ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CHANNEL 35 (IZMIR) (14 March 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: …Because a huge mass of people are created for hell. We cannot compel someone who is created for hell, and who makes us feel that, to adopt the virtues of paradise. Our Prophet (saas) also tells us that. Almighty Allah says “Perhaps you will destroy yourself with grief because they will not become believers.”. Our Prophet (saas) made enormous efforts for them to find the right way, whereas they had actually come from hell. They want it, they want hell. They want to go where they are going. You can tell a sick person that Allah is testing him and will bestow paradise on him if the results of that test are good, and if the person is a Muslim he will be delighted and rejoice. But these are meaningless words for an unbeliever, someone who denies Allah. But there is nothing surprising in that. There will be many people like that. That is how the world has been created. Things will go on like that until Doomsday. People will be tested.
ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON CHANNEL 35 (IZMIR) (07 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: These are people who have been brought from hell; people who have come from hell. Our Prophet (saas), so nice, lovable and holy, met many such people. He tells them in all sincerity. And Allah says, “Perhaps you will destroy yourself with grief “ Our Prophet (saas) strives with all his might so that they will believe. But they look at him emptily, with uncomprehending eyes. The fact is that they have come from hell and will never believe. That is why Allah warns him. Look, his soul is so fine and full of love he is distraught because they will not believe and will go to hell. And he makes himself very tense. He really upsets himself, to the extent that it will damage his health. Allah tells the Prophet (saas) he will nearly destroy himself. Therefore, such people have been specially created. There is a whole community that has been specially created for hell. That is where they belong and come from. They are already active there. And they have been created in such a way as to understand nothing. ”They have eyes that don’t see”, says Allah. ”They have ears they do not hear with”, He says. ”Such people are like cattle. No, they are even further astray”, in terms of their failing to understand what they are told. He also says their hearts and eyes are blind. You imagine them to be alive, He says, but they are dead. But people imagine that Muslims do not know this, that they think they live like zombies. But these people are dead, as I have already said. There can be dead people, but people cannot understand. Many people are dead. There are many dead people. Many people are djinn, for example, but people do not know them. Also there is satan. He moves among people. And people cannot know the dead. People talk to the dead, but it is like talking to a brick wall.
ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KON TV (KONYA) (14 February 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: In verse 81 of Surat at-Tawba, Allah says “Those who were left behind were glad to stay behind the Messenger of Allah. They did not want to strive with their wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah. They said, ‘Do not go out to fight in the heat.’ Say: ‘The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only understood’.” In other words, there will be people who say, it’s summer let’s mind our own business, what concern is it of yours to preach the word and spread the religion? But Almighty Allah says “the fire of hell is even hotter. If only they understood”, He says.
