[afriend]

Jazakallah!

Greetings,

Harun Yahya's website gets posted on here almost every day. His writings are so full of errors and ignorant banalities that I'm amazed that anybody takes him seriously at all.

Peace

I've read lots of the writings on his website, which contains all of his books, I believe. I've never read any of them in book form.

Greetings Pagal Kuri,

So y do u fink der not good...:?

I don't have time to refute all the errors found in Harun Yahya's works, so I'll just give an example that has come up before.

On the following thread you'll find an example of a piece of writing by Harun Yahya:

The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution against the Fact of Creation

Below it, HeiGou gives a response to it, and later on (in post #7), you can see my response to it. That should give you some idea of why I think his writings are so terrible.

Could someone explain to me what the attraction of Harun Yahya is?

Why is he so highly regarded by so many on this forum?

Peace

[------]

Because he explains most things clearly to none Muslims and Muslims about Islam. :)

Greetings Pagal Kuri,

Thanks for your reply, but I fear you may not be aware of the many factual errors that Harun Yahya's writings are filled with. He may well be good at talking about Islam, but on any other subject he is absolutely hopeless!

You would be well advised not to take his statements about evolution, the stone age, Marxism, materialism etc. at face value. Whenever I've seen his discussions of these he's made frequent howling errors...

Peace

He may well be good at talking about Islam, but on any other subject he is absolutely hopeless!

I only look at his Islamic Teachings :)

any way he is good Scholar and Quran and Science.

Jazakallah

he is Truck

A what sorry?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

Hi Callum,

Why is he so highly regarded by so many on this forum?

He tends to be popular for his material that explain natural phenomena in our universe in light of religious values*, his material that removes misconceptions about Islam**, and of course his anti-evolution material*. His work on religious teachings*** are poor in comparison to other Islamic books available, and his works on other ideologies* may be erroneous, but they are succesful because of presentation style and not content.

Regards

[czgibson]

Greetings Ansar,

His work on religious teachings*** are poor in comparison to other Islamic books available, and his works on other ideologies* may be erroneous, but they are succesful because of presentation style and not content.

It seems we agree about this man, to some extent at least. The style and presentation of his website are flawless, I have to say, and it's easy to see why people find it attractive to read. I've read from other sources that his books are also very well presented, although I've never seen any myself.

I'm deeply suspicious of this man, though. For one thing - how are all his publications and website funded? Considering the fact that it is easy to get hold of his books for free, how does he cover the publishing costs? Either there is an organisation of willing devotees behind him, or he was a very rich man indeed before he started his enormous dawah campaign.

I think members who enjoy reading his books would be well advised to have a look at the following thread and to make up their own minds:

Harun Yahya's Deviation

Peace

[------]

There is no doubt he has contributed alot mashaAllah. :)

:D :D

No Muslim is free from imperfection. However, I admire Harun Yahya's efforts in Da'wah and calling people to Allah. This is yet to be followed by us ordinary Muslims. If we criticize him as deviant or something worse, we should put forward instead what we deem better for the benefit of Islam.

:D :D :D

[wilberhum]

It always saddens me when I see people being duped by Harun Yahya. There seams to be an instant conclusion among Muslims, that since he uses quotes from the Quran that everything he states is truth. In my estimation nothing could be further from the truth. I have never seen a non-Muslim who is not totally discussed with his distorted statements and unsubstantiated conclusions. Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) preaches “Pseudo Science” and caries no respect or creditability in the scientific communities.
There are sound reasons why that is the case.
I judge not what is in the Quran or how it is used. I only judge his scientific deceptions. His most common tactic is to attack parts of some scientific conclusion and then states that he is correct without ever defending his conclusion. Kind of a “Since your conclusion is not perfect, you are entirely wrong and I am entirely correct” approach. I have even seen where he uses entirely unsubstantiated opinions as proof that something else is wrong, when even if his opinion was entirely correct, it would have no baring on the truth of the scientific fact that challenges.
I think Muslims that respect him only do so because he tells them what they want to hear. If you read any of Adnan Oktar’s so called “scientific work” with an open mind, you will see that what I am saying is true.

Have you read the whole thread, or have you looked through it for statements you agree with?

Correct. I cannot imagine any non-Muslim looking at his works and deciding to convert to Islam. For this reason, among many others, I believe he is doing Islam a disservice.

Hey cizgibson, lets drop this topic I don't think we should talk about him behind his back if you got any questions about his work e-mail him.

It has a 'contact us' option on his site, but I don't know if that is for Harun Yahya or his webdesigners.

[wilberhum]

Harun Yahya has made himself a public figure; therefore he is open to public ridicule. To say that it is wrong to “Talk behind his back” is as ridicules as saying we shouldn’t make negative statements about George Bush or Salman Rushdie. To remain silent when I see blind devotion to deceptions would be a form of condoning them. In fact I am using massive restraint when I only accuse him of distorting. An Invitation to The Truth, is any thing but. I totally agree with czgibson “I believe he is doing Islam a disservice”.

[Ghazi]

I agree we shouldn't talk about either of the two you stated, it's called backbiting. You got a problem step up be a man and sort it out with him face to face.

It's for his web designers, unfortunately. The great man himself is far too busy producing his innumerable diatribes.

Still, I wrote them an e-mail anyway. It says on the website they'll forward such messages to him, but I highly doubt I'll get an answer from him.

Well said. He has a big enough forum to air his erroneous views in public; he should therefore be able to take any criticism that comes his way. Also, he is, of course, free to respond to my e-mail.

No ya akhee. There are some exceptions when it is permissible to talk behind ones back. They are as follows:

1. oppression
2. Identifcation.( the blind man)
3. The one who commits sins openly
4. Asking for Fatwa
5. Warning Muslims from Evil Action
6. Forbidding the evil.

What myself or others have stated is the mistakes of Harun Yahya which others may fall into, If you read the other thread which I posted, some of his theories are clearly baatil (false). I myself have not attacked him personally.

I ment when you've got issues or a problem with someone, you should speak face to face not behind their backs this could lead to sin.

Br. Far7an has already explained the 'backbiting'/'slander' issue.

[wilberhum]

Islam-truth, obviously your attitude is to remain silent regardless of the evil that any one does. That may be your choice, not mine. Why would I respectfully go to some one that I conceder a lier and a fraud, and ask for the truth?

Again I have to agree with czgibson, “If everyone on this forum adopted that policy tomorrow, it wouldn't exist anymore!”
