ALLAH ACCEPTS REPENTANCE AND FORGIVES THOSE WHO FEEL REMORSE
Allah, Who possesses infinite forgiveness, reveals that:
If Allah were to punish people for their wrong actions, not a single creature would be left on Earth. However, He defers them until a predetermined time. When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour, nor can they bring it forward. (Surat an-Nahl, 61)
Even while you are reading this article, Allah has allotted a specific period of time for you and all other people. This is a most beneficial period for the believers. Every person who fears, respects, and obeys Allah and then turns to Him in repentance for every sin that he or she has committed will receive forgiveness, as long as they are sincere.
Allah’s infinite compassion is revealed in the following verse:
Were it not for Allah’s favor to you and His mercy... and that Allah is Ever-Returning, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nur, 10)
Since Allah is the possessor of infinite mercy, there is always the hope of forgiveness. Our Lord gives the opportunity of salvation to each person as long as he or she is alive, and has made everyone aware of this fact. Despite all of Allah’s blessings and mercy, those who forget Him or lead a life without thinking about their reliance upon Allah are, in reality, in a state of absolute heedlessness. Unable to appropriately acknowledge Allah’s mercy, love, and blessings in this life, they will be punished in the Hereafter.
Allah reinforces with His help whoever He wills. There is instruction in that for people of insight. (Surah al ‘Imran, 13)
Every day, a war is fought in the innermost parts of your body unperceived by you. On the one side are viruses and bacteria that aim to intrude into your body and take it under control and on the other are the immunity cells that protect the body against these enemies.
The enemies wait in an offensive state to make their way into the area they aim at and they head towards the target area at the first opportunity. However, the strong, organized and disciplined soldiers of the target area do not easily give in to the enemies. First, the soldiers who swallow and neutralize the enemy soldiers (phagocytes) arrive at the battleground. However, sometimes the fight is tougher than these soldiers can handle. On such occasions, other soldiers (macrophages) are summoned up. Their involvement causes alarm in the target area and other soldiers (auxiliary T cells) are also called to battle.
These soldiers are very familiar with the local populace. They quickly distinguish their own army from that of the enemy. They immediately activate the soldiers assigned to weapon production (B cells). These soldiers have extraordinary abilities. Although they never see the enemy, they can produce weapons which will render the enemy ineffectual. In addition, they carry the weapons they produce as far as they should be taken. During this journey, they succeed in the difficult task of not causing any harm either to themselves or to their allies. Later, the striker teams cut in (killer T cells). These discharge the poisonous material they carry on themselves at the most vital spot of the enemy. In case of victory, another group of soldiers arrives at the battleground (oppressive T cells) and sends all the warriors back to their camp. The soldiers who arrive at the battleground last (memory cells) record all relevant information about the enemy, so that it can be used in the event of a similar invasion in the future.
The excellent army discussed above is the immunity system in the human body. Everything explained above is done by microscopic cells unobservable to the naked eye. (For more information please see For Men of Understanding: The Signs in the Heavens and the Earth by Harun Yahya)
How many people are aware that they have such an organized, disciplined and perfect army inside their bodies? How many of them are aware that they are surrounded on all sides by microbes that, if unimpeded, would cause them to catch serious illnesses or even die? Indeed, there are many dangerous microbes in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the surfaces we touch. While one is unaware of all that is going on, the cells in one's body make strenuous efforts to save one from an illness that may even bring about one's death.
The ability of all immunity cells to distinguish enemy cells from body cells, the ability of B cells to prepare a weapon to neutralize the enemy that they have never seen, their ability to carry these weapons as far as they have to be taken without adversely affecting any body cells, the signal-receiving cells' fulfilling their duty completely without making any objections, each of them knowing what to do, their returning to their places without any problem as soon as they are finished with their work, and the abilities of the memory cells are only some of the distinctive characteristics of this system.
For all these reasons, the story of the formation of the immunity system is never taken up by any evolutionist writer.
It is extremely difficult for a person without an immunity system or with an ill-functioning one to survive, since he would be exposed to all the microbes and viruses in the outside world. Today, such people can exist only in special enclosures with no direct contact with anyone or anything outside. Therefore, it is impossible for a person without an immunity system to survive in a primitive environment. This leads us to the fact that an extremely complex system such as the immunity system could only have been created all at once and with all of its elements.
