THE WORKS OF HARUN YAHYA

T he author, who writes under the pen-name HARUN YAHYA, wasborn in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and sec-

ondary education in Ankara, he then studied arts at Istanbul’s MimarSinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s,the author has published many books on political, faith-related and sci-entific issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as an author who has writtenvery important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, the in-validity of their claims and the dark liaisons between Darwinism andbloody ideologies such as fascism and communism.

His pen-name is made up of the names "Harun" (Aaron) and"Yahya" (John), in memory of the two esteemed prophets who foughtagainst lack of faith. The Prophet’s seal on the cover of the author’sbooks has a symbolic meaning linked to the their contents. This sealrepresents the Qur’an, the last Book and the last word of God, and ourProphet, the last of all the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur’anand Sunnah, the author makes it his main goal to disprove each one ofthe fundamental tenets of godless ideologies and to have the "lastword", so as to completely silence the objections raised against reli-gion. The seal of the Prophet, who attained ultimate wisdom and moralperfection, is used as a sign of his intention of saying this last word.

All these works by the author centre around one goal: to conveythe message of the Qur’an to people, thus encouraging them to thinkabout basic faith-related issues, such as the existence of God, His unityand the hereafter, and to display the decrepit foundations and per-verted works of godless systems.

Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, fromIndia to America, England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, and Spain toBrazil. Some of his books are available in English, French, German,Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay, Uygur Turkish, and Indonesian, andthey have been enjoyed by readers all over the world.

Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have beeninstrumental in many people putting their faith in God and in many oth-ers gaining a deeper insight into their faith. The wisdom, and the sin-cere and easy-to-understand style employed give these books a distincttouch which directly strikes any one who reads or examines them.Immune to objections, these works are characterised by their features

About The Author

of rapid effectiveness, definite results and irrefutability. It is unlikelythat those who read these books and give a serious thought to themcan any longer sincerely advocate the materialistic philosophy, athe-ism and any other perverted ideology or philosophy. Even if they con-tinue to advocate, this will be only a sentimental insistence since thesebooks have refuted these ideologies from their very basis. All contem-porary movements of denial are ideologically defeated today, thanks tothe collection of books written by Harun Yahya.

There is no doubt that these features result from the wisdom andlucidity of the Qur’an. The author certainly does not feel proud of him-self; he merely intends to serve as a means in one’s search for God’sright path. Furthermore, no material gain is sought in the publication ofthese works.

Considering these facts, those who encourage people to readthese books, which open the "eyes" of the heart and guide them in be-coming more devoted servants of God, render an invaluable service.

Meanwhile, it would just be a waste of time and energy to propa-gate other books which create confusion in peoples’ minds, lead maninto ideological chaos, and which, clearly have no strong and preciseeffects in removing the doubts in peoples’ hearts, as also verified fromprevious experience. It is apparent that it is impossible for books de-vised to emphasize the author’s literary power rather than the noblegoal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect.Those who doubt this can readily see that the sole aim of HarunYahya’s books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate the moralvalues of the Qur’an. The success, impact and sincerity this service hasattained are manifest in the reader’s conviction.

One point needs to be kept in mind: The main reason for the con-tinuing cruelty and conflict, and all the ordeals the majority of peopleundergo is the ideological prevalence of disbelief. These things canonly come to an end with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by en-suring that everybody knows about the wonders of creation andQur’anic morality, so that people can live by it. Considering the state ofthe world today, which forces people into the downward spiral of vio-lence, corruption and conflict, it is clear that this service has to be pro-vided more speedily and effectively. Otherwise, it may be too late.

It is no exaggeration to say that the collection of books by HarunYahya have assumed this leading role. By the Will of God, these bookswill be the means through which people in the 21st century will attainthe peace and bliss, justice and happiness promised in the Qur’an.

Each of HARUN YAHYA’s more than 170 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 refer-

ence 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

I ntroduction

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 fur-

ther 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 mes-

sage 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 thou-

sands of people every day. On these sites, the more than 170 books writ-

ten 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 book 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 book, 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.

"BOOKS BY HARUN YAHYA ARE BASICALLY A MEANS OF BRINGINGTHE MESSAGE OF QURAN THROUGH SCIENTIFIC METHODS"

Pakistan, Syed Irfan Ahmed

T he way today’s society is declining is felt by every compassion-

ate and sensible person. Due to this moral decline the social

peace is ruined and it brings a direct impact on the social stability. Every

wise person thinks and tries to improve this situation.

The books by Harun Yahya which I have read (For Men of

Understanding, Perished Nations,The Truth of the Life of This World,

Evolution Deceit) reveal that he is a person who has the compassion for

this nation. Books by Harun Yahya are basically a means of bringing the

message of Quran through scientific methods.

The word Islam is derived from "Salama" which means peace and

through Quran the education of peace is being given to the whole human-

ity. The matter of Harun Yahya’s books revolve around these basic teach-

ings. In my opinion the books of Harun Yahya are a means of improving the

character and morality in the society and a

source of bringing peace.

In any society it is the duty of every re-

sponsible citizen to improve the character

and morality of the people. The books by

Harun Yahya are a big step in connection

with the service of the nation and country.

As a journalist these are some of my com-

ments on the books by Harun Yahya...

(Qur'an, 16:14)

A s a professor of biological sciences, and a scholar who was

trained all my life at the American University in Beirut, and then

from the University of Illinois, USA, I was fascinated and very much impressed

with the writings of Professor Harun Yahya. The number of books and videos

that he has written and translated is beyond imagination.

I wish to congratulate Turkey and the people of Turkey for having a pro-

fessor and a scholar like Dr. Harun Yahya. Moreover, I wish to congratulate the

government of Turkey for having a professor of this nature.

If Turkey wishes to be recognized internationally, his name should be

submitted for the King of Faisal Award, and to the committee of Nobel Prize

winners. He deserves to be appreciated for his contributions in the field of bi-

ological sciences. In so doing, Turkey will be among the leading countries in

having some of its scholars being in the front lines internationally.

I, as an American citizen, who have al-

ready published 52 books and booklets, am

so much impressed with his writings. I also

showed some of his writings to many univer-

sity professors and students in USA. They

were very much impressed, and they want

the rest of his writings to be distributed

worldwide. God bless Turkey and all.

Ameen.

