RAMADAN 2010 - The 28th Day
Harun Yahya
And when He overcame you with sleep, making you feel secure, and sent you down water from heaven to purify you and remove the taint of satan from you, and to fortify your hearts and make your feet firm. (Surat al-Anfal, 11)
Narrated ‘Aishah: Allah’s Messenger said, “Allah is Kind and He loves kindness, and confers upon kindness which He does not confer upon severity, and does not confer upon any thing besides it (kindness).” (Muslim)
Fear of Allah and Hell is an important sign of a believer
Allah has commanded human beings to fear Him in many verses of the Qur’an. Some of the verses are as follows:
You who have faith! Have fear of Allah and let each self look to what it has sent forward for tomorrow. Have fear of Allah. Allah is aware of what you do. (Surat Al-Hashr, 18)
… So have fear of Allah, people of intelligence – those who have faith –Allah has sent down a reminder to you. (Surat At-Talaq, 10)
In another verse, Allah advises human beings to fear Him as much as they have the strength to, and to increase their fear of Allah as best as they can:
So have fear of Allah, as much as you are able to, and listen and obey and spend for your own benefit... (Surat At-Taghabun, 16)
People who do not know or live the morality of the Qur’an in its true sense are not able to comprehend the importance and entailment of fear of Allah well enough. This is because they possess inadequate knowledge of the Qur’an and don’t know the real meaning of fear of Allah.
Fear of Allah is not like some type of fear, which are fundamental in societies where the morality of the Qur’an is not experienced. Communities that maintain a life far off the morality of religion have become slaves of many types of fear in line with their pessimistic state of mind. People who fall into the trap of fear of future, growing older, being alone, death, catching a sudden disease, being mocked, being unsuccessful, earthquake, catching a deadly disease and many other types of fear lead very unhappy lives and live in very stressful states with the anxiety that they may get into trouble any moment.
These people fall into the error of supposing that fear of Allah is just as the fears they live in their dark worlds. However, fear of Allah does not have any similarity with the types of fear listed above. Fear of Allah is a very noble feeling that composes enthusiasm and excitement for someone who knows the mighty morality of Allah, who knows Allah and who deeply loves Him. Contrary to the fears listed above, it is a fear that directs people to great peace and happiness, increases the intelligence and courage of the person, ensures a never-ending enthusiasm and an overwhelming faith and that gives the person a deep understanding, wisdom and solemnity. A person who fears Allah does not possess worldly fears like the fear of future, death, disease or being alone. Because he knows that, no matter what happens, Allah Who is his best friend creates the most blessed destiny for him. He lives the comfort of Allah’s being his minister and for his every issue, he turns only to Him.
Fear of Allah gives the person a good morality
A person who fears Allah is the most trustworthy individual in society. Because he fears Allah, he would not lie, he would not display any behavior with that Allah would not be pleased, he would oversee the interests of others and not his own, he would think of other’s comfort rather than his own and he would always try to do kindness and favor to the people around him.
A person who fears Allah would have all attitudes belonging to good morality such as sincerity, honesty, cordialness, fidelity, commitment and dedication in the highest quality. It is not possible for someone to possess these characteristics continuously and in real terms. Since he does not fear Allah, give account to our Lord or to repay his doings in Hell, he thinks that there is no need to engage in good behavior by sacrificing his own interests in the short life of this world. A Muslim who fears Allah, on the other hand, exhibits the opposite attitude. He appeals to his conscience, strong due to fear of Allah, for every subject and protects the boundaries of good morality and not of his own interests.
A Muslim fears the torment in Hell
Having fear of Hell and increasing fear of Allah by thinking about the torment in Hell is one of the important characteristics of a Muslim. Allah reveals in His verses that Muslims fear the torment in Hell. Some of these verses are as follows:
And I am commanded to be the first of the Muslims.’ Say: ‘I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a terrible Day.’ (Surat Az-Zumar, 12-13)
Say: ‘Am I to take anyone other than Allah as my protector, the Bringer into Being of the heavens and the earth, He Who feeds and is not fed?’ Say: ‘I am commanded to be the first of the Muslims,’ and, ‘Do not be among those ascribing partners to Allah.’ Say: ‘I fear, were I to disobey my Lord, the punishment of a dreadful Day.’ (Surat Al-An‘am, 14-15)
To think about the existence of Hell is an important way of contemplation for a Muslim that will deepen his faith, strengthen his fear of Allah and embellish his morality. A Muslim fears the Hell, which Allah reveals in the Qur’an in detail, always keeps in mind the characteristics of Hell and acts as if Hell is one step ahead.
