Adnan Oktar A9 TV; February 12th, 2018

Everything that is detached from God would cause distress for people. People are not independent beings. They are dependent on destiny. Just as the broadcast of a TV channel is dependent on a certain system and cannot step out of that system, we are also dependent on the system of destiny and it is not possible for us to live a reasonable life without forming a bond with God. We lead a consistent, rational and moderate life when we form a strong connection with God.

Being sad is clearly unlawful according to Islam; it is forgetting God and it is idolatry. A person who is sad – may God forbid- is actually saying ‘ I do not believe that God is creating the best of everything, I do not like the destiny God has created.’ God would instantly respond to such an act, take away one’s wisdom and such a person would be prone to making all sorts of mistakes.

Ascribing individual power to incidents and individuals, imagining that they have their own powers would be idolatry and also cruelty in the Sight of God. God is the One Who creates every incident, everything is under God’s control. Nothing happens unless God wills so.

A person who puts his trust in God, who submits to God would never ascribe any partners to God. If a person who has fallen ill says ‘ I will now go to the doctor’s, the doctor will give me a pill and that pill will heal me,” that person would be ascribing partners to God. One should say ‘I will go to the doctor’s and God will make the pill the doctor will prescribe instrumental and if God wills so, I will get better.”

The Infinite Power Who holds sway over all the images every single person sees, righteously would demand a constant connection with Him. When one is in contact with God, everything in his life would be very nice. When one severs his connection with God, there would be problems and distresses in single moment of his life.

The world is a place of a strong and keen faith. When God is forgotten, when thanks are not addressed to God, God crushes people all around the world. Unless people return to God, God would not give relief to people. If people return to God, the whole world would instantly find relief.

It would not be compliant with the Qur’an for a person to be worried about the future. A person who worries about the future shows that he imagines that there is a force other than God forgetting that everything is under the command of God; and that would be idolatry. Idolatry is ascribing partners to God and is a grave sin.

When people forget God, God gives them troubles –sometimes little, sometimes more intense- to remind of Himself. God always brings people closer to Himself through different means. This is a beautiful blessing of God.

They [some people] don't understand God’s laws; that’s why they are so worried about everything. They think that every object, every being in the world is independently capable. They wrongly think that cars, houses, medications, in short everything has a power that is independent from God. That’s why they are continuously suffering, continuously in pain. If they comprehended that there is only one God and only God has power, if they surrendered to God, they would have lived very comfortably.

Idolatry lies beneath the feelings of hatred and resentment. These are feelings stemming from not understanding destiny. One should not forget that God is the One Who creates everything.

A person who abandons God falls terribly. We need to hold onto God tightly and never let go.

A person who idolizes his property, family, job or house moves away from the right path. One who follows the Qur’an is on the right path.

Abandoning God is the cause of all mental illnesses. The soul and body of a person who forgets God would be impaired.

After our Prophet (saas) has passed, Islam strayed from its true form and became a religion of shirk (idolatry). As a result, the dajjal took away art, quality, joy and life away from Muslims.

God turns people to Himself through diseases and the death of their kins so that people can win their eternal lives. Disease is the best trial in this world. The beauty of people who take care of patients increases because of their altruism and fidelity. God creates a special light on their faces.

The one you say you love is actually an image inside your brain. Who is the One Who creates them to the smallest detail? Who is the One Who makes you love and Who makes you speak? God is the One Who creates all these. I mean there is nothing that belongs to the person across from you. If you give your love to an imaginary idol instead of God, that would be the worst kind of deception: You would be deceiving yourself.

There are two kinds of idolatry. The first one is confessed idolatry. For instance, they build up an idol and worship it. That is confessed idolatry. And there is also covert idolatry. That is believing that others, someone or something other than God has power. For instance, it is believing that people have independent power. Actually God is the One Who makes everyone speak, He is the One Who makes everyone speak and do things.

A Muslim should be alert and sharp for 24 hours against secret idolatry. A person frequently comes across with idolatry. One escapes from idolatry but it chases him. When idolatry hunts a person down, he should shake it off and save himself.

A person who constantly thinks about God, who loves God and is sincere all the time would always think good. Those who submit themselves to God would think in the best manner all the time.

A person’s sincerity would instantly be understood from the cordiality in his manners and language. One feels at ease and peaceful in the presence of a sincere person. The negativity of the insincere person would be felt instantly. Our Prophet (saas) was a very sincere person, people felt very at ease and safe in his presence. Hazrat Hamza came to him while he was fully armed yet he instantly found tranquility and peace when he saw our Prophet’s positive tone and electricity.

A profound love for God is required before all else for respect to exist. Once one’s attention is constantly given to God, respect would come about. Otherwise selfishness would develop and people would almost be reduced to a bestial state and become aggressive.

A strong movement of dajjal is necessary for the trial of Muslims. What is miraculous is that those who believe are able to defeat the system of the dajjal despite their limited means. The Prophet Abraham defeated all the armies of Nimrod with his limited means, so did the Prophet Moses and our Prophet. God says the followings in the Qur’an: “Those who are unbelievers should not imagine that the extra time We grant to them is good for them. We only allow them more time so they will increase in evildoing. They will have a humiliating punishment.” (Surah Al-Imran, 176) “Do not be deceived by the fact that those who do not believe move freely about the earth. A brief enjoyment; then their shelter will be Hell. What an evil resting-place!” (Surah Al-Imran, 196,197)

All hardships, all troubles are created with wisdom to bring goodness. No hardship could ever come about accidentally. Everything is created neatly, systematically and orderly in a timely manner.

Ataturk was a classy, devout person. Those who protect the values Ataturk brought should be modern, enlightened, high quality, class and devout. Protecting the values Ataturk brought is only possible by emulating his devoutness, his living by Islam as described in the Qur’an, his kindness, his good manners and high quality.

Children should be approached with respect. Having a child inside a house is a great blessing; that child would be the greatest luxury of that house.