"HARUN YAHYA TAKES US ON A REMARKABLE TRIP THROUGH THESIGNS IN THE HEAVENS AND ON THE EARTH"

India, Saniyasnain Khan

O f the books by Harun Yahya which I have read "For Men of

Understanding", "Allah is Known Through Reason" and "The

Truth of the Life of this World" stand out as powerful treaties on the

proofs of God in the Universe. Harun Yahya’s scholarship proves fasci-

nating and his style of writing infinitely readable. His books have a

great impact because of the clarity and logic with which they make

their appeal.

Quoting the verses of Quran and sources as diverse as Bertrand

Russell and Lenin, Harun Yahya takes us on a remarkable trip through the

signs in the heavens and on the earth. The author’s approach to Quranic

wisdom is scientific. One of the remarkable aspects of his writings is his

copious illustration of Quranic teachings with examples which are scien-

tifically verifiable facts of nature.

It is one of the ironies of life that man may

observe nature right from his birth, but he sel-

dom experiences a sense of awe in contemplat-

ing it. Though even the tiniest example in

nature is enough to testify to the greatness of

God, people often remain unaware of this.

Harun Yahya’s books, such as "The Miracle of

Ant", "The Miracle of the Spider", etc. perform a

great service both to the unenlightened and to

the cause of religion by bringing out this reality

in an excellent, easily comprehensible and con-

vincing manner.

The author deftly presents facts upon

fact, until we reach the conclusion that one of

the greatest and most essential of human ob-

jectives is to recognize and interpret the nu-

merous signs of Allah scattered not only throughout the entire universe, but also

within our own selves.

He writes about this subject in such a compelling way-the text also en-

livened with beautiful pictures-that the whole idea comes alive, leaving a lasting

impression on the reader’s mind. The reader,

induced to think deeply about the hidden

truths of nature, ultimately experiences an in-

crease in his or her faith.

We pray that God may reward him for all

the good works that he is doing and give him

good health and a long life. And, God willing,

may his pen never run dry.

"HARUN YAHYA'S EVOLUTION DECEIT IS THE SCIENTIFIC,INTELLECTUAL AND ACADEMIC DEATH BLOW TO CHARLES

DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION"

Argentina, Abu Dharr Manzolillo

arun Yahya’s Evolution Deceit is the scientific, intellec-

tual and academic death blow to Charles Darwin’s the-

ory of evolution, a theory which has been largely discredited by

scientific advances in the fields of physics, chemistry and genet-

ics, among others. The book is thoroughly researched and

solidly scientific

As Harun Yahya explains, the theory of evolution does not limit it-

self to the field of biology; rather, it has socio-political, economic,

religious, scientific, and ethical repercussions and effects [in] all

spheres of life. The author explains that the objective of evolution-

ism is to destroy the belief in God, the Creator, in accordance with

the agenda of materialist atheists. Evolution Deceit is particularly

important as it exposes the hidden agenda of the evolutionists. It

becomes evident that as a thesis, as a philosophy, but most of all as

an ideology, the theory of evolution is intrinsically evil.

H

Until the publication of Evolution Deceit, the theory of evolu-

tion was often challenged on moral, ethical, and religious grounds

based on theological speculation. This contributed to the impres-

sion that evolutionism was a "scientific fact" well above "religious

myths" which were the object of ridicule. Harun Yahya’s work,

however, gives a fatal blow to evolutionism, exposing its falsehood

on the basis of science. It becomes evident that evolutionism is

nothing more than an atheistic dogma with no scientific basis

whatsoever. As a result of Harun Yahya’s extensive research, the

myth of evolution crumbles to the ground in utter ruin. Using the

same unquestionable scientific rigor he used to discredit evolu-

tionism, the author demonstrates that Almighty God, Allah, cre-

ated everything, which exists.

"THE BOOK IS FILLED WITH AMAZING FACTS AND LOGICALEXPLANATIONS AND ATTRACTIVE PICTURES, WRITTEN IN A LANGUAGE

THAT IS NOT CONFUSING BUT COMFORTING AND SATIATING"

Canada, Meer Sahib

I had heard about Harun Yahya for quite some time, but it was

only a few months ago I came to realize the greatness and

painstaking scholarship of this marvelous writer, when the Imam of the

Islamic Center, Sheikh Hamid Abu Malek Slimi, gave me a copy of his book

"The Evolution Deceit" as a gift. The Imam whetted my curiosity saying

"when you start reading this book, you wouldn’t put it away until you had

finished reading it in its entirety". It transpired that the Imam is an ardent

reader of Harun’s works and said that Harun’s books would make the

Muslim youth growing up in the West, proud to be Muslims.

After I finished reading the book, I reminisced the days of my youth with

much sadness, as I had spent many years wondering if in fact God existed. I

had searched for an answer in other religions as well, especially Christianity,

Hinduism and Buddhism, but this jour-

ney brought me no enlightenment, until

one day during my math class at the

University of Kyoto, Japan, the Theory of

Chances was explained and it was as if an

electric bulb lit up in my brains...

I would rather let the anxious

reader imbibe the nectar of this book,

which explains far more eloquently than

I could, in scientific and logical terms to

the enquiring mind, that, without an iota

of doubt, God Almighty exists. Today, no

one has to go through the agonizing

times I went through, trying to get a logi-

cal, scientific answer to my troubling

quest.

The book is filled with amazing facts and logical explanations and attrac-

tive pictures, written in a language that is

not confusing but comforting and satiat-

ing. What’s more, several other master

pieces have also taken wings through the

pens of Yahya, enriching the modern

knowledgebase of Muslims and filling

young minds with a treasure trove of in-

formation on Science, Islam and many

other subjects.

"HARUN YAHYA'S BOOKS MAKE MANKIND REFLECT ON THE WORDS OF THE GOD"

USA, Lezia Hill-Harris

I In the Qur’an, it teaches the believers to call to Islam with wis-

dom and fair preaching, to call others to worship The Living

god and not to ascribe partners in worship with Him. Harun’s books

clearly does this. He uses The Qur’an and Science to reach the people’s

intellect, to make them ponder and reflect on the verses of The Qur’an. I

have come across only a few books of this magnitude, which reach the

heart as well as the intellect. Not just by words only, but giving a visual

effect.

Many of us read but cannot envision or imagine what we read. But

when you have pictures along with the words, it reaches the heart as well

as the mind. The God tells mankind in innumerous verses, to look at the

sun, the moon, the earth, animals and even ourselves, for there are signs in

all of these things for those who reflect and ponder. So, Harun is clearly

doing that which The God commands.

29

In my opinion, Harun’s books make mankind reflect on the words of

The God. Reflect on His Greatness and Omnipotence. That which science

tries to explain away, Harun uses to

show that One with complete

Knowledge and Wisdom creates all that

exists. The All Knowing, The All Wise,

The All Powerful, All Seeing, All

Hearing Lord and Creator.