The Miracle Design in the Cell
There are about 100 trillion cells in the human body. Some of these cells are so tiny that even 1 million of them together hardly cover a space as large as the pointed end of a pin. Despite this, however, the cell is by far the most complex structure mankind has ever encountered, as is also agreed by the scientific community. Containing many secrets hitherto undiscovered, the cell of a living thing also constitutes the greatest impasse for the theory of evolution. That is because the cell is one of the most striking pieces of evidence that human beings and all other living beings are not the products of coincidences, but are created by a Creator.
In order for the cell to survive, all the basic components of the cell, each performing many vital functions, have to be intact. If the cell came into existence by evolution, then millions of its components had to simultaneously exist in the same place and they had to come together in a particular order and plan. Since this is utterly implausible, such a structure has no explanation other than "creation."
The English mathematician and astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle made a comparison in one of his interviews published in Nature magazine dated November 12, 1981. Although an evolutionist himself, Hoyle said that the odds that higher life forms might have emerged in this way was comparable to the odds of a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard assembling a Boeing 747 from the materials in it. This means that it is not possible for the cell to come into being by coincidence and therefore, it must definitely have been "created".
To gain some understanding of the awe-inspiring structure of the cell, it will be enough to examine just the structure and functions of the membrane enveloping these cellular organelles.
The cell membrane is an ambient cover for the cell, yet its duty is not limited to it. This membrane both regulates communications and relations with neighboring cells and deftly coordinates and supervises the entries and exits to the cell.
The cell membrane is so thin, at just one hundred thousandth of a millimeter, that one can detect it only under an electron microscope. The membrane resembles a double-sided endless wall. On this wall, there are doors making entry to and exit from the cell possible and receptors allowing the membrane to recognize the extracellular environment. These doors and receptors are made of protein molecules. They are located on the cell wall and meticulously check all the entries and exits to the cell.
What are the accomplishments of this thin structure made up of unconscious molecules such as fat and protein? That is, which features of the membrane lead us to call it "conscious" and "wise"?
The primary duty of the cell membrane is to enclose the cellular organelles so as to keep them intact. However, it has a far more complex function than this. It supplies the substances vital for the continuity of the cell and its functions from the extracellular environment. Outside the cell, there are countless chemical substances. The cell membrane recognizes the substances essential for the cell and only lets them in. It acts very economically and never allows in more than what the cell needs. Meanwhile, it detects harmful wastes in the cell right away and, without losing any time, discharges them from the cell.
Another function of the cell membrane is to instantly transmit the messages, which are received from the brain or any other part of the body via hormones, to the center of the cell. To perform these functions, it has to know all the activities and developments taking place in the cell, keep a list of required or excess substances, keep stocks under control and act under the guidance of a superior memory and decision-making skills.
The cell membrane is so selective that without its authorization, not even a single substance in the extracellullar environment can pass through the cell doors, even by chance. There is not even a single unnecessary, purposeless molecule in the cell. Exits from the cell are also strictly checked. The duty of the cell membrane is vital and it does not permit even minor errors. The entry of a wrong or harmful chemical substance into the cell, the supply or discharge of a substance in excess amounts or failure to discharge waste products on time, or as required, mean the death of the cell.
If the first living cell had come into existence by coincidence as evolutionists claim, and if just one of these properties of the membrane had not been fully formed, then the cell would certainly have disappeared in a very short time.
Which "coincidence", then, formed such a "wise" mass of fat?...
Let's ask another question, which by itself refutes the theory of evolution straight away; does the "wisdom" displayed in the aforementioned functions belong to the cell membrane?
Keep in mind that these functions are not carried out by a human being or a machine such as a computer or robot under man's control, but are merely in a cover enclosing the cell, which is made up of fat mixed here and there with various proteins. We also need to consider that the cell membrane, which can handle so many complex tasks flawlessly, has no brain or center of thinking.
