reveals that he is "One of high esteem in this world and the
Hereafter, and one of those brought near [to Allah]." (Surah Al
'Imran, 45) Allah sent the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to call the community
he lived in to the true path, and revealed the Gospel to him to
distinguish between truth and falsity. This is revealed asfollows in
Surat al-Ma'ida, verse 46:
And We sent Jesus son ofMary following in their footsteps, confirming
the Torah that came before him. We gave him the Gospel containing
guidance and light, confirming theTorah that came before it, and as
guidance and admonition for those who fear [and respect Allah].
By claiming that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is the son of Allah;
Christians cause millions of people to become irreligious
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview dated December 10 th , 2009
The religion revealed to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)is "the true
religion, thatwhich believes in Allah, the One and Only." However,
this holy individual's message was distorted following his being taken
into the presence of Allah, with true Christianity being replaced by
"a false belief based on superstitious philosophies," such as that
"The Prophet Jesus being the son of Allah, the Trinity and atonement
for sins." (Surely Allah is beyond all these.) The people who believed
this failed to understand that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is
amanifestation of Allah. The scale of the error into which some
Christians have fallen is revealed as follows in the Qur'an:
People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion. Say nothing
butthe truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son ofMary, was only the
Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He cast into Mary, and a Spirit
from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not say, 'Three.'
It is better that you stop. Allah is only One God. He is too Glorious
to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in the Earthbelongs to
Him. Allah suffices as a Guardian. The Messiah would never disdain to
be a servant to Allah nor would the angels near toHim. If any do
disdain to worship Him, and grow arrogant, He will in any case gather
them all to Him. (Surat an-Nisa', 171-172)
Those who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,' are unbelievers.
Say: 'Who possesses any power at all over Allah if He desires to
destroy theMessiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and everyone else on
Earth?' The kingdom of the heavens and the Earth and everything
betweenthem belongs to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. Allah has
power over all things. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 17)
As revealed in several verses of the Qur'an, the real Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) is very different to what such people imagine. He is a servant
created by Allah. He is a holy prophet who submitted to our Lord,
someone with lofty moral values and made superior to all the worlds.
He always referred to the sublime might and power of our Lord when
preaching the word, and said that he was a servant of Allah. Just like
the prophets Abraham, Moses (peace be upon them), Muhammad (may Allah
bless him and granthim peace) and all the others, the Prophet
Jesus(pbuh) is a servant and prophet of Allah. He is a created being
possessed of human characteristics.He himself used to pray to Allah.
The concept of trinity in Christianity means polytheism
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview dated December 3 rd , 2009
The Qur'an describes how the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) preached the word
and how he described himself:
He said, "I am the servant of Allah, He has given me the Book and made
me a prophet. He has made me blessed wherever I am and directed me to
do prayerand give alms as long as I live. (Surah Maryam, 30-31)
I come confirming the Torah I find already there, and to make lawful
for you some of what was previously forbidden to you. I have brought
you a Sign fromyour Lord. So have taqwa of Allah and obey me. Allah is
my Lord and your Lord so worship Him. That is a straight path." (Surah
Al 'Imran, 50-51)
To ascribe divine status to the Prophet Jesus (surely Allah is beyond
that) means to fail to properly appreciate the might, greatness and
divine power of our Lord. It is certain that Almighty Allah is
unfettered by any weakness or deficiency. Everything in this world
belongs to Allah, and He is the sole Creator, Power and Force. Allah
reveals this in the Qur'an:
Say: "He is Allah, Absolute Oneness, Allah, the Everlasting
Sustainerof all. He has not given birth and was not born. And no one
is comparable to Him." (Surat al-Ikhlas, 1-4)
Every being other than Allah is a manifestation of Him. Jesus is a
holy prophet who called on our Lord by the finest names.
All Entities Are Manifestations of Allah, and He Enfolds All Beings
Allah created the universe from nothing and has absolute dominion over
it. Everything in the Earth and sky belongs to Him alone. Allah is
everywhere. All mothers and fathers are manifestations of Allah. All
children are manifestations of Allah. All butterflies, birds, trees,
roses and fruits are manifestations of Allah. The planets, suns and
giant universe are manifestations of Allah. The presence of Allah is
manifested in many places and forms. This is the creative artistry of
Allah. Allah has the power to show His infinite might and power in the
manner He chooses in the entity He chooses.
