About The Author
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan
Oktar was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary
and secondary education in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's
Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since
the 1980s, he has published many books on political, scientific, and
faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of
important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, their
invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and such
bloody ideologies as fascism and communism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 57 different languages,
constitute a collection for a total of more than 45,000 pages with
30,000 illustrations.
His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (
Aaron
) and Yahya
(
John
), in memory of the two esteemed prophets who fought against their
peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) seal on his books' covers is symbolic and is linked to their contents.
It represents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace), last of the prophets. Under the
guidance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [may Allah
bless him and grant him peace]), the author makes it his purpose to disprove
each fundamental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have the "last word," so
as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. He uses
the seal of the final Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace), who attained ultimate wisdom and moral
perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to
convey the Qur'an's message, encourage readers to
consider basic faith-related issues such as Allah's
existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose
irreligious systems' feeble foundations and perverted
ideologies.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many
countries, from India to America, England to
Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, Spain to
Brazil, Malaysia to Italy, France
to Bulgaria and Russia. Some
