Ya I was gonna start a thread about that because I came across a video by Bilal Phillips that said bad things about Harun Yahya.

thats right brother, he said harun yahya informs that god is in everything however this is the very basis of idolatry since idolaters try to find god in matter.

hope someone would elaborate soon
 
I was one if his fans as well, but I refrained from watching/reading his materials when I knew the truth about his aqeedah.....may Allah save us.
 
Personalty I like his books. But I cringe whenever he tries to present something as scientific. He really botches his "Scientific Proofs" up.

Although I do not recommend him for Da'wah material, I find he is interesting and thought provoking if the reader already has a good, solid foundation in Islam. Nice reading for intelligent, knowledgable teenagers who can understand it is a person's opinion presented in an interesting format.

Good reading, but it must be kept in the context of being metaphors and analogies and should not be presented as proven fact.

In other word, it's a double edged weapon I guess.

i read his few books . Did not find anything objectionable so far.
 
Greetings,

Harun Yahya's organisation provides propaganda for Islam at an astonishing rate. The man himself (real name Adnan Oktar) claims to have written over three hundred books in the last thirty years; if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

I'm very surprised to hear Woodrow recommending these books as "Nice reading for intelligent, knowledgable teenagers". Most teenagers I've met would be able to see through them straight away...

Have a read of Adnan Oktar's wikipedia entry and decide if you would trust this man.

Peace
 
I heard he is launching a campaign against Evolution. From my knowledge there is nothing in the Qu'ran or the Hadiths to suggest that Islam is against or supports evolution. Does not speak of it.

So this campaign is pointless. I would avoid reading his book, I rather read something objective and impartial.

If evolution denies that Prophet Adam pbuh is the first human being and Allah taught him names of all things , if evolution concept teaches that human being came from apes or something like this and first human being could not walk or talk , then surely Islam is against it.

..and Allah created in Adam the knowledge of the names of everything. ( chapter 2 ; verse 31 )

Biological Evolution – An Islamic Perspective

There is nothing to be concerned about this at all. I don't personally see what the issue here it.

Whether Evolution is valid or not, it is not a religious enquiry but a scientific one.

if evoluction concept does not accept that Allah created human being in a perfect shape , then it contradicts with holy Quran . If Harun Yahya starts compaign aginast it , I think he did a good job. I don't know about his all opinion , if he is a sufi or not , but in this case he is right .

Which is why I recommended it for them. It should be intersting for the age group, yet they would have enough intelligence to understand his method is not scientific. I would not recommend him to anybody who is naive about scientific methods.

Do you mean interesting along the lines of "look at the kind of mind-shrinking nonsense this charlatan has been able to get away with churning out so far"?

Anyone who does not like Harun Yahya , pl. post examples from his books or sites those go against mainstream Islam. Thanks.
 
all i will say is Allah has blessed this man with a very unique gift to catch his readers eye

:sl:that may be true but the amount of people who are after reverting to islam after reading his books is amazing. i think this man has a talent and i believe he will be rewarded even if the stuff he writes is not perfect
