April/ May 2002

Al-Jumuah Magazine's focus is to provide Islamic knowledge based on the Qur'an and Sunnah for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Harun Yahya's articles, which are regularly published in this magazine, one of the most popular Islamic magazines in the USA, give an insight into science and faith related issues with quotes from the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet. One article published in this magazine titled "Communicating Wonders of Allah's Creation" reads:

It is exceedingly important that true believers should be on their guard against trends of thought that oppose Allah and religion. The duty of a Muslim in the face of Darwinism is to destroy that great lie and to proclaim the truth of creation.

When we look at the life of Allah's Messenger, in whom there is "an excellent model for believers" (Surat al-Ahzab: 21), we see that he often thought about the glory of Allah's creation and shared his contemplations with the believers around him. We learn from ahadiths of Allah's Messenger (saas) that he "stood up amongst the believers for a long period and informed them about the beginning of creation" (Sahih Bukhari, Book 54, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 414)

So, a great and important responsibility falls to people of good conscience to wage a scientific fight and make a great effort to do away with the Darwinist, materialist thought that opposes the Qur'an.

Harun Yahya's scientific articles in this magazine contribute to this aim by opening the reader's mind and showing him the glorious artistry in God's creation. One article says:

Water is "just right" for life to a degree that cannot be compared with any other liquid. The larger part of this planet, a world whose other attributes (temperature, light, electromagnetic spectrum, atmosphere, surface, etc.) are all suitable for life, has been filled with just the right amount of water necessary for life. It should be obvious that this cannot all be accidental and that there must instead be intentional design.

"The author demonstrates that the advocates of the materialism have always supported the idea of evolution even if this theory has been refuted by scientific facts. Contrary the views of evolutionists, the book proves with evidence that life has been made possible thanks to the Creator. The signs of an extraordinary wisdom are visible in all living beings, which evidently reveal the existence of a Creator in whose hands is the government of the entire universe."

In most of the countries where Muslims are the minority and Arabic is not the spoken language, only a small percentage of people know the content of the Qur'an and ponder on the Qur'an as required.