Evolutionists claim that one day, a species dwelling in water somehow stepped onto land and was transformed into a land-dwelling species.
There are a number of obvious facts that render such a transition impossible:
1. Weight-bearing: Sea-dwelling creatures have no problem in bearing their own weight in the sea.
However, most land-dwelling creatures consume 40% of their energy just in carrying their bodies around. Creatures making the transition from water to land would at the same time have had to develop new muscular and skeletal systems (!) to meet this energy need, and this could not have come about by chance mutations.
2. Heat Retention: On land, the temperature can change quickly, and fluctuates over a wide range. Land-dwelling creatures possess a physical mechanism that can withstand such great temperature changes. However, in the sea, the temperature changes slowly and within a narrower range. A living organism with a body system regulated according to the constant temperature of the sea would need to acquire a protective system to ensure minimum harm from the temperature changes on land. It is preposterous to claim that fish acquired such a system by random mutations as soon as they stepped onto land.
3. Water: Essential to metabolism, water needs to be used economically due to its relative scarcity on land. For instance,, the skin has to be able to permit a certain amount of water loss, while also preventing excessive evaporation. That is why land-dwelling creatures experience thirst, something the sea-dwelling creatures do not do. For this reason, the skin of sea-dwelling animals is not suitable for a nonaquatic habitat.
4. Kidneys: Sea-dwelling organisms discharge waste materials, especially ammonia, by means of their aquatic environment. On land, water has to be used economically. This is why these living beings have a kidney system. Thanks to the kidneys, ammonia is stored by being converted into urea and the minimum amount of water is used during its excretion. In addition, new systems are needed to provide the kidney's functioning. In short, in order for the passage from water to land to have occurred, living things without a kidney would have had to develop a kidney system all at once.
5. Respiratory system: Fish "breathe" by taking in oxygen dissolved in water that they pass through their gills. They canot live more than a few minutes out of water. In order to survive on land, they would have to acquire a perfect lung system all of a sudden.
It is most certainly impossible that all these dramatic physiological changes could have happened in the same organism at the same time, and all by chance.
SWITZERLAND/ISN SECURITY WATCH
On 12 March, 2008, International Relations and Security Network (ISN), a Zurich-based international affairs and security news portal attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors a month, carried an article evaluating the rise of creationist beliefs in Turkey. Dorian Jones’ article in ISN, which provides information for eminent international research institutes, think-tanks and government agencies, said this about Harun Yahya:
The Science Research Foundation, established in Turkey, is a part of the Harun Yahya group and stands in the front line in this fight to have creationism taught in schools.
The leader of the foundation Adnan Oktar told ISN that: “Evolution is a theory in a state of scientific collapse. Countless branches of science such as genetics, microbiology and palaeontology reveal the invalidity of the claims of Darwinism.” He then proceeded to say: “The reason for the continued support for evolution is the ideological nature of this defeat. Science reveals that life and the universe represent the artistry of God.”
Oktar’s group have been handing out copies of the Atlas of Creation. This 700-page-book, which is introduced to be scientific, is extremely heavy and luxuriously produced. It says that Darwinism is “wrong” and that “God created the world.” The Atlas has also been sent out to schools and universities in France, England and Scotland. One copy was also sent to the ISN.
Harun Yahya’s supporters produce creationist DVDs on a regular basis and hold conferences in Turkish schools. Brightly coloured and vivid exhibitions of various fossil specimens are held in large shopping centres across the country, accompanied by the message that “God created the world.” Well-dressed young people hand out brochures warning that Darwinism “confuses children’s minds.”
Oktar's statement to ISN Security Watch read:
"Our scientific activities revealing the falsity of the theory of evolution are having a huge impact all over the world. Twenty years ago 80% of people in Turkey believed in evolution, whereas nearly 90% now believe in creation.”

They desire to extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His light, even though the unbelievers detest it. It is He Who sent His messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to exalt it over every other religion, even though the idolaters detest it. (Surat at-Tawba, 32-33)
Allah confirms the truth by His words, even though the evildoers hate it. (Surah Yunus, 82)

The Possessor of the Throne, the All-Glorious. (Surat al-Buruj, 15)
Allah's glory manifests itself in every corner of the universe. All people recognize Allah's Highness, even those who deny Him or say: “We disbelieve,” are, in actuality, well aware of His power and glory, for they witness His creation all around them. However, due to their arrogance, they do not believe.