Allah is not separate from His creations. All beings and everything
inthe universe are images of Him. People can neversee Almighty Allah
in person, but they are in constant contact with manifestations of
Him. A person is himself a manifestation of Allah. Almighty Allah
pervades all things in the universe. Allah reveals this in the
following verse:
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
notsubject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
Earth belongs to Him. Who canintercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them andwhat is behind them
butthey cannot grasp any ofHis knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara, 255)
Allah reveals His closeness to the manifestations of Him:
We created man and Weknow what his own self whispers to him. We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Surah Qaf, 16)
Our Lord reveals how Hispresence pervades all places:
Both East and West belong to Allah, so wherever you turn, the Face of
Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat
al-Baqara, 115)
The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) superior moral values, his exemplary
behavior, the miracles bestowed on him by our Lord and all the
extraordinary attributes He was blessed with by Allah are all special
manifestations of our Lord. He is a beloved servant of Allah, a holy
prophet who is an intense manifestation of His title of ar-Rahman. The
fact that he was someone who, by Allah's leave, displayed the same
moral values as theangels and behaved in a holy and superior manner
may have led some people to falsely imagine that he is Allah in person
or else the son of Allah (surely Allah is beyond all these). Allah
manifested His extraordinary beauty and sublimity in the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh). The failure of some Christians to properly understand and
grasp this and express it properly, led to the gradual emergence of
opinions far removed from the true essence of the religion.
The fact is, however, that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is only human, a
servant who eats, sleeps,prays to Allah, fears Allahand seeks shelter
in Him,someone created by Allah. He is a holy personbeloved of Allah
and honored and chosen by Him. It must not be forgotten that making
unrealistic and illogical claims about the ProphetJesus (pbuh), ones
far removed from the true essence of the religion, has led a great
many Christians to turn their backs on the faith. Our Christian
brothers must bear this in mind and turn away from all descriptions of
and beliefs concerning the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) that are incompatible
with the true religion.
By Allah's leave, in the End Times in which we are living now the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth with all his radiance and
purity, and will be instrumental, together with Hazrat Mahdi (as)
inIslam coming to rule the world. After that, he will come to the end
of his life in this world, die andgo to Paradise, where hewill live as
a manifestation of the infinite and glorious beauty of Allah. It is
Allah, the Baqi, the Almighty, whose infinite being and might enfold
all places.
The Truth about the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) Revealed in the Qur'an
Because of their love for the Prophet Jesus, some Christians make the
error of producing different interpretationsof the excellent features
bestowed on him by Allah's blessing and Allah's manifestation of
Himself as ar-Rahman in this holy prophet. Almighty Allah is One,
thesole Creator, and there isno other god but Him. Allah is the Hayy,
the Creator of the whole universe, living or inanimate. He is always
living, the lord of all things at all times, and He needs nobody and
nothing. But all living things need our Lord in order to survive.
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is an honest person who knows that he needs
Allah, who is eager to discharge his duty as His servant, and who has
sincerely submitted to our Lord. Allah also reveals this
characteristic of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in the Qur'an:
The Messiah would never disdain to be a servant to Allah nor would the
angels near toHim. If any do disdain to worship Him, and grow
arrogant, He will in any case gather them all to Him. (Surat an-Nisa',
172)
Another verse revealing that the Prophet Jesus is a servant of Allah reads:
He said, "I am the slave of Allah, He has given methe Book and made me
aprophet." (Surah Maryam, 30)
This is how we are told that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is mortal and,
like everyone else, will be resurrected after death in the Hereafter:
Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die and the day I
am raised up again alive.(Surah Maryam, 33)
Allah created him and made him a messenger charged with telling people
about monotheistic belief. After that, our Lord thwarted all the
cunningsnares of those who plotted against him and raised him into His
presence. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth in the End
Timesin which we are living now and complete his work as commanded by
Allah. It is Allah Who has ordained his entire destiny, everything
that will happen to him in hislife and who will cause them to happen
when the moment comes. It is Allah Who creates all the miracles he
works. All the excellent attributes of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) are
manifestations of Allah within him. All the miracles he performed took
place through Allah's mercy upon Him. The Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
preached his powerful faith in Allah throughout his life and called
people to Allah's true path. His call on people to believe in Allah is
revealed in verse 36 of Surah Maryam:
"Allah is my Lord and your Lord so worship Him. This is a straight path."
True Christians must obey this call of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as
revealed in the Qur'an and submit to and serve Allah as their one
Lord. There is no doubt that inthese days when the coming of the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is imminent, the best welcome for this holy
prophet will be to exhibit total faith in the belief in Allah he
preached.
As our Lord reveals in the Qur'an; "... He has no partner in the
Kingdom. He created everything and determined it most exactly" (Surat
al-Furqan, 2) Allah is the absolute Lord of the universe and has no
need of any helper. This is revealed in another verse:
And say: "Praise be to Allah Who has had no son and Who has no partner
in His Kingdom and Who needs no one to protect Him from abasement."
