The Truth of Everything
Writer: Tarkan Yavaþ
The books of Harun Yahya are making a great impact throughout the world. With their wide-ranging content, handsome designs and written in a sincere and informed style, his works have attracted a tremendous number of readers from the USA to Indonesia, the Republic of South Africa to Russia, China to Australia, Nigeria to Canada.
These works, dealing with the morality of the Qur’an, the Sunnah of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) and the signs of Creation have led many people to faith for the first time, or to deepen the faith they have. The books about world politics and Freemasonry, on the other hand, have changed the outlook of many, helping them become acquainted with the inner workings of many events.
But Harun Yahya’s books explaining the scientific collapse of Darwinism have made the greatest effect. These particular titles have had a special impact worldwide, exposing the true face of Darwinism to many countries of the world, Turkey being the foremost.
These valuable works’ considerable impact has given rise to differing explanations about how they came to be written. Some people have alleged that they are collective works of a sort, prepared by a group, or committee. Actually, this allegation is a compliment about these books’ extraordinary nature and brilliance. Harun Yahya’s works are unique in terms of their style, illustrations, conclusions, comprehensiveness, honesty, and persuasiveness. To claim that these powerful, irrefutable, unprecedented works are the collective work of a committee or group only lends support to an already astonishing situation.
Stating that these books can only be the product of a collaboration by a group of academicians and professors, funded by some governments simply supports the fact that they result from a particularly outstanding talent. Some such allegations include statements like, “Creationist institutions in the United States must be involved,” “Saudi Arabia and Egypt probably provided funding, ” “Political circles must have lent their assistance,” and “These must be the work of a committee.” But none of them are true. In fact, this body of work is the product of one single extraordinary mind.
On the other hand, the invalidity of such allegations soon become obvious, after only some very simple reasoning:
- Throughout the world, there are thousands of professors, scientists, educators and academicians, as well as many biologists, zoologists, biogeneticists, biomathematicians, paleontologists and anthropologists in nearly every country. Add to them the countless academicians who specialize in fields such as history, international relations and the archeology of prehistory. If, as is claimed, works like Harun Yahya’s can be produced by a team of professors and academicians, then such a group should come together and try to write one. If they succeed, then all around the world we should see the publication of many books similar to Harun Yahya’s in their informative illustrations, logical arguments and persuasive style. Yes, thousands of academies and educational institutions could organize and finance such an endeavor. But until now, none of them could write books similar to Harun Yahya’s, whose work is unique in its effectiveness and power of inspiration.
- One very important characteristic of any book written by a team is that it will contain many conflicting and contradictory views and different styles of writing. In such “team efforts,” there is no logical unity or consensus of opinion. Different techniques of expression and different styles are employed, and the photographs and graphic illustrations will not be in harmony. To a large degree, much of the evidence and the interpretations will contradict one another. Any reader will quickly notice the varying styles and understand that this book has been written by more than one author before they have finished two or three chapters. However, in the more than 250 books that Harun Yahya has completed, there is a consistent wholeness of style and logic.
- The same profound sincerity, power of inspiration, same techniques and means of expression and rhetoric can be found throughout all his works. Even the artistic and aesthetic quality of the illustrations in these books embodies a visual wholeness. If the books of Harun Yahya were actually written by a team, then they should display inner logical contradictions and considerable dislocations in the style and technique. But as his many readers will attest, there are no such contradictions in any of his books. Therefore anyone who reads them can easily understand that Harun Yahya’s books are the products of one single mind.
- Some other circles claim, instead, that these books are prepared by some young members of SRF (the Science Research Foundation) who are close to Harun Yahya. Indeed, many who associate with Harun Yahya are young people with college degrees. But neither their accumulated knowledge nor their breadth of education is sufficient to prepare such effective, comprehensive volumes. Moreover, assuming they actually did have the ability, intelligence and background to prepare such books, surely they would have taken that opportunity: At least a few of them would have already published very similar books. But till now, nothing of the sort has ever happened. If everyone with a college degree could write a comparable book, then tens of thousands of graduates from hundreds of colleges in Turkey and elsewhere, individually or in small groups, should have been able to publish books like Harun Yahya’s. However, no such work has ever appeared in print.
- Some claim that these books are prepared or underwritten by creationist organizations and institutions in such countries as the USA, and Saudi Arabia. But if any country or constitution were able to produce such works, they would publish them openly under their own imprints and would hardly need to conceal their identity. Eventually, it would present no inconvenience for any individual, institution or government to admit their contribution and support toward these books. Besides, everyone would be eager to claim credit for such powerfully influential works.
- The aforementioned countries and institutions have great financial resources and technical infrastructure. There are teams of scholars in Saudi Arabia, thousands of professors working in American universities, and hundreds of scientists throughout Egypt. Yet, not one book similar to those of Harun Yahya has ever been produced by any institution—not in Saudi Arabia, nor in Egypt, nor in America, or in any other country. Obviously, even if 100 professors were to assemble or dozens of countries were to join forces, they could not produce even one single similar book. This is yet another proof of the extraordinary and wonderful nature of the author’s work.
- One question frequently raised is the financial power necessary for publication of these books, which are printed and distributed in the millions. These naturally yield an income, which in turn is used for reprinting existing titles and publishing new ones. That the author’s books are sent out as gifts to certain addresses have astonished some people, although this is nothing to be surprised about. Similar distribution methods are employed by many publishing houses, which often ship out free books to serve as tools for advertising and publicity. Very often, the recipients then place orders for other books, and usually, even purchase these works in entire sets. Therefore, the original gift is returned to the giver, many times over. One most striking example occurred when books were sent as gifts to selected addresses in France. As a result of this campaign, demand for Harun Yahya’s books in French greatly increased, and their sales in France exploded.
One reason why Harun Yahya’s books are so extraordinarily impressive is that the author intends, in order to earn God’s good pleasure, to be a means whereby his readers may be correctly guided; and every book he writes is sincerely striving to this end.
By His will, God is rewarding this sincere endeavor, and Harun Yahya’s body of work intellectually defeats all materialist and atheistic philosophies.
