this article analyzes those ignorant societies that have
no knowledge of Islamic morality.
"Harun
Yahya is a well known writer from Istanbul
who has written numerous books and articles

Allah's creations, the evolution theory,
and politics. His articles have been published,

The Middle Path was "From Caterpillar to Butterfly," which
describes the marvelous stages in the metamorphosis from
caterpillar to the perfect shape of a butterfly. The
article also discusses the wondrous proofs of creation
in the lace-like wings of the butterfly and the artistry
of their color, shape and symmetry.
In
"The Expansion of the Universe," published
in the same issue, scientific proof is given of a beginning
to the universe and its continual expansion. In Harun
Yahya's book The Creation of the Universe the topics
discussed in that article are examined in greater detail,
showing that life on earth emerged as a result of God's
flawless creation and that it is under His control.
United Kingdom - Impact International

Impact International is an independent magazine published
in the UK and distributed to more than 100,000 readers
in 18 countries including America, Canada, Germany, Kuwait,
Pakistan, India, Mauritius and Sri Lanka. In its May
2001 issue, it published an article by Harun Yahya entitled "The
Kosova-Serbia-Macedonia Triangle," which analyzes
the latest developments in the Balkans.
In Harun Yahya's "Common Material, Design and Designer," which
appeared in the August 2000 issue of the magazine, the
latest developments in the Genome Project were discussed.
The following is an extract from the article:
"The recent completion of the human gene map within
the scope of the Human Genome Project is an important
scientific development. However, some results of this
project are being distorted in some evolutionist publications.
It is claimed that the genes of chimpanzees are 98% similar
to human genes, and this is presented as an evidence
for the claim that apes are close to humans, and therefore,
logical ancestors of humans as claimed by Darwin's theory
of evolution. The argument is misleading. The claim of
98% similarity is deceptive. To claim that the genetic
make-ups of man and chimpanzee bear 98% similarity to
each other the genome of the chimpanzee also has to be
mapped just as that of man and the two have to be compared.
However no such comparison results are available, because,
so far, only the gene of the human has been mapped. No
such research for the chimpanzee has been done yet. .Darwinists
are distorting the results of the Human Genome Project.
Life did not originate as a result of unconscious coincidences
as evolution claims, but as the result of the creation
of Allah, the Almighty, the Owner of infinite knowledge
and wisdom."

Sunnah
A
number of Harun Yahya's articles have appeared in the
American monthly magazine Getting Back to Qu'ran and
the Sunnah.
"The World and the Hereafter," published
in the fourth edition, says that God created this world
as a temporary place where believers are tested. The
article "Solution: Morals of the Qur'an",
which appeared in the eighth edition of the magazine,
relates that in the Qur'an, there is no discrimination
between human beings based on sex or material wealth.
A person's status is determined by his piety and closeness

Qur'an" discussed worshipping God in the best
way and the behavior appropriate to a believer.

Almost every issue of this internationally circulated
magazine contains articles by Harun Yahya:
The November-December, 1999, issue contains
an article entitled
"Philosophies that Made the Mistake of Denying Allah," which
discusses those scientists who deny the existence of
God even though they have closely observed the clear
evidence for it; The May-June, 2000,
issue contained an article entitled "A New World," in
which some prejudices with regard to religion are dealt
with. It says that religion is not only the concern of
the elderly, but of the whole of society and that when
man comes to know God, Who created him, he will be saved
from the false idea that religion is to be avoided; The
July-August, 2000, issue carries an article called "Pondering
on the Qur'an;" The September-October, 2000, issue
published an article entitled "Darwinists are distorting
the results of the Human Genome Project: THE APE-MAN
SIMILARITY IS A TALE!". This article shows clearly
that human beings did not evolve from apes but were created
by God. The article " A Living Planet," in
the January-February, 2001, issue, demonstrated that
God created the world in a perfect balance so that human
beings could live in it most comfortably; The March-April
issue ran an article entitled "Why Does Darwin's
Theory of Evolution Contradict With Religion?" and

Pakistan - Renaissance
Harun Yahya's "Pondering on the Qur'an" appeared
in the September, 2000, issue of this English-language
magazine published in Pakistan. Below is an extract from
that article:
"Therefore, what is needed in the first place is
to correct the wrong point of view about the Qur'an and
make people understand that the Qur'an is not a book
which is addressed only to the Prophet (sws) but to all
people who consider themselves Muslims. Any person who
utters this statement:
"I'm a Muslim, alhamdulillah" must read the
Qur'an and try to understand the meaning of the verses.
In the Qur'an, the importance of learning verses and
reciting them are especially emphasized.
...Some people believe that the Qur'an addresses only
Muslims of the 7th century and some others think that
only a small part of the verses addresses people other
than the Muslims of the 7th century. A person having
such an approach gets satisfied with reading the Qur'an
and thinks he fulfils his religious duties by doing so.
However, this is not only a matter of learning what is
inside of the Qur'an, but also putting them into practice,
fulfilling the duties ordered in the Qur'an, adapting
moral standards explained in the Qur'an;briefly, bringing
the Qur'an into one's own everyday life."
Pakistan - Albalagh
The
August, 1999, issue of the monthly magazine Albalagh,
published in Pakistan, carried Harun Yahya's article "Hell." Here
is a paragraph from that article:
"As many beauties and blessings there are in Paradise,
that much ugliness and torment Hell is full with. Those
who have denied Allah as their Creator are punished with
an endless penalty in Hell. ...The common characteristic
of the unbelievers who deserve Hell is their rejection
when they have been invited to religion."
The March, 2000, issue published Harun Yahya's "The
Expansion of the Universe," and in the April, 2000,
issue an article entitled "About the Rain" appeared.
This
article uses scientific discoveries and relevant verses
from the Qur'an to show that every year the same amount
of rain falls on the earth and that the stages in the
formation of rain correspond to the Qur'an. "Past
Civilizations," serialized in the May and June,
2000, issues gives an account of some of the destructive
events suffered by those who denied God and ascribed
partners to Him.
An article by Harun Yahya entitled "Righteous
Deeds" appeared in the August, 2000, issue. With
reference to the Qur'an, the article maintains that believers
must do righteous deeds.
 
Mr. Adnan Oktar writing
under the pen name of Harun Yahya is a well
known writer from Istanbul.
He has written a number of books conveying
the message of the Qur'an in the light of
contemporary knowledge. His books "Evolution
Deceit,"
"Perished Nations" and "Allah
Is Known Through Reason" are irrefutable
documents against materialistic theories.
His approach is scientific, simple and straight
forward. (Albalagh, April 2000) |
In the September, 2000, issue, the article "Pondering" led
readers to ponder on the proofs of God's existence in
the universe. An article describing human creation, "The
Mechanisms in our Body," appeared in the February,
2001, issue.

"The Fallacy of Evolution." Here is the introductory
passage to the article written by the editor of the magazine:
"Allah
Ta'ala created the first human being, Hazrath Adam (A.S.),
from sand. This was the beginning of human species. The
Qur'an has declared this in several places. However,
western scientists are still at pains to try and prove
that their forefather was an ape. In their quest to fool
others into believing the fallacy of evolution, they
resort to the most deceptive means."
Greece - Hur Hakka Davet
Hur Hakka Davet is a magazine published in Turkish in
the Western Thrace area of Greece. In its February, 2001,

"The Atmosphere-The Protected Roof of the Earth." The