May The God continually bless

and enrich Harun Yahya in his work.

May The God grant him the best in

this world, in his grave, and in the

hereafter. He is truly one who calls

to the worship of The God.

"NEW BOOKS [BY HARUN YAHYA] ENRICH AIITC LIBRARY"(Albanian Institute of Islamic Thought & Civilisation)

Albania, Ramiz Zekaj

L ast times a lot of valuable books from different fields of life

and science have enriched the fund of books of AIITC and

among them the books of the well-known writer Harun Yahya in

English and Turkish. These books are scientific approach to Islam les-

sons. Who can read this literature will notice that the author’s out-

looks are well based in special surveys, experiments and analysis,

result of his long term studies in the respective fields.

The books are recently published, 99-2000. Many illustration help

to assimilate the problems handled in the books and rise up their func-

tional side.

The content of the books: DEEP THINKING, THE MIRACLE IN THE

ANT, PERISHED NATIONS, NEVER PLEAD IGNORANCE etc, have attracted

the attention of Albanian readers that evaluate the seriousness of the sci-

entific based interpretations of Harun

Yahya.

For AIITC opinion Islam library

thanks to these books enters the new

millennium with a special treasure of

modern-scientific literature. In this oc-

casion AIITC thanks all those persons

that have contributed for making this

possible and also wishes to the au-

thor long life and further successes

I have read Mr.Harun Yahya’s books: "Evolution Deceit",

"Perished Nations", "The Truth of the Life of this World",

"Ever Thought about the Truth", and "The Basic Concepts in the

Qur’an". I found these books in compliance with Islam’s teaching. Mr.

Yahya is quoting Quranic statements and drawing the attention of the

reader to the facts embedded in these statements to prove the truth-

fulness of God’s message, Islam.

I expect this writer to be recognized and honored by the Turkish

government for his fine work.

P oland is one the

biggest catholic coun-

try in the heart of Central and

Eastern Europe. It has also one of

the oldest Muslim minority within

its border. But the 600 — years old

tradition of coexistence of

Muslims and Non-Muslims still

does not bring the mutual under-

standing of each others. People

do not know much about Islamic

values and standards and they are

afraid, due to stereotypes, of

Muslim values. Therefore we,

Polish Muslims, have established in

1990 an association which main

goal is to bring better understanding of each ones’ values and ideas

and also to bring peace between the followers of different religions and

culture. In our opinion knowledge is the best protection of the peace.

Harun Yahya’s effort on this protection is one of the most recognized in

our time.

I am writing you on behalf of Polish Muslim Circle. For last 5 years we

had been organizing open lectures on different Islamic topics. What we

found is that the most interesting issue for the people here is the question

of death, resurrection and hell.

We started to look for the best Muslim analyses on these topics. And

this is how we found on internet Harun Yahya’s book on Death

Resurrection and Hell. After analyzing different authors and titles we de-

cided to translated the book of Harun Yahya as the best choice.

In our opinion this book is one of the best description of Muslim un-

derstanding of death, resurrection and hell. The inner strength of the

book and clearness of the text was recognized by several Polish intellec-

tuals who decided to translate other

Harun Yahya’s books on Islamic top-

I am frequently invited to speak about Islam in schools, churches,

in Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, I am usually faced with questions

about views of Islam on evolution, creation, women, morality, marriage, and

some other subjects. I do my best in answering these questions but those

who ask wanted something in writing to explain the subjects in more details.

I kept searching the Internet for good books and finally found the books of

Harun Yahya. The books are directed to the exact points of interest of the new

generations. This analysis is logic and is supported with ample scientific evi-

dences. Since then, I am giving his books free to the students who asked the

most intelligent questions.

Please find below my assessment about the books below authored by

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar). I use

these books in inviting Americans

in Universities and High Schools to

Islam.

1. The books are great scien-

tific analysis that explains most in-

volved concepts in a simple, easy

to understand progression.

2. The books are presented

in a high quality of finish,

colours, graphics and pictures.

They proved to be very attrac-

tive and effective.

3. The main themes in the

Books are:

a. The existence and

unity of Allah

R eport on the Religious-Scientific Value of the Following

Books of HARUN YAHYA:

- Perished Nations

- Evolution Deceit

- The Basic Concepts in the Qur’an

- For Men of Understanding

- Never Plead Ignorance

As the names suggest, these books bear a high intellectual value written

with a responsibility felt towards the society arising from the disbelief,

anti-rational understanding of Religion, and the general moral degenera-

tion existing in the actual society, everywhere.

Also, in these books, in my point of view, there is nothing contrary to the

general Islamic understanding, otherwise,

the writer in these books adheres to a prin-

ciple of the Holy Qur’an, which is obligatory

for all Muslims on the World.

Finally, I want to declare here that I have

just published, in Portugal, the

Portuguese version of the book of Harun

Yahya entitled "Perished Nations".

"PERISHED NATIONS IS A HAUNTINGLY BRILLIANT ELUCIDATION OF THEHISTORICAL LESSONS AVAILABLE TO TODAY'S SOCIETIES"

United Kingdom, Owen Alik Shahadah

P erished Nations is a hautingly brilliant elucidation of the his-

torical lessons available to today’s societies. This work doc-

uments the evidence of the recurring fate of ungodly societies, whose

moral and religious degradation, led to

their complete destruction. This well

researched piece of work by "Harun

Yahya" is brought to life in yet an-

other thrilling "audiomentary" by

Halaqah Media. The talented pen of

Mr. Yahya and the production genius

of Halaqah Media have taken

Perished Nations into new dimen-

sions.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my own humble,

unqualified views on how I personally feel about the excellent

works written by brother Adnan Oktar

(Harun Yahya).

The books I have studied, and the arti-

cles which I have read over the internet are a

valuable source of treasure for those seek-

ing the truth. The rich information which he

has produced regarding Evolution, con-

vincingly and without a doubt clarifies that

the theory of Darwin is a totally refutable

and unacceptable.

The research which the author has

compiled on the Miracles of the Holy

Quran and the wonders of the universe,

are mesmerizing and impressive for

those who are pursuing answers to their

questions, enabling them prox-

imity to Allah (SWT).

May Allah (SWT) grant you

success in this world and the here-

after for your services in the propa-

gation of this great religion of

Islam. I pray to Allah (SWT) and sin-

cerely hope that all the writings of

Harun Yahya become available in

English in the near future, for I truly

believe that his methodology of lit-

erature is captivating to the reader,

and useful for Muslims and non-

Muslims alike.

