The author, who writes under the pen-name HARUN YAHYA, was born in Ankara in 1956. Having
completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he then studied arts at Istanbul's
Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, the author has
published many books on political, faith-related and scientific issues. Harun Yahya is well-known
as an author who has written very important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, the
invalidity of their claims and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and bloody ideologies.
His pen-name is made up of the names "Harun" (Aaron) and "Yahya" (John), in memory of the
two esteemed 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 Koran
as the last Book by Allah and the last word of Him and our Prophet, the last of all the prophets.
Under the guidance of the Koran 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, who attained
ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, is used as a sign of his intention of saying this last word.
All these works by the author centre around one goal: to convey the message of the Koran to
people, thus encouraging them to think about basic faith-related issues, such as the existence of
Allah, His unity and the hereafter, and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of
godless systems.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America, England to
Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, and Spain to Brazil. Some of his books are available in English, French,
German, Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Uygur Turkish,
and Indonesian, and they have been enjoyed by readers all over the world.
Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have been instrumental in many people
putting their faith in Allah and in many others gaining a deeper insight into their faith. The
wisdom, and the sincere and easy-to-understand style employed give these books a distinct touch
which directly strikes any one who reads or examines them. Immune to objections, these works are
characterised by their features of rapid effectiveness, definite results and irrefutability. It is
unlikely that those who read these books and give a serious thought to them can any longer
sincerely advocate the materialistic philosophy, atheism and any other perverted ideology or
philosophy. Even if they continue to advocate, this will be only a sentimental insistence since these
books have refuted these ideologies from their very basis. All contemporary movements of denial
are ideologically defeated today, thanks to the collection of books written by Harun Yahya.
There is no doubt that these features result from the wisdom and lucidity of the Koran. The
author certainly does not feel proud of himself; he merely intends to serve as a means in one's
search for Allah's right path. Furthermore, no material gain is sought in the publication of these
works.
Considering these facts, those who encourage people to read these books, which open the
"eyes" of the heart and guide them in becoming more devoted servants of Allah, render an
invaluable service.
Meanwhile, it would just be a waste of time and energy to propagate books which create
confusion in peoples' minds, lead man into ideological chaos, and which, clearly have no strong and
precise effects in removing the doubts in peoples' hearts, as also verified from previous
experience. It is apparent that it is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's literary
power rather than the noble goal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect.
Those who doubt this can readily see that the sole aim of Harun Yahya's books is to overcome
disbelief and to disseminate the moral values of the Koran. The success, impact and sincerity this
service has attained are manifest in the reader's conviction.
One point needs to be kept in mind: The main reason for the continuing cruelty and conflict,
and all the ordeals Muslims undergo is the ideological prevalence of disbelief. These things can
only come to an end with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by ensuring that everybody knows
about the wonders of creation and Koranic morality, so that people can live by it. Considering the
state of the world today, which forces people into the downward spiral of violence, corruption and
conflict, it is clear that this service has to be provided more speedily and effectively. Otherwise, it
may be too late.
It is no exaggeration to say that the collection of books by Harun Yahya have assumed this
leading role. By the Will of Allah, these books will be the means through which people in the 21
st
century will attain the peace and bliss, justice and happiness promised in the Koran.
