Adnan Oktar A9 TV; May 20th, 2017

Ataturk (founder of Turkey) was a refined Muslim. He was a man who loved and read the Qur’an.

Both Atatürk and Bediuzzaman were blessed people who were vanguards of Mahdi.

My books have contributed greatly to the growing admiration and respect among the conservative people of Turkey towards Atatürk.

Ataturk says that communism should be intellectually crushed wherever it rises. This is a very good advise that should be followed.

Atatürk was a very classy person who used to read the Qur'an every night. Certain people’s attempts at insults will not hurt him.

Ataturk opened religious schools, distributed thousands of copies of the Qur’an in Anatolia, had the Qur’an translated into Turkish.

Ataturk wanted the true Islam as described in the Qur’an to prevail. He was a perfect Ottoman gentleman, was very classy and modern.

Back in his time, they did not take good care of the late Ataturk. They didn’t take care of his health. We wouldn’t have let that happen, if we were around at the time.

Ataturk was a religious Muslim who sent thousands of copies of the Qur’an to Anatolia and who carried a copy of the Qur’an in his pocket all the time.

Ataturk struggled mightily against bigotry and took Islam based on the Qur’an as a basis. This attitude of Ataturk was utterly right.

Ataturk, the founder of Turkish Republic, was a person who advocated Islam based solely on the Qur’an.

Telling the real religious character of Ataturk is one of our significant services. Love for Ataturk is enjoyed in wide masses owing to our works.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a radiant Muslim who served Islam very well, who opened religious vocational schools, who have had tens of thousands of copies of the Qur’an published to be distributed throughout Anatolia, who had the Qur’an translated into Turkish, who always carried a copy of the Qur’an with him, who founded the Directorate of Religious Affairs and who had innumerable numbers of mosques built.

Instead of the bigoted understanding, Ataturk brought a perfect understanding of Islam to Turkey. He had divinity schools established, Directorate of Religious Affairs founded, had Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır prepare a commentary of the Qur’an and had 100 thousands of copies of the Qur’an in Turkish distributed to the Turkish people.

Since they lead an introverted life, some of our brothers from the right wing do not understand how important our reconciliatory attitude is. In the past, there was a great gap between the Atatürkist secular fraction and the conservative fraction. We have explained with proof that Atatürk is a sincere believer and that there is secularism in the Qur’an. We have shown them that religiousness is an exuberant life. We have ensured that this gap between these two fractions is closed. In many countries coups are plotted using this gap between these two fractions. We have thus been instrumental in preventing such a dissension.

There is no reincarnation according to the Qur’an.

People like greenery and the seas because of the inherent desire they have for Heaven.

Secularism is best explained in Islam and the Qur’an. The commandment in the Qur’an that reads “your religion is yours and my religion is mine” is the best application of secularism.

If the congregation in the mosque is kind, loving, compassionate people, children will love going to the mosques. The priority should be the refinement of the souls of mosque congregations.

People instinctively long for Heaven. People are created to be drawn to love beauty, to water, to greenery.

In the Hereafter, our Prophet (saas) will be held accountable only with regards to the Qur’an. Muslims are responsible only for following the Qur’an .

We will be able to appreciate the beauties in Heaven because of the difficulties we will have experienced in this life. Hardships are necessary for people to become more refined.

Anything other than the Qur’an will divide Muslims. Abiding by the Qur’an is the only way for the unity of the Islamic world.

I have deep love for all believers. Believers always approach believers with love.

Without trials and tribulations, life and people would become crude and dull. However, difficulties create beauties, fine details and refinement.
