Pojok Harun Yahya An Invitation to The Truth

LOVE OF ALLAH

Love is one of the greatest blessings that Allah gives to people. Allah has created people in such a way that they enjoy being loved and loving others. The true source of love in the believers’ hearts is their profound love of Allah. Believers love Allah greatly and, at every moment, strive to gain His love and good pleasure. Whoever loves Allah also loves His creations, feels compassion and mercy for them.
This book seeks to remind people of the importance of feeling love toward our Lord, and the importance of Allah’s love toward His creations and the believers, as well as to demonstrate that the lack of love, which is a sign of those who deny His existence, is a great catastrophe and punishmen


THE HUMAN MIRACLE

This book will send you on a journey inside your own body, a journey on which a great many surprises await you. You will discover that in your heart, there is a generator, and that when it cuts out, a spare generator steps in to replace it. You will see how cells in your lower intestine can recognize and trap iron atoms from among the many hundreds of different substances they encounter. You will witness miraculous events that have been taking place since the day you were born throughout what you refer to as “my body,” starting right beneath your skin.
From that point of view, your human body is a whole other world, with its own modes of transport, buildings, factories, infrastructure systems, equipment more highly advanced than even the most sophisticated technology in the 21st-century world, specialized elements (cells, hormones, glands) that exhibit unexpectedly conscious behavior, fully equipped defense troops, and many other marvels.
It is most important that we consider the events that take place inside this miniaturized world, because anyone who starts thinking about them will start liberating himself from a great illusion. It will no longer be possible to deceive with evolutionary tales of how Man came into being by chance those who have witnessed the perfect creation in their own bodies. They will have now made the acquaintance of their own Creator, Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
You, reading this book, will once again encounter an incontrovertible truth. Allah created you from nothing and shaped you flawlessly. In return, what you must do is to know that when you rise in the morning, every new day bestowed upon you, is a blessing from Allah, and to give thanks to Him.

THE MIRACLE OF THE HONEYBEE

The honeybees dealt with in this book possess amazing properties: They possess the most astonishing knowledge of engineering and architecture in the animal kingdom, stand out from many other creatures in terms of their social lives, and means of communication.
In this book, the reader shall be seeing that there is no arbitrary “struggle for survival” either in nature or in the lives of bees, contrary to what the theory of evolution maintains, and that, like all creatures on Earth, bees act in accord with God’s inspiration.



ENGINEERING IN NATURE

A great many details we hardly think about are the products of engineering-designs and technology that have emerged after years of research, experience, and hard work by well-trained individuals.
For example, the refrigerator that keeps your food from spoiling was designed by engineers, as were your television, music set, elevator, watch, car and computer. All industrial machinery, satellites, spacecraft, and military technology are the products of engineering, representing the work and brainpower of a great many people.
Just like these designs that make our lives easier, there are countless designs in the bodies of living things that make their lives possible at all: perfectly functioning wings, cells that work like miniaturized chemical laboratories, infra-red-sensitive eyes that let their owners see in the dark, thick skin that can withstand heavy blows and harsh climactic conditions, and suckers that make it possible to walk on smooth surfaces- to name but a few.
When we compare such perfect designs in living things to the artificial designs that they often inspired, a striking parallel emerges: almost all the products of man's technology are no more than imitations of those in nature; and usually, they fail to match the superior design in living things, which are the work of Almighty God.

THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

The human body is the most complicated machine in the world. We see with it, hear with it, breathe with it, walk and run with it, and sense pleasure with it. Its bones, muscles, arteries, veins and internal organs are organized with marvelous design, and when we examine this design in detail we find even more amazing facts. Every part of the body, though each may seem to be so different from another, is made up of the same material: cells.


THE MIRACLE IN THE ANT

The evidence of God’s creation is present everywhere in the universe. A person comes across many of these proofs in the course of his daily life; yet if he does not think deeply, he may wrongly consider them to be trivial details. In fact in every creature there are great mysteries to be pondered. These millimeter-sized animals that we frequently come across but don’t care much about have an excellent ability for organization and specialization that is not to be matched by any other being on earth. These aspects of ants create in one a great admiration for God’s superior power and unmatched creation.