It is obvious that such wise patterns of behavior and a conscious decision-making mechanism could not have been caused by the cell membrane itself, which is a layer made up of fat and protein molecules. This also holds true for all other cellular organelles. These organelles do not even have a nervous system, let alone a brain to think and make decisions with. Despite this, however, they accomplish incredibly complex tasks, make precise calculations and take vital decisions. That is because each one of them obeys the orders of God, Who created them flawlessly and sustains them. In the Qur'an, the fact that everything acts in compliance with the command of God is stated:
It is God Who has created seven heavens, and earth as many. His commandment descends through them, so that you may learn that God has power over all things and that God encompasses all things with His knowledge.(Qur'an, 65:12)
All eyes are blind; It is the eye in the brain that sees, which is the eye of the soul
AL-FALIQ
The Opener, The Splitter
Allah splits the seed and kernel. He brings forth the living from the dead, and produces the dead out of the living. That is Allah, so how are you deluded? He splits the sky at dawn , and appoints the night as a time of stillness and the Sun and Moon as a means of reckoning. That is what the Almighty, the All-Knowing has ordained. (Surat al-An‘am, 6:95-96)
Our planet contains many kinds of plants, each of which has seeds unique to itself. If you keep dry seeds in a room, they may remain unchanged for years. Yet once they are buried in the ground or another suitable place, they start to sprout and, one day, grow into a rose bush or a giant plane tree.
While it is amazing to see such variety coming from a “dry seed,” even more amazing is the formation of a living being. For a tree to exist, its seed has to collect the necessary materials from the soil and begin to grow. But a seed cannot determine the amount of minerals and water it needs, nor can it decide to grow into a green plant or a fruit tree.
If we claim that a seed can make such decisions, then we have to accept that the seed is “talented.” But we cannot seriously assert that any seed has such faculties. As the verses above inform us, only Allah “splits the seed and kernel.” By His will, countless trees and plants come into existence. Indeed, another verse relates that Allah creates everything:
He sends down water from the sky, from which We bring forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green shoots, and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in that for people who believe. (Surat al-An‘am, 6:99)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will possess innate sciences
Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: WHEN IMAM (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)) WILLS TO KNOW SOMETHING ALLAH INFORMS HIM ABOUT THAT MATTER.
(Usul al-Kafi v.1, p. 258)
As our Prophet (saas) has notified in his hadith, when Hazrat Mahdi (as) wants to have information about any subject Allah informs him about these through innate sciences.
Darwinists Regard Foreign Journals As Sacred
Darwinists have been exhibiting a state of great awe. They believe that foreign journals are miraculous. They literally regard these journals as sacred, and regard everything published in them as equally sacred. Since they hold such a belief they imagine that everything published in them will have a stunning impact. The way they are so impressed with all things foreign and their inferiority complex that stems from their inability to defend the theory of evolution scientifically forces them to issue such statements.
This admiration for all things foreign has reached such a dimension that proponents of evolution in Turkey in particular refuse to accept scientific evidence as such unless it is published in these journals they so admire. They oppose all kinds of scientific fact by saying, “If a paper has been published in a foreign journal it is true, and if not, it is wrong.” They still reject such papers if they are collected together in book form. In their eyes, in order for an article to be accurate and scientific it has to be published in a journal of some 50 pages measuring 27x20 cm, on wood-containing paper and lavishly illustrated with pictures of Darwin on the cover. But if the papers are collected together in book form, they will still regard them as unacceptable, no matter what scientific evidence they contain..jpg)
The fact is, however, THAT A GENUINELY SCIENTIFIC WORK IS ONE THAT PROVIDES SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. The work in question may be a CD, or a book or a magazine, so long as it contains scientific evidence. There is no need for it to be a journal published in English on wood-containing paper. Rejecting Turkish studies, solely on the grounds that they are written in Turkish and published in Turkey and persistently and openly expressing one’s blind admiration for Europe in that regard is an utterly humiliating thing for Turkish Darwinist scientists.
This admiration that Turkish Darwinists feel for Nature and other such journals originating from Europe probably stems from the fact that these and similar journals are under the protection of the Darwinist dictatorship. Darwinists are very well aware that not a single anti-Darwinist word is allowed to appear in any of these publications. Paleontologists are currently in possession of 250 million fossils that prove the fact of Creation. Yet although these are all scientific evidence, not a single one has ever appeared in any of the publications in question. They exclude this scientific evidence, because if it were to be published it would prove the fact of Creation, and that would run contrary to the interests of the Darwinist dictatorship.