From my own encounters

with those living in Western soci-

eties, his valuable works have

transformed peoples way of think-

ing, leaving a permanent predomi-

nance on the minds of those

studying the origins of life.

In conclusion I pray to Allah (SWT) that you attain success in your en-

deavours in disseminating the truth.

H arun Yahya has done a great contribution to the advance-

ment of Islam through his many writings.

The book "Evolution Deceit" (EL ENGANO DEL EVOLUCIONISMO) is

unique, at least in the Spanish language.

The way our brother Harun Yahya has approach the topic of evoluti-

onism, makes it a valuable resource for learning.

The use of graphics and science to debate and topple old-atheistic-

misconceptions regarding the creation of humanity is of great importan-

ce to us as a community. We, the

Latino community, are looking

towards Islam and the Islamic

world-view to find solutions to

our problems, whether social,

moral, political, scientific,

economical or religious.

This book, because of

its contents and its structu-

re, can have a great appeal

to a vast number of the Lati-

no population, from the

scholar to the common

person.

We hope and pray

that Allah gives our brot-

her Harun Yahya a long

SUBJECT: Overview of the following books by Harun Yah-

ya:

Perished Nations

The Evolution Deceit

The Truth of the Life of this World

For Men of Understanding

When the first book by Harun Yahya was published in the UK, it

was read avidly by a wide readership, who excitedly anticipated the re-

lease of the subsequent books published by Taha Publishers.

Their popularity is surely due to the fact that within the framework

of Islam they address many subjects: archaeology, biology, chemistry,

natural history, paleontology and sociology are but a few. They are ref-

reshing to read, in that the author has cleverly managed to escape the

narrow confines of modern religious expression. In other words, the bo-

oks reflect the fact that Islam does in fact talk about all subjects, both

"worldly" and "spiritual".

In the past, the Muslim World flourished on account of this unders-

tanding, and made great leaps in the fields of scientific discovery, medi-

cine, astronomy, engineering, etc. They were spurred on by religious

conviction and the commandment to seek knowledge.

Harun Yahya has succeeded in putting the love of the Creator and

an appreciation of the created world back into the sciences, as the star-

ting point for any field of endeavor. As such, his books help to inject new

energy into the pursuit of knowledge, to carry forward all branches of

learning into the 21st century.

"HARUN YAHYA'S BOOKS ARE REFRESHING TO READ"

United Kingdom, Mona Abdul Haq

This is not only a source of pride, but equally a source of enco-

uragement to the younger generation.

I can honestly say that I have found in these books nothing inf-

lammatory or opposed to the common good. However, to claim that

they are perfect would be a foolish assertion. The only book in the

history of the world that contains no errors is the Qur’an itself. As

for the books by Harun Yahya, what is clearly manifest is the aut-

hor’s intention, which is simply to

highlight the wisdom and advice of

the Qur’an and draw attention to

certain undisputed facts, such as

the existence of Allah, the tran-

sitory nature of creation, life and

death, the secrets of the past and

mechanisms of nature.

W e are one of the largest mail-order and in-house book-

stores selling books on Islam and the Muslim World both

retail and wholesale in the United States. We carry books by the Turkish

writer Harun Yahya. These books are in great demand by Muslims as

well as non-Muslims here.

The author has very graphically illustrated the passing nature of this

world and drawn the attention of his readers towards living a moral life.

His books focus on scientific facts and the essence of Qur’anic values. His

books are a great contribution towards the well-being of not only the

Muslims but the world in general.

The Turkish people are very

fortunate to have a great author

like him.

I have read Harun Yahya’s book The

Evolution Deceit: The Scientific

Collapse of Darwinism and its Ideological

Background published by Okur Publications

1999. The author has very ably shown the sci-

entific flaws in the evolutionary theory. The

book is clear and thought provoking. It is writ-

ten in a passionate yet academic style.

This book is excellent not only in present-

ing the Islamic viewpoint on evolution, but it

could also be very useful for the people of all

faiths who have a common creationist perspec-

tive with Muslims.

well as the production of this work. I am ple-

For several years I worked with most prominent scientific organ-

izations which are working in affirmation concept of creation and was working

in publishing their books and videos in Yugoslavia. But, when I saw books and

videos by Harun Yahya, I decided that in future I will work just on materials by

Harun Yahya. These materials are something most fascinating what I saw and

I think that it is not possible explain to some person how fascinating they are.

The person must see these books and

videos, and then he can feel what I

feel.

appeal to people at all levels — those with knowledge and those with-

out, the academic and layperson, the young and the old.

It is to be hoped that these unique books will gain universal appeal

and make a significant contribution to international relations and under-

I have now had the opportunity to look through"The Evolution Deceit".

Without having had the time to read the book from cover to cover, I

can see that this is probably the most important book published by any Islamic

Publisher for many years. I am not sure how far our fellow Muslims understand

the threat which evolutionary theory poses to religious faith, but this theory

has done more than anything else to destroy belief in God among Westerners. I

think that many educated Muslims simply take the theory for granted without

fully considering its implications. What the author of this marvellous book has

done is to bring together, in a very readable way, all the latest evidence (often

derived from evolutionary scientists) which undermines the whole theory.

I should be grateful for a review copy. I

shall in any case have to purchase two or three

more copies for friends. I have for example a

friend living in Cairo, an English Muslim of my

age who nominally accepted Islam many

years ago, but who told me recently in a letter

that he cannot really "believe" because he ac-

cepts totally the theory of evolution and

cannot reconcile this with the faith of Islam.

It has seemed almost like a small miracle

that "The Evolution Deceit" has turned up

at this very moment.

I congratulate you warmly on having

published the book. In fact I feel that I

owe you a debt of thanks for doing so.

brought forward, researched, explained, then the master-

A fter reading many of the books produced by Harun Yah-

ya, I have been encouraging my students and the scho-

lars of Islam around the world to take a closer look at these remarkable

works. There is no doubt in my mind that these are the very tools ne-

eded to bring the people at large around to the correct way of thinking.

If anyone could read the material presented in such a clear and concise

manner and then reflect upon it seriously, they would have to conclude

that the evidences provided leave no room for dispute of any kind.

the evidences provi-

ded by Harun Yah-

much needed source of information in these most trying times. There

should be a concerted force to bring about a world wide distribution of

these books in all languages, particularly English, Spanish, French,

Dutch, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Korean and Japanese.