And proclaim His Greatness repeatedly! (Surat al-Isra', 111)
With the Coming of the Prophet Jesus, All Christians Will Believe in
This Truth Revealed in the Qur'an
The End Times we are living in is when we will see the coming of the
Prophet Jesus and HazratMahdi (peace be upon them). According to the
Qur'an, hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) and statements by
great Islamic scholars, the coming of the Prophet Jesus and
HazratMahdi (peace be upon them) is imminent. This holy age will be a
time when Allah is praised across the world as the One and Only, when
people live by the essence of the true religion, an age of plenty,
abundance, well-being, peace and security. It will be known as the
Golden Age.
As revealed in the Qur'an, in this time when the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
returns to Earth, there will not be a singleperson from the People of
the Book (Christians and Jews) who does not believe in him (Surat
an-Nisa', 159). At this time, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will explain
that he is a holy, worthy and superior individual chosen by Allah,
that he is not the son of Allah, and will call on the whole Christian
world toadopt a monotheistic faith by stating that he believes in
Almighty Allah, the One and Only. As our Lord tells us, all
Christians, without exception, will worship Him alone in this time.
By Allah's leave, this timeis now close at hand. All Christians will
clearly hear the truth from the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and will believe
in the truth. The world will be a place when everyone comes together
around a single word, where they live as brothers in peace and
security. (You can access articles of ours describing how no blood
will be shed in thetime of Hazrat Mahdi from here and here .)
Statements on the subject by Adnan Oktar are set out below:
From Adnan Oktar's interview on 10 December 2009
PRESENTER: You say in your books, based on the Qur'an, that the
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) did not die and that he will, by
Allah's leave, return to Earth. I think that Dan Brown, world
renownedauthor, must have read your books, as he writes,"In my view,
Jesus was not crucified." He says,"There is considerable evidence that
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was not crucified and that he did not believe
he was the son of Allah." What do you think of that?
ADNAN OKTAR: He looks atit very rationally. Of course he was not the
son of Allah. That really is a very childish thing tosay. In other
words, our Christian brothers have caused millions of people to become
irreligious; for that reason alone, millions of young people have
split away from Christianity. How can a human being be Allah? How can
someone who eats, drinks and sleeps, who has physical needs and who
prays to Allah, actually be Him. He may say he is a manifestationof
Allah, that is to say everyone is a manifestation of Allah. Even
though it is perfectly obvious that heis a prophet of Allah, that is
not enough for them, it is not enough for them to say he is a prophet.
Look, love can sometimes have such negative consequences, by which I
mean one should take shelter in Allah from such satanic love, such
love cannot beaccepted. And so they deify him. Whereas love should be
for Allah, and people should be loved as manifestations of Him.This
matter would never have arisen had people loved him as a manifestation
of Allah. Insha'Allah, in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the
Messiah (pbuh), this corruption, this dissension will all come to an
end. The prophet Jesus (pbuh) will himself explain that there is One
Allah, that Jesus (pbuh) isnot the son of Allah, and that he is
therefore not divine. That is the only way of settling them down. If
we were to tell Christians the truth now,they would not be convinced,
but since the Messiah (pbuh) will be coming and will explain the truth
of the matter personally, their minds will then be put at ease,
insha'Allah.
From Adnan Oktar's interview on 3 December 2009
ADNAN OKTAR: How close they [Jews] are very close to Muslims, they say
"Say: 'He is Allah, Absolute Oneness, Allah, the Everlasting
Sustainerof all." And that is really very nice. Surat Al-Ikhlas ,that
is also how their own belief is. The exact same belief stated in the
Surat Al-Ikhlas is applicable for them as well. For example, La ilaha
illa Allahu applies to them, too. Only Christianity has a problem with
that and that is the problem of belief in the trinity. If they do away
with that, insha'Allah, then they will be freed from the scourge of
polytheism. Any other way would be associating others with Allah. If
they have the trinity, that is associating others with Allah. Because
there is only One Allah and that is perfectly clear. Believing in the
One Allah is the basis of faith.The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) prays to
Allah in the Gospel, doesn't he? He himself says he is a servant of
Allah. Consequently if they put it right, then they will befreed from
the scourge of polytheism. But of course Islam is the one true
religion in the sight of Allah according to the Qur'an, and that is
what we believe in, but for a Christian it is Christianity,of course,
and for a Jew it is Judaism, it is Islam for a Muslim. Everyone
regards his own religionas the true one. That is perfectly normal.
Otherwise they would not be living by that faith. That is why we
cannot impose beliefs onone another, we only have to feel respect.
Thus there will be mutual respect toward one another, insha'Allah. -