THE MIRACLE OF THE BLOOD AND HEART

If you had never been aware of the existence of the blood flowing in your body and then suddenly discovered it one day, you would be surprised. The first fact to amaze you would be the prevailing red color just beneath your skin. When you learned that the liquid causing it was constantly flowing at high speed, you would be even more astonished. When scratched or nicked, you would watch how blood flowed to the surface, soon stopped and coagulated by itself. When you examined its workings in some detail, you would realize that your body could not survive without blood and perhaps more interestingly, the blood could not survive without your body. You would then begin to wonder how and why this special fluid had been placed inside your body.
According to evolutionists, this magnificent universe, the flawless human body, all the different species of animals and plants—in short, everything that exists—came about by chance. However, when one examines anything on Earth in any detail, one can easily see how terribly erroneous the theory of evolution really is. Any biological system is so detailed and rational that far from it being brought into existence by chance, the slightest deviance would clearly disrupt its functioning.
There is flawlessness in every part and every detail in the system. Human beings discovered the details of this perfect system just in the last hundred years, and only in general terms. It is Almighty God, He Who is superior to all, Who created all these.



THE MIRACLE IN THE SPIDER

This is not a biological treatise on the tiny creature called a spider. It is indeed about the spider but the reality it reveals and the message it gives is much more significant. Just as a tiny key opens a huge door, this book will open new horizons for its readers. And the reality behind that door is the most important reality that one can come across in one’s lifetime. Relating the amazing and admirable features of spiders known by few people and asking the questions of


THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

Without electricity, what would your life be like? You would have to find a way of ascending 15 floors with no elevator and preventing food in your refrigerator from spoiling. You could not watch television, warm your dinner up in the microwave, listen to your favorite music on the stereo, quickly dry your hair, cool down your bedroom by means of air conditioning, brighten that room with the touch of a switch or to operate essential machines like your dishwasher, washing machine and clothes drier. At night, your home would be dark and unsafe, and you would live deprived of the many time-saving technologies such as electric heaters, kettles, table lamps, videos and computers—which all make our life so much easier. On a larger scale, traffic, communications, transport, security systems, workplaces, water distribution, energy production, publishing and the press, all depend on electricity as well.
During the summer of 2003, a power blackout in the USA, which affected an area extending from Detroit to Chicago, was a striking example of electricity’s vital importance. Although short-lived, it was reported as a catastrophe. Newspapers ran headlines like “LIFE COMES TO A STANDSTILL.” In the absence of electricity, traffic lights, elevators, public transport, and computers all became inoperative. People were unable to go to work, go shopping,
or even communicate with one another.
The importance of electricity, whose interruption can bring life to a complete standstill, goes far beyond this. Just as a city’s functioning depends on the continuation of the established order, so there is a need for electricity in the human body, in processes analogous to energy production, communications, security, maintenance, and repair. In short, life would be impossible in the absence of our bodies’ electrical system, which is even more essential
than the power grid in cities.
Few who make use of electricity reflect on the fact that, just like the appliances they depend on, their bodies could not function without electricity. The fact is, however, that the human body has been equipped with a flawless electricity network, along with the presence of intelligent systems that contain the most complex information and know-how
to benefit from electrical energy.
Indeed, scientists employ terms commonly used in electronics to describe the body’s nervous system: “generate,” “circuit,” “current,” “resistance,” “voltage,” “insulation,” “charge,” and so forth. It is next to impossible to describe the system without using these terms. The fact that principles necessary for the functioning of technology, discovered in only the last two centuries, have existed in the human body ever since it was first created, is a clear indication of the superior knowledge of Allah. The details set out in this book constitute just a few examples of His infinite knowledge that we have grown able to comprehend.


THE MIRACLE OF TALKING BIRDS

Some bird species have a talent rarely found in any other creature except man. The best example of this are parrots, which can imitate, in addition to human speech, a wide range of sounds that even humans can’t duplicate convincingly—for example, as the creaking of a door, the cap being removed from a bottle, a ringing telephone, or a tune being whistled. This talent to imitate, observable in parrots and some other bird species, is not an ability that can be acquired by coincidence. All the wondrous characteristics of birds that can imitate sounds are just part of the evidence God shows to man so we may witness the magnificence of His creation. In this book you will discover that talking birds use a frequency modulation (FM) system, the working system of the AM radios found in nearly all homes, that birds’ sound recognition capacity is some 10 times greater than that of humans, that birds can distinguish 10 different notes and many other astonishing facts. You will see that the way these creatures are equipped with the ability to speak and imitate sounds is one of the countless miracles of creation, and at the same time witness how that ability completely undermines the theory of evolution.


MIRACLE IN THE EYE

Before you finish reading this sentence, approximately one hundred billion (100,000,000,000) operations will have been completed inside your eyes.
The eye, the subject of this book, is one of those organs of the body that have kept evolutionists on the ropes ever since Darwin, who himself confessed, "I remember well the time when the thought of the eye made me cold all over." A close examination of the eye's structure and functions will make it clear why evolutionists have felt compelled to avoid it.