Harun Yahya has provided the world with the window into the re-

ality of existence, life and our purpose for being in this universe. I highly

applaud his efforts and the efforts of those who are working so hard to

publish and distribute his works. May Allah grant guidance to all those

"FOR A YOUNG PERSON, READING THE WORKS OF HARUNYAHYA OPENS SEEMINGLY CLOSED DOORS"

T he works of Harun Yahya are indeed a great contribution to the

reshaping of thinking and understanding of the world around us.

Our belief in Allah and His Oneness becomes that much more power-

ful, relevant and invigorating when it is the product of a vigorous mental ex-

ercise in which logic and reasoning are applied. This kind of mental effort is

in compliance with exhortations found in the Holy Quraan. Man is required

to think, ponder and deliberate the universe and his own existence within

the universe.

Islam is distinguished by the fact that we must not only be at peace

with others but also with ourselves. This is the necessary effect of a

Muslim’s total submission to the Will of Allah.

For a young person reading the

works of Harun Yahya opens seem-

ingly closed doors showing that

there is hope and many wonders

ahead by understanding and appre-

ciating the wonders of Allah’s cre-

ation within and around us.

"MANY OF THE WORKS OF HARUN YAHYA BRING OUT THE

HIDDEN CONCEPTS OF SCIENCE IN QUR'AN"

H arun Yahya has done a monumental task of conducting analy-

sis of numerous Qur’anic concepts while challenging western

philosophies that appear to confront them. In many instances comes out

bold to challenge western writers through his logical arguments on the

basis of Qur’anic concepts. The selected examples of his facing such chal-

lenges are the concepts of evolution, relativity, and timelessness.

In relativity and timelessness he builds numerous examples, based on

Qur’anic concepts, in explaining the concepts of relativity through exam-

ples of the differentiated operation periods of the entire system of material

existence. He then goes on to explain that the concept of time depends on

the perception of a given instance or an event. He thus goes on to accept the

challange of the Qur’an to all its readers to constantly think and attempt to

understand the various signs of Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala).

Many of the works of Harun

Yahya bring out the hidden concepts

of science in Qur’an through criti-

cally review signs of Allah through

direct references to various cre-

ations in Nature. This is what is ex-

actly needed to convince the

young mind in particular about the

depth in which the Qur’an is

brought to them.

H arun Yahya is exceptionally a great advocate of ALLAH’s signs in

the Universe. His scholarly works in this area have made great im-

pact in the world of science and reason. His main focus is to show that the con-

cept of materialism is not only repugnant to human logic but also have no

scientific grounds. Haroon Yahya, thoroughly examines the universe and what

exists therein, from logical and scientific point of view and presents his argu-

ments based on current scientific knowledge and irrefutably proves that the

Universe has a beginning and therefore is created by ALLAH.

He examines all elements of the subject and tests all possibilities with

logic and science and draws highly convincing conclusions. All his works I

have read are the treasure of information and an example of his powerful but

simple style without any prejudices.

Being a humble student of the Qur’an, I

was enlightened by his writings a great deal.

I have the honour of reading some of his

books like "Evolution Deceit; The Creation

of the Universe; Allah is Known Through

Reason; For Men of Understanding."

I will advise every conscientious

Muslim to read his books to find that

Harun Yahya is a different author who

can exert lasting impact on the minds of

those who are in search of truth.

S ince quite some time Islam has been facing a tremendous nega-

there had been no strong voice against all of this.. until brother Harun

Yahya came. Islam needed a powerful subliminal voice to speak for itself

amids all this nonsense. Harun Yahya’s

works have progressed over time, his

word reaches out to the rest of the

world be it for Muslims or people in

general. His books and vide clearly

portray the true meaning of Islam and

how the one "God" is our only creator.

His work is balanced and speaks with a

lot of proof. Harun Yahya puts a lot of

research into his materials and justi-

fies it with the logical presence of

"God" and his miracles in our exis-

tence.

We wish him all the best of

produce more successful projects

so that the entire world will know

that real Islam is.

scientific content written in a clear way for everybody to understand.

In my opinion, the very same scenery of the Galapagos Islands in

Ecuador that captivated thousands by its nature and the unique species,

will Inshallah help him out to have the same recoil effect for disclaiming the

Charles Darwin theory of the Evolution.

This will be by the Grace of ALLAH, a step forward to establish the au-

thenticity of the Qur’an and Islam.

Juan Suqu›lloD›rector, Islam›c Centre OF Ecuador

R eading the books of Harun Yahya has always been a source of

immense pleasure thanks to the invaluable insights he artfully

and cleverly gave us into authentic Islamic values, rational thinking and gen-

uine teachings.

Thousands of books have been written about Islam, but few could

claim to have made the impact of his books on the ideologies and thinking

of thousands of people.

One of the greatest merits of Harun Yahya is that he builds up his argu-

ments carefully and logically, with [taking] the average reader always into

consideration. He provides background information when needed, and

avoids repetition and pompous expressions to keep the reader in focus. He

never looses sight of the main idea

and always steers away from emo-

tional traps.

It is the ability to generate in-

terest and the keenness to respect

the reader’s intelligence that help

make him one of the most out-

standing writers about genuine

Islam and relevant Islamic

themes.

"READING THE BOOKS OF HARUN YAHYA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOURCE OF IMMENSE PLEASURE"

Bahrain, Habib Toumi

Pakistan, Dr. Najib-ul-Haq

M any people had been observing an apple falling down from a

tree to the ground, however it was only Newton who had the

capacity to think, discover and define the laws of gravity as result of this ob-

servation. In Quraan it has been said time and again to "think" on various as-

pects of His creations. However it is only few who have thought about

Allah’s creations and could find His "miracles" and the proof of His exis-

tence. There had been some efforts by scholars particularly the Muslim

scholars in this direction but Harun Yahya has given it a new direction. I can

confidently say that he has added a new chapter to the Islamic literature.

Religion has always been considered in opposition to science. Even today

there are many schools of thought who consider religion and science not in

congruence with each other. Unfortunately some Muslim "scholars" have also

fallen victim of this propaganda. However Islam is the only religion, which has

considered science as part and parcel of its belief. Religion has been ex-

pressed, propagated and advocated by Muslim scholars in different ways.

However there had been little effort in explaining religion in light of the cre-

HARUN YAHYA HAS ADDED A NEW CHAPTER TO THE ISLAMIC LITERATURE

ations of Allah, be it living or non-living. In Quraan it has been said time and

again to "think" and "ponder" on various aspects of the universe.