The universe's glorious beauties and flawless systems also befit His glory. Clouds that carry tons of water in the sky, stars that are millions of light years away from us, waterfalls that fall with an enormous noise and intensity, unbounded oceans, mountains with snowy summits extending high into the sky, woods that are inhabited by living beings of countless colors, and noises are only a few of the beauties created by Allah.
An earthquake that razes a region in a few seconds, a volcanic eruption burying a city under a storm of hot lava, a hurricane causing extensive damage to the region it strikes, a devastating flood, a fatal lightning flash, a hurricane raging over cities, a flood ravaging populated areas, or a tornado sweeping away homes also are signs of Allah's power. These are only a very few signs showing Allah's power. As the Qur'an states:
He—exalted be the Majesty of our Lord!—has neither wife nor son. (Surat al-Jinn, 3)
They said: “Are you astonished at Allah's command? May Allah's mercy and His blessings be upon you, People of the House! He is Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.” (Surah Hud, 73)
The Prophet MuhammadThe Prophet Muhammad (saas) was an example to all humanity with his morality, to which he called on mankind to live by. The aim of this site is to introduce various characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (saas) and how he behaved under particular conditions, because a Muslim needs to try to emulate his noble morality in every aspect of life. Allah confirms that in a verse:
You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much. (Surat al-Ahzab: 21)
In an interview broadcast by Hilal TV on its programme “The Power of the Word”, Adnan Oktar considers a number of highly important issues, such as the influence of Darwinism on world wars, the stunning impact of his books in Europe and how he was acquitted of false accusations made against him and those around him. Mr. Oktar describes why Darwinism represents such a grave danger to the people of the world, and summarizes this matter, of great significance to Muslims, in these words:
“Darwinism is a system of the Dajjal(Anti-christ) that has escaped Muslims’ gaze for the last 150 years but that attempts to force them into a corner and constitutes the real nightmare confronting them.”
In addition, Adnan Oktar also explains why he opposes the European Union, the true face of the USA and the false idea people have of Islam.
Darwin’s thesis—that human beings and apes are descended from a common ancestor—has not been supported by any scientific findings, either when he first proposed it, nor in the following period of some 150 years. The fossils obtained have proved that apes have always existed as apes, and that human beings have always existed as human beings. Apes did not transform into humans, and present-day apes and humans have no common ancestor.Investigations into ape skulls, skulls from other vertebrate species, and various races of humans that lived at different times in the past show that they all possessed their different characteristics from the beginning and remained unchanged right through the passage of years. This means that living things never evolved, but were all created by Allah, Almighty God. Through the evidence of fossil specimens depicted in this book, you too will see why the theory of Darwinism has collapsed.
WHAT DARWINISTS NEVER REALIZE
1-In suggesting that Archaeopteryx was an incompletely developed bird, Darwinists never realize that birds were living in the same period, and even earlier.
2-In claiming that life emerged as the result of blind chance, Darwinists never realize that the odds of a single, average-sized protein molecule forming by chance are 1 in 10300.
3-Darwinists never realize that the chances of a functional protein forming by chance are 1 in 10950.
4-In analyzing these probabilities, Darwinists never realize that in mathematics, probabilities smaller than 1 in 1050 are in practical terms "impossible".
5-Darwinists never realize that the cell, which they maintain came into being by chance, and that given the state of 19th century technology was regarded as a balloon filled with water, has a structure as complex as that of the city of New York.
6-Darwinists never realize that the power station known as the "mitochondrion" inside the cell, itself no larger than 1/100 millimeters, is far more complex than an oil refinery or hydroelectric station.
7-Darwinists never realize that a single DNA molecule that exists in every one of the 100 trillion cells that constitute the human body and which they maintain came into being as the result of blind coincidences, contains enough data to fill 1 million encyclopedia pages.
8-In claiming that the eye came into being by chance, Darwinists never realize that the eye is irreducibly complex and that it cannot function unless all its 40 main components are all present and working in harmony together, nor that this by itself totally undermines the theory of evolution.
9-Darwinists never realize that the human eye provides an image that is far superior to and clearer than that of the most advanced cameras.
10-Darwinists never realize that every neuron in the human brain has about 1,000 to 10,000 synapses (connections with other cells), that there are 1 quadrillion synapses in the brain, that this means some 1,000,000,000,000,000 acts of communication, and that it is impossible for all this to have come about by chance.
