HarunYahyaTurkey


Adnan Oktar, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya, was born in Ankara in 1956. He studied Arts at Istanbul Mimar Sinan University and Philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, the author has published articles and more than 150 books on political, faith-related and scientific issues.


Harun Yahya’s books are available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Uygur Turkish, Malay, and Indonesian. There is a wide readership in India, the United States, England, Indonesia, Poland, Bosnia, Spain and Brazil.


His pen-name is made up of the names “Harun” (Aaron) and “Yahya” (John), in memory of the two prophets who fought against lack of faith. The Prophet ’s seal on the cover of the author’s books has a symbolic meaning linked to the their contents. This seal represents the Qur’an as the last Book of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad as His last messenger. Under the guidance of the Qur’an and Sunnah, the author makes it his main goal to disprove each one of the fundamental tenets of godless ideologies and to have the “last word”, so as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. The seal of the Prophet is used as a sign of his intention of saying this last word.


Harun Yahya’s works revolve around one goal: to convey the message of the Qur’an to people and thus to encourage them to think about basic faith-related issues, such as the existence of Allah, His unity and the hereafter, and to remind them of some important issues.


Harun Yahya says that Darwinism has caused many people to doubt the existence of God and many have been led by Darwinism to completely abandon their faith. The theory of evolution, he says, is “a fairy-tale, a great deceit, that is totally at variance with the real world”. It constitutes the underpinnings of a dishonest philosophy, namely materialism, which essentially denies the existence of a divine creator and transforms humanity into a creature that only heeds matter. There are three main reasons to invalidate Darwinism.


First of all, evolutionary theory cannot explain the origins of life on the earth. Secondly, theoretical evolutionary mechanisms, such as natural selection, favourable variation and mutation have no real evolutionary power. Thirdly, the fossil record proves that living beings did not evolve but emerged completely and perfectly on the earth.