When I read and study various writings of Harun Yahya the basis ap-

pears to be one word of the Holy Quraan i.e. "Yathafakkaroon" which has

been repeated more than a dozen times and means -- "think". His writings are

so appealing thought provoking that one is compelled to start thinking about

his creator and the creator of the universe. It also makes you think about the

reason of creation of human beings and the universe. It clarifies that scien-

tific discoveries are revealing more and more "proofs" of the Truth of Islam.

There is nothing in science which is contradictory to Islam. In fact every new

scientific understanding is revealing the secrets of the "creations" of Allah

and thus is a source of strength for our "belief".

The books of Harun Yahya cover a wide variety of subjects. On one

hand it makes you ponder on the miracles in human body (like "miracles in

Immune system" and "miracles in the eye") while the other he makes you

think about the harmony and secrets in Universe (like "creation of the uni-

verse" and "miracles in the atom").

He has very effectively challenged all aspects of "Darwinism" and has

undoubtedly thrashed his theory of evolution with reasons and facts, also ex-

posing the forgery committed by the "scholars" propagating Darwinism.

He is a writer, who has looked at Islam from a new angle and expressed it

very effectively based on scientific evidence and reasons. In medical liter-

ature we have "evidence based medicine". Harun Yahya has exactly done

the same and produced "evidence based Islam". The evidence has been

gathered and produced from "nature" and the everlasting laws, which are

operating in nature since Allah created it.

May Allah give him the reward of his efforts on "The Day After". Our

duty is, to at least study and strengthening his thoughts by propagating and

supporting this new addition to the Muslim literature.

T he world is in the midst of crisis. Human beings are facing multitude

of crisis because of their rejection of God and His system. The world-

wide socio-economic and environment problems, moral degradation and spiri-

tual crisis are some of the manifestations of the rejection. Ever since science

detached itself from the Islamic root and follow the agnostic and atheistic sys-

tem of the West, it created more problems than benefit. Science with the west-

ern perspectives strengthened the ancient Greek doctrine of materialism which

led to the formulation of various atheistic philosophies. Human beings were

misled into following these philosophies such as utilitarianism, hedonism, indi-

vidualism, fascism and many others which trapped the people into the endless

problems and miseries. Is there any glimpse of hope that humanity could be

saved from the oblivion? Yes if human being accepts God and His system.

Haron Yahya’s works have contributed to this glimpse of hope for the sal-

vation of humanity. Haron’s works are well-read through the world and many

people are moved and have "surrendered to the will of God". The books on sci-

ence and the Quran and other related topics written by Haron have demolished

the notion that empiricism is the only trustworthy and believable source of

knowledge. The Qur’an which ever since its revelation has "mesmerized" multi-

tude of people, such as al-Walid bin Mughairah, the Arabian noble laureate, and

Omar Khattab, for its language, eloquence, and yet again at this modern age, the

Qur’an has shown its miracles in terms of science. Haron’s work in this topic is

very much commendable and should be

read by those who aspire to know Islam

and its teaching.

"HARUN YAHYA'S BOOKS MAKE UP A RICH AND BENEFICIALINFORMATION SOURCE FOR UNIVERSITY AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS"

H arun Yahya, the well known scientific writer from Turkey, is the

scholar who has waged the most effective scientific war against

the lie of evolution over the last decade. With scientific facts and sound evi-

dence, the author clearly exposes the lie of evolution, which lacks any scien-

tific proof, and shows the clear signs and might of God the Almighty, the

Lord of all the worlds, known and unknown to man.

With their easygoing and fluent style, Harun Yahya’s books that have

been translated into Russian are easily understandable by both scholars

and lay readers. They are therefore very popular among Russian people.

These books further constitute a rich and beneficial source of information

for university and high school students. It will be a great success for the fu-

ture if these books are included in

the educational curricula of

schools and academic institu-

tions.

T he Middle Path is a monthly magazine that publishes articles

on science, faith and politics. Published in the UK, it carries

various articles by Harun Yahya. It referred to Harun Yahya on the

cover of its December 2000 edition, under the headline "Harun Yahya

on Islam and Science." The same edition carried Harun Yahya’s article

"In Every Age There Existed An Ignorant Society." In the light of verses

from the Qur’an, this article analyzes

those ignorant societies that have no

knowledge of Islamic morality.

Another article that appeared in

the October, 2000, edition of The

Middle Path was "From Caterpillar

marvelous stages in the metamor-

phosis from caterpillar to the per-

fect shape of a butterfly. The

article also discusses the won-

drous 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.

"Harun Yahya is a well known writer from Istanbul who has written nu-merous books and articles on Islam, which includes the marvels of Allah'screations, the evolution theory, and politics.

In Harun Yahya’s "Common Material, Design and Designer," which

ments in the Genome Project were discussed. The following is an ex-

tract from the article:

"The recent completion of the human gene map within the scope of theHuman Genome Project is an important scientific development.However, some results of this project are being distorted in some evo-lutionist publications. It is claimed that the genes of chimpanzees are98% similar to human genes, and this is presented as an evidence forthe claim that apes are close to humans, and therefore, logical ances-tors of humans as claimed by Darwin's theory of evolution. The ar-gument is misleading… The claim of 98% similarity is deceptive. Toclaim that the genetic make-ups of man and chimpanzee bear 98%similarity to each other the genome of the chimpanzee also has to bemapped 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 thechimpanzee has been done yet. …Darwinists are distorting the resultsof the Human Genome Project. Life did not originate as a result of

unconscious coincidences as evolutionclaims, but as the result of the creation ofAllah, the Almighty, the Owner of infiniteknowledge and wisdom."

USA - Gett›ng Back to Qur'an & The 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 to

God. In another edition of the magazine, an article by Harun Yahya enti-

tled "The Moral Values of the Qur’an" discussed worshipping God in the

best way and the behavior appropriate to a believer.

A ftab is the magazine of the New York University Students’union. It has also published various articles by Harun

Yahya. Its December-January, 2001, issue carried an article by Harun

Yahya entitled "The Signs in the Heaven and the Earth." This article

says that everything, from the smallest piece of matter to the immense

galaxies that contain millions of stars, works according to an order,

and that this order is under the control of God. In the February-March,

2001, issue of the magazine, an article entitled "The Expansion of the

Universe" presented a discussion, based on scientific evidence and ob-

servation, of the fact that God created the universe from nothing.

The author, Haroon Yahya, has published numerous books and booklets ex-plicitly proving the existence of Allah, emphasizing the marvelous creation ofAllah against the materialistic and atheistic ideologies, and of course theirmost efficient and significant view: the Evolution Theory. Harun Yahya is wellknown throughout the world and his organization was gracious enough tocontribute articles as well as books for our Islamic Center.

