUR, (The Appreciative; He Who Is Responsive To Gratitude)
If you make a generous loan to Allah He will multiply it for you and forgive you. Allah is most Ready to appreciate [service], Most Clement. ( Surat at-Taghabun, 17)
Allah gives countless blessings to us and only asks each of us to be a grateful servant. Allah draws our attention to the importance of being grateful in Surah Ibrahim, 7 " ...And when your Lord announced: 'If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase; but if you are ungrateful, My punishment is severe.'”
One who does not give thanks for all of these blessings will be repaid in the Hereafter, for Allah's infinite justice requires this. However, Allah is very compassionate toward His servants, as the Qur'an states:
Allah does not wrong anyone by so much as the smallest speck. And if there is a good deed, Allah will multiply it and pay out an immense reward direct from Him. ( Surat an-Nisa,' 40)
Whoever does a good deed for Allah's cause will be rewarded with what is better on the Day of Judgment.
That is the good news that Allah gives to His servants who believe and do right actions. Say: “I do not ask you for any wage for this—except for you to love your near of kin. If anyone does a good action, We will increase the good of it for him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful.” ( Surat ash-Shura, 23)
That He will pay them their wages in full and give them more from His unbounded favor. He is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful. (Surah Fatir, 30)
They will say: “Praise be to Allah, Who has removed all sadness from us. Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful.” (Surah Fatir, 34)
Why Darwin Was Wrong?
Darwin claimed that the non-existent transitional forms will be obtained in the future when more fossils will be found. But in spite of countless fossil specimens, no even single intermediate fossil has been found during the 150 years after Darwin. Darwin was wrong; and today's Darwinists still maintain this biggest mistake.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY BOSNA TV (June 2008)
Mr. Adnan Oktar, in his interview broadcasted by Bosnian television expresses his deep affection and respect for the legendary leader of Bosnia – Herzegovina, the great Islamic thinker, Mr. Alija Izzetbegovic and he defines this blessed person as “the smiling face of Islam, enlightened, high-quality, eminent, precious and important leader of the Islamic world.” Mr.Oktar also states that he is very pleased with the deep impact of his books that are translated into Bosnian, on the people of Bosnia .
When Mr.Adnan Oktar is asked about the time he had spent in prison and about the prices Muslim intellectuals are made to pay he says: “This is their destiny, their ornament and their beauty. If one is a man with a cause, he will go down that road, just like the Prophet Yusuf. When he sets off this road, he is well aware of the price and accepts the consequences of it.”
He then states that Darwinism had been annihilated in its own bastions. That it had been obliterated in France and Germany, and in its birthplace, England and that there is no more danger in this respect.
In response to a question regarding the Islamic Union Mr. Adnan Oktar says: “The circumstances are now ideal for the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union. There are virtually no obstacles at present.It is as if someone calls out for a union it will be formed instantly.” He continues : “InshaAllah, this century will be one of peace, prosperity and security, the age of Islam. The 19th and 20th centuries were the age of materialism, and the late 20th and 21st will be that of Islam. Everyone says that, from British Prime Minister Tony Blair down. The CIA says so. The KGB says so”

CRUDE UNDERSTANDING OF DISBELIEF
God, in the Qur’an, calls the culture of people who are not subject to the religion of God "ignorance." Only a comparison of this culture with the honorable thoughts and moral structure of the Qur’an can reveal its primitive and corrupted nature. The purpose of this book is to take this comparison further, displaying the extent of the "primitive rationale" of ignorant societies.

1-Darwinists never realize that the odds of proteins emerging from left-handed amino acids only are 1 in 10210, that the probability of such a thing happening is equivalent to zero, and that this cannot have come about by chance.
2-Darwinists never realize how amino acids, made up of unconscious atoms with no ability to see or hear, are able to constitute proteins, which are essential for life and possess the most perfect structures.
3-Darwinists never realize that the amino acids they claim came into existence by chance know how to assume the correct sequence for each protein and do this in an error-free manner.
4-Darwinists never realize how the atoms in the minuscule protein molecule are arranged according to a blueprint and design, how they fold and bend in the light of these, and how this special structure is determined for each and every protein.
5-Darwinists never realize why the nerve cell, which they claim came into being as the result of blind coincidences, should feel the need to convert a scent into an electrical signal.
6-Darwinists never realize how the brain, they maintain emerged by chance, functions without interruption, ad with no nerves tangling.
7-Darwinists never realize how the atoms, they maintain behave in a random manner, come to constitute the tear gland.
8-Darwinists never realize how the eyebrows, which they claim formed as the result of unconscious processes, consciously decide to stop growing once they have reached a particular length.
9-Darwinists never realize how the eyelashes, which they claim formed by chance, stop growing in a conscious manner once a specific length has been reached, and yet how the hair continues growing.
10-Darwinists never realize how the body decides to halt production when the level of iron rises, how it is able to behave in an intelligent manner, and how that intelligence can never be explained by the theory of evolution in any way whatsoever.