Another point that needs to be made clear here is this: the journal Nature that Darwinists praise to the very heavens was first brought out by Thomas Henry Huxley, who called himself “Darwin’s bulldog,” a high-ranking mason and a member of the Royal Society, itself made up of masons, and charged with the task of disseminating Darwin’s theory of evolution. The greatest aim of this magazine, established entirely under the control of freemasons, is to engage in propaganda for the nonsense of Darwinism and to spread this heretical theory across the world. For that reason, it is an easy way out for Darwinists to say they only regard what is written in a Darwinist journal under masonic control as “scientific.”
Darwinists must now abandon their deception. They cannot stand against 250 million fossils, nor justify their position in the face of the scientific realities. That is because Darwinism is in a state of rout and defeat right across the world. And everyone knows it. Darwinists must at last abandon their awe of foreign journals and act in the light of the scientific evidence.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MOVEMENT IN SLEEP
You would have supposed them to be awake, whereas in fact they were asleep. We moved them to the right and to the left, and, at the entrance, their dog stretched out its paws. If you had looked down and seen them, you would have turned from them and run, and have been filled with terror at the sight of them. (Qur'an, 18:18)
The above verse refers to the Companions of the Cave, who remained asleep for hundreds of years. In addition, Allah also reveals that He moved their bodies to the left and right. The wisdom of this was only discovered in recent times.
People who remain lying down in the same position for long period of time encounter serious health problems, such as circulation difficulties, sores, and blood clotting in that part of the body in contact with the surface on which they lie.1
The resulting sores are known as "bed sores" or "pressure sores." Due to the constant pressure on one part of the body when one is not moving for a long period of time, the blood vessels become constricted and can close altogether. As a result, the oxygen and other nutrients carried by the blood fail to reach the skin, and the skin begins to die. This leads to the appearance of sores on the body. Unless these sores are treated, fat and muscles can also die.2
These sores, which form under the skin or tissue, can assume serious dimensions unless treated. If they become infected, they can even lead to death. The healthiest thing to do, therefore, is to change the position of the body every 15 minutes in order to reduce this pressure. Patients who cannot move themselves therefore receive special care and are moved every 2 hours by other people.3 The fact that these medical facts, only discovered in the last century, are referred to in the Qur'an is yet another of its miracles.

FLYING FISH
| Age: 95 million years Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian Location: Hadjoula, Lebanon |
Flying fish leap out of the water, propelled by rapid movements of their tail fin and glide a certain distance before gently dropping back into the water. During this airborne movement, the fish can reach a speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) an hour. There is no difference between flying fish living today and those that lived about 100 million years ago. The species has not undergone the slightest change in all that time, which destroys all the claims of the evolutionists about the origins and history of living creatures.
Scientific discoveries have shown that living things have not developed in evolutionary stages but were created by Almighty God.
Compassionate hand of Turk Surrounding the world
| What He Said Kordon TV, July 27- 2008 Adnan Oktar: Turkey must bring its full weight to bear and directly assume an older brother position, and even emerge as the leader of the entire Middle East and all Islamic countries. Because Turkey is a country that is home to highly rational and sincere people. It is a country with people of good conscience and with a perfect army. It has a very good conscience, is very reflective and very well trained. And they are loved in all countries, wherever they go. For example, they go to Iraq and are loved there. They go to Bosnia and are loved, and they go to Somalia and are loved and respected everywhere. They are loved and respected in Afghanistan. This is a fact. It means that the whole of the Middle East, the whole of the Islamic World, loves the Turkish army and the Turkish nation. That means they want them to act as the older brother. In other words, if Turkey is to come forward, if a leader, a spiritual leader is needed to come forward, then Turkey must fulfill this role of older brother, in Islamic countries and in the Turkish states. What Happened Türkiye Newspaper, March 13- 2009  Turkeythat offers its warm hand to many countries from Palestine to Afghanistan, from Iraq to Pakistan, wins World’s appreciation with the humanitarian aid it carries out. Turkey does not remain insensitive to the humanitarian tragedies occurring as a result of disasters and wars in the World. Winning world’s general appreciation with the soldiers it sent to the peacekeeping force and humanitarian aid of the Turkish Red Crescent Turkey also carries out humanitarian aid in health fields in many countries in the world from Palestine to Pakistan, from Iraq to Afghanistan. |