S alam is published every two

Yahya: The November-December,

1999, issue contains an article enti-

tled "Philosophies that Made the

Mistake of Denying Allah," which dis-

cusses those scientists who deny the

existence of God even though they

have closely observed the clear evidence for it; The May-June, 2000,

100

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 en-

titled "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

101

by God. The article " A Living Planet," in the January-February,

2001, issue, demonstrated that God created the world in a per-

fect balance so that human beings could live in it most com-

fortably; The March-April issue ran an article entitled "Why

Does Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Contradict With Religion?"

and the September-October 2001 issue carried the article "The

Pak›stan - Rena›ssance

H arun 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 wrongpoint of view about the Qur'an and make people understand that theQur'an is not a book which is addressed only to the Prophet (sws) butto all people who consider themselves Muslims. Any person who ut-ters this statement: "I'm a Muslim, alhamdulillah" must read theQur'an and try to understand the meaning of the verses. In the Qur'an,the importance of learning verses and reciting them are especially em-phasized. ...Some people believe that the Qur'an addresses only Muslims of the7th century and some others think that only a small part of the versesaddresses people other than the Muslims of the 7th century. A personhaving such an approach gets satisfied with reading the Qur'an andthinks he fulfils his religious duties by doing so. However, this is notonly a matter of learning what is inside of the Qur'an, but also put-ting them into practice, fulfilling the duties ordered in the Qur'an,adapting moral standards explained in the Qur'an; briefly, bringingthe Qur'an into one's own everyday life."

T he August, 1999, issue of the monthly magazine Albalagh, pub-

lished 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 ug-liness and torment Hell is full with. Those who have denied Allah astheir Creator are punished with an endless penalty in Hell. ...The com-mon characteristic of the unbelievers who deserve Hell is their rejec-tion 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

"Allah Ta'ala created the first human being, Hazrath Adam (A.S.), fromsand. This was the beginning of human species. The Qur'an has de-clared this in several places. However, western scientists are still atpains to try and prove that their forefather was an ape. In their quest

to fool others into believing the fallacy of evolution, they resort tothe most deceptive means."

from that article:

"The 77% of nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% of carbon dioxide aswell as other gasses readily available in the atmosphere representthe ideal figures necessary for the survival of living beings.Oxygen, a gas that is vital for living beings, helps food to beburned and converted into energy in our bodies.If the oxygen quantity in the atmosphere were greater than 21%,the cells in our body would soon start to suffer great damages.The vegetation and hydrocarbon molecules needed for life would

also be destroyed. If this quantity were less, then this wouldcause difficulties in our respiration, and the food we eat wouldnot be converted into energy. Therefore, the 21% of oxygen in theatmosphere is the most ideal quantity determined for life."

In the November 2001 - February 2002 edition of the journal, a

review of Harun Yahya’s The Creation of the Universe was pub-

lished. That review said:

"In this world of modern science where old beliefs and valuesare fast eroding, Harun Yahya's book is like a textbook. A mustfor all our boys and girls who today are seeking knowledge allover the world and being indoctrinated into the scientific worldwhere Allah does not exist."

I qra is the magazine of the South Bay Islamic Organization

(SBIA) in San Jose, California, a non-profit organization ded-

icated to weaving the universal teachings of Islam into the fabric of

American society. Harun Yahya’s article published in the April, 2002,

issue of the magazine was titled "In Every Age There Existed an

Ignorant Society". An extract from the article reads:

From the time man was created, there have always been two distinctsocieties: the ignorant society and the community of believers. Allthose who fail to observe the limits set by religion, constitute the ig-norant society. Despite discrepancies in beliefs, thoughts and waysof living, one fundamental rationale lays the groundwork for the lifeof all ignorant societies: not to adhere to true religion.

Harun Yahya is a regular contributor of this magazine.

Harun Yahya’s articles published in this newspaper address

Everything From the Point of View of the Qur’an" maintains that

everything takes place in accordance with the destiny Allah has

determined, and that therefore everything has a purpose. What

believers should do, according to the author, is to interpret each

event in the light of the Qur’an and react in the way the Qur’an

prescribes.

I n the April, 1999, issue of this magazine, an article was car-

ried entitled "Co-operation Between Animals and Plants,"

which discussed the life that plants and animals have in common.

Here is an extract from that article:

"..One good example is the pitcher plant (Nepenthes bicalcarata)that grows in Eastern India. This plant, that is exactly in the shapeof carafe, houses ant colonies in its body. It feeds on insects by seiz-ing the ones that perch on it, captures them and in the end digeststhem. On the other hand, the guest ants have privilege for this car-nivorous plant. The pitcher plant ignores the existence of ants in anincomprehensible manner. Truly the ants and the plant have a dealwith each other for their mutual benefit. The ants are under the threatof being eaten by the plant, nevertheless they have gained a home forthemselves. On the other hand, the plant leaves remnants of sometissues and insects for the ants and in return, it gains the right to getprotected from its enemies by the ants. This example defines the mainfeatures of symbiosis between the ants and the plant. The anatomyand physiological structures of the ants and the plant hosting themare so designed as to provide a mutual relationship. However theevolutionists claim that such relationship gradually became wide-spread in millions of years, assuming an obvious illogical thesis thattwo living beings lacking intelligence made an agreement andplanned such 'mutual benefit' system-somehow."

But it is never too late to repent to Allah, and to re-orient all one's deeds and the conduct of one's life in submission tothe will of Allah. Life is short; the human soul is eternal. During thisshort period, one should not allow temporary passions to controlone. A person should resist temptation and keep himself away fromeverything that will strengthen his bonds to this world. It is surelyunwise to neglect the next world just for the sake of the temporaryjoys of this one...."

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 be-lievers should be on their guard againsttrends of thought that oppose Allah andreligion. The duty of a Muslim in theface of Darwinism is to destroy thatgreat lie and to proclaim the truth ofcreation.

When we look at the life of Allah's

AApprriill//MMaayy 22000022

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 cre-ation and shared his contemplations with the believers around him. Welearn from ahadiths of Allah's Messenger (saas) that he "stood upamongst the believers for a long period and informed them about the be-ginning of creation" (Sahih Bukhari, Book 54, Volume 4, Book 54,Number 414)

So, a great and important respon-sibility falls to people of goodconscience to wage a scientificfight and make a great effort todo away with the Darwinist,materialist thought that op-

poses the Qur'an.