THE MIRACLE IN THE MOSQUITO

Eyesight cannot perceive God, but He has spread boundless evidence of His existence before the eyes of man. He has made manifest His infinite intelligence and knowledge in His chosen beings. With His endless grace, He gives unimaginable tasks to the most unexpected, humble, even brainless creatures.
As a result, many creatures, whether large or small, from birds to reptiles, from whales to insects, exhibit unexpected behaviour and actions that fill people with admiration. These behaviours are surprising to most people. Even man, who sees himself as an intelligent, knowledgeable and conscious being, is humbled in the face of many of these skills—for example, the spider’s ability to produce strands stronger than steel—and does not even have the power to imitate them.
The subject of this book, the mosquito, is just one such creature, aspects of whose behaviour fill us with admiration.
However, it is the creature we are most used to and encounter most commonly of these, and possibly the one we give the least thought to and consider as worthless. So, why the mosquito? The answer to this question is given in the Qur’an:
God is not ashamed to make an example of a mosquito or of an even smaller thing. As for those who believe, they know it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, “What does God mean by this example?” He misguides many by it and guides many by it. But He only misguides the deviators. (Qur’an, 2:26)


THE MIRACLE OF TERMITES

In this world of ours live many kinds of amazing creatures.
In addition to the ants, honeybees, dogs, cats, flies, spiders, horses, chickens, seagulls, sparrows and other species we know so well, there are also many we have not yet encountered. In many parts of the globe, there are millions of kinds of living things which we have never heard of. Even if we learned their names, we would have nothing to which we could compare them.
The subject of this book is an insect that most of us aren’t used to seeing in our environment. This insect is the termite, which resembles an ant in appearance and partially in the way it lives.
Some people may be surprised to find a book entirely about termites. What, they may ask, is there to tell about these small insects? But as you will soon see, this little-known creature has characteristics that may open people’s minds to an entirely different horizon of ideas.


THE MIRACLES OF SMELL AND TASTE

You have been using your senses of smell and taste ever since you first came into the world, and can now perceive tens of thousands of scents and flavors with no difficulty. That is because you possess magnificent systems that make this possible. Your senses of smell and taste work faultlessly and tirelessly on your behalf, throughout your entire lifetime. What is more, you have paid nothing for them, have received no specialized training and make no effort at all in order to make use of them.
Medical and biological textbooks on the subject tell us that we owe our perceptions of smell and taste to our noses, tongues and brains. It is true, of course that we perceive flavors and odors by means of these organs. Yet another point here is ignored, whether consciously or otherwise. The question that’s generally overlooked and that really needs to be answered is this: To whom do we owe the existence of our noses, tongues and brains?
Most people think that it is sufficient to know that they smell with their noses and taste with their tongues, and are not concerned with the intricate details. Yet this is a serious mistake to make. Taste and smell are inseparable, essential elements of everyone’s life, and it is terribly heedless for anyone aware of that to ignore the significant details that these senses present.

JUSTICE AND TOLERANCE IN THE QUR’AN

While you read these lines, injustice wins out in many societies all over the world. For the solution, a morality which will enable people to set aside their personal benefits for the sake of justice is needed. This morality is the Qur’anic morality, that Allah teaches and commands us. Qur’anic morality commands a pure justice with no discrimination between people, and in favor of the rightful and truthful.




Pojok Keajaiban Al-Quran:


MIRACLES OF THE QUR’AN

The unprecedented style and the superior wisdom inherent in the Qur’an is conclusive evidence confirming that it is the Word of God. Apart from this, there are a number of miracles verifying its Divine nature, one of them being that, 1,400 years ago, it declared a number of scientific facts that have only been established thanks to the technological breakthroughs of the 20th century. In this book, in addition to the scientific miracles of the Qur’an, you will also find messages regarding history and mathematics.



THE MIRACLES OF THE QURAN - 1

Fourteen centuries ago, Allah sent down the Qur'an. This book of guidance and wisdom calls man to the truth and instructs all human beings to adhere to the values which this mighty revelation contains. From the day of its revelation to the Day of Judgment, this last divine book will remain as the sole guide for humanity. In addition, the Qur'an contains within its words many miracles which prove it to be Allah's word. One of these attributes is the remarkable number of scientific truths which are contained in the Book of Islam. In this film you will see how tens of thousands of bees are able to live together in the hive with no difficulty, how they follow directions, and how they produce honey. With verses from the Qur'an, we shall once again be seeing that there is no arbitrary and random "struggle for survival" either in nature or in the lives of bees, contrary to what the theory of evolution would have us believe.
