GLOBAL IMPACT OF THE WORKS OF HARUN YAHYA

Each of HARUN YAHYA's more than 250 publications on matters of science, faith and politics can change the way a person looks at the world. His scientific books demonstrating the proofs of creation to be seen in the universe, his works about Islamic moral teaching composed with reference to the verses of the Qur'an, and his political books that expose the hidden side of historical events have addressed millions of people of every nation, language and religion. These works have stimulated a wide response throughout the world.

Whether in America, Britain, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, France, Nigeria, Canada or Lebanon, you can find books and magazine and newspaper articles by Harun Yahya in various languages in bookstores in most countries in the world. Documentaries and narrations based on Harun Yahya's works, which are broadcast on many radio and television stations, have also aroused great interest throughout the world.

The works of this author have been translated into French, German, Italian, Russian, Albanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Serbo-Croat, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, Estonian, Arabic, Swahili and Bengali, and further translations into many other languages are progressing quickly. The purpose of this is to distribute all these books throughout the world in order to inform all people of the existence of God, the beauty of the moral teachings of the Qur'an, the existence of the hereafter and the lie of Darwinism.

Harun Yahya, who has written his works in order to spread the message of the Qur'an to the whole world and to encourage people to think about matters of faith, such as the existence of God and His Oneness, aims to make them easily accessible to everyone. With this purpose in mind, Internet sites have been opened that render a great service to thousands of people every day. On these sites, the more than 250 books written by Harun Yahya, complete with their full texts and illustrations, are available free of charge to Internet users, in addition to documentaries and audio narrations. This is a service rarely found on the Internet. Other book promotion sites introduce the works by giving a short summary or by listing the main headings. Except under exceptional circumstances, the whole text is provided at no cost. However, the Harun Yahya Internet site intends that everyone who wants to access all his works should be able to do so easily, and at absolutely no charge.

The purpose of this chapter of the site is to inform people of the effect that Harun Yahya's works, from his books to the documentary films based on them, have had throughout the world. The chapter, which includes the Internet pages of those Islamic organizations, scientific institutions and various universities where you can find Harun Yahya's works, and reviews written by various scholars or the directors of various leading organizations and institutions, together with an account of the reactions from the fairs and conferences that have presented the author's works covers only a limited amount of material. Indeed, the scale of these reactions has been far greater than might have been expected.

In this chapter you will see the reaction that Harun Yahya's works have received around the world and the ever-growing interest in them. You will see a few reflections of this great interest in newspapers, magazines, on Internet sites and in letters from readers.

There are several important reasons for the great influence that these works have had on those who have read them. First, because of their intimate and attractive style, they can be simply and easily understood by people from every walk of life and of every age group. The author has taken the wisdom and the striking narrative style of the Qur'an as a model for himself. The second reason must be the variety of his works, that attract the interest of all sections of society with the importance of their themes. For example, Harun Yahya's series of works is not only of importance to those who want to learn about Islam or deepen their knowledge of the Qur'an, but are also a source of reference for those who want to have true Qur'an-based knowledge about topics such as the true face of evolution, biology, astronomy, physics, world and present-day history and international relations.

The basic point about Harun Yahya's works is that they were written with only the will of God in mind. They have been prepared without any commercial interest or expectation of profit and as a result their sincerity has an immediate effect on the hearts of their readers.

For this reason, reading these works and introducing and recommending them to others is a very important service. Anything that can be done in this direction will be a step towards eliminating the environment of cruelty and chaos in which the world has become immersed and, with God's help, this will eventually happen.

God willing, the works of Harun Yahya will reach an even greater audience in the 21st century, and will be a means whereby people will be able to attain that life of well-being, justice and peace that they have longed for down the years.