Water is "just right" for life to a de-gree that cannot be compared with anyother liquid. The larger part of thisplanet, a world whose other attributes(temperature, light, electromagneticspectrum, atmosphere, surface, etc.) areall suitable for life, has been filled withjust the right amount of water necessaryfor life. It should be obvious that thiscannot all be accidental and that theremust instead be intentional design.

"The author demonstrates that the advo-cates of the materialism have always sup-ported the idea of evolution even if thistheory has been refuted by scientific facts.Contrary the views of evolutionists, thebook proves with evidence that life has been made possible thanks to theCreator. 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 gov-ernment of the entire universe."

In most of the countries where Muslims arethe minority and Arabic is not the spoken lan-guage, only a small percentage of people knowthe content of the Qur'an and ponder on the

Qur'an as required. As a result, people who are ignorant of the real mes-sage of the Qur'an attribute dif-ferent meanings to it. Manypeople believe some traditionsto have their origin from theQur'an, although they may becontradictory to the very na-ture of the Quranic message.

scientists turn to God. An extract from the article reads:

The attributes of the universe discovered by science point to the exis-tence of God. Science leads us to the conclusion that the universe has aCreator and this Creator is perfect in might, wisdom and knowledge. Itis religion that shows us the way in knowing God. It is therefore possi-ble to say that science is a method we use to better see and investigatethe realities addressed by religion.

M edia Coverage

The works of Harun Yahya, written to expose the fallacy of the the-

ory of evolution, have attracted great attention in the foreign press,

and press organizations have devoted a lot of space to them. Some

have printed lectures and books showing how 20th century science

has invalidated the theory, and others have devoted space to reviews

of these books in order to inform their readers that there is no such

process as evolution.

164

USA - Sc›ence

T he influence of Harun Yahya’s books on evolution, and es-

pecially his internationally renowned The Evolution

Deceit, is reflected in the well-known scientific evolutionary maga-

zine Science. In an article in the May 18 edition by Robert Koenig,

entitled "Creationism Takes Root Where Europe, Asia Meet," the

author gives a lengthy account of Harun Yahya’s struggle against

the deception of the theory of evolution, the international success

of his book The Evolution Deceit and of the defeat of evolutionists

in Turkey. The article emphasizes that this broad academic en-

deavor-"One of the world’s strongest anti-evolution movements

outside North America"-aims to cause the collapse of the theory

of evolution on the scientific front, and that it is making inroads in

other Muslim countries. Another topic dealt with in this article is

the international success of The Evolution Deceit. It says that some

evolutionist scientists in Turkey complain that "books by Harun

Yahya such as The Evolution Deceit have become more influential

than textbooks in certain parts

of Turkey". In the article, the

concerns of Turkish evolution-

ists are expressed in these

words "…Many evolutionist

scientists fear they are losing

ground to creationists in

public opinion".

essentially evolutionist, the November-December, 1999, issue was de-

voted to the works of Harun Yahya dealing with the collapse of the the-

ory of evolution. The cover bears the title, "Islamic Creationism in

Turkey" and gives this introduction:

"... Most representative is Harun Yahya’s text The Evolution Deceit.The book comes in 2 version - a large, attractive 370-page volume no-table for its many full-color illustrations and slick appearance (Yah-ya 1997) and an abridged 128-page booklet with fewer illustrations,which was widely distributed free of charge to the public (Yahya1998)…

Observing the awesome and orderly aspects of nature - the heavensand the stability of the earth, lightning and rain, useful plant andfruits, and so on - prompts common sense to conclude that all thismust be designed for a purpose (13 Ar-Rad 2, 3; 30 Ar-Rum 20-27)..."

In this fascinating book, Harun Yahya has

written a remarkable and extremely effective

reminder of "the truth of the life of this world". Throughout, the text is

clear and readable and the marshalling and use of Qur'anic ayaat ex-

tremely effective. The book is su-

perbly presented, with numerous

full-colour photographs, illustra-

tions and diagrams, beautifully

designed. This book is one of the

very few that is likely to be con-

vincing to skeptical readers

steeped in western propaganda,

be they Muslim or non-Muslim.

able achievement.

Bosn›a - Oslobodenje/Kun

Harun Yahya has put together a vast

range of books which tackle the very

subjects that have bothered me, and

for that, I am sure many similar stu-

dents will take great benefit. The

style of the books is not that of dry

academia, but is readable and

straightforward, so that even

youngsters can study and benefit

from the thoughts contained

therein. The message is added to

by the many colourful and rele-

vant photographs, which not

only enliven the page but are

also good thought-provokers in

themselves. This is the major function

of the Harun Yahya books, I feel-to widen our consciousness,

give us material to ponder on which we may not have known before, and,

thus, help us to understand a little more of the Greatness and Grace of Allah.

T he Muslim Reader is a quarterly magazine published by the Muslim

Converts’ Association of Singapore. The review of For Men of

Understanding, published in the July-September, 2000, edition, reads:

For me the main value of the book is that it emphasizes the wondrous

world and thus might encourage some readers to move away from materi-

alist or atheist tendencies.

It was when I came here to the US that I discov-ered your website and have downloaded a couple of books from there.However, I will really like my colleagues back in Nigeria, especially thosein the university environment, to have the opportunity of reading yourbooks and hopefully, be positively influenced by them. Many of us study-ing for higher degrees see you as a role model in applying our scientificknowledge for the progress of Islam.

Most people think and lives islam in definite times, during the preyars,ramadan, reading Quran...And they do not remember Quran in other cir-cumstances.

FRED COVONER / SWITZERLAND

Your works are notifying everyone about the reality of Islam. Peoplewould live best if they live islam. People would think their brothers andsisters before doing something, they would care their brothers and sis-ters more than they care themselves. You explain these in a brilliant wayin your books.

SHIMON ZANG / ISRAEL

I am living in Tel Aviv. We, Jewish people, do fell respect to people whohave helped to our brothers in past. As it is written in your site, OttomanEmpire was land of piece for all religions because Islam advises people tobe fair, peaceful, helpful, conciliative, as those are the values all religionsadvise. We are all in the same way believing in the same values. We all areagains atrocity to blameless people. Congratulations for your heartystudies.

This site presented

The Evolution Deceit

by Harun Yahya,

which is slated for

publication in

Indonesian.

Throughout this book, we have seen the reaction that Harun Yahya’s

works have received around the world and the ever-growing interest in

them. We have seen 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 inti-

mate and attractive style, they can be simply and easily understood by peo-

ple 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 knowl-

edge 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 commer-

cial interest or expectation of profit and as a result their sincerity has an im-

mediate 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 audi-

ence 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.
