The purpose of this book is to examine the signs of the Hour through the verses of the Qur’an and hadiths of the Prophet (saas), and to show that these signs have begun to appear in our present time.
Adnan Oktar (born Ankara, 1956), also known by his pen name Harun Yahya, is a prominent advocate of Islamic creationism in the creation-evolution debate. He is considered to be the leading Muslim advocate of creationism. He subscribes to Old Earth creationism. He is against Zionism and Freemasonry and sees them as very interrelated movements, though he denounces anti-Semitism and terrorism, which he says is a product of Darwinism, not religious fanaticism.
Adnan Oktar founded the Science Research Foundation (SRF, or BAV in Turkish), whose objective is "to [establish]...peace, tranquility and love..."
"In the End Times, men will come forth who will fraudulently use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskin in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar, but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves" --- (Tirmihdi)
As the above Hadiths explains, the world we are living in now s based on selfishness and greed rather than on religion, moral values or conscience. Nowadays, religion is used as means for profit and gain. it is a characteristic of this time that faith does not depend on knowledge and study, rather on man's imitation of it.
When I first saw this book I absolutely fell in love with the look of it. It has a colourful 3D cover. The inside is full of coloured photos and interesting layouts. In my experience most Islamic books may be interesting to read but rarely interesting to look at. To be completely honest I was a little disappointed when I read it. For example "what speaking object can we compare to the shape of a whip?". The a answer being a mobile phone?!? Sorry did I miss something here? I've had many a mobile in my time and non of them even slightly resembled a whip. There's also a few others that I don't really agree with. However Harun Yahya is really only surmising these signs. After all non of us know for sure if these are the actual signs that have happened. Another example is the camel hump hadeeth. How many scholars said this meant women shouldn't wear their hair in a pony tail or bun? Then khaleeji hijabs arrived and no one can deny that looks like a camels hump! Then again some say it actually means womens punishment in hell results in the 'camel hump' head. (If you don't have a clue what in talking about Google camel hump hadeeth).
So all I am saying is some of this book may be correct some may not. Allah knows best. Good effort though.
We are now living in that age of confusion and disorder as the Sign of the End Times is manifested. Most of the signs of the End Times are happening today such as:
a. War & Anarchy b. Earthquakes c. Poverty d. Collapse of moral values e. Social deterioration f. The emergence of false prophet g. Advance in Science & Tech - medical Tech, Construction tech, Education, Transportation Tech and Communication Tech
These sign is stern warning that people should begin immediately to live their lives according to the moral teachings of the Quran.
God promises are certainly true. no one can change his promise or prevent their fulfillment as stated in the Quran
" Praise be to God, He will show you his signs and you will recognize them" (Surah An-Naml : 93)
